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 […]

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 […]

I’m starting with the whimsy this week:The other day my daughter’s kindergarten teacher said to me “we all loved your banana”“err…excuse me…?”I totally forgot I drew a silly face on her banana. A gesture that took me 20 seconds apparently caused great delight in the kinder class and everyone got excited about eating their fruit.“It’s […]

I’ve spent the past week trying to get a new veggie garden in. I’d love to show you a finished product, but it’s one of those projects that has its own time frame. When we moved into our house six years ago, I noticed the existing veggie patch was positioned in possibly the worst […]

One of my family members is known for their quirky idioms. While arguably less poetic than “one swallow doesn’t make a summer”, one of my favourites is:“It’s hard to soar with the eagles when you’re working with turkeys”Keeping family and cultural traditions alive with storytelling is important to me. Most of my knowledge of ancestors […]

Between you and me, my brain feels like syrup lately. Emails take longer to answer, writing blogs or sections of texts are taking multiple attempts and I’m finding that I’m walking away from podcast interviews feelings like I didn’t hit my points very well.Sometimes I need reminding of the ‘draw down’ period. As in, post […]

First up, if you’d rather listen to this one? Episode 4 of my new podcast is less than 10 minutes.I was never allowed to watch the Simpsons as a kid. When I was 10 or so we got a new fridge (a Simpson) I drew a picture of the Simpsons family as fridges (hilarious) and proudly […]

I love writing, but I’ve missed chatting. Don’t get me wrong, I loved interviewing guests on the birth trauma training for birth workers podcast, but for this season of life, it was simply becoming too time consuming. So, this second offering is broader in focus, very raw, very brief, minimal fuss and editing – me […]

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 […]

Need a confidence boost? Being able to express your ideas with conviction is a valuable business tool, but in over 10 years of working in my own business now, I can guarantee you this: You are going to have days where all you do is cry because things aren’t going well for whatever reason. I suggest […]

I was talking to Elly Tomkins the other day. We’ve bonded over our shared interests in being Disruptors – women who trained as psychologists but whose businesses don’t fit what people expected of us. We were talking about self-doubt and where it stems from. I can easily identify one my origin stories and thought I’d […]

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 […]

Mum as You Are Podcast
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.
My Services
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.
