Description

This episode is for the mums who feel like Mother’s Day is more complicated than cards and flowers.

Whether you're carrying grief, trying to create a day that feels like yours, or quietly wondering why it doesn’t feel as joyful as it’s “supposed to,” this is your space to breathe, reflect, and feel seen.

I talk about:

  • Why we often feel let down on Mother’s Day (and how to stop waiting for others to get it right)
  • Navigating big feelings around baby loss, grief, and difficult mother relationships
  • How to set realistic, guilt-free boundaries
  • Creating a day that feels calming and nourishing (without needing it to be perfect)
  • Building a Mother's Day plan that includes you
  • Self-regulation tools for when things feel too much
  • Journal prompts + affirmations to help you feel more grounded and appreciated

I also share: 💛 A personal reflection on what I’m doing for Mother’s Day this year
 💛 A few very real thoughts on partners, asking for what you need, and breaking the cycle for our kids
 💛 A free offer for anyone who has experienced baby loss and wants to talk

Resources mentioned:

🌸 Fundraiser link for Cooling Cot donation after stillbirth – JustGiving
🌸 Book a free baby loss debrief session
🌸 Roxie Nafousi’s confidence meditation
🌸 Meltdown Reset – free 2-minute nervous system tool
