Parenthood, the ultimate lesson in vulnerability and love.

It’s about more than just “raising a child”—it’s about the beautiful, lifelong stretching of your own heart.

You can’t quite fathom what that love feels like before you experience it… And it will make you move mountains despite the longer to-do lists and days.

Be present today, find some slowness amongst the chaotic schedules and connect. Refill those heart and soul tank today.

We often joke about “mom-brain” as if it’s a deficit, but science tells a different story. It’s actually Matrescence—a transition as massive as adolescence, but with much less sleep. From the start of pregnancy through your baby’s first year, you undergo a complete physical, emotional, and hormonal restructuring.

We prepare for the birth of a baby, but we rarely prepare for the birth of a mother. Give yourself grace and be patient with the process.

If the “overwhelming” feelings start to outweigh the “wonder-filled” ones, please reach out for help. Whether it’s a professional, a support group, or just being honest with a friend, you don’t have to navigate this restructuring in silence.

Get to know me.

I’m Meg.
Occupational therapist. Author. Founder. Wife. Mother of three.

Optimist. Big dreamer.

Before the books, the app, and the businesses, I was a clinical OT sitting on the floor with babies - watching exhausted mums quietly wonder if they were getting it all wrong.

That’s where this began.
Not in a boardroom. On a play mat.

I built my first business because I wanted to make sense of baby sleep.
Not rigid. Not militant. Just understandable. Responsive. Grounded in science.

From there came Baby Sense products. Then Play Sense playgroups.

And now Parent Sense - a digital parenting platform where high-tech meets high-touch, and evidence meets empathy.

But here’s the part people don’t always see.

I am deeply ambitious - and deeply anchored in family.

I’ve built companies while raising three children. Taken investor calls between school runs. Written chapters late at night and woken at 5am to protect my morning calm.

I believe in growth. In impact. In catalytic change.

My love language is Quality Time so I prioritise long lunches, noisy kitchens, and the quiet intimacy of cooking for people I love. It all happens around a table.

Travel energises me- since my youngest is out of home, we are experimenting with remote working in the eternal summer- Provence, Jersey, the Lowveld, London, Dubai. New places stretch my thinking. Movement unlocks perspective.

Padel is my therapy. Competitive, fast, slightly chaotic - not unlike parenting or entrepreneurship.

I love dashboards and data. But I also love story and soul.

Everything I build lives in that tension:
Science + Soul.
Scale + Intimacy.
Technology + Human connection.

My why is simple:

I want parents to feel calm and confident - especially in the first 1,000 days, when everything feels both fragile and enormous.

Because when a parent feels regulated, a baby thrives.
And that ripple changes families.
And families change systems.

I’m not done building.
If anything, I feel like I’m just stepping into my most powerful chapter.

If you’re here, whether for the sleep advice, the strategy, or the story, I’m glad you’re here.

Now tell me something about you.

Are screens ruling your home? I have zero interest in "screen-shaming"—we live in 2026 and digital-free homes are a rarity. But we do need to talk about Technoference.

Technoference is that quiet moment when a device interrupts a connection between people: family members, friends and partners.

When we use a screen as a "digital pacifier" to quiet a tantrum, our little ones miss out on co-regulation—the vital skill of learning to navigate big feelings with us.

How to be the bridge:
• Stay in the room: If the screen is on, stay in the conversation.
• Protect the flow: Keep meals and play zones device-free for everyone.
• Remember: No software can replace your smile.
You are your child’s best "app."

Let the screen be a guest in your home—never the host. 🕊️

How are you handling the "silent partner" in your home this week?

In this special solo episode to kick off 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, I explored what pregnancy really is: a powerful, miraculous, and sometimes messy 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 for a mum and her baby.

This is a 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐞𝐱𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐞 for any expectant mother feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or quietly worried that she's already done something "wrong." Meg unpacks the 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, the incredible changes in your body, and gives you permission to 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭.

Please do share!

Did you know that calming 'prenatal anxiety' is one of the most effective ways to protect your future breastfeeding goals?

We usually focus on the mechanics of breastfeeding, but new research shows your internal body clock may play a hidden role. It turns out your natural rhythm can impact prenatal anxiety, which could be a major (and modifiable) key to breastfeeding success.

The takeaway? A regulated rhythm leads to a regulated nervous system. The study found that "early birds" often experience lower anxiety, creating a ripple effect that supports a longer nursing journey.

This isn't a rule—it’s a tool. As a former night owl, I know shifts are hard, but understanding your biology helps you mother with more intention and less pressure. It’s not just "in your head"—it’s in your rhythm.

Swipe through to see how your daily rhythm protects your peace and your nursing goals. 🕊️

Are you an early bird or a night owl? Do you feel better when you have a good sleep rhythm and wake earlier? Let’s chat below! 👇

If you relate to this then you’re officially in the “Everything Is Too Much” stage of pregnancy.

Ever feel like someone turned the volume up on the entire world? The smell of your husband’s coffee is suddenly an attack, and your favorite cardigan feels like sandpaper.

In honour of Pregnancy Awareness Week, I want to remind you: You aren’t being “difficult.” Your sensory system is simply working overtime to protect your baby.
From building a placenta to doubling your blood volume, your body is a construction site! We want you to prioritise self-care as health-care. When you regulate your senses, you regulate your baby.

Caption: “I am one of those people who likes ‘control’ and keeping the balls in the air. I generally cope well under pressure and from the outside, I am told I look capable, composed, and grounded.

But in every honest story, there are moments when everything feels unexpectedly fragile.

For me, those moments came after the birth of my first and third child. Life as a new mom continued on the surface, but internally something felt ‘off’. My mental health was fragile and I was brittle. At times, the anxiety was overwhelming - intrusive and exhausting. I didn’t feel “depressed” in the way the language of the time described it (Postnatal depression) - I wasn’t sad or withdrawn. I was on edge - alert to the point of depletion, unable to switch off, scanning constantly for what might go wrong.

At the time, I didn’t have the language to describe what I was experiencing. And without language, it’s very hard to ask for help.

Those experiences, however uncomfortable, became some of my greatest teachers. They gave me insight and deep compassion for the mothers I now work with every day…”
