Motherhood

Starts With You

Hand up if you’re grappling with being someone’s mum while still trying to find your place in the world

It can be hard to plough through the noise - the insecurities, the opinions, the media - when all you really want is a quiet space to recover, rejoice and revel in the new addition to your life.

I want to convert this little corner of the internet into a space where mothers like me can feel seen, heard and loved. It’s taking a little longer than planned but maybe the journey there is more important than a polished, finished article. So, please enjoy the messy journey as I grow this site into a place that lifts us up and brings us all a little closer together
