For 1 week only we're making the circle bigger 💜

Motherhood transforms us in ways we never expected.

While many moments are beautiful, it can also feel heavy, confusing and overwhelming.

Your identity shifts, your body feels unfamiliar, your relationships change, and some days it feels like your brain has twenty tabs open at once.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking:

“I wish I had a space where I could be honest, supported, and not judged…”

..you’ve just found it!

The time I rage-quit a mom WhatsApp group...

I was a 1st time mom, deep in the trenches of 3am feeds, nap maths and Googling every single thing.

And then I joined my first mom WhatsApp group.

At first it felt comforting. A little digital village in the middle of a very overwhelming season.

But pretty quickly I noticed how triggered I felt by some of the conversations. Especially the constant talk about cry-it-out.

One day someone dropped a message into the group “warning” new moms not to rock their babies to sleep because it creates bad habits.

Normally I avoid conflict. But I couldn’t let it go.

We went back and forth and it escalated.
And eventually I did what can only be described as a mic-drop exit from the group, saying that new moms shouldn’t trust anyone who tells them to go against their instincts.

I left feeling shaky, but also very clear.

A few moms messaged me privately afterwards.
They said they agreed with me but were too scared to say anything in case they got attacked.
They said they’d miss my voice in the group because they’d found it helpful and thoughtful.

Meanwhile, the original sender kept messaging me privately trying to continue the debate… until I had to block her.

And all I could think was: those poor first-time moms. In the thick of postpartum anxiety. Trying to find their footing. And now being told to question the most natural instincts in the world.

I remember wanting to reach through my phone and say:

You can trust yourself.
You are a good enough mom.

That was the moment the seed was planted. If I ever created a space for moms, it would have to feel psychologically safe.

No provoking arguments.
No bullying.
No constant triggering.
Shared values.
Real conversation.

A place where you can ask questions, learn, and grow, without feeling like you have to constantly defend yourself.

That’s the heart of Brave Mamas.

A space for moms who want to parent with responsiveness, connection and self-trust.

A space where you don’t have to second-guess yourself every time you speak.

Doors are opening on Friday.

If you’ve been craving a safer, more supportive village… we’d love to have you.

💜

Trust your gut Mama 💜

And surround yourself with women who help you feel more confident.

Brave Mamas is opening its doors again soon and we would love to support you as you find your feet through this new chapter.

Watch this space...

It can be a hard truth to swallow, but reality is, not much changes unless you're willing to communicate your needs.

Of course it would be awesome if our partners anticipated and met our needs in the way that we strive to do for them.

But for many reasons (think patriarchy and what we've been taught about gender roles) this just isn't what happens naturally.

In order for change to occur, we must disrupt the status quo and speak up.

But how do we do this without letting our resentment and exhaustion turn it into a fight?

Join our Brave Mamas Online Sharing Circle where we'll be discussing how to communicate authentically to create better connection with our partners.

My first love was complicated.

We were in high school and fell hard and fast.

At first it was exciting. It was every teenage girl's dream to be adored and loved by a sensitive guy with a six pack.

But after a few months, something felt off. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I knew I was exhausted.

And then we had a psychologist come run a workshop at school on how to be real in a relationship.

Without sounding dramatic, this changed my life.

I finally understood what was at the bottom of my discomfort. Our dynamic was classic co-dependence.

What followed was a very tumultuous break up. Which was honestly traumatic for my 16 year old self.

But the gift in this experience, was the realisation that this is what I wanted to do for others.

Not cause break ups obviously 🤦🏼‍♀️ but help create clarity of what's going on beneath the surface of our relationships so that we can consciously choose how to be together. Creating more sustainable, more authentic and more fulfilling relationships.

This is what The Relationship Reset is all about. And today is the very last day that you can sign up to join us.
