I help mums who have lost themselves gain the strength to put themselves first and find fulfilment.
People pleasing
From a recovering people pleaser, who still slips up at times, I notice so many of us doing it without even realising.
We think we are being kind, nice or thoughtful and we donโt want to upset people but it can be detrimental.
I know this first hand. ๐ค
I often find myself delving into this with the Mums that I work with.
Ask yourself who are you people pleasing to?
Your Parents
Your In-laws
Your kids
Your boss
Your emails
Your text messages
Your siblings
Your friends
Your partner

Nothing changes if nothing changes.
First we need to acknowledge what needs to change.
Then we need to take the actions to make the changes.
Step 1. Identify your biggest issue right now. Step 2. Take simple actions to change the situation Eg, I hate my job. I have been here for 5 years and its soul destroying.
๐๐ปWork out what job you would like to do instead?
๐๐ปStart looking at jobs in that industry to work out what you need to apply.
๐๐ปDo you need to get your resume updated? ๐๐ปDo you need to take a course in order to qualify for the position?
Take small steps to change big things.
You can do it.

Mumma's you are enough.
When you are constantly telling yourself you are not doing enough, giving enough, being enough.
You absolutely are Enough.
Let this be your daily mantra.
"I am enough"
Mumma's I see you ๐
What does freedom mean to you?
For me, its not being in my head 24/7 and constantly feeling overwhelmed with life.
It's being able to have "me time" without the guilt.
Itโs knowing what my purpose and passions are and following them.
Itโs choosing to have a positive mindset.
It's choosing to do what works for me and my family.
Its loving my life because I had the choice to change it and I did.
Come join me and other Mummas choosing to change their lives.
Reclaim your life!

What I have done to create and change my life?
I seeked professional help when I needed to eg psychologists, psychiatrists etc
I joined online groups with likeminded women whoโve helped build me up and support my visions.
I created healthy boundaries.
I worked with 1:1 mentors as I worked through limiting beliefs, fears and traumas.
I started saying no to the things i didn't want to do.
I started saying yes to the things that I was a little bit scared of. Things that pushed me out of my comfort zone.
I worked and continue to work on my mindset every single day.
You can do it too.
Start with one thing.

Our girls are watching us.
They watch how we parent them,
How we communicate with our partners,
How we speak to the people we love,
How we judge others,
How we speak to ourselves.
I am now constantly aware of this and do everything I can to resist saying negative things about myself in front of my 3 girls.
"I am fat!"
"I look horrible in thisโฆ"
"I need to lose weight!"
Our girls are watching us.
Learning from us.
Mimicking us.
Letโs be careful what we teach them.
I was in my head too much.
I was always thinking of what I had to do next.
The washing, the food shopping, the cleaning, the present for that birthday party, that bill that needs to be paid, the message that needs responding toโฆ

They keep us so locked in our heads that we never actually truely enjoy the present moment.

Accountability
There is something to be said about accountability!
Do you love to have an accountability partner?!
I do ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ It really helps me stay on track.
We could choose friends/family or we can invest in support.
For example:
๐๐ป personal trainer
๐๐ป nutritionist
๐๐ป relationship expert
๐๐ป life coach
We invest in these people because they get us the results we desire.
They see our goals and cheer us on to make them happen.
They keep tabs on us and check in.
Without a doubt, I wouldn't have pushed myself on my own, in numerous areas of my life and business without out someone pushing me from the sidelines.
This type of support is everything.
Thanks to my beautiful friend for trialling every diet and fitness regime with me ๐คช

Nobody is coming to rescue you!
Itโs up to you to stand up and use your voice!
๐ฃ You need to use your voice:
โค๏ธIn your relationship.
"We need to work on us!โ
"I have had enough, I can't do this anymore."
๐ซWith your partner, family and friends.
"I need help with the kids."
โCan you please cook tonight?โ
๐คตโโ๏ธWith your employer.
"I want more money because...โ
โIโm struggling with this becauseโฆโ
We may never hearโฆ
"You are so good at your job, you deserve a pay rise.โ
"You look exhausted, I will have the kids for you."
โHey, let me cook for you this week.โ
We can live our lives being upset, angry and resentful or we can use our voice to make the changes!
๐ฃ
Stop putting things off.
Those moles that look suspicious,
That lump in your breast,
That pap-smear you are due to get but never make the appointment for.
I had a scare last week at my gynaecologist appointment.
Iโd had an ultrasound and she was looking at the image.
"Well if its cancer, we will have it early enough to treat it!โ
WHAT!!?!
Thank goodness, I was able to get in straight away, to have a biopsy and find out it was clear from cancer.
But It had me thinking how many of us leave things untreated and leave it too late.
This is your reminder.
Go get those things checked out.

