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
