Magical Summer: Tips and Tools to Reduce Overwhelm and Embrace Joy

07/05/24 • 17 min

"I don't remember Summer holidays as a time of joy or laughter. I remember my Mum being really stressed, juggling so much and putting us in whatever club had space. Like many, my Mum found having young children really challenging. As a Mum who is determined to break cycles, I know that’s not how I want to feel, nor how I want my children to feel—as burdens who make my life hard.

Let’s be honest, we are going to be stretched thinner over Summer. One thing I know for sure is that Summer will make me even more grateful for how fortunate my kids are to have such an amazing school and free education. But with the right support and strategies, my goal is to create a Summer that not only my kids love but I do too. I hate that post that says we only have 18 Summers, but we do, and I want my kids to remember me as a Mum who was fun, laughed a lot, and just loved being their Mum.

Join me as I share a few tips on how I'm going to make that happen. Tune in for practical strategies, fun ideas, and heartfelt insights to create a magical Summer that your whole family will cherish."

My top tips to make your Maternity leave magical.

This week on the podcast I share my tips to start enjoying maternity. I know having a new baby is a lot but it can also be so much fun, I loved my first Matrenity leave. Second time round not so much because I couldn't t do any of these things as it was lockdown.
You dont have to be on maternity to get value from this episode if you are really struggling and not getting any time to yourself I share how I still made time for me, my friends, family, my relationships and even studying because I new as soon as I became a Mum I needed to leave my job and start working for myself.
I would like to caveat I had a very easy baby and all babies are different, but if you do have a baby who cries a lot or doesnt sleep you dont just have to suffer alone and accept that's how motherhood feels.
When we feel calmer and happier our children get to feel that and anything you can do to make life feel less overwhelming will only benefit them.
