I'm here to help light up the darkness, inspire, and help other mums feel seen and less alone through my musings on life, motherhood, and mental health, intertwined with my faith and grief. This is a space for REAL motherhood - the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. Here, I promise to be open, vulnerable, and honest.
Here, you are seen, and you are heard.
“Comparison is the thief of joy.” You all know the saying, or similar quotes like “Run your own race” and “Stay in your own lane”. And no doubt you’ve all either been told or have told yourself to stop comparing yourself to others. But there’s a particular comparison that’s quietly stealing your joy, and it’s not what you think.

I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again, but I'm usually not a fan of change. I'm a creature of habit and as I always say, I only like change if it's good change! But sometimes, you just need a change. Especially when something's not quite right.
Something I’ve noticed every year about this busy season is that I have to really fight to maintain some sort of regular self-care. But I make it a priority because I know that historically, when I let go of my self-care, things usually don’t end well for me. But how do you do self-care when you’re in a busy season? And how do you make sure you do the right type of self-care that will actually fill the right cups?
