Mummy In The Making

As I get ready to return to medicine I have started to realise there is a lot of judgment about the decisions women make about when and how they return to paid work.

For anyone who has experienced this I want to reassure you mums that other peoples judgement and opinions about your journey is about them and not you.

Do not even for a mili second get affected by their words.

What ever decision you make it’s the right one for you and your baby.

And if you change your mind about the decision you’ve made that ok too because we are always evolving and growing. We do not need to stay stuck in a place that’s not working for us.

So for all the mums out there who are feeling a little judged.

Let me say “all mums are working mums”

🥰

Breakfast- porridge 🥣

Love these ikea tops ❤️

🙏

Mummy made healthy potato, cheese and carrot 🥕 tots

Aurora loves daddies mozzarella and tomato panini 🤔 from

Hmmm back to drawing board with my baby food creations

The answer to that question is NO!!!!!

It’s not a trick question, it’s a question that relates to your old programming.

You are now an updated version of what you were.

Your body has done this amazing incredible thing.

It’s grown a little human.

9 months of the most amazing physiological changes that amaze me to this day.

So to all those mamas out there who need to hear this today.

Your body is amazing
Your amazing
It’s not about getting back to your old body
It’s appreciating the body you have now and what amazing things it had done and been through

It’s choosing to look after it and respect it

It’s being the healthiest best version of you

Love and light mamas - no matter where you are in the journey

Last weekend of my transformational coaching diploma. It’s been amazing and Aurora has been amazing hanging out with daddy 9 to 5 ….. this is the last weekend of 3 weekends

It’s been transformational for me and I can’t wait to add these skills to my coaching armamentarium 💪

My attempt at baking granola bars 😄

It’s no secret I have a sweet tooth.

Month 3 postpartum I did one of those midnight Amazon orders - 24 bars of hazelnut milka - I ate all 24 within the month or maybe less. My favourite combo is green tea with my hazelnut milka 😂

Sleep deprived and breastfeeding 🤱 while eating chocolate 😊

Now that I’m a total pro at being sleep deprived and we have now started weaning I thought it’s time to try out my own granola bars to satisfy my sweet tooth.

🙏

My current baby proofing so I can have a shower. Will it contain her 🤔 she has just started mobilising - backwards 🤩

Every Wednesday night I have a webinar for my 2nd life coaching training diploma.

The first I did pre baby, and I could pretty much do a webinar or training when ever I wanted to. Now I have to factor in the little lady ❤️

I love being able to train virtually it’s awesome if I couldn’t have I would have had to wait a lot longer before I was happy to leave her at home and be without her.

Also it’s so wonderful to be able to have her sleeping away in the sling while I learn new things that will help my clients.

Todays 6.30 class with

💪

My favourite way to start the day !!!

Baked beans and egg hoppers!!!!

A combination I have not seen ever!!!!

But Marcus Cope loves it 🤪

As a life coach I do a lot of work helping people change their stories, helping them see that some of stories they have and believe are not even their stories !!!

This is so true when it comes to motherhood!!!

Think about all the stories your hear about being a mum, about raising your children etc from what they eat to how you choose to educate them…. There are a lot of stories knocking around

Which ones are actually yours and ones you truly believe in?

Todays class with

Best way to start the week.

I will never stop being for my rainbow 🌈

Another nursing dress and print I love ❤️ and I love these crawlers

Mummy is tired 🥱

Almost all bedtime routines involve Lenny 😊

I had a c section and I found it really difficult post operatively in terms of pain however, I wanted to be able to carry by baby (I waited 5 years to meet her)

Hence, the baby wearing came in to the equation and allowed me to carry my baby.

I am a total advocate for

For the mummy who needs to hear this today - remember you are enough

Take 5 min for your self and take a breath.

Another great 6.30 am class

Definitely the best way to start the day, if I could go everyday I would.

The first time was tough 🥲 Aurora and I needed a nap afterwards. Also had massive mum guilt for leaving her with daddy. 😞

Now I definitely feel stronger and have much more energy for her.

74kg today!!!!! Thank you Ultimate Fitness Cheshire]

At the end of my pregnancy I was 80kg, when I started with Ultimate Fitness Cheshire] I was 78kg and today I am 74kg

It’s still the heaviest I’ve ever been however i am moving in the right direction. 🥳🥳🥳

Getting started was defo a mindset shift I had to make (practicing what I preach to my clients 🥰)

It was also so so hard to leave Aurora even for 45 min however we have both adapted absolutely fine and it’s practice for me when I return to work after maternity leave.

For my 40th birthday I’m going to be in the best physical shape of my life 💪

Good morning 🌈☀️🌈

It’s another weekend that I’ll be doing my training towards master practitioner- hypnotherapy this weekend.

Aurora will spend the day with daddy 😬
