Learning to be a Good Enough Mum- Accepting we cant control everything.

01/29/24 • 15 min

6 years and 2 kids and I dont know how many clients down one thing I can safely say I see again and again that sucks away our joy is trying to control and micromanage everything our children do.
It makes sense when you become a Mum you feel completely out of control so the obvious thing to try and control is our kids. Their sleep, diet, schedules and behaviour can become the benchmark of whether we are succeeding or failing in life.
This episode is about letting go and accepting children like adults are all different and how we can enjoy Motherhood so much more when we let go.

Helping vs enabling what Christmas has brought up in the Therapy room.

This week I'm talking about enabling behaviour. It's going to be one of those topics you might want to switch off from because the thing about therapy is it's not always comfortable, but the reality is nothing amazing happens in our comfort zone. Enabling is about avoiding the uncomfortable avoiding that difficult conversation and doing what we can to keep the peace.
This means accepting the short-term gain but will inevitably lead to long-term pain and before you say no I dont do that listen. We nearly all do and when we break those cycles we can transform our whole life and live more authentically.
This is the hard work we do in Therapy but its the work that breaks generational cycles, ends people pleasing and poor boundaries ruling your life and helps you raise children emotionally intelligent children.
Please let me know what you think and if talking about the therapy side of things was useful or you want more Mum stuff send me a DM or an email with anything you would like me to discuss.

Birth, epidurals and Mum shame

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
