Description

In this episode, I’m sharing why I believe it is possible to learn the skill of switching your brain off (even if it’s just for a moment) and why that belief has been one of the most important mindset shifts in my own motherhood journey.

There’s a deeply ingrained story in our culture, that a “good mum” always has a million tabs open in her mind.

Always on. Always thinking. Always holding it all.

But what if that didn’t have to be true?


In this episode, you will learn:

- The invisible rules we’ve absorbed about being a ‘switched on’ mum

- Why “mental load” doesn’t have to mean mental exhaustion

- How belief is the first (and most overlooked) step to change

- The difference between action and undercurrent belief

- How I started rewiring this belief in my own life (and how you can too)

This one might feel a bit stretchy, but it’s one I want you to hear, because this shift has changed how I show up in my day to day life in huge ways. And I believe it’s possible for you, too.
