I've created a free 'Stress and Anxiety' toolkit in my free facebook community. We look at moving from Overwhelm, into being upset and emotional, from there into supporting our bodies more and then taking action.This meditation is all part of the steps to calming ourselves when we are really upset. First we listen to our emotions, then we dig deeper with journalling. This healing meditation then helps us to let them go, so that we can move on - thus freeing us up to create o...

I've talked to a lot of mums who are genuinely worried, because 2 months into lockdown in the UK and they still don't have a 'structure' or schedule and even more than usual are finding that the 'chores' are not getting done!Well this is a positive spin on it - yes structure can relieve tension.

So i've had several mums reach out to me because they are overwhelmed by how much is now needed for them to grasp on the internet or social media.Even more so are the small business owner mums looking to adjust or move their business online - but there seems to be so much and it all seems so difficult - email lists, zoom, online course platforms, facebook lives, which social media - argh!So i'm sharing my tips on how to not be overwhelmed by it all and come out winning - plus my own personal ...

I'm always a big fan of having a very strong USP (unique selling proposition) for just ONE thing, aimed at just ONE market.It's really important when you start a business, so that there is clarity for your potential clients/customers, so that they recognise you can help them.
