If you were a fly on the wall in my mentoring sessions, chances are you’d over hear many conversations like this: [student] So…I want to develop a course that helps couples prepare for birth. To teach people all the things they REALLY need to know about birth and postpartum. [me] Amazing. But what’s the ‘grab’? […]

Four years ago I never could have dreamed that I knew enough to teach other people how to make and sell online courses. Four years ago, today I was just an exhausted mum with a good idea that I simply couldn’t wait to create. I sat down in a cleared corner of my office, drank half a […]

I think I have a poltergeist. Though it’s not the usual door-slamming, chilling-gust-of-wind type. This one likes to mess with my technology. I have a knack for asking my husband for help with something tech-related and then the second he comes over to help me, the problem magically disappears. But I swear the dishwasher wouldn’t […]

This past weekend I FINALLY got to meet up with my OG soulful strategy team. I think we talked are grazed for 5 hours straight. No one remembered to take a picture. Though I did take a picture of the platter I made. There’s a bit of Taurus/Virgo in my otherwise VERY Gemini chart somewhere […]

I recently engaged the services of a lawyer (sorry to incite terror so early on, but it will dissipate soon, I promise!). Much to my surprise and delight it was actually kind of fun. My upcoming book, social media detox for mums is pretty heavy on pop culture references. Everything from Baby Shark, Patti Smith, […]

Here is the (sweaty, tired) face of someone who has finalized the edits for her second book, Social media detox for mums. I’ve still got typesetting, legal, promotions, recording for Audible and a million other things to finalise, but I’ll have a cover reveal with a release date soon. Weirdly, this isn’t what I wanted. It’s […]

Something you may not know about me is that I’m rather accident prone. Mind you, I’ve never broken a bone and I’ve never gone to the emergency department or anything. I might have strong bones, but I’m klutzy. If you’re of the generation who remembers the Baby Sitter’s Club books, you might remember there was a character […]

This week, while scrambling for yet another fun summer holiday activity, I suggested to the kids that we could have an ‘ice cream bar’ on the weekend. As in, we put out some ice creams and toppings on the bench and they could build a sundae. My littlest one thought I said ‘ice cream bath’, as in we’re going to eat ice cream in the […]

I got a beehive for Christmas. I have a full bee keeping suit and everything. What I don’t have (yet) is any idea what I’m doing. Oh, and I don’t have bees. What I do have is a bottle of lemongrass oil (Queen bees smell like lemon grass which attracts a colony, who knew?) and a lot of hope. Resisting the urge to go into […]

When I was a little girl, I took eggs from the fridge and hid them in my gigantic Narnia-esque wardrobe. I’m still not sure what possessed my parents to buy antique furniture for a child’s bedroom, but it was a good wardrobe for hiding things in. I wanted the eggs to hatch, of course, and […]

Starting a business is no small feat, especially when you’re balancing the demands of motherhood. This is an experience I’ve come to understand intimately, and it’s something my latest guest on the podcast, Dr Sophie Brock, knows all too well. A motherhood studies sociologist by training, Dr Sophie Brock has charted her own path in […]

A lot of us reach a point in our careers when the need for change becomes undeniable. Caroline Burrows is someone who has gracefully navigated such a transition. I recently had the pleasure of chatting with her on the Mess Behind the Success podcast. She shared how she transformed her passion for trauma therapy into […]

I have complained about those bear cards to my students for more than 10 years now. Yet did I come up with a better option? No Thankfully, my guest on the The Mess Behind the Success podcast this week has done just that! Adelle Sushames is a psychologist, creator, and AUDHDer who invented the spoon savers, spoon thieves and […]

Ever stared at a blank page, an empty screen, or a big idea that feels too overwhelming to start? I have had days and days as an author where I’ve taken a day off paid work to write and the words just don’t come. Or days where I’ve been filming for courses or ads and […]

I grew up in a house where there were lots of books, but not much in the category of spiritual, self-development or ‘woo’. Somewhere along the line, a friend or work colleague must have loaned or gifted my mother a copy of Wayne Dyer’s 1989 book ‘you’ll see it when you believe it’. This must […]

Personally, the most memorable business lessons I’ve learned have come from women who have been open about the messy parts of their business. Failed launches, cash flow issues, investments that didn’t pay off, rejections from publishers. This week I launched The Mess Behind the Success podcast. A place where therapists come together to normalise failure and […]

Mum as You are is my bite sized, unfancy and unplanned podcast. In weekly episodes of 15 minutes or less, I share a roadmap for finding your way back to self-compassion.
I specialise in birth trauma and perinatal mental health. I also write books, create courses & provide clinical supervision & business mentoring.
Gemini, INFJ, & 'Rebel' Tendency Type, I break moulds (& wine glasses) often
As a psychologist + entrepreneur, I’m the ultimate business coach & mentor. I use a compassion-focussed approach to inspire all the “I wonder” questions. Like, “am I actually having any fun with my business and mothering?”, and “do I really need to hustle & push so hard?"
Life is too short for 'meh' marketing emails.
A writer at heart, I want you to feel seen, supported & entertained ;)
Your weekly antidote to self-doubt, overthinking & imposter fears
