Why what you focus on grows

Why what you focus on grows

I actually recorded this a few weeks back but have been deep into writing and editing my book for Embrace Fertility so I apologise for the gap in episodes. It has been an epic couple of months and I talk about the benefits of focusing on what we want and why this is beneficial.

You are the reason I left my kids for 3.5 days

You are the reason I left my kids for 3.5 days

Yes you. You dipping into podcasts looking for…......... What are you looking for? The answer? A distraction? Connection?

When it comes down to it we are all just looking for, no scrap that, desperately longing for connection.

Connection with ourselves, our partners, our purpose.

When we don’t have connection we are lost, stunted, diminished.

When we have it we are in powered inspired uplifted.

I made a conscious decision to leave my much longed for children for you.

Feeling free/very drunk

Ok so a very drunk recording made on my way from the hen do I was on on Saturday night to a club in Shoreditch. The hen do packed up at 11 and I decided there was absolutely no way I was going to bed while I had the whole of London at my fingertips.

How do you access your happy place?

How do you access your happy place?

That feeling when you are calm, content, connected. How do you get there? How often do you consciously decide that is where you want to go. Woodland witterings and wonderings in wellingtons following the Hay House writers workshop I’ve just been to with the wonderful Julia Cameron of The Artist’s Way and morning pages game.

How to make your fitness and wellbeing a priority (and why you should)

How to make your fitness and wellbeing a priority (and why you should)

Introducing Heather of ‘Health and Fitness for Mums’ this month’s guest on the More Mojo podcast.

As mums we can easily find ourselves putting everyone else's needs before our own but Heather is here to help us change that.

I asked Heather what the number one thing is that she would like to share it with other mums. Her answer “Essentially how to look after themselves better - doing more exercise, eating healthier all that stuff - it doesn't start with squats and kale, it starts with making space. It starts with letting go of all the superfluous things in their lives that aren't serving them.

Learning to say no to societal pressure to have it all, and yes to their own intuition that knows that the true path to happiness is through a stronger relationship with themselves, their family and their community!”

Yes ladies this is a good one.

In this podcast we talk about mum guilt and what to do about it, why looking after your own health goes waaaay beyond being a better mum, how to get on board with the do less movement and so much more.

You are invited to join Heathet’s free fb community, Heather’s Health Hub, a refuge from the pressure of modern mum life and a place to share ideas, inspiration with like minded mums who want to slow down, re-think their priorities and enjoy life more. Plus you'll find simple home workouts and lifestyle tips to keep your energy up when times get tough.

Worst mum ever!

Worst mum ever!

This week I talk about how nothing external to ourselves can influence how we feel.

Not our circumstances, not what others say or do to us. The only thing that can influence our feelings is our thoughts about what is happening.

This is why you can imagine you will feel a certain way and then when the time comes feel completely different in that moment.

This is why two people can experience exactly the same scenario and feel completely different about it.

I also talk about the whole host of thoughts and emotions I went through when I realised that I had not ordered Jasper’s school uniform in time for the start of term! Worst mum ever!

Breastfeeding support is not just for new mums

Breastfeeding support is not just for new mums

Due to the fact that this is breastfeeding awareness week I’ve invited the lovely Erin Zohrehie to join me on the podcast. We discuss why breastfeeding support is so important, what support is available and how it is not just for new mums.

Erin is an Infant Feeding Specialist and Postnatal Doula working in the greater Berkshire area. She helps new mothers ease into their new role by providing the support they need to initiate and establish breastfeeding. She is passionate about the postnatal period as it is a special and fleeting time.

We asked you, the More Mojo For Mums members, to send in your questions and to share anything you would like to pass on to other breastfeeding mums (new, second time round or extended feeding).

Please share this podcast with your friends who are breastfeeding or planning to.

Why setting intentions is so helpful

Why setting intentions is so helpful

We had a family weekend away in London and before leaving I set myself the following intentions and shared on Instagram and Facebook for accountability.

This podcast is a brief look at how setting these intentions shaped my weekend.

My intention for this weekend is to connect deeply with each member of my family on our trip to London.

