Not Your Average Mama, York (2025)

And now I’ve fallen down an AI hole 🤣

If it wasn’t for the bangs- which I’m considering having cut in now - it would be very accurate to my life!

Kids attached to my hip, with a takeout cuppa and my vanilla slice for supper 🤣

What a lovely March that was ♥️

A new chapter awaits for me now…
Exciting, slightly scary, but I know it’s right!

If you keep waiting for the perfect time to start something and its scares you, you’ll keep waiting…

Start it now, start on a Tuesday, start in April, start at 38 when you’ve had three careers already, start when you don’t feel ready, bust bloody start! ♥️

This is your sign to make the move

You’re not failing just because your life looks different than you expected…

The best feeling is realising you don’t have to have it all figured out!!

Changing careers, and changing goals, outgrowing things that once felt right—it’s not failure, it’s freedom!
It means you’re open to actually living, not just sticking to a plan that no longer fits.

You get to evolve. You get to rewrite the rules. You get to choose what feels right for you.

And when you stop seeing change as a setback? Life suddenly feels a whole lot lighter!

So go get em girl!
A reminder that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

What if the life you actually want isn’t as out of reach as you think?

We get so caught up in thinking this is just how life is. Rushing. Stressing. Always putting ourselves last! It’s actually ridiculous trying to keep up living the stereotypical mum life…

But what if that’s not true?
What if there’s another way?
What if you just haven’t figured out your path yet?🙊

There are so many ways where you can wake up feeling excited instead of exhausted.
Ways where time doesn’t just slip through your fingers while you’re drowning in responsibility. Ways where you actually feel free—not just surviving, but living.

You just don’t have the tools, or a clue where to start!

I know because I’ve been there. Stuck. Overwhelmed. Thinking I had no other choice. But the truth? You always have a choice. And the best part? You don’t have to figure it out alone.

I help women find their way—one that actually works for them.
So - If you’re sat there thinking ‘I need this,’ drop a comment or DM me ‘CHAT’
And we can talk about what’s possible for you.

Intrigued to know… what’s one thing you’d change about your life right now if you knew it was possible? ⬇️☀️🌙✨

Penny may only be two, but she’s already watching, already learning. We want her to grow up knowing she can take up space, use her voice, and build a life that feels right for her. No dimming her light, no playing it small!

So today, on International Women’s Day, I’m thinking about how everything we do—the chances we take, the dreams we chase, the way we back ourselves—it’s not just for us. It’s for the little ones watching ♥️

Here’s to the women who came before us, the ones standing beside us, and the tiny powerhouses we’re raising to take on the world. May we know them, raise them, and be them ☀️ 🌙 ✨

You know that stuck feeling so well…

The burnout, the exhaustion, the want of change but not knowing where, or how to start, & that constant feeling that no matter how much you do, you’re still drowning in it all?

Because I’ve been there too!
And it’s draining.

And let me tell you, it’s not because you’re failing.
It’s because no one ever taught us how to not live in survival mode.

But the good news? You don’t have to stay there 🙌🏼

There are five sneaky things keeping you trapped in this cycle—and once you start shifting them (even in tiny ways), things start feeling lighter.

If this post speaks to you, you need to get your hands on my ebook—I have a taster freebie and my full paid version lands Friday 7th March 🥳
It’s everything I wish I had when I was at my lowest.

This time 6 months ago I was running on stress, chasing goals that didn’t even feel like mine… but I couldn’t see it at the time….

Fast forward to February - the month where everything began properly falling into place for me 🥹
It’s been a slow-burn epiphany for me, since last year to be honest, but I’ve felt a shift lately!!

For so long, I have been focused on one thing—building a business, chasing goals, doing all the things I thought I was meant to do. But the more I’ve calmed my nervous system over the past 18 months, doing all the personal development and growth work I’ve never even heard of before, the clearer it’s become…
I’m meant to be doing something different…
Something that actually aligns with the life I want, the way I want to help other mums, and the freedom I’ve been craving all along…

And alongside that?
It’s been a really bloody lovely month.

This has not been some big overnight ‘aha’ moment, more like little puzzle pieces slotting together over time. But now? I know I’m on the right track. And that feeling is everything 😭

Here’s to following what actually feels right, even when it takes a hot minute to figure out.

If you’ve been feeling that pull to slow down, reassess, and do things differently—you’re not alone. I see you. And I promise, leaning into the unknown will be the best bloody thing you do!☀️ 🌙 ✨

Is ChatGPT your new drunk bestie too?! 👀

If you’re not here for the chaotic mum life (which I’m attempting to calm), financial freedom, and a slight obsession with a cuppa… wyd?! ☕️

January… the month that lasts three whole months 👀

I swear we’ve been in January for 84 years, and to top it off, half my family decided to be born this month, so I’ve been in a constant state of cake, chaos, and “just one more present to wrap.” 🎂🎁🫠

I can’t really complain though when I added Penny to the January birthday list 🤣

But let’s be real—January always feels like a drag when you’re counting down the days till payday, forcing yourself back into a routine, and trying to shake off the Christmas overwhelm!

This time last year, I felt it all. The back-to-work dread, the exhaustion, the “is this really it?” thoughts creeping in… but this year?
My income isn’t controlled by a payslip, my time isn’t dictated by a boss, and I haven’t once had to ask for time off for all these damn birthdays 🤣

If January has tested you and you’re already wishing for more freedom this year, maybe it’s time to do something about it.
Starting this business was the best decision I ever made—and if you’re curious, my inbox is always open. 💌

Anyone else feel like January has lasted a lifetime?! Drop a 🤯 if you’re with me! ☀️ 🌙 ✨

In or Out?
Here’s What I’m Leaving Behind (and Embracing) in 2025! 👇🏼

2025 is all about living with intention and stepping into my mindful motherhood era!!
I’ve realised that the things I allow into my life either add to my peace or steal it—and I’m done with the things that drain me….