Letting go!
Pick your battles!
This was THE best advice I was given from my maternal health nurse.
I now use it all the time. Is this worth the battle?
Me being a control freak with:๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
๐๐ป what my girls wear
๐๐ป what their bedrooms looked liked
๐๐ป what my kids would say and do around others
These were all causing me more harm than good.
I slowly had to learn more to let the control go.
I would never have let my older 2 daughters go out dressed like my third daughter did!๐
But as they say, happy kids, happy Mummy!
Free yourself from small stuff that does not matter.
You will be so might lighter when you do.

This has to be one of my favourite analogies.
When we are completely depleted and have nothing left, how are we meant to look after our family?
I left it too late. I donโt want you to do the same.
I am so passionate about helping other mums to fill their own cups because I know it works.
Too many times, I remember feeling upset, agitated, angry, frustrated, desperately wanting โme time.โ Desperately needing quiet.
We need to make the time for ourselves, because your family will receive:
โจThe flow-on effect
โจThe butterfly effect
โจ The ripple effect
Whatever you want to call it, it works.
It's not selfish
In fact, itโs selfless.
Your family benefits from a happy Mummy.
I am on a mission to help mums see that they ARE enough.
I want them to see that they need to stop punishing themselves.
That they need to look after themselves and show themselves self compassion.
I want them to fill their own cup and then fill others.
I want them to have joy in their lives.

We need to break the generational chains.
So many of us were brought up by mothers that did nothing for themselves.
They put everyone else first.
They worked full time, cooked, cleaned and ran us kids around.
They never sat down to relax let alone explore their own potential hobbies or interests.
We then learnt from this and now think that this is how it's done. We think this is normal.
But we don't have to live like this.
We do get to do the things that light us up and bring us joy.
The ripple effects of our kids seeing us happy, makes them happy.
We are teaching them to do this for themselves.
Do the things that light you up and if you don't know what that looks like, let's chat.

Social anxiety,
Melbourne Mummas, I hear you!
After the last 2 years we have had where we have been pretty much been confined to our homes, there are so many mums still struggling to get back to socialising.
Going back into the office for work, going back to school pickups and extra mural activities, going back to full on weekends and back to back social eventsโฆ
Its been tough, so many of us would rather just stay home.
But what are we missing out on?
Seeing our friends?
Seeing work colleagues that we love to be around?
Connecting with other Mums?
Going to events?
Itโs so similar to suffering from anxiety or depression.
During my recovery, my psychiatrist would challenge me to make small steps. Baby steps. Go out with friends for a coffee, go out for dinners or to a movie, plan a day out etc
I had to get back to living my life.
I used to love socialising, but yet I found myself full of anxiety trying to avoid ever leaving the house.
But I slowly got better, some days better than others.
Push yourself a little to overcome social anxiety.
Itโs so worth it.
3 ways how to save time and energy!
1. Stop caring what others think about you,
About your parenting, what you wear, where you live, what you do.
Live your life with your choices not anyone elseโs.
2. Stop worrying about things you can not control
World events, other peoples problems, the weather.
We can initially be concerned, but donโt let them consume you especially when you can do nothing about them.
3. Stop comparing yourself to others.
There is only 1 you! We have no idea what others lives are actually really like.
These took me a while to master. Years to be honest.
But if you can free yourself from these things that you can not control, your world WILL change.
Just watch it!
You will have more time and energy to spend on the things you can control and the things love.
Reclaim your Lifeโฆcoming soonโฆ
Some days I feel like I am killing it at life.
Other days I suck.
That is life!
Stop beating yourself up for having bad days!
Woke up late, had a fight with your kids, traffic was crazy, work was tough.
Yep you had a bad day!
Itโs just a day.
Donโt make it mean anything.
Take the lessons and start again tomorrow!
We get to choose if we continue to sit in that negative space or move on.
Reclaim your life....coming soon!

2 years ago I made a promise to myself that I would stop sitting on the sidelines.
Sitting by as my husband and kids have all the fun while I watched on from the sidelines.
Only a few years ago, I was in such a deep dark place, not wanting to be here anymore.
Things needed to change.
Drastically.
It was time to start living my best life.
I mean, we only get one chance, right?
We see it all the time.
People we know passing away suddenly
Or lives changing with devastating diagnosesโฆ
Life is too short and we know it
Yet we still don't live our best lives?

