Why I love January
The Imperfect Mum
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.

Raising Happy children- Why my happiness is so important
The Imperfect Mum
06/26/23 • 17 min
Happiness isn't a destination and we are all on this crazy journey of Motherhood together.
This episode is about how meeting my husband was the first time I realised I had any control over my happiness. Why reading the secret is the reason I became a therapist and why Im so passionate about supporting Mums. Things Ive learnt on my self-development journey. Why I'm not willing to accept mediocrity in any area of my life and my biggest goal as a Mum, raising happy confident children.
"You can't choose not to be anxious, but you can choose to be happy."

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.

Navigating the the highs and lows of Maternity leave.
The Imperfect Mum
02/13/24 • 19 min
This week, I explore how to truly enjoy maternity leave. It can be a very lonely time, but if you find your tribe, it really can feel like a holiday.
It's also a reminder that this isn't the time to become an expert at housework. Maternity leave is your time to bond with your baby and recover from the enormous task of growing a child.

Birth, epidurals and Mum shame
The Imperfect Mum
02/06/24 • 18 min
In this episode, I share my experience of birth and explore why we are not allowed to talk more honestly about the realities of birth.
Over 45% of women report having a traumatic birth and a huge part of that is that we are led to believe that because birth is natural it's going to be easy.
If you are struggling with birth trauma or feeling any shame following your birth please join my supportive community. I know my experience of Motherhood was made so much easier by being surrounded by Mums I could be myself with but it took a while to find my tribe. link

Learning to be your authentic self with Faye Ceyhan
The Imperfect Mum
10/09/23 • 33 min
This week I talk to Faye Ceyhan who I honestly believe is one of the most interesting people Ive ever met. She is a hypnobirthing teacher turned business coach who is obsessed with all things magical. We chat about parenting, our own journeys to learning to love who we are and the lives we have created & shamanic drums. Faye has so many tips on managing self-doubt and you will never meet another Faye.
Annoyingly the last 20 mins didn't record so she will have to come back again soon.

All the things I wish I knew before I became a parent.....
The Imperfect Mum
09/18/23 • 35 min
I recorded this a few weeks ago after my Birthday turning 37. I used my Birthday and that feeling that I am far too close to 40 to look back at everything I'm
grateful for and everything Ive learnt in my client work and on my own Motherhood journey I wish someone had told me before I became a Mum.
Share this with any Mums who are in the thick of it or who are about to become Mums.
I hope this gives you some hope on the hard days.
If you are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel The Happy Mum community is what you are looking and I am so excited about what we are working on behind the scenes.
