In the last blog post, we looked at how you could reflect on the last year. If you haven’t followed the step-by-step guide in that, then I would suggest you do that first before reading this blog post. The reason why reflection is so important is because it helps guide you in setting your goals for the following year.

You may have been surprised by some of the scores you gave to areas of your life. Without doing that work, you may not have recognised the areas which need more attention and focus to get you closer to your ideal next year. Take a moment now to review those scores and decide on ...

How has this year gone for you? Did it go too quickly for you, or does it seem to have dragged? Does it feel like a successful one or were you constantly battling obstacles? Either way you probably haven’t realised quite how much you have accomplished as a mumpreneur, a mother, a partner, a friend, an individual. I can guarantee it is more than you think.

Reflecting on your year gives you the opportunity to acknowledge those achievements and to learn from things that haven’t gone so well. In this guide, we take you through it, step-by-step.

What Have Been The Highs And Lows?

What goals did ...

How confident are you in yourself and your abilities? Do you believe that you can have the life you want and achieve whatever you want?

In the last blog post, we looked at how you could free yourself from expectations and start living in a way that is more authentic so you could build your self-esteem and confidence. In this post, I want to share with you a few ways in which you can start building your confidence, so you realise just how limitless you are.

Keep Doing It

It sounds simple and might not feel that way at first. However, when you first start doing something new or doing it diff...

If you read our newsletter at the beginning of this month, you will know that in order to develop your self-esteem and self-assurance, you need to break free from the opinions and expectations of others and instead live in a way that is authentic to you. Knowing what is and isn’t right for you and your family, however, is not always easy to determine. This blog post will help you to start that journey with five easy steps.

1. Recognise Your Uniqueness

There is little point in comparing yourself to others or living by their rules and expectations when you and your family are unique. You have ...

The last blog post looked at ways in which you can discover who you really are. But what’s next? How can it help you to achieve inner peace and the life you desire? As ever, you need to take action. Knowledge is of no use unless it’s implemented. Once you understand who you are, it’s time to start celebrating your unique and authentic self. The best way to do this is by living as that person rather than the character you were trying to be. Here are 3 ways on which you can start doing that.

1. Check In With Your Values

Recognising your values are an important step to discovering more about t...

It’s obvious that if we go through life trying to be someone we’re not, we’re never going to find true happiness. If you want to find the path to inner peace, you must identify who you really are and live your life in harmony with that. Otherwise, you’re simply living a lie.

But as mums and mumpreneurs, “who you are” can get a little lost. There’s always that dreaded moment when someone dares to ask you about yourself or what hobbies you have, and you can’t see beyond the mum duties that consume all your waking hours and some of those that you sleep too!

It can leave you with a feeling of sa...

In last month’s blog post, we looked at understanding your fears a little better. Now it’s time to discover ways of coping with fear and how to push past it in a safe environment.

As we learned, fear is a primal instinct to keep us safe, it is not meant to stop us from moving forward in life. The pressures of modern life and social media have exacerbated fears that normally live on a much lower fear level. Learning to differentiate between the fears that are keeping us safe and those that are holding us back, can take time. Here are some of our favourite ways to start overcoming those fears....

To reach your full potential you need to overcome the fears that are holding you back and this is easiest when you understand what they are, where they come from and why. What are your biggest fears, as a woman, a partner, a mother, a businesswoman, a daughter, a sister, a friend? There are fears that go with each of the roles we play in our lives. But why? What purpose do they serve?

We aren’t the only species that suffers with fear; every living animal does. The fight, flight, freeze response is rich within all of us. Even plants and trees send signals to each other under the soil to warn o...

‘Mum guilt’ effects every mother, whether you’re pregnant or your child is 40, you never stop worrying about if you made the right choices or if they’re making the right choices. But just because it’s normally a part of motherhood, doesn’t mean you should allow it to consume you or take over your thoughts. Letting that guilt rule your life is not healthy so let’s look at some ways you can combat it.

Ask Yourself Why You Do Something

There are reasons for the decisions and choices you make. For example, if your guilt stems from going to work, remind yourself why you do it and what benefits i...

Guilt – what is it? Why do we feel it? Guilt, by definition, is a feeling of unhappiness when you do something wrong, that may upset or hurt another person. It is a feeling we have all had right from being young but as we grow our guilt changes, we feel less guilty about pinching a biscuit from the plate and more guilty about our actions around others.

As a mother it spirals into a guilt only a mother can comprehend – you second guess every decision you make and every action you take, and the feelings of guilt are never far away. It is perfectly normal to feel guilty. You are the same as ever...
