Join me as I pour my morning cuppa and share on rock bottom moments, the gift of desperation, and what happens when you finally decide to break the cycle.

Sometimes falling through the floor is the wake-up call. Literally. In this ep, I share how crashing through my deck cracked open way more than wood— It brought clarity, softness, and a whole new level of surrender.

In this final part, I flip the script. Not all emotionally rooted memories are heavy — some hold the frequency of joy, safety, and power. I walk you through how I use these kinds of memories to anchor new emotional states, and how you can start rewiring your system for expansion, not survival.

We’re diving deeper into the mechanics of emotionally rooted memories — how they’re tied to your trauma and how they quietly shape your boundaries (or lack of them). I riff on a few common misconceptions about what boundaries actually are and share how I use this work to create safer, cleaner boundaries that stick.

I recorded this one on a walk — raw and real — because I felt the pull to speak on emotionally rooted memories. In this ep, I talk about what they are, how they show up in your day-to-day, and how they shape your reactions before you even realise it. This one’s about awareness. No edits. Just truth.

This episode is part passion, part soapbox—and one I could’ve talked about for hours.

I’m diving into why I care so deeply about helping mums regulate their nervous system and hold boundaries that actually hold them.

Inside, I share:

• How I was raised by a single mum—and what I inherited emotionally
• Why our kids become extensions of our emotional overflow
• The truth about nervous system states, regulation tools, and choosing the right support
• Why boundaries + regulation aren’t just personal healing—they’re generational leadership
• What changes in our kids when they see us hold our ground with calm, clarity, and worth

This episode is a rally cry for the mums who are breaking cycles, one nervous system response at a time.

And it’s a reminder that you’re not meant to do it alone.

This is the village.

You’re the legacy.

And your nervous system is the foundation.

This wasn’t the episode I planned to record.

But perfectionism had me sitting on this podcast for a year and a half—so I hit record in my car, imperfect and all.

In this impromptu drop, I’m unpacking how perfectionism shows up in addiction, motherhood, business, and creativity—and why the chase to “get it right” almost cost me everything.

I talk about:

• How, even in active addiction, I was obsessing over assignments—perfect fonts, perfect tables—while high on meth, no sleep or food for days
• Why I thought I needed a cohost, the perfect name, and a 10-step plan before starting
• What perfectionism really protects us from (and how it keeps us stuck)
• The resentment you carry when you live for other people’s approval

This one is unfiltered, raw, and exactly what I needed to say—so maybe it’s what you need to hear.

Let’s talk about the messy, beautiful in-between.

The identity shifts that hit you like a freight train the moment you become a mum—and again when you build a business, find your voice, or start honouring your boundaries for the first time.

In this episode, I’m opening up about:

• My current season of unravelling and remembering
• How I’m navigating identity death while raising four kids + running a business
• What it looks like to lead yourself when you don’t fully know who you’re becoming yet
• Why emotional capacity—not clarity—is the real foundation of growth

This isn’t polished. This is practice.

If you’ve been in the thick of “Who even am I now?”—this one’s for you.

In this first episode, I’m taking you all the way back.

Back to when I felt like scum. Back to the version of me who believed she had to earn love, peace, or permission to rest.

And how recovery—specifically from drug addiction—became the practice ground for everything I now teach and live.

This episode is raw and real.

I’m sharing:

• How Worthy AF Mum was born
• Why recovery gave me the space to rebuild my nervous system and identity
• The importance of bringing back the village so no mum has to rise alone
• What I hope this podcast becomes for you

This is your invitation to be seen, held, and activated in your own evolution.

You're not alone. And you're never too far gone.
