If you have an online business, then you’ve likely had those moments on the kitchen floor, crying into a tub of ice cream, wondering why your course isn’t making the six-figure splash you expected. When I first experienced this back in 2020 with my first online course, birth trauma training for birthworkers, the person who […]

How often are you catching yourself in your own BS beliefs? This morning, I was looking for an old newsletter I’d written a few years ago on the topic of blocking beliefs. It began with: An old chestnut that’s been coming up in mentoring this week is the blocking belief that “I can’t create something […]

Does your website align with your vision? What do I mean by this? Imagine your goal is to reduce your 1:1 therapy (or even phase out of it) by offering lush weekend retreats in a tropical location somewhere.

Who doesn’t love to have a sticky beak into what other people struggle with in business? One of my favourite things about coaching women through setting up a new perinatal business is that we can quickly catch sabotaging. When you’re on your own, you often miss or ignore all the little sneaky things that you’ll […]

What I found interesting was the chance to sit down and say to ourselves, “ok, it’s halfway through the year. What’s not working for me?” Some things not working for me: Scrambling to get to my desk and sit […]

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. To teach people all the things they REALLY need to know about birth and postpartum. [me] Amazing. But what’s the ‘grab’? […]

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 […]

Podcasting can be a wild ride! I’ve run 3 of my own now. Each time it is a beautiful dance between imperfection and passion. And it’s not just about hitting record and hoping for the best. It’s about finding your voice in a world that often tells you to stay quiet. Nobody understands this better […]

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 […]

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
