    Ep 68 | How to deal with something you have no control over

    This episode is inspired by a challenge I faced with my daughter, Ella, and her sudden strike from breastfeeding.

    Feeling overwhelmed by uncontrollable events is something that comes up in motherhood fairly regularly with little ones!  I want you to have some tools in your back pocket for those moments to help you feel more empowered and in control of situations in your life.

    In this episode, you'll discover:


    How to identify the control you have in a situation where you may feel powerless.
    Learn ways to regain control and reduce stress when situations feel overwhelming.
    How to shift your perspective so that you can handle challenges more effectively. .

    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.

    BONUS EP | Mother's Day Pep Talk

    BONUS EP | Mother's Day Pep Talk

    Happy Mother’s Day!

    This pep talk focuses on giving you the space to feel safe to give yourself the recognition you deserve, leading to less need for external validation.

    I wanted to give you access to it today because I think it is super important for us as mothers to regularly take time out to acknowledge ourselves, to speak about how proud we are of ourselves, to give ourselves the credit that we deserve, and to do that in a way that fills our cup.

    This is one of the pep talks that I have recorded and that are available to all of the A Mother's Mind Membership mothers. If you would like to know more, join the waitlist for my membership. Doors will be opening soon.
