Empowering Creative Women To Stop Surviving So They Thrive Personally & Professionally

07/12/2025

Ambition is expensive.
But for mums?
There’s an extra tax no one warns you about.

It’s not money.
It’s capacity.

Every time you sit down to work…
someone needs you.
Something spills.
A form is due.
A sock goes missing.
A child remembers a costume that absolutely needed to be made yesterday.

And while fathers get applause for “helping”…
mothers pay the Ambition Tax daily:

Interrupted focus.
Mental load.
Guilt.
Decision fatigue.
Being pulled in 14 emotional directions before 9am.

And still — you want more.
More impact.
More income.
More expression.
More YOU.

That isn’t selfish.
It’s called identity.
It’s called fire.
It’s called refusing to shrink just because you became a mother.

Here’s what no one tells you:
You don’t have to choose between motherhood and ambition.
You just need a village that actually supports both.

Because when a mum thrives?
Everyone rises with her.

If you’re juggling career AND loneliness in mum-hood follow

There’s a moment in a woman’s life where she stops taking up space.

Not just physically — emotionally too

It shows up in your wardrobe, your posture, your voice, your career choices.

You start choosing clothes that hide your body.
You choose jobs that don’t challenge you.
You choose silence so you don’t risk judgment.
You choose smallness because big feels dangerous.

That’s The Shrinking Woman Syndrome:
The slow, quiet collapse of your expressed self under the weight of burnout, RSD, and the fear of “too muchness.”

And the world applauds you for it.
“You’re so chill.”
“You’re so low-maintenance.”
“You’re so easygoing.”

But inside?
You’re suffocating.

Here’s the truth no one says out loud:
You’re not meant to shrink.
You’re meant to take up space — in your clothes, your work, your ambition, your life.

Your confidence isn’t missing.
It’s buried.
And it’s waiting for you to stop apologising for wanting more.

If you want to live a life you truly feel like you belong in follow

High-performing ADHD women carry a very specific kind of loneliness.

The more capable you are, the more people assume you’re fine.
That you don’t need help.
That you’ll figure it out.
That you’re “strong enough” to cope.

And the truth?
You are strong — but you’re tired of being strong alone.

This is the Lonely High Performer Paradox:
Your competence becomes the reason nobody checks in on you.
Your ambition becomes the reason people think you don’t struggle.
Your success becomes the mask that hides the overwhelm.

You don’t get the support because you LOOK like the person who already has it all together.

But inside?
You’re holding up the whole house with one shaking hand.

If you’ve been feeling isolated, resentful, or invisible — it’s not because you’re too much.
It’s because you’ve been doing too much by yourself.

You deserve a room full of people who get you.
A community that doesn’t need you to translate your brain.
Spaces where high performance doesn’t mean high isolation.

You’re not lonely because you’re failing.
You’re lonely because you’ve outgrown being the strong one in silence.

If you want to feel a part of something, a movement where you can take your mask off fully, a sense of belonging follow
