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.

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
