Ever felt like you’re running a one-person circus? You must be a single mum then 🙃 Single mums carry 71% of the mental load and are 3× more likely to face severe mental distress. If the mental load you're carrying feels heavy.... it's because IT IS.

Self care isn't enough to carry this load, you also need:

✨ Community who understands you
✨ Support that goes beyond surface level check ins

And a burning wild desire to set fire to the systems that oppress you 🔥 👩‍❤️‍👩

KNOW YOUR SHADOW 🖤

LOVE ALL OF YOU

It's easy to love the light parts of ourselves... But we are not only joy and laughter and magic.... We are also have anger, sadness, shame regret and many other feelings within us. These are what make us who we are, the parts of us that lurk in the darkness, the parts that we don't want to see are all part of us.

Holding space, compassion and understanding for our shadow selves can allow us to feel complete. Integrating these parts of ourselves into the ones we shine into the light allow us to feel truly seen.... And seeing all of us, the light and the dark, allow us to feel truly loved.

I hope you find the courage to let your shadow into your heart.

❤️

HOT TIP.... Most mums who THINK they are bad mums are normally pretty damn good. Because we WANT to do better, but have a lot of challenges along the way.

This post is not about making excuses for intentional bad behaviour to your kids 🚫

It's about recognising that sometimes have many barriers in their way of thriving. However, even with huge challenges, we can still raise some damn good humans. In fact, my challenges have made me a better mum because they have pushed me to grow more, be creative, and be confident in my abilities as a mum sometimes while storms are raging around me (or within me.. hello 🤮).

When these feelings that you may be a 'bad mum' come up....

❤ Recognise the challenges and the emotions that come with them
🧡 Understand all that you have to overcome
💛 Find ways to accept that you ARE doing your best, with what you have

And most importantly... get the support and knowledge you need to navigate these challenges whether that be with therapy, friends, family, online support groups... or with a coach like me to help you uncover your strengths. You don't have to do this alone. In fact, you shouldn't .. parenting in isolation sucks (zero stars, would NOT recommend).

HOW DO YOU SPEAK TO YOURSELF?

Do you give amazing advice to others? Speak kindly to others? Then give yourself a hard time for ... simply being... human?

Here's a little reminder I give myself when I hear that inner critic rearing its ugly head: Speak to yourself with the same love that you speak to others ❤ take that wise mama voice that nurtures and cares for others... and give it to you too.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Firstly Happy Father's Day to all the dad's who are genuinely trying to be the best they can be for their kids. The ones that show up and be there for their kids. You deserve a day to be celebrated! 🥳

All the rest of them can respectfully f #$@ off.

Controversial... Yes.

BUT if you've ever held a child's hand while they're crying and asking "why is my daddy not here" or "how come my daddy doesn't want to see me on father's day" or "does my daddy love me?" then you'll understand my anger and disappointment for all those children whose fathers have walked away, choosing absence instead of connection.

Yes parenting is hard. Yes there are mountains to move. Yes there may be MANY barriers in the way.... But show up anyway. Show up in any way you can. Our kids need it.

Oh and happy Father's Day to me who is mum and dad to my youngest and hopes that one day the love I give, and everyone around him, will be deep enough to fill the absence of his father.

54 women in Australia have been killed by violence in 2024 😔

Today across Australia, we say NO MORE. Rallies are being held by What Were You Wearing? in multiple locations across Australia to protest against this violence.

Please share with your network, show up at your local rally and have your voice heard across the nation as we ask for changes to occur from government.

I'll be at the Central Coast one today, details of that and other Australian locations listed in attached pictures.

REGULATING YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM

Managing all I do as a single mum is no easy feat. I often have people say "I don't know how you manage" and for a while there... neither did I (plot twist - I was NOT coping). BUT learning to support my nervous system has been a game-changer. I still have stress, and I still sometimes feel overwhelmed/overstimulated (life as a person, raising neurospicy kids) ... but I have the strength and resilience to cope with it now.

Supporting my nervous system helps me to:

✨ Feel connected to myself and the world around me
✨ Be more present as a mum
✨ Deal with the challenges that come with co-parenting
✨ Create breathing space to process challenging emotions
✨ Think clearer and make better decisions
✨ Help manage sensory overload
✨ Be more comfortable and confident within myself

These 6 ways to calm your nervous system can help you to experience these benefits too.

We don't need to calm the storm that life brings us... but we do need to learn how to surf the waves.

How do you support your nervous system? Or which thing do you think will help you most in your life?
