More Mojo For Mums

There are the five types of people you need in your support network. Last Wednesday I was really struggling, I have an important decision to make and I was feeling overwhelmed and anxious. I reached out within the More Mojo For Mums Facebook group and the love and support I received from the members just blew me away. Immediately people were replying asking if I was okay, suggesting different ways to look at the situation and people I could talk to for advice. It got me thinking about just how important my online communities are to me. Ever since starting Embrace Fertility I have found having a group of like-minded women on hand to understand and cheer me up invaluable. The 5 people you need So back to my basketball analogy. There are the five types of people you need in your support network. Some of your friends may hit more than one box so it’s not to say these need to be five totally different people or groups. As you read through make a mental note of who you have on call for each. Blog version als

Today is the perfect day to focus on appreciating what your partner does to support you and your kids. Especially here in the UK it’s pretty standard to get into the really bad habit of listing all the things our partners don’t do. Hardly conducive for a happy relationship or encouraging them to support us more. We’ve all done it. Get a group of women together and before long the conversation is bound to include the oh so tempting ‘let’s list the ways in which my partner is sh*t.’ Let’s flip that on its head and share the things that we appreciate about our partners. Right now I am very grateful for the fact that Luke is hand drying the bouncy castle with a towel so the kids can bounce while I enjoy the last slice of keto birthday cake. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/moremojoformums/message

What I want most as a mum is to feel that I am doing the best that I can for my children. I want to feel confident in my actions and my decisions. I want to be able to remain calm and steady so that I can hold the space for my children and teach them by example. For months I’ve been really struggling with keeping my shit together let alone being the calm and confident mother I thought I would be. Since I’m a qualified therapist I thought I would get on and write a hypnosis track to support myself in becoming the mother I know I can be. I am now ready to share this powerful recording with you and I will be running a free workshop this Sunday evening to support you to become a calmer and more confident mum. I have chosen to host this on Sunday evening so we can all go into half term with purpose and confidence! It will be a 30 minute workshop and 15 minutes Q & A so done and dusted by 9pm. Thank you to everyone who completed the questionnaire months ago all of your comments and intentions have been w
