Seeing yourself in the ‘looking glass’ throws a light onto our ‘monkey self’…

What ARE we acting for?

WHO are we acting for? Let’s stop lying to ourselves, everything isn’t perfect.

Everything doesn’t always go right.

I recently released my own Kindle novel!!

🤪🤪🤪

Ealiah Jonas has a devastating past… then she meets her mate…. But they are separated in a crazy adventure with misunderstandings and their blossoming love is tested.

Coming home from a full day’s work, flopping down on the couch…and noticing that washing is still laying around like the lucky sleeping cat;

there are cobwebs hanging from the ceiling like you are the Addams family;

you’ve forgotten to do the groceries 🥕 and your kids are starving and letting you know about it? 😑😑😑

But you’ve still got more to do; and it’s not over until that lady sings…or until you’ve done
🍜dinner,
🛀🏽 bath,
🛌 bed for the kids, AND prepped for tomorrow’s lunches, work needs and possibly said a quick ‘hi’ to the hubby…!

Cue overwhelm!!

But seriously, it’s no wonder we feel we ‘lose’ our identity as mums.

No wonder our own sense of peace & ‘self’ takes such a big hit that we feel like we’ve waved goodbye to ourselves - like we waved at the rubbish truck, then the coffee machine at work, and listened to the Wiggles for years.

🫣I mean, really, who needs us to have a sense of self, anyway?
Doesn’t everyone feel like this?

Women everywhere are feeling the pressure of work, parenting, and giving up our identities so we can become autobots who can do it all…

…but what about when it isn’t working?

What about when you realise you let it go too far, and you’ve totally lost it, with no idea who you are or how to listen to that inner voice anymore?

Re-discovering your Identity and remembering your own worth is crucial to continuing with grace, not burning out; and holding those healthy boundaries around yourself as you interact with your children and everyone else.

Want to rediscover your own identity if you think you’ve lost it? It’s all part of wellbeing, stress management & finding that JOY and peace again.

Let’s do it 💓

Is stress a big thing in your life? Do you feel like you are dealing with it WELL, or IGNORING IT?

Ignoring it didn't go so well for me.

In fact, not so well for my whole family. I was overreacting, and feeling like my head would spin off my shoulders for a hot minute *year or two* there...

I started coaching after this point, but after hitting burnout a few times along the last few years myself, I have learnt a LOT about stress management.

After coaching parents for the last 5 years on their child's emotional wellbeing, completing my Stress Management Coach qualification and seeing more and more mums for their own wellbeing reasons, I have relaunched focusing on the mums; not (as much) the children.

As a teacher, stress coach and busy mum myself, I'm sharing all I have learnt with my audience, and want to share the support with mums and women, that I desperately needed myself.

Jump onto my Youtube Channel for regular videos, or watch your emails to see what is going on on the regular!

-Group Wellbeing Chats once per month (Message me for info! The first one will be in July!)
-Mum 1:1 consultancy
-in-workplace de-stress sessions for better workplace wellbeing
-Weekly in-person group de-stress sessions

I love helping mums feel like they are more equipped for life, their own wellbeing and that of their children. Love to hear from you if you want to grab a 30% off your first coaching call - in fact, love to hear from you anyway.

Are you aware of your expectations on yourself?

Are you expecting yourself to be perfect, or mentally condemning yourself if you make a mistake?

One thing I know is that high expectations can be very, very helpful for increased success in humans!

(being a teacher, a parent and a coach, teaches you that!)

However, high expectations are only healthy and productive if they are achievable. In other words, it’s not very healthy, mentally to strive for things that are completely unachievable for you.

If you have ridiculously high expectations of yourself, you will often set yourself up to fail, but not only that, you have the potential to open yourself up to that negative self talk that can be so damaging to your mental and emotional well-being.

Healthy, challenging and motivating expectations are essential.

I’m a coach who specialises in helping people feel peace and bettering their mental & emotional well-being.

Do you notice your mental patterns?

Imagine you say something you wish you didn’t. Then you get this soul-crushing guilt that sits right in your stomach, souring the taste of your food and your day.

Ugh, we hate that feeling don’t we?

But many of us don’t use this feeling to simply learn and move on. Or apologise and move on.

Many of us end up stuck, feeling guilty and going around and around and around in our mind.

The thing is, we can’t make a change to a mental habits unless we can notice when this is happening.

A practice I get my clients to engage in, involves becoming more aware of a positive and negative thinking habits through the week.
Simply building awareness of how we think is a first step in being able to step away from that guilt and start living in more JOY and FREEDOM - the life we want to live.

How do you react when you do something you wish you didn’t do?

It’s not just all about pushing the needless guilt, fear or negative thoughts away.

We need to intentionally replace them with positive thoughts and truths.

This create what I call a ‘pattern interrupt’ in our thinking, which creates an opportunity for us to make real change.

If you’ve ever heard of Neuroplasticity, and you know all about how the brain can learn, and is continually learning, new things!

But it doesn’t just learn 2+2, a new recipe, or how to do yoga.
As a teacher, I am an expert in understanding how people learn, and how to help people get the most out of their learning time, and remember what they have learnt.

The same applies to Joy! If we want to feel more joy, if we want to know the peace that we can have as Christians, we need to not only know it, but actively pursue it consistently.

Does this mean toxic positivity? No. Never ever, will I say that we should not feel, really feel, our emotions, or our feelings as they come up. In fact, the fact that we hold our emotions in our body and replay those same habits over and over is often a major reason behind while we can’t feel joy very well in the first place.

Seeking joy, and the giver of joy, should be a fundamental of our lives, because then this can become part of moving towards a more positive mental cycle in our lives.

As a well-being coach and a Christian, I help women find more join their lives, in many contexts. To find out more send me a DM xx

How to control your emotions as a woman: 3 Tips you need to know!

Can you tell when your brain is starting to get really overstimulated? For me, it’s when I noticed that I struggle to slow down, and often struggle to get to sleep, or even take the time out during the day when I get a moment.

Some things I do to help me in these moments:

👏 put on some music or a podcast that I like to listen to, but make sure that I lay down and shut my eyes to listen to it. This helps me because it’s a step forward!

⏰ set a timer on my watch for 10 minutes. This really helps because it shows me that it’s been a small amount of time and means that I don’t miss my next deadline. I love my versa for this!!

🌿 grounding myself is something I do regularly. Look around, change the focus and try to become physically present in the world I am in at that moment.

Do you have busy brain like me? What do you do to calm your headspace down when you’re on a roll?

If you are struggling to connect with God, yourself and others, or need to feel more peace, here are some strategies:

1️⃣Get some quiet & a pen & paper and journal five things you are thankful to God for.

2️⃣Think about 2 things that DRAIN YOU, that you can maybe delegate or share the load with someone else, for awhile or forever. Some things are have-to’s, while many actually aren’t.

3️⃣Find out MORE about yourself, what your expectations of God, self and others actually are. How you relate to God has a LOT to do with how your family/parents related to you as a kid, and this outworks massively in how you relate to yourself and others.

Want to live with more freedom & less expectation on yourself, and find more acceptance of the love and peace God has for you? My website link is in bio ➡️➡️

‘Emotional wellbeing is important to our relationships with God and others, and indeed ourselves. If we don’t listen to God and work on our own wellbeing between serving others, we will find our successes are hollow, our laughter is fake, and our connection threads are thin. Let’s focus on con...
