✨I am spinning a lot of plates at the moment. House move, new job, self employed job, studying (or trying too 🫣), business building, emotional kids, birthdays, Christmas, family stuff….I know, many of you will relate.

✨I can pretty much hear some of those plates crashing around me on a daily basis. 😬

✨We take on a lot don’t we, we women, we mums. Pretty much because we have to, it’s life.

✨But, I know I don’t totally loose the plot. I still have my “things” that keep me sane. As I know you will too.

✨Headspace for me is much needed at times like these, and often it is as simple as;

⏰Take 5 minutes
📝grab a pen and paper
✍️write down the tasks, what need doing, make it visual
🧠Get it out of my head, release that burden onto paper.

✨I call this my “unpacking”.

✨I can’t tell you how much that helps me, I feel the fog lift and weight off my shoulders.

✨But why don’t I do it all the time? Half the time my head is functioning with so much, I literally just forget it’s an option!

✨So, if you are like me - take this as a little reminder to try it too. Get it out of your head. Maybe talk everything through, share what’s festering away that needs unpacking.

✨I have got plans for a small group of you too;
time to “unpack”,
sort out,
plan ahead.

✨If you want in - drop me a message & I will add you to my list! ❤️

✨Over 4 years ago, when my youngest was a baby I had the usual hair loss after pregnancy as my hormones adapted.

✨I waited a year for it to grow back as it usually did….nothing.

✨Then a year or so later…hair loss.

✨It’s now rapid. I have the widows peak to prove it 😳

✨I am doing the best impression of Chewbacca at the moment. Covered in hair, scraping it off me 😢

✨This is another double whammy of having children later in life when you are just on the edge of perimenopause.

✨I’m nourishing my body with good food, supplements to keep the hair I have strong and healthy.

✨And I hear a lot about pumpkin seed oil capsules of late - anyone tried it?

✨I am sure I am not the only one, so any recommendations? Please share below ⬇️

✨This might be a little controversial but I am not a fan of “imposter syndrome”.

✨I think it’s yet another label society have thrown at normal thought processes, normal reactions to situations that cause quite rightly cause us discomfort & doubt.

✨You are stepping into something different, something new. “O ohhh!” says your brain, “I’m not keen on this. It’s new, it’s beyond our comfort zone! How stupid of us to think we could do it…quick, plant the doubt! We need to get us out of here!”

✨That’s what’s going on. A situation that stretches you? Feels hard, uncomfortable? Not sure if you can do it?

✨Signs of a well functioning brain in my eyes.

✨Feeling you are “suffering from imposter syndrome” is quite a disabling place to be. You are on the back foot straight away.

✨I would love to know your thoughts on the term “Imposter Syndrome” - feel free to disagree, I’m all ears ⬇️

✨Sick of the health & wellbeing jargon flying around social media?

✨Half the time it sounds dramatic enough to be a Netflix series.

✨The jargon puts people off, puts me off!

✨So I’ve broken it all down — no fluff, no fear-mongering, just real explanations of what these buzzwords actually mean (and what they definitely don’t).

✨Swipe through for the translations you wish someone had given you ages ago 👉

💙 It’s been at least 12 years since I started my “blue bottle” journey, originally to get my body in its best shape for IVF.

💙After learning about the impact all the harmful rubbish I had been putting on my skin for years & years - & none of it cheap, may I add - was having, I steered right over to Neals Yard after doing my research.

💙 And I am a smell-a-holic, what can I say! NYRemedies fuels my addiction, everything smells divine.

💙So, cleaner + organic + ethical + value = a happier & healthier me (with smoother skin thrown in too!)

💙 I use it in my reflexology treatments also, only the best 😘

💙 If you want to try something different, something that supports a healthier lifestyle then now is a great time with the Black Friday sale.

✨Motivation is just not always enough to get me through.

✨ Some days I am on it! Motivated, proactive, a work horse.

