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!

Welcome to the Happy Mum Life Podcast: Embrace Imperfections & Find Joy in Parenthood
This week's episode of Happy Mum is a bit of a brain dump into the realities of parenthood and embracing the beauty of imperfection.
As parents, we often face overwhelming anxiety due to societal expectations of perfectionism.
In this episode I explore how perfectionism can lead to significant anxiety, especially as life gets busier after becoming a parent. But here's the secret – you don't have to be perfect! I share valuable tips to help you rediscover joy in your parenting journey.
Join me for a dose of inspiration and practical advice to embrace the messy and magical moments of being a Mum.
Remember, being a happy Mum is what truly matters, and it's okay to make mistakes along the way. Let's celebrate the joy of parenting and find contentment in being the best version of ourselves, not the perfect one.
Say goodbye to perfectionism and hello to a more joyful and authentic Mum life!
See you on the Happy Mum podcast! 🎉😄💖

Magical Summer: Tips and Tools to Reduce Overwhelm and Embrace Joy
The Imperfect Mum
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."
