Why I love January
The Imperfect Mum
01/15/24 • 14 min
I'm back after a bit of a Hiatus (loss in motivation/Christmas overwhelm).
And what better day for my first episode of 2024 than Blue Monday?
Ive decided to make all the new episodes 15 minutes so you can squeeze them in when you get them in during a quiet car ride, if you get the chance to make dinner in peace or when you're working out or going for a walk.
This week is my top tips to reframe January as I have learned to love January.
I used to dread this cold dark month and now it's one of my favourites as I can see it for the calm quiet start to the year where I get to plan all the exciting things I want to do with my year.
This isn't rocket science it's just reframing and I promise even if you get 1 thing from this it could make January a bit moe manageable.
If you are back in a job you hated this month, it is when you have time to plan your escape.
If you are feeling festively plump now is the perfect time to focus on feeling good about yourself because no one wants to go out.
If you enjoy the episode please leave me a review and share the podcast with a Mum who might find it helpful it will help me more than you know.

Navigating the the highs and lows of Maternity leave.
The Imperfect Mum
02/13/24 • 19 min
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

We chat about parenting, our own journeys to learning to love who we are and the lives we have created & shamanic drums. Faye has so many tips on managing self-doubt and you will never meet another Faye.

All the things I wish I knew before I became a parent.....
The Imperfect Mum
09/18/23 • 35 min
I recorded this a few weeks ago after my Birthday turning 37. I used my Birthday and that feeling that I am far too close to 40 to look back at everything I'm
grateful for and everything Ive learnt in my client work and on my own Motherhood journey I wish someone had told me before I became a Mum.
Share this with any Mums who are in the thick of it or who are about to become Mums.
I hope this gives you some hope on the hard days.

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. Transforming you from worrier to WARRIOR BOSS!
She also has a podcast no rest for the Vivid link
Why Boundaries are the key to Happy healthy Relationships.
The Imperfect Mum
08/08/23 • 32 min
Boundaries is one of my favourite things to talk about and something I have just converted in the Happy Mum course and was so excited to share on the podcast.
Often when we hear boundaries we think of parenting but actually we need healthy boundaries in every area of our lives.
Creating healthy boundaries is such a huge part of self-care and feeling valued.
It's the first step I would advise any burnout Mum to look into and having healthy boundaries are probably the biggest reason I love being a Mum.
So if you want to know more about how I work with my clients and tips to get more comfortable with boundaries this episode is for you.