✨Then some days I am just tired of it all. Working hard for no obvious gains, no one on the same page as me, being pulled from all directions, feeling physically the same as I did a month ago.

✨For me this is with
business,
with my health goals,
with my house and home aspirations, housework…all of it.

✨I just have to remind my self that motivation isn’t always there, but just put one foot in front of the other and do what I feel most capable of on that day.

✨Moving forward a little bit is better than going backwards or staying the same.

✨I no longer rely on motivation to get things done. Sometimes we have to do hard things when we are just not up for it.

✨I am not a fan of the whole, “I am giving you permission to stop feeling guilty etc etc…” .

✨You give yourself permission, you don’t need someone you hardly know telling you it’s ok 🫢

✨But what I will say is what helps me on those days/weeks! If it helps you too, great. If not, I trust you will find your own way;

🔸Tell myself, “do it anyway. Even if it’s half an effort”. I tell myself that motivation isn’t the be all and end all.

🔸Ask my self, “what is the one thing that needs my attention today, just the one” (Thankyou )

🔸Tell a good friend or my hubby what I need to do, then I get accountable. Nagging pees me off, but it also kicks me up the backside.

🔸Remind myself of the outcome I am aiming for, the goal I visualise.

🔸A big one for me, remind myself that “I do hard things, I have been through hard times, I am more than able to get through this lull”.

✨To anyone else feeling the same, hello there 😘

🎃 Are you in the Halloween spirit yet?

🎃My 7 year old dragged us there on October 1st. “No entry signs” and witches faces have been greeting us at the front door for weeks 😂

🎃Any how…bobbing apples was my little reminder of a small but mighty step you can take towards a healthier and cleaner lifestyle.

‼️Rinse and soak your fruit and veg.

🎃 Bicarbonate of soda, white vinegar, topped up with water. 15 mins, drain & rinse. Done.

🎃Why?

🎃The chemicals used to preserve food and keep bugs away are nasty. Our body is overloaded as it is.

🎃Chronic illness & hormone disruption are typical side effects.

🎃Check out “the Dirty Dozen” - the top 12 that are most contaminated.

🎃Just be sure to remove the vinegar + bicarbonate combo before the kids go bobbing 🫣🫢

✨I really enjoyed that time of life.

✨Regular talks at Mamas & Papas events, 1-1’s, groups. Met some gorgeous people through it, some I am still friends with today.

✨I did my best to make it as non-hippy as possible. Plenty of neuroscience & biology in it, yet people still believed I was teaching some weird and whacky way to give birth 🫣

✨I did my best to promote the power in hypno birthing; that it was about making informed decisions, remaining calm, working with the body.

✨If you ended up with the birth you fully desired, amazing! And if not, you felt in control and able to manage the difficulties that may have come your way (and not left traumatised by birth).

✨Many reasons why I slowly stepped away from hypnobirthing;

👶 I became a busier mum and evening sessions for couples was hard to fit in.

❓I had my own challenges with fertility, pregnancy & birth with my third child. I felt I had a lot to process before I could go back to teaching (same with the fertility coaching I trained in)

😔There were quite a few conflicts in the hypnobirthing professional background for a while. I didn’t like it, it went sour for me.

✨I’m not sure how the hypnobirthing world is doing right now, it feels a long time ago for me. And I’m pretty far removed from it.

✨But I am forever grateful for;
* the skills I learnt for teaching,
* for understanding the power of the mind over our body,
* for meeting wonderful people and being taught by some incredible ladies (hypno and the 3-step rewind technique for trauma)

✨How life changes, hey?

✨The pausing while you find that simple, every day word on the tip of your tongue.

✨The confusion why you can't work out how to plan your day because you have more than 2 things going on.

✨Forgetting their birthday despite reminding everyone else in your family “don't forget it’s their birthday on Friday!”

✨Wondering why the toilet roll has been put in the knicker drawer.

✨Confusion, embarrassment, knocked confidence, worry, fear….
