In this episode, I’m sharing why I believe it is possible to learn the skill of switching your brain off (even if it’s just for a moment) and why that belief has been one of the most important mindset shifts in my own motherhood journey.
There’s a deeply ingrained story in our culture, that a “good mum” always has a million tabs open in her mind.
Always on. Always thinking. Always holding it all.
But what if that didn’t have to be true?
In this episode, you will learn:
- The invisible rules we’ve absorbed about being a ‘switched on’ mum
- Why “mental load” doesn’t have to mean mental exhaustion
- How belief is the first (and most overlooked) step to change
- The difference between action and undercurrent belief
- How I started rewiring this belief in my own life (and how you can too)
This one might feel a bit stretchy, but it’s one I want you to hear, because this shift has changed how I show up in my day to day life in huge ways. And I believe it’s possible for you, too.
