Take a gentle breath with me as we unpack the quiet pressures that follow us - across oceans and into the daily mess of motherhood. In this week’s episode, I share the surprising truth I discovered in Bali: no matter where we go, the weight of “shoulds” can travel right along with us… unless we choose to soften, breathe, and let go - even just a little.

Together, we’ll explore why real enoughness isn’t something you chase or finally “earn” after a perfect morning, a tidy house, or a flawless routine. It starts in the here and now, with a simple pause and a hand on your heart.

If you’re longing for some gentle structure, I’ve created a free 3-Day Mum Reset filled with calming tools and simple practices for real, everyday life.

No packing, no perfection required. Just you, softening into your enoughness, again and again. Tune in and take this moment for yourself.

This week, I’m sharing the story behind why I quit filming yoga flows for Instagram and how that single act helped me reclaim my practice (and my peace) from the grip of performance. We’ll talk about how the pressure to “get it right” shows up everywhere (from the yoga mat to motherhood) and what it really means to come home to yourself.

Inside this episode:

• The hidden cost of turning your practice into a performance
• A grounding “Enoughness” presence practice you can use anytime
• Real talk from the Enoughness Corner: guilt, comparison, and how to break free
• How to anchor into your own inner authority, on and off the mat

Thank you for listening, for choosing authenticity, and for being part of this community.

You are enough - exactly as you are.

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

• A simple presence practice you can use anytime, anywhere

• 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.

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.
