When your passion for what you do grows and blooms
Are you a committed but overwhelmed mama?
Do you ever wonder how you are supposed to parent responsively if you’re constantly being pulled in multiple directions at the same time and surrounded by so many different opinions on how to parent properly? 😱
Is it actually possible to consistently and joyfully choose your own parenting values without alienating others or abandoning your needs and desires, or straining your mental health?! 🤯
We bet you’ve promised yourself you’ll be extra patient with your children, learned about validating their emotions, and made space to play with them, only to feel overloaded, under-resourced and maybe even secretly resentful. Or how about the times you’ve committed to doing something positive for yourself, only to discover it doesn’t quite fit with your schedule and so you’ve dropped it? Maybe you told yourself you can come back round to it again when the kids are older. Perhaps you’ve felt so helpless and tired trying to juggle work and chores, relationships and parenting, you’ve gone along with the conventional advice around you. Only to find yourself feeling so guilty about the impact on your kids, that didn’t last long either... Perhaps it seems that nothing has quite worked for you, right?
How do you find the ⏰ TIME ⏰ to meaningfully connect with your kids, to respond compassionately and calmly to their emotions and to feel confident in your parenting choices no matter what other people say to you… if you’re stressed out with the physical demands of providing for them, running your home, managing your budget, maintaining your relationship and friendships, perhaps also caring for elderly parents or working a job, as well as trying to find some well-needed time for you?
How do you justify spending time and money on reward charts, worksheets and journals to help manage your children’s behaviour and emotions if you’re so busy you can’t sit down with them to complete them or implement the techniques they describe? How can you justify trying to change your children’s emotional states when you are spun around in so many circles trying to make everyone happy you’re exhausted and grumpy at the end of the day?
😨 Is the constant battle to parent in an emotionally-aware, responsive way really worth it when you’re already at the end of your patience, energy and confidence?
Can you really be calm and attuned with your kids without being permissive and sacrificing your own needs and well-being?
And why is it so nerve-racking telling other people you want to parent differently, when it feels like such a struggle to stick to your parenting principles on a daily basis?
🤔 When are you supposed to be able to slow down and savour the moments when you’re constantly catching up with paying the bills, picking up the shopping, making appointments and filling up the car, never mind keeping up with work, relationships and extended family?
🤔 And should you just stop everything you’re doing to play with your kids, when your stress levels get worse seeing all the mess? Or should you create a routine for them, when you’re a spontaneous person yourself?
🤔 Are you listening to their emotions and making space for their big feelings? When all along you’re not even sure how to handle your own reactions and stresses?
🤔 What about self-care? How often are you supposed to take a bath or go for a walk or read a book when your kids are clingy or tired or anxious and won’t accept anyone’s help but yours?
STOP. JUST STOP. 🤯
If any (or all) of the above questions run through your head… day after day… We may be able to help.
Hey, it's Marie and Emma here… 👋
And, while we don't claim to know it all, we HAVE helped many overwhelmed mums transform their parenting & sense of self by creating a sustainable step by step action plan. We call them Mumazing Mamas 💪
And yet…
Not that long ago, we were in your shoes.
Those early days, and months and years of brand new parenting were tough.
Both of us have felt like we were taking a step forward in our parenting, only to end up taking three more back. At times, we both felt like we were drowning in overwhelm, and mental and emotional distress.
Anyways, if that's kinda how you feel right now...
Let us give you a road map, so that you stop hitting dead ends or getting lost on back roads, and instead take the fast lane to being the calm and patient, compassionate mama that you can be proud of.
Let us show you how to reclaim your purpose and parent with heart 💪
👇 Here is what we’re proposing. 👇
We’ve had a TON of overwhelmed, under-supported mamas reach out to us asking for our help.
So we had this crazy idea to build a step by step plan to guide you from stress, doubt and frustration to having time, energy and patience for both yourself and your kids in 6 weeks.
No fluff. No messing around, just a simple plan to take you from overwhelmed and under-resourced parent to calm, compassionate and confident mama.
