Calm in the Chaos Training and Consultancy

01/01/2025

Are you an overwhelmed mum who just wants to get a handle on everything at home so you feel less stressed, less overwhelmed and able to get a handle on the mental load?

Calm in the Chaos is launching a ‘Done Together’ service for January.

Traditionally Calm in the Chaos has offered parent mentoring, and time and time again mums have identified a missing link in the services they needed - A helping hand to get on top of all the things that are bouncing around in their head.

We understand that sometimes before you can start batch cooking and meal prepping, you need to empty the cupboard under the stairs (for the extra chest freezer or to find your recipe books) Or you can’t hire a cleaner until you get yourself organised as it’s too chaotic to get clean.

The purpose of the Done Together service is to help you offload your brain and to do lists to someone without judgement, with full confidentiality, in a way that is that is trauma informed and ND friendly.

You can use the Done Together service to get a plan together and to start tackling some of the things that are needed doing - we will literally Do It Together.

Spaces are limited during this beta phase.

This week I was at brilliant business retreat day when on the desk I noticed the edition of Cardiff Life magazine with the announcement in that I’m one of the new directors for Single Parents Wellbeing.

I may have kept that one as didn’t already have a physical copy 😁

If anyone is in Wales and a single parent and would like to see what it’s all about head to singleparentswellbeing.com there is also a fb group which is and I thoroughly recommend you go check it out 😍

Single Parents Wellbeing - empowering single parents to get involved and empower other single parents too. We think single parents are superheroes. Get involved, feel part of our growing community and never feel alone.

Calling on all community groups, CICs, charities, housing associations etc who have a base in Cardiff.

After the most fabulous call with Izzy at The Flying Seagull project we officially have the first Welsh Flying Seagull holiday project on the way in February half term (20-25th)

I’m looking to partner with allied organisations who would welcome the most fabulous injection of positivity and play for their children and young people. It’s funded so the commitment would be in the form of getting communication out for attendees and to provide a space for The Flying Seagull project to work their magic.

I’ll be coordinating in my role as director for Single Parents Well-being but hoping that some of the groups I’ve worked with in my business would love to connect as well.

Please share. Tag people who this would interest and let’s make some magic happen in February.

Email me on [email protected] to get the ball rolling!

Info document available I just can’t upload on fb.

For my first in person session since the last lockdown, you can’t get much better than doing activities on the beach! I loved it. Thank you so much to all the families who came along and for Single Parents Wellbeing for organising 💜☀️

How is everyone doing?

I’ve had so many conversations with parents feeling like they’re failing. They’re not! We’re also not able to simultaneously teach, parent, work, and give ourselves time to decompress!

After a full day of training today, I ordered food to be ready to collect on the way home from picking up the 5yr old! Today my self care was realising I didn’t have enough left to think, prep, cook and tidy up. No guilt. No justification. Simple pragmatism.

Self care doesn’t have to be offloading adulting tasks, it can also be something simple. Here are some ideas 💜

I have just found out that yesterday was house plant appreciation day 🪴 who knew?! 😂

Plants are awesome for well-being and I’m surrounded by them at home. The one perk to delivering training on zoom, is that I now tend to have nicer surroundings 🤣

I LOVE my house plants and I’m not ashamed to say I encouraged the 5yr old out of using his tall chair so I could repurpose it as a plant stand!
(It was starting to feel the affects of a tornado child using it!!)

I think it makes an awesome plant stand anyway!

Anyone else repurposed something in the house that people wouldn’t expect? 💜
