I cried in the car afterwards 🤍

This was taken on a night I never pictured for myself.

Because here's the thing about the quote on this video—discipline doesn't come from a vision board. It comes from having lost yourself once already. 💚

I know what it's like to look in the mirror and not recognise who's standing there. To feel like you've been completely swallowed by everyone else's needs. To put yourself so far down the list you fall off the bottom of it 😔

And I decided I was never going back there. Not for anyone.

That's not motivation. Motivation is a nice feeling that shows up occasionally and leaves when it's cold and dark and you're knackered. This is something harder than that- it's a refusal 💪

Every single class we run comes from that. From knowing exactly how it feels to disappear and being absolutely determined that no parent who walks through our door has to 💛

If you've ever lost yourself in this, you're not weak and you're not behind. You just haven't been given the space back yet.
We've got you 🤍

Nobody tells you that you'll be split in two 🤍

The thing no one warns you about working motherhood: you're never fully in one place.

At work, part of your head is at home. At home, part of your head is on the thing you didn't finish. You end up feeling like you're giving everything 70% and nothing 100% 😫

I had a morning last week where I was answering emails with one hand and doing the school bag with the other and I thought is this it? Is this just what it is now?

And honestly, some days, yes. But here's what I keep coming back to 👇

The guilt isn't evidence that you're doing it badly. It's evidence that you care about both things. People who don't care don't feel torn 💛

I don't have it figured out. I just try to make the hours I do have count properly looking at them, phone down, even if it's only twenty minutes.

Tell me honestly- what does your mum guilt sound like? Mine has a very specific voice that tells me I’m not a good mum 🙁

Drop it below, I think a lot of us need to hear we're not the only one 🤍

✨If you can dream it, you can do it! ✨

We’ve been Highly Commended for Health and Wellbeing Project of the Year at the Suffolk Community Awards 2026 and I’m honestly still lost for words 🥹

When I stood up and accepted the award, imagined all the parents who attend our services standing there with me 🫶 because that’s why we do it: for them.

As a mum of a 2 year old and a 6 month-old, I know first-hand how isolating parenthood can be. I have created a space I wish I’d had: somewhere parents can turn up exactly as they are, with their baby and move in a way that supports their mental health rather than damages it; a community that checks in on you, not judges you 💛

No parent should have to navigate parenthood alone 💙

To every mum and dad who has walked through our doors 👶 Thank you for
bringing your little ones to lay and play beside you, for checking in on each other and for trusting us with your wellbeing. This award is yours. We couldn’t have done any of it without you 🙏♥️

Thank you to Community Action Suffolk, and Suffolk Association of Local Councils for the recognition ✨ Lastly thanks to my
awesome team as you have believed in my dream and helped make it happen 🙏

This is your sign that just because you become a parent doesn’t mean you have to give up on your dreams 💪
