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

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.

Colette: Mom of 2, Business Owner, and Military Wife.
We talk about her journey through motherhood—the highs, the lows, and why she set up her business because she needed a job that worked around her children. How becoming a mom really helped her to realize she wasn't meant to be doing a 'real job' and how she started doing what she loved and making money out of it.

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
