Lately, it can feel like our energy is always running on empty - especially when you’re juggling motherhood, work, and the endless to-do list. If you’ve ever told yourself, “I just don’t have time for self-care,” this episode is for you.

Today, we’re exploring Bramacharya - the yogic principle of mindful energy. Forget the old myths about celibacy; Bramacharya is really about honouring your life force, setting gentle boundaries, and choosing where your attention goes, so you can show up for what matters most.

So often, it’s not really about time - it’s about believing your own care is worth prioritising. We’ll talk about:

• Why your energy is sacred (and how to stop feeling guilty for protecting it)
• Simple ways to notice where your energy leaks away - and how to gently reclaim it
• A grounding presence practice to help you reconnect with your worth, even on the busiest days
• Real talk about boundaries, self-worth, and why caring for yourself is a gift to your family

Lately, life has felt like a balancing act - juggling solo parenting, endless to-dos, and the quiet hope that I’m not the only one feeling stretched thin. If you’re moving through your own season of giving and giving, this episode is for you. Today, we’re diving into Asteya, the yogic principle of non-stealing, and how it can help us notice the small ways we forget to care for ourselves.

We’ll explore:

• The subtle ways we “steal” from ourselves - by saying yes when we mean no, skipping rest, or putting our needs last
• How to gently notice these patterns without judgment
• A simple presence practice to help you give back to yourself, even on the busiest days
• Why honouring your own enoughness is a gift to everyone you love

This week, I’m coming to you from the heart of solo parenting, just me, my toddler, and the wild, wonderful mess of daily life. If you’re solo parenting or simply feeling stretched thin, you’re not alone. In this episode, I share how the yogic principle of Satya (truthfulness) has become my anchor, both in the chaos of motherhood and on a recent challenging hike.

We’ll explore:

• How to meet yourself with honesty and compassion, even on the hard days
• The stories we tell ourselves when we feel like we’re not enough
• A simple presence practice you can use anytime, anywhere
• Why your truth, no matter how messy, is always enough

Welcome to Season 2 of The Unplugged Life, with a brand new, bite-sized format designed for your busiest days. In this first episode, Clare dives into the most powerful lesson she's learned: the art of surrender.

She shares her personal story of fighting against the flow and how she found true magic in a simple moment of letting go.

In this episode, you will:

• Understand why surrender is not a sign of weakness, but an act of trust.
• Practice a simple, guided three-part breath to release the need for control.
• Explore the "Enoughness Corner," where Clare answers a listener's question about dealing with the guilt of rest.

If you’re ready to let go of the pressure to be perfect and find your peace, this episode is for you.

Welcome to a very special episode of The Unplugged Life Podcast! This week, your host Clare Gent is joined by her dear friend and esteemed psychotherapist, Clare Patterson, from Therapist's Corner.

In this deep dive into Gratitude, we challenge the conventional "buzzword" perception and explore what true gratitude actually means for high-achieving mums in our always-on world. Clare Patterson shares profound insights from her work, helping us understand how cultivating a genuine feeling of gratitude can be a powerful force in your mental health journey.

In this episode, we explore:

• Gratitude beyond the concept: Discover why gratitude is a deep, inherent feeling, not just an idea or a chore.
• The digital comparison trap: How social media fuels a feeling of "lack" and why focusing on gratitude is the ultimate digital detox.
• Healing from burnout: We candidly discuss our own journeys from the "hamster wheel" to a path of healing and presence.
• Navigating gratitude in challenging times: Practical, empathetic advice for finding tiny pockets of appreciation even when you're overwhelmed (like a screaming toddler or endless to-do lists).
• The body-mind connection: How stored emotions and tension can block feelings of gratitude, and why moving that energy (through yoga or other physical activity) is crucial for mental well-being.
• Gratitude as a positive feedback loop: Learn how cultivating a grateful attitude can attract more positivity and opportunity into your life.
• Simple, actionable steps: Easy ways for busy mums to weave gratitude into their daily lives, including the "3 Good Things" ritual and mindful moments.

This conversation is a compassionate invitation to reclaim your peace, shift your perspective from scarcity to abundance, and find authentic joy amidst the chaos.
