Have you ever sat in a meeting or looked at your a

Have you ever sat in a meeting or looked at your achievements and thought, "I don’t belong here"? If you have, you’re not alone. Imposter syndrome is a common experience, especially for working mothers, who feel torn between the pressure of being the "ideal worker" and the "perfect mum."

From questioning your worth to feeling disconnected from your work-self after a break, imposter syndrome often thrives in silence. But it’s important to remember: it’s not your fault. The pressures we face are rooted in societal expectations and outdated systems that weren’t designed to support us.

It’s time to challenge these beliefs. You are qualified, capable, and belong in every room you walk into. ✨

Ever feel like you’re juggling it all and still

Ever feel like you’re juggling it all and still can’t catch a break? You’re not alone. 💖

As mothers, we’re constantly told to prioritise self-care, but let’s be real—it’s not always that simple. The truth is, the pressure to meet unrealistic expectations and “do it all” leaves little space for ourselves. We’re told to put everyone else’s needs first and to never ask for help, all while working within systems that weren’t designed to support us.

If you’re struggling to find time for yourself and feel guilty when you do, that’s not your fault. The system makes it hard, and it’s OK to admit that. The real challenge is navigating these pressures while still trying to take care of ourselves.

Don’t give up on caring for yourself—small steps matter. Let’s start the conversation about the change we need. Share how you’re making time for YOU! 💫

Does the pressure to be perfect in your career and

Does the pressure to be perfect in your career and as a mum ever feel like it’s weighing you down? You’re not alone. As working mums, the pressure to excel at everything can be overwhelming. We often think we need to be flawless in both our professional lives and at home, but the truth is perfection isn’t the goal. In fact, it’s a weight we don’t have to carry.

As a leader in your home or at work, your success doesn’t come from being perfect—it comes from being authentic. Letting go of the need to be flawless allows you to show up as your true, whole self, embracing our humanity while staying aligned with your values and wellbeing. When you lead authentically, you create space for growth, connection, and real impact.

Release the pressure to be perfect and embrace the power of imperfection. How are you letting go of perfection and leading with authenticity in your life?

Ever feel like you’re torn between the woman you

Ever feel like you’re torn between the woman you used to be and the mother you are now? 🌿

Last week’s Parents Hub Mum Club session was all about understanding our matrescence - the transformation we go through in motherhood. It changes us in every way - emotionally, psychologically, socially, economically, spiritually, culturally and physically. I also shared two key tools mothers can use to navigate what can be a confusing and disorienting time and enjoyed the honest, open conversations with the group of beautiful women. It was an inspiring time filled with connection, learning, and support. 💖

These conversations remind us that we don’t have to navigate this journey alone. It’s okay to ask for help, and share our challenges.

If you’re a new mum looking for a group like this, check out the offering at the @theparentshub 💫

If you are part of a group or organisation and would like me to come along and share about matrescence, send me a message!

What does success look like for you? 💭

For so long, I measured my success based on whether I was meeting everyone else’s definitions of success. I didn’t even question whether I agreed or even wanted those things. I just thought that was the way things were.

This is social conditioning at work. Throughout our lives, we absorb ideas about what successful people, women and mothers look like. Sometimes these ideas are obvious and overt and sometimes they are much more subtle. Either way, they become part of our subconscious thinking and beliefs.

Perhaps you’re feeling that at the moment. You’re trying to do it all - be the perfect mum, keep your household running like clockwork, achieve big things at work, keep the romance alive in your relationship, stay fit, look great, and so on and so on. It feels like you need to do all these things. That’s success as a modern working mother.

Well, that’s one version of success, but it’s one that often leaves women feeling like they’re not enough and never doing enough.

I’ve learned to question the definitions of success that I feel I ought to pursue to see if it aligns with my values, goals and desires. We don’t have to sign up to the unrealistic expectations that are currently so prevalent in our society. We get to redefine what success means to us at this point in life (it may be different later and it may be different to what you thought success meant earlier in life).

The only definition of success that really matters is YOURS. ✨
