S4 Ep8: November Life Update - Birthdays, Parenting & Burnout
Description
This week on Up Past Bedtime, I’m giving you my monthly life update; and honestly, it’s been… a lot. Between being sick, juggling solo mum life, and trying to keep up with a wild work month (hi, TikTok Awards), I’ve been stretched in every direction.
I chat about where I’m at with my PMDD and birth control journey, what’s been helping, what hasn’t, and how all of it shows up in day-to-day mum life. I also reflect on Rosie’s birthday, the highs and lows of parenting toddlers, and how screen time can turn the sweetest child into a tiny emotional tornado.
I open up about burnout, the pressure of being “on” for work while still trying to show up as the mum I want to be, and the little sparks of hope I’m holding for a calmer, more fulfilling 2026.
