"Birth is not only about making babies.

It's about making mothers."

Barbara Katz Rothman

When you had your baby, were you given information about personal development, growth or identity changes? I can't recall being educated in this way. Sure, I was given pamphlets on drinking enough water and resting when the baby rests, but nothing about t...

Do you wonder how you can be so competent and confident in some ways and feel totally incompetent and doubtful in others? That's pretty logical if you're comparing folding washing to flying to the moon, but I mean in day-to-day life. 

I'll give you examples.

I was with a friend in an outdoor restaurant. She was a successful career woman and...

Do you look at others and think, 'how have they got it all together?'

Maybe there was a time you had life worked out and everything was good. You had your mojo happening, relationships felt healthy. You felt healthy! You enjoyed where you were. Life was good.

Then somewhere along the line, you woke up with less passion and more Ughhhh 😩

You may be given a cactus, but you don’t have to sit on it. 

American author Joyce Meyer uses this cactus metaphor when reminding us that being negative during challenging times makes the challenging times more negative. 

This should be logical, but as humans, we do this with other areas of life too. Totally unaware! We make life harder, fr...

Miss 5 was snuggled by my side as we watched a montage of video messages. She looked up smiling and joyful as she had several times before, then her face softened. 'Are you crying?' she asked.

'Yes. Happy tears.'

And they were happy tears. Tears of gratitude and appreciation for the messages people in my life had taken time to share as we c...

There's a lot to say about the value of friendships. Studies even suggest the quality of friendships can positively impact the longevity of a woman's life! And if we look at it from a theoretical viewpoint of human needs, belonging to a tribe IS lifesaving. This is why some children, teens and even adults, will do anything to fit in. They will mo...

The weekend just passed was Mother's Day. Before we dig into a reminder that I think will move you to feeling more empowered, more connected and more at peace, I'd like to acknowledge YOU.

You may have lost your mum or have lost a child.

You may not have the relationship you want with your mum.... or your child.

You might long to be a mum.

Y...

You want to feel good, right?

And you want the people in your life to feel good too. One, it's a nice thing and two, people are friendlier when they're feeling good, so it's a win:win!

As my colleague and I were knee deep in piles of children's books this week - sorting, clearing, re-organising - the topic of personalities came up. You know...

Is 'alignment' the new buzz word and do you have to be meditating on top of a mountain to feel it, 'cause for mums, that's near impossible, right?

In its basic, important-for-mums meaning, alignment is feeling calm, certain, free, non-reactive, clear, purposeful, satisfied or settled. Alignment isn't limited to the feelings I'v...

We've all done it. Some a little more than others 🤫

We've let our children do things we know they shouldn't!

• Giving an instruction and not following through when they don't.
• Making them a different dinner after telling them you wouldn't.
• Letting them do the early morning climb-into-your-bed when you've spent the last week breaking this
