PSA to new mothers (and birthing fathers) - you and your body deserve some joy.

Here's how: Move.

Not with the aim of losing weight or changing anything, but for the aim of just inhabiting your body. Remind yourself what it can do, rather than focus on what it can't do. Use it to express your frustration, your pain, your lonliness, your doubts and fears. Your body may have changed, but that doesn't mean it's any less worthy.

And if you're in North Herts, join Babe Club. It's a weekly silent disco where we do just that. Link is in bio.

It’s more complicated than that…

After my last post, I thought it was important to show a bit of the messy stuff behind the scenes.

These headphones, charging in a tangle on the floor of my office after being hired out by a local playscheme, are a great example.

Running a CIC is mostly chaos, interspersed with feeling occasionally competent.

Some good news!

We’re really pleased to share that Babe Club (the silent disco for new parents) has been awarded £20,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund.

This funding means we can offer Babe Club for free over the next 12 months, supporting new parents and babies at a time when isolation and postnatal mental health difficulties are high.

Huge thanks to National Lottery players for making this possible.🎉

2025 was the year that I learnt a lot of lessons the hard way. WEAR WALKING BOOTS, PEOPLE!

After breaking my ankle I’ve been relying more than ever on the support of others. It’s reminded me how lucky we are to have brilliant Community Interest Companies (CICs) right here in North Herts. Here are a few well worth checking out and supporting:

• Letchworth Garden Shed -Borrow tools and kit instead of buying new, saving money and waste.

- North Herts Pride – https://www.northhertfordshirepride.wordpress.com - Creating safe, inclusive spaces and events for the LGBTQIA+ community.

• Hitchin Creative Connecting local artists, makers, and creatives with the community.

• Creative Chefs CIC –Creative Chefs Fun cooking sessions for children, teaching skills and healthy eating.

• Open Art Box CIC – openartbox.org.uk- Using art workshops to support people living with dementia.

• Herts Vision Loss – hertsvisionloss.org.uk Practical and emotional support for people with sight loss.

• A Little Something North Herts – A Lil Something CIC -a baby bank supporting new parents in need

✨ And my own CIC Babe Club’s silent disco will hopefully be back in November The Sadie Centre— ankle permitting! ✨
