This week's clip is from a guest interview that I did with author and charted psychologist Suzy Reading where we discuss the importance of pausing and taking restorative action to look after ourselves. 

When our to-do list is getting the better of us our levels of motivation can be at an all-time low. I'm sharing some valuable and effective tools to try that can help boost your motivation when you feel that your to-do list is as long as your arm and leaves you feeling overwhelmed.

Confidence is an inside job and not something that can be bought or comes with a flick of a switch.  I'm sharing my high impact mindset and practical tips to help you cultivate more confidence to show up and create a life you love. 

In this week's episode, I'm sharing some insights on how I manage to have a daily morning routine practice now that I'm a mum to 4 children.  I dive into the importance of starting my day by showing up for myself, how my routine has changed over the years, what it looks like, and the mindset shifts I've had to overcome to make it happen.

There can be so much talk about what motherhood "should" look like and societal expectations, but what is the reality of your motherhood, and what works for you?  I'm diving into letting go of the "shoulds" of motherhood and leaning into your own version of motherhood for more joy, connection, and grounding.

Hands up if perfectionism is getting in the way of achieving your ambitions and goals. 

I’m talking about letting go of perfection to find more joy in this week's episode.

For me, taking messy and imperfect action is where it’s at.

Taking that first messy step (despite how scary it feels) automatically opens the door to flow, expansion, and joyful growth.

Remember you don’t have to be perfect or have to reach a certain milestone to be worthy or successful.

You have everything inside of you to make it happen.

I’m exploring the idea of feeling comfortable with getting uncomfortable, which usually comes up at the point of making a big decision, investing in yourself, or when you’re at a bit of a crossroads in your life.

You always have the option to either REPEAT or EVOLVE. 

Growth often comes at the point of feeling uncomfortable or when things feel hard.

Honestly, when you work through your limiting thoughts to unlock your full potential, it’s never a feeling of regret, but pure expansiveness.

I’m digging into mum guilt this week, which I think you’ll agree we all struggle with at some point in our parenting journey.

With all the “shoulds” and social conditioning it can often feel like you’re getting it wrong or not doing enough.

I’m sharing some top tips on how you can build your resilience to mum guilt and find more joy in motherhood.