What if you are not depressed, but you are rather simply not doing anything that brings you joy?
I know that clinical depression is real!
I have been there.
Sometimes though, feeling lost, stuck or unmotivated can feel very similar to feeling depressed.
When instead, we may be just running from thing to thing constantly in survival mode, never allowing ourselves time to breath and be in any present moment.
Over time, this becomes exhausting and unrewarding.
What if we actually took time to plan to do something that excites us?
What if doing that โsomethingโ became a habit that began to bring us joy, energy and a sense of purpose!?
What if...????
Try it....
If you are still unsure of what that โsomethingโ is, letโs chat!
Anger and resentment
The more I think about my life, the more I can see just how much time I wasted sitting in anger and resentment.
โI am so tired. I need a break, but I canโt ask anyone.โ (I thought I just had to keep going)
โI just want time to do something for myself.โ
(But my husband works such long hours, he is tired and deserves to have time out more than I do)
โI donโt even know what I want to do, or where I would go if I got time out.โ
(I had no interests or hobbies)
โWhen will I ever feel like me again?โ
(I am not the person I used to be)
โI just want to be happy.โ
(I used to be happy)
I now know that this all comes down to communication.
I should have spoken up.
I should have used my voice.
I should NOT have felt guilty for wanting time out.
This is normal. Being a mummy 24/7 is exhausting.
But it CAN be different.
Letโs normalise asking for help and getting respite.
Itโs the best thing you can do for your mental health.
I want women to say YES to the things that are a little scary.
I want them to say NO to the things that don't actually light them up.
* Yes to going for the job interview
* Yes to that promotion at work
* Yes to starting that new business
* Yes to that date that you were asked on
* Yes to that girls weekend away
* Yes to starting a new course
Even if itโs a little scary, say YES
Prevention is always better than recovering!!

I hated being pregnant.
I was sick literally everyday during all 3 of my pregnancies.๐คฎ And not just in the mornings. All day!
I was constantly tired and I felt like I was dealing with a hangover every, single.
I had to inject blood thinners into my belly everyday due to a blood clotting disorder and I hated it!
I also never had that pregnancy glow that everyone talks about!
I never felt full of energy!
I absolutely hated it.
Tell me did you love it/ hate it?
Stay in your lane.
So many times I have felt defeated, useless, dumb or stupid simply because I haven't been able to do certain things or figure them out.
The more I understand my strengths and weaknesses the better I have become at knowing what I should throw my attention to and what I should just let go of.
I don't like to cook.
I am not a good cook, but my husband is an amazing cook and he enjoys it! Yay!
I am not tech savvy.
I stress and can be easily overwhelmed.
When I need to setup zoom, linktree, website cameras, cords etc the stress just hits me ๐ฐ
Now that I know this about myself, I can outsource tasks out! Thanks Kristin Wishart ๐๐
What are you stressing about that you could outsource?
And when you do outsource, don't make it mean anything!
You're smart!
Stay in your lane, focus your time and pour your energy into the things that you're good at and that light you up.
Friends
You don't need a big circle of friends but you do need a few good ones!
๐ Ones that listen
๐ Ones that cheer you on
๐ Ones that inspire you to be more
๐ Ones that you can cry to and vent to
๐ Ones that you can always rely on
๐ Ones that make you feel good
๐ Ones that you can laugh with.
๐ Ones with which you can be completely yourself
These are your people.
If you have so called "friends" the leave you feeling:
๐
๐ปโโ๏ธ Worse off. Questioning yourself and questioning them
๐
๐ปโโ๏ธ Like you somehow need to impress them
๐
๐ปโโ๏ธ Drained by their negativity
๐
๐ปโโ๏ธ Used. They only see you on their terms
๐
๐ปโโ๏ธ Undervalued. They never listen to you. Itโs all about them.
These are not your people.
๐๐ปโโ๏ธSay goodbye and get new people.
Doing hard things..
I was engaged at the age of 18 to my highschool sweetheart.
We actually got together in primary school and were on and off for years. We spent more years together than apart.
We were going to get married, buy a house, have babies and live happily ever after.
We got engaged at 18 and 20, we were inseparable.
We didnโt wait long before we set a date. We booked the beautiful reception centre, the horse and cart that I so desperately wanted. My dress had been ordered and my bridesmaid dresses were being made. The photographer was set to go.
My fairytale wedding.
Everything was working out perfectly but, I started to have doubts.
I was only 18... was this the right thing to do?
My friend was about to travel the world and I was about to get married.
I started loosing a lot of weight, the stress and anxiety of not knowing what to do and the fear of letting everyone down.
I remember the day I told my mum in tears, then my fiancรฉ. We went through boxes of tissues as the tears flowed.
I loved him so much, he was my best friend, but I knew in my heart that I couldn't go through with the wedding.
I am glad I listened to myself. I was too young. I was still a baby and had so much to learn and do.
So sometimes, the most difficult things you have to do, turn out to be the best decisions for you.