I intend to listen intently to my body and take the time to stop and top myself up whenever I am feeling anything less than happy. I give myself permission to take time away from my family as then the time spent together will be a lot more enjoyable.

I intend to walk on Hampstead heath early on Sunday morning and if I’m feeling adventurous swim in the ladies pond.

I intend to really listen to Luke and chat rather than spending ages on my phone.

I intend to get down on Evie’s level and make eye contact with her and talk to her when she is overcome by big emotions.

I intend to see things from Jasper’s point of view and encourage him rather than push him into new experiences.

I intend to journal each day and know that the kids seeing me write is part of how I want them to know me.

Me at 80!

Me at 80!

I just shared a photograph on Instagram of what I might look like when I’m 80. I deliberately chose that photo as I imagine that I will still be wearing pink fluffy ear muffs and vibrant scarfs even in my later years.
Instead of freaking myself out with the fact that time is ticking by I actually love this photograph. I look really like my Gran who I think is one of the most beautiful women in the world. It’s got me thinking about how my children and grandchildren will feel about me. The actions and choices we make every day layer up to become the essence of who we are. What we look like has absolutely no bearing on how the people we love see us.

Are you living each day as you want to be remembered?

I’ve also added mad me at 90 and me at 60 go check them out and share you own in the More Mojo for Mums chat group on Facebook.

Appreciating our children’s fathers

Appreciating our children’s fathers

Today is the perfect day to focus on appreciating what your partner does to support you and your kids.

Especially here in the UK it’s pretty standard to get into the really bad habit of listing all the things our partners don’t do.
Hardly conducive for a happy relationship or encouraging them to support us more.

We’ve all done it. Get a group of women together and before long the conversation is bound to include the oh so tempting ‘let’s list the ways in which my partner is sh*t.’ Let’s flip that on its head and share the things that we appreciate about our partners.

Right now I am very grateful for the fact that Luke is hand drying the bouncy castle with a towel so the kids can bounce while I enjoy the last slice of keto birthday cake.

Calm and Confident Mum Free Workshop this Sunday

Calm and Confident Mum Free Workshop this Sunday

What I want most as a mum is to feel that I am doing the best that I can for my children. I want to feel confident in my actions and my decisions. I want to be able to remain calm and steady so that I can hold the space for my children and teach them by example. For months I’ve been really struggling with keeping my shit together let alone being the calm and confident mother I thought I would be. Since I’m a qualified therapist I thought I would get on and write a hypnosis track to support myself in becoming the mother I know I can be. I am now ready to share this powerful recording with you and I will be running a free workshop this Sunday evening to support you to become a calmer and more confident mum. I have chosen to host this on Sunday evening so we can all go into half term with purpose and confidence! It will be a 30 minute workshop and 15 minutes Q & A so done and dusted by 9pm. Thank you to everyone who completed the questionnaire months ago all of your comments and intentions have been woven into the MP3. As with everything I do I am teaching this as this is what I need to focus on and bring more of in my own life. Join me for the ride.

Just do whatever it takes to feel better now

Just do whatever it takes to feel better now

I’d been in a funk for days but you can’t think your way out of negative thinking you need to take action. Here I talk about how we are not our thoughts and how the situations, people or experiences in our life do not need to change in order for us to feel better right now. Evie (22 months) and a wild pheasant join us on the podcast!

Turn towards what you want

Turn towards what you want

A few weeks back I recorded a podcast entitled ‘I am an angry mummy’ and every time I saw the title on my podcast or saw the image on Instagram it reminded me of all the times I was an angry mummy. Im choosing to look towards what I want so I have set up the screensaver on my phone to be ‘I am a calm and loving mum.’

You have permission

Inspired by Leonie Dawson’s heart stopping blog of the same name. I heard it for the first time a couple of weeks back and it has stayed with me.

Isn't that what we all need as women and mums permission to struggle, permission to be strong, commission to just be?

Recharge before you see red!

Recharge before you see red!

I have set the intention this year to take time to rest and recharge more in order to be a calmer mum rather than being overwhelmed and angry by the end of the day. Realising though that I need to take time away before I feel I need it.
