The Pooch

We have all been plagued with guilt over why we just don't seem to be able to work out something in motherhood.

labour, latching, settling or just having all our shit in order.

On this episode I talk about maternal instincts and the fact that while they might be a beautiful idea in theory, the concept does a lot of damage and may be a bit far from the reality of being a human in mother form.

I hope you enjoy this one and walk away with a plate FULL of left overs and the knowledge that you are, in fact learning every day (and doing an amazing job at that)

Love you x

Let's talk about 'the village' ... thats right. The one you all keep looking for? The one everyone thinks is just bout mums wanting a bunch of pa's so our lives get easier?

Lets talk about the fact that the village is NOT just about mums! Every single person benefits from a village! No, its not just mums getting free childcare from women who are childfree by choice (yep I have seen that take online so many times).

Enjoy x

My kids actually stayed asleep for this whole recording! Woohoo so Im going to enjoy a wine and some chill time now!

The divorce effect is rife all over social media. Why is it that women are glowing up after divorce and not able to live this full version of themselves within their marriages?

What is happening during that marriage that even though there are two fully formed adults present, she is feeling depleted and only able to shake that once she is actually alone. Is it actually better to be alone than lonely?

I pull this apart on this weeks episode and very fired up might I add!

This episode got me excited! Because these are 3 very practical things you can do and they are things I am currently doing that are really helping me stay focussed and continue prioritising my goals as a mum!

Our goals matter, not just matter but are so beneficial to our families. When your kids see a mum who is smashing her goals v a mum who is just dedicated to their needs they get a very different outcome! I promise you!

You need to make space and time for your things! I promise you, when you do you will be entering a whole new level of loving motherhood!

Episode 80! Im thrilled we are here! and its just the beginning!

I have been obsessed lately with working out what makes it possible for some women to really lock in and build the life they have always wanted. Living the dream life and just having it all!

Having it all seems like an impossibility because we have silently mixed having it all and doing it all.... which are literally mutually exclusive! There is no way to have it all while taking charge of all the moving parts.

With that said... I am telling you having it all IS possible. We just need to do some housekeeping of our mindsets first!

Love you to bits!

First of all CONGRATULATIONS!

With that said, I want you to understand that the postpartum experience of your partner will heavily weigh on how well she is supported especially over the earlier months once the baby has arrived.

I have chosen the 5 things I think are most important for you to know, because this lays heavily on you now!

We have all heard of postpartum depression, baby blues etc but I can tell you, hand on heart, the stats will look vastly different once the postpartum period is treated as primarily a recovery phase.

Please pass this episode to someone who needs to hear it.

Love ya!

Super vulnerable episode for me! I know this is the reality for so many women postpartum.

Body positivity is the most powerful movement but can we be ok to share that we are unhappy with our bodies without being seen to be body shaming?

I don't feel good about my body. I barely feel neutral at the best of times.

But is this something new or is this just the way I have always viewed my body this way.

I am sharing because I know I am not the only one!

Please let me know if this sounds like you! we need to do something about this big time!

Hey Mama! This week I am asking the questions that will make you think! Think about who it is that you remember growing up and why! The women in your life that you admired the most! I want us to really reflect on the fact that if we keep on this martyrdom, we are just robbing our kids of a woman who shines and makes the most of her life. That is exactly what I now my kids need!

I hope you enjoy!

and mama (my mum) I love you

Is this a recipe for the older karen? Are we shrinking down so much that we explode and become so called "menopausal women"

I think this will be part 1 of a big discussion! BRB going to collect some karen's to interview LOL
