For a long time, I thought my anger was protecting me.

But eventually I realised it was keeping me connected to a chapter I desperately wanted to move beyond.

This isn't about excusing what happened.

It's not about pretending it didn't hurt.

And it's definitely not about saying your feelings aren't valid.

It's about recognising that your energy is precious.

The more energy we spend replaying the past, the less we have available for reconnecting with ourselves, our dreams, our future and the woman we're becoming.

What if the goal isn't letting go of the anger?

What if the goal is reconnecting with yourself?

This morning, my daughter sat right up close to me on the sofa. She wanted to be near me, and I love that about her.

But I felt something else too. This anxiety that started in the pit of my stomach and worked its way up. A feeling of "I need space, I need to get away."

And then immediately, the guilt. I don't want her to ever think I'm rejecting her.

As a solo mum there's no one to hand it over to. No "your turn, I need ten minutes." It just sits there. The need for space and the guilt about needing it, both at the same time.

If you've ever felt touched out and then guilty for feeling touched out, you're not alone. That's not a failure as a mum. It's just being human.

What does touched out feel like for you? Tell me below. 👇

Obviously I only have one child but the sentiment is the same

This is what I want for my kids

One of my biggest triggers as a solo mum is when Miss 6 is so hard on herself.

She gets so frustrated when she can't do something straight away.

She often won't let me help either, as if asking for or accepting help is a weakness.

It upsets me to see her like that as all I want to do is help her.

Then I realised this is one of my traits being reflected back to me.

I get frustrated when I can't do something straight away.

I often won't ask for or accept help.

I am working on this for both of us.

What can you see in your child being reflected back at you? Leave me a comment.

FOLLOW ME ON INSTA:

Hi lovely people, I have a favour to ask. I really need some more followers on my Insta account. If you are on Insta please head over to and give me a follow. I would appreciate it so much.

Full transparency - I need to hit 200 followers in order to unlock a tool that will help my reach. Ironic isn't it that you have to have a certain amount of followers in order to access a tool that may help you get more followers ;)

Thank you, I only need 30 more
