✨ EARLY BIRD OFFER ENDS SOON ✨
The most common challenge I find mums come to me for is help with trying to juggle work and family life. The first thing I help them understand is that balance is something they CREATE in their lives, it won’t just happen.
The first step is to break the cycle, take time out to work on yourself and start to build new positive habits. This is exactly what I help busy mums do in my 6 week transformational coaching program starting this December.
Take the first step to:
✅ Creating more time & space in your life so that you wake up full of energy and gratitude, ready to take on the day.
✅ Helping yourself to become fully present with your family, while increasing your productivity and visability at work.
✅ Finding ways to prioritise your own well-being without feeling guilty, and look and feel great in your own skin.
EARLY BIRD OFFER: £240 - ENDS THIS WEEKEND!⏳
Price thereafter: £300
What’s included?
💚 6 intimate group coaching video calls
💚 A one-to-one coaching call with me

It’s been an important lesson for me to learn that balance isn’t something that comes to you, you have to take action to create it.
My new coaching program for busy mums is just that... an opportunity to create the balanced life that you want, in order to give yourself more time and more energy for the things that matter not to you ✨

Raising little people is hard, raising little people while working during a pandemic can be a nightmare 🙈
Do you constantly feel guilty that you're not getting enough quality time with your kids? Wishing that you could feel fully present whether you're working, playing with the kids or relaxing with your partner? Give me a 🙋♀️ if you answered to yes to these.
Believe me, I've been there and am still there many days! You are not alone, this is one the most common challenges I hear from my female clients. I'm sad to say I don't have a magic solution for you but through working with my own coach I found that for me, slowing down during times like these is the best thing that I can do for me and my family.
I can you hear wondering... is she mad?! Slowing down is one of the most difficult things to do as a mum, because you're juggling a hundred balls at any one time and you worry that they'll all come crashing down if you dare slow down 🤹♀️
I've found that when I slow down, I actually manage to savour the moments of joy with my family. My kids notice that I am calmer. I have a clearer head so I get more work done. I learn to properly prioritise, instead of labelling everything as a 'must be done' item and giving myself the impossible task of completing them all in a day ✨✨✨
Yes, it means that sometimes house chores do go on the backburner, and sometimes dinner is just a quick and easy tomato pasta, but I forgive myself for that and different days I prioritise different things.
Most of all, when I slow down, I've found that I manage to drown out those voices of self-doubt in my head so that I don't walk around feeling guilty. It's like I've been given a new pair of lenses that help me see that I am just one human being, doing my utter best to look after my family and live a purposeful life full of moments of joy and love ❤️

How are you feeling on the first day of the winter lockdown?
There is no right or wrong way to process the reality of the situation we are in. Take the time to feel what you feel right now - it's OK to grieve the freedom and connection you have always expected to be there in your life.
When something is taken away from us, our world can feel like a precious vase that's been shattered to pieces. All we want to do is go back to the way things were, but it's impossible. When you feel ready to pick up the pieces, take a deep breath and try to put it back together because that's all we can do. It's really important to accept that the pieces won't quite fit like before and that's OK, those cracks that you can still see are a reminder of your healing and your strength - they become a part of your story and not the end of it 💚
I have put together 5 actions that you can take to look after your well-being during the lockdown this winter. When you feel ready to start picking up the pieces, have a read and try to implement each one into your life slowly over the next month - I genuinely hope it will make a difference in your life. Please share your thoughts in the comments, especially if you have your own ideas that can help others 🙏🏽

For years I struggled to say no. I sacrificed myself for the sake of other people's happiness. I went along with other people's suggestions when I knew I didn't want to.
So many of us, particularly women, really struggle to say that tiny two letter word. From a young age, we're socialised to help and nurture, and put others first.
If you’re one of them, here are a few unhelpful beliefs that we commonly hold...
❌ Belief: "Always follow through on what you've committed to."
✅ Truth: It's OK to cancel plans in order to take care of yourself. Do it in a respectful way and give as much notice as possible. The people who matter will understand.
❌ Belief: "It's selfish to put yourself first."
✅ Truth: It's not being selfish if your cup is already empty! When we set healthy boundaries, we give ourself permission to look after ourselves and in turn we have more energy to give to the relationships that matter to us.
❌ Belief: "If I say no, they'll be offended."
✅ Truth: Ask yourself, do you get offended everytime someone says no to you? Probably not. We tend to have a harshness bias, so we believe others judge us a lot more critically than they actually do.
Start taking these actions to help yourself:
✨ What beliefs are stopping YOU from saying no? Poke holes in them and really challenge their existance.
✨ Give yourself the space to notice when you feel a resistance inside your body. That feeling is your gut telling you to say no. Ask yourself whether it's something that is serving you before you respond.
✨ After tuning into your gut and reflecting on how this serves you, act fast! There's nothing worse then letting things snowball until you're guilted into saying 'Yes' because you don't want to let everyone down at the 11th hour.
By no means have I perfected the art of saying a simple 'No'. However, I'm now able to use it more often and more assertively than ever because I am aware that I am avoiding it, I understand why I am avoiding it and now I actually have some tools in my back pocket to help me be true to myself 🛠💪🤍

Do you ever find, as soon as your head hits the pillow, you suddenly remember a ton of things that you still need to do?
When this happens to me, I feel a heaviness in my chest that stops me being able to get to sleep 🤦♀️
I've always loved a good to do list, but recently I've also started to keep a journal next to my bedside and spend just 5 minutes before bed writing down:
✨ What would make tomorrow great - I try not to list any more than 2 or 3 things that I consider an absolute must
✨ My mantra for tomorrow - this is what I'll say to myself all day to help me get through the day better
✨ Anything else that is bothering or worrying me
I don't always do it, I'm not perfect. But when I do, I feel better knowing that I can go to sleep without anything clogging my mind, and the morning after always turns out super productive! 📝😴💪
Have you tried journaling before bed? Take a moment to slow down in your life and spend a few minutes clearing your mind before bed. You'll not only sleep better, but you'll also be more purposeful each day 💛
