It’s about how to thrive and feel alive when things aren’t perfect — which let’s face it, is pretty much all the time.

It’s full of little notes of truth, forgiveness, self love and abundance, for Mama’s who sometimes feel stuck and frustrated.

 

This project is spurred on by the high’s and low’s of my life in lockdown (23/03/20 to date). Quarantine taught me you’ve got to get on with what you yearn to do (and fear) because life can change drastically in an instant.

I sense the anxiousness and the agony in the air for parents. There is sadness mixed with delight. Enforced time together has come with beautiful discoveries.

Who knew the sadness and stress of this time, the empty diaries, cancelled clubs, postponed birthday parties, home schooling, home working, home everything, could also bring such joy. At the same time, loss of life is very near to us all. How do we navigate this?

And so I write. Affirmations, hope and an untangling of our thoughts - little notes of truth, forgiveness, self love and abundance because you deserve to really live, thrive and flourish.

I love deep conversations. I love helping people figure things out, light their fire within and believe they can. Join the conversation about finding yourself, designing your life, building your dream and living your best life in blog comments or over on Instagram.
