This week I’m reflecting on busyness and its relationship with parental burnout. Or any other kind of burnout for that matter.  If you prefer to listen, I talk about this on the podcast this week.  Just like how we say “good” or “busy” when people ask as how we are, we know these aren’t emotions. They are […]

First up If you prefer to listen or watch, I’ve chatted about this topic on the podcast and YouTube channel. It’s been over 18 months since I quit social media. I’ve been reflecting on where I think social media use fits within discussions about perinatal mental health.  There’s a phrase that’s used in trauma therapy sometimes – “don’t ask […]

I’ve been trying to find some inspiration to feel creative again after what feels like bit of a slump. I ordered a book I heard about called Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. I actually managed to read it less than 24 hours after it arrived. That never happens, yet Parkinson’s Law (or the universe?) granted me the time. I’ve […]

Note this is my opinion and my experience, and what I think will 100% contradict other advice you read or have received – that’s the point of this blog! We need to normalize the contradictions. I simply don’t think there’s one way or a proven formula that will work for everyone. Think about the health […]

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.

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, […]
