"I would look after myself more but... I DON'T HAVE TIME!" - I get it. We are expected to work like we don't parent and parent like we don't work and what about the never ending life admin? The cooking, the cleaning, the paperwork, the food shop, the washing etc. In 'The Bits In Between' podcast I interview women that inspire me and we lift the lid on their reality... Do they REALLY juggle it all? Do they have any hacks and tips on how they manage their life admin? Do they out source the ironing and if so is worth it? Do they hate life admin as much as I do? And most importantly, how can we support one another with systems and hacks to stream line the bits inbetween our careers and motherhood to enable time for some well earnt selfcare away from the washing basket and ironing pile!Come and say hi over on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/fireflyformula/

    Mothering Yourself, Connecting With Your Cycle & Outsourcing Household Jobs

    Mothering Yourself, Connecting With Your Cycle & Outsourcing Household Jobs

    I loved this chat with Laura and found learning about womanhood in a more holistic and spiritual way truly fascinating! I just wish I had learnt about this sooner as I really believe I'd have understood myself and my emotions many years before it actually all started slotting into place. I loved what she said about how our babies already exist but we have to do inner work, heal passed traumas and mother ourselves before our baby can come to us in physical form! Gosh that was so powerful and emotive. How Laura mentioned the art of surrendering and putting our faith in the universe to deliver what is meant for us was so lovely especially as I think so many of us can feel like innocent control freaks yet sometimes the best thing to do is surrender to the 'what will be will be' mantra. I often say that the bits in between is hard enough without having to analyse and understand our emotions and PMS every month and I truly believe this conversation with Laura has made me connect with myself and my body more than I ever have done before! So looking forward to sharing this beautiful holistic wisdom to my daughtrs when the time is right!
    *Trigger warning* Laura refers to her Ectopic pregnancy within this episode.

    Being Judged & Caring Less

    Being Judged & Caring Less

    I've learnt in recent years how SO many of mine and other womens insecurities are pretty much all centred around judgement and worrying about being judged by others! I've tried to disect it and really understand where this fear comes from and the further into motherhood I go I realise that judgement is natural! How can we avoid being judged? We simply can't!!! So many of us are being robbed of our freedom and joy for fear of something we cannot control or change. We will be judged whether we like it or not and we will judge others too but i've become very at peace with the fact judgement isn't always a bad thing. We can be judged positively just as much as negatively and since starting to live my life and navigate motherhood and becoming prepared and accepting of being judged I feel so free and at home with myself.  The bits in between is hard enough without even more pressure on ourselves to never put a foot wrong - that's a quick way to feel miserable I'm sure of it! So now my youngest is a year old I spent the weekend of her birthday reflecting on my 3.5 years of motherhood and what advice I would give anyone wanting to live a care free life void of fear of judgement... So here are my thoughts and here's to caring less, a hell of a lot less!

    So Many Clothes, Such Little To Wear!!! with The Charlotte Edit

    So Many Clothes, Such Little To Wear!!! with The Charlotte Edit

    I can't pin point the time where dressing myself and it being a daily dose of pleasure turned into a "Eurrrgh I have nothing to wear and I hate everything in my wardrobe" type moment but I can confidently say it happened! We have to dress ourselves day in and day out and if we're parent we have to dress our kids daily too!! But when it comes to 'The Bits In Between' my aim is to take an everyday chore and find a way of turning it around to be something that is enjoyed and looked forward to! Well, I can most definitely say that a few tweaks have been made and I am getting far more joy out of dressing myself everyday and speaking in this episode to Charlotte from The Charlotte Edit has enabled me to beome even more determined to stay creative, buy less clothes, wash my clothes less and to shop from my own wardrobe.

    Charlotte is amazing! Please go and support her:

    Reflecting on: Multitasking, Letting Things Go, & Becoming Less Selfish

    Reflecting on: Multitasking, Letting Things Go, & Becoming Less Selfish

    How are we a quarter of the way through the year already? I have past form that in March/April time my intentions for the year ahead slowly start to go to pot... I become less motivated, less self-aware, less intentional and old habits (that I've tried hard to ditch) come creeping back in! But it's not all doom and gloom, there are a few things so far this year that I'm incredibly proud of too and I figured, if I could mark the end of the first quarter of 2022 with some self reflection I will hold myself accountable for what's been and gone and be ready to receive whatever is coming next!
    So many people just don't subscribe to self development with the attitude of 'I am who I am' and I fully respect that opinion but for me I just can't relate to that notion. I am not changing who I fundamentally am, I want to enhance who I am and become the best, less frazzled and stressed version of who I am so I can handle the bits in between as best as I possibly can!

    I mentioned in the pod I listened to a great podcast about focusing. Here it is - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/228-johann-hari-on-how-to-reclaim-your-attention/id1333552422?i=1000547609183

    Finding Your Coping Mechanism When Life Is Hard with Sophie Belle

    Finding Your Coping Mechanism When Life Is Hard with Sophie Belle

    Speaking to Sophie was not only such a lovely conversation and for me it's felt like the gift that kept on giving! I've had Sophie's words in my mind so often this last week and my breath  awareness has really grown and I actually caught myself mouth breathing the other day and I was convinced I never breathed through my mouth so I soon put that right!!

    I also really loved hearing about Sophie's behind the scenes of the bits in between, I have definitely used the 'house ick' term of phrase since our chat and something she said that really resonated with me was how she often doesn't feel like she is doing anything well and I feel that so often - I think so many modern day women know that feeling!
    Sophie has been so kind to offer the listeners to the podcast £10 off their first month of the Mind You Club or the 6-monthly package. Use the code CARELLE upon checkout and follow the link below to join! Sophie is so passionate about breathework because it has changed her life and it's her go-to when life throws her curveballs and whose life hasn't thrown them a curve ball or too!?
    Please see how you can connect with the lovely Sophie!

    Admitting I Can't Do It All!

    Admitting I Can't Do It All!

    Well well well... this chat got me good and proper! I didn't expect to get so teary talking about this but when those flood gates open you know what happens! It's so important to me to share a true representation of 'the bits in between' so when things aren't going well and I need to check in and reevaluate a few things then that's exactly what I'll do.
    I personally feel so frustrated with the amount of smoke and mirrors out there on social media. So much bending of the truth and I just feel it can become very toxic. On social media I gravitate to the accounts and people that represent honesty, real life and true representation of what it's like to spin so many plates where one day it's all going well and we feel like we have our shi*t together and the next day it all comes tumbling down! It happens to us all right?

    So here's how things have been the last few days and here's an example of that magical moment when you feel like your back is against the ropes and then suddenly things change for the better. Every problem births a solution and I have been reminded that in the midst of a problem the solution is literally just around the corner... A few tears and sleepless nights later of course! 

    Thank you always for your lovely words of encouragement with the podcast. It means so so much. 

    Come and say hi over on Instagram @fireflyformula and please do leave a little review on here if you have a few seconds to spare. Each review really helps with the visibilty of the pod - thank you thank you thank you!

Love that I discovered this podcast. Such a relatable podcast that reflects so many conversations I have with friends and just normalises the struggles of the ‘bits in between’. Thank you!

I love this podcast… it feels like you’re sitting down to have a chat with one of your best friends. The subjects are so refreshingly honest, i find myself having a good chuckle or saying ‘yes Carelle’ out loud. Simply wonderful. Keep doing what you’re doing and Thankyou

An insight in to reality

This podcast is so refreshing and really breaks down those “Instagram filters” that gloss over the reality that is life. It makes me realise I’m not alone. Every week is a great listen and I really look forward to the next episode!