This year, I’m choosing to embrace habits, thoughts, and actions that align with the work-life balance I’ve been craving. Things that lift me up as a mum, a woman, and a person rediscovering who I am. Because let’s face it—burning out, feeling guilty, or comparing myself to strangers online? None of that helps me enjoy the little moments that truly matter!

So, I’m leaving behind the hustle culture, the pressure to be a superhero, and living off cold coffee and rushed mornings. Instead, I’m making space for glimmers, presence, and balance.

2025 is the year of:
✨ Prioritising self-care for mums without guilt.
✨ Building a life that works for my family and me.
✨ Slowing down to enjoy the little moments of motherhood.
✨ Taking imperfect action toward my dreams every single day.

I’m leaving behind the negativity and stepping into a life filled with intentional living, purpose, and freedom.

💬 Drop a comment or DM me—what’s one thing you’re leaving behind or embracing in 2025? Let’s inspire each other to make this year amazing! ☀️ 🌙 ✨

Been feeling the pressure to make this Christmas perfect?

Let me remind you of what really matters… and why I’m choosing to unplug 👇🏼

This is your reminder, mama: you don’t need to panic-buy one more thing.
Your kids won’t remember the mountain of presents under the tree—they’ll remember the laughter, the hugs, the silly traditions, and you.

This year, I’m choosing memories over more. I’ll be stepping away from social media for the next week to fully soak in the magic of Christmas with my family. Because the best gift I can give them isn’t something I can buy—it’s me, fully present, and I think my stars I run a business that allows me to run on automation so apart from replying to anybody, the rest does its own thing.

Mama, give yourself permission to slow down, too. Forget perfection. Just be there, with your family. Because the moments you create together? That’s what they’ll carry with them forever.

Drop a ❤️ if you’re ready to focus on what matters most this Christmas!

Here’s how slowing down changed my November…

November has been an awfully hard month for me for the last six years since my mum died, I’ve tried to keep myself calm this month, and I have learnt that sitting with every emotion will help the feelings process and pass easier, and quicker than letting them build up.
It’s all about prioritising my own mental health so I can be the best version of myself!

From lakeside hikes with Luke to festive adventures with the girls, I’ve felt more present, peaceful, and in tune with what really matters 🧘🏻‍♀️

Taking care of my mind has helped me embrace the simple parts of my life and make clearer decisions for my family and myself.
It’s not always easy, but showing up for me means I can show up better for everyone else.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or overwhelmed, let this be a little nudge—it’s never too late to put yourself first.
Peace, clarity, and better days are waiting for you, too ♥️

What’s one thing you’ve done for yourself this month?

Share one way you’ve prioritised yourself or DM me if you’re looking for small ways to create calm in your own ☀️ 🌙 ✨

Ever felt like your emotions speak for you?

💭 Anybody else feel like when their emotions run high, it’s easy for anxiety and overwhelm to creep in quickly, and for it to come off as rude or abrupt, even though that’s not your intention at all 😭

💭 Letting our emotions speak allows us to process and release them, preventing them from building up and intensifying over time. By sitting with our feelings, we acknowledge and understand them, leading to healthier emotional balance and reducing the risk of overwhelm.

💭 That’s why it’s crucial to educate ourselves and everyone around us about how anxiety manifests. Understanding is the first step towards managing it—so we can calm our nervous systems and focus on the freedom, clarity and calm we deserve.

💭 Let’s work together mamas, to quiet the noise of anxiety and create space for clarity, peace & financial freedom in your life. 🌿

💭 Hit ‘save’ if you need this reminder and share it with someone who needs support on their journey.

Who’s really in charge of your destiny & fate? 👇🏼

You’re in the driver’s seat of your own destiny & fate - it’s YOU!

I’ve never truly understood the depth of that notion, until tonight’s second ‘Let’s go all in’ call with ✨♥️

On our wedding day, Luke (my now husband!) spoke a sentence in his speech that has stuck in my mind for the last five years -
“I don’t believe in fate, but I do believe in forever, and you’re mine” 😭♥️

I never fully understood the phrase but I loved it nonetheless, now I understand it on a deeper level I love it even more!

You can absolutely take charge of your own fate and destiny and manifest ANYTHING into your life, including your soulmate 🥹♥️

Manifestation isn’t just some woo-woo magic—it’s all about aligning your thoughts, energy, and actions with what you really want.

When you focus on your goals with clarity and intention, the universe is like, ‘Okay, I see you!’ ♥️

The truth?
You’re not just sitting back waiting for life to happen—you’re creating it.
Your thoughts become your reality, so why not make them count?

Girl, it’s time to step into the driver’s seat of your life! ✨
Your thoughts, your energy, your actions—they’re shaping your reality every single day.

What if I told you, you have the power to change the reflection, starting today?

Surely if I start believing in abundance, opportunities will flow my way.

If I shift my mindset to gratitude, more good things will come my way.

It’s not magic, it’s manifestation.
Your life mirrors what’s inside of you!

Life feels better when you slow down.

September has been such a required reminder of how much better life feels when you just slow down.
Less rushing, more intention.
More space for what matters most.
