Ahhh, I just LOVE the feedback that’s coming in about the Return to Work sessions I’ve been offering 🤩🙌🏻

Returning to work after maternity leave can feel like an understandably tricky time for soooo many reasons 🫣😩

And what I’m hearing is that many of you don’t feel like you’ve got a space that you can reflect on these feelings and think about some of the practical ways that you might support yourself through this period and all it brings with it.

✔️ So if a safe, non-judgemental space is what you’re after - I can offer you that

✔️ If you need some practical tools to help navigate anxiety and overwhelm - I can offer you that

✔️ If you want to feel more supported as you make the big transition back to work - I can offer you that

To find out more about my Return to Work Sessions - DM me the word WORK and let’s chat about what YOU need 💜

Parenting can bring up a lots of *sTuFf* when it comes to your emotions…

Stuff that maybe feels overwhelming, or like it’s out of our control. And maybe it then leaves you feeling bad because you don’t want to be the stressy or shouty parent, and it’s not really your little one’s fault, but in the moment it just all feels too much!

If you relate to this then come and join my Close Friends Story Gang where I’m sharing all the goodies on supporting your emotional wellbeing in early parenting and as you transition back into work.

It can feel like a lot, but you don’t have to be in it on your own 💜

Let me know in the comments what your biggest challenge is when it comes to emotions and parenting, and if you want in to the Close Friends Gang - let me know that too!

This is your reminder to go gentle with yourself as you transition in to parenthood 💜

If I could go back and tell the new mum me anything, it would be to go at your own pace.

I remember on this walk feeling so overwhelmed at how physically hard it felt to just walk around the green by our house.

So hard that I just wanted to cry (let’s be honest, I probably did!)

I felt like my body would never be the same again and honestly, a bit broken.

What I was struggling to hold space for in that moment was compassion for myself and what I’d done just 5 days previously.

Compassion for the ebb and flow of emotions that can leave you feeling like you’re on a rollercoaster for the first few days.

Compassion for the physical effort my body had put in to birth my baby, and that rest and nurture was what it needed.

There’s so much that we don’t see as you make the move into parenthood - but just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, nor does it erase its validity.

So, I’ll say it again, go gentle with yourself, you’re doing big, hard things 💜
