    In this episode, I’m helping you understand your mental load and learn how to manage it effectively before it tips into mental exhaustion.

    Ep 69 | The key to making change

    Ep 69 | The key to making change

    In this episode, I discuss embracing change positively and effectively. Change can feel intimidating, but it can also be wonderful. It can be challenging, but it can also bring personal growth and many great opportunities and memories.

    This conversation is especially relevant for mothers navigating the rapid changes that accompany the early years of motherhood.

    In this episode, you'll learn:


    The importance of approaching change without guilt, shame, or a sense of insufficiency.
    Why change shouldn't stem from feelings of guilt or insufficiency.
    Strategies for acknowledging and celebrating successes before making changes.
    How to manage information overload to make informed decisions without feeling overwhelmed.

    This episode is to help you shift your perspective on change and implement it with confidence and kindness.

    Ep 67 | What has been living rent-free in your mind?

    This episode is a reminder not to let your mind be occupied by worries and stresses that don't serve you. 

    This episode is inspired by the one and only, Taylor Swift. I talk about the mental clutter that has been living rent-free in your mind. Just as Tay-Tay shakes it off, I give you the tools you need to get rid of those unwanted thoughts and lighten your mental load.

    In this episode, you'll learn:


    How to recognise what thoughts are taking up space without contributing positively to your well-being.
    How you can clear out these thoughts, giving you a clearer, more focused mental state.
    How to regularly check in on what's taking up space in your mind and decide whether it deserves your energy.

    My girl, Taylor Swift, might not know it, but she's helped frame an important reminder and mindset shift for all of you struggling with a heavy mental load.
