Description

You already know self-care matters. You don’t need another lecture on why. What you need is something that actually works in the season of motherhood you’re in right now.

In this episode, I’m cutting through the excuses and showing you how to prioritise yourself — even when the kids still wake in the night, even when mornings feel chaotic, even when it feels impossible.

I’ll share:

  • The mistake I made with “perfect” morning routines (and why they don’t last)

  • How micro-rituals can give you five minutes of calm that shift your whole day

  • Practical examples you can slot into your life immediately

  • The trick to anchoring rituals so they stick long term

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. It doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. One five-minute ritual, repeated consistently, will change how you feel and how you show up for your family.

Your action step: Choose one ritual this week, anchor it into something you already do, and commit to it daily.

And if you’re ready for support, join me for Back to School Self-Care Week starting Monday — you’ll get daily small steps that actually fit your life, with other mums cheering you on. Join us here.
