The Imperfect Mum - Why I love January

Why I love January

The Imperfect Mum

play

01/15/24 • 14 min

I'm back after a bit of a Hiatus (loss in motivation/Christmas overwhelm).
And what better day for my first episode of 2024 than Blue Monday?
Ive decided to make all the new episodes 15 minutes so you can squeeze them in when you get them in during a quiet car ride, if you get the chance to make dinner in peace or when you're working out or going for a walk.
This week is my top tips to reframe January as I have learned to love January.
I used to dread this cold dark month and now it's one of my favourites as I can see it for the calm quiet start to the year where I get to plan all the exciting things I want to do with my year.
This isn't rocket science it's just reframing and I promise even if you get 1 thing from this it could make January a bit moe manageable.
If you are back in a job you hated this month, it is when you have time to plan your escape.
If you are feeling festively plump now is the perfect time to focus on feeling good about yourself because no one wants to go out.
If you enjoy the episode please leave me a review and share the podcast with a Mum who might find it helpful it will help me more than you know.

Join me on a heartfelt and personal episode of the Happy Mum Life podcast, where I share my journey to creating a secure attachment style with my children.

We often hear about the importance of helping our children feel safe and loved to foster a secure attachment, but the truth is, the real work begins with us—the parents.

This episode is all about embracing imperfections and finding happiness as a Mum. It's not about being perfect; it's about being the happiest Mum possible. When we radiate positivity and confidence, our children flourish too.

As role models for our little ones, it's essential to acknowledge that creating a secure attachment starts with our own emotional well-being. Join me as I share my experiences, struggles, and triumphs in modelling a secure and happy outlook in motherhood.

Let's be honest; it's challenging to model feeling secure when we're not, but together, we can navigate this journey and learn valuable tools to create a nurturing and loving environment for our children.

Tune in now and be part of this empowering conversation that celebrates the joy of parenthood and the transformative power of secure attachment.

Subscribe to the Happy Mum Life podcast for more inspiring episodes that remind us that being a happy Mum is the ultimate gift we can give to our children.

Let's take the first step towards a more joyful and fulfilling motherhood journey. See you on the show!

One of the bits I think is often missed on all these gentle parenting sites is that being Gentle isn't just how you have to act when you are with your children. If that's what you think that's probably why you're finding it so fucking hard.
Your inner child needs a much nurturing as your children do and when you start normalising this I promise you will see a whole world of change.
Here are my top tips for beginning the inner child work let me know if they help.

Colette: Mom of 2, Business Owner, and Military Wife.

We talk about her journey through motherhood—the highs, the lows, and why she set up her business because she needed a job that worked around her children. How becoming a mom really helped her to realize she wasn't meant to be doing a 'real job' and how she started doing what she loved and making money out of it.
