In this episode, I talk to Claire Hill Self belief coach and my new mindset bestie who actually motivated me to start this podcast.
This week we discuss tips and tricks Claire learnt from being a maths teacher to help you feel more productive and start believing you are capable of anything. Being a Mum doesn't have to mean our dreams are put on the back burner and Claire has such inspiring energy which is so helpful when self-doubt starts creeping in.
Claire is a trauma-informed coach who uses her own past experience of losing her father at a young age and becoming a career for her Mother and younger siblings. Along with her experience being an assistant head in a secondary school to support women to dim down their imposter syndrome and power up their self-belief.
Claire started her first business Vivid Wire while on maternity leave with her son 4 years ago. She now runs the Vivid club link a membership for business owners. It is a tribe of Vivid, Brave, Warrior Bosses which embraces a trauma-informed approach, lifts up + empowers you, and boosts your mindset, energy + business.

Why raising secure kids starts with reparenting yourself.
The Imperfect Mum
07/13/23 • 34 min
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.

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.
