If you’ve ever had a scary thought and instantly questioned, “What is wrong with me?”, this episode is for you. In today’s deep dive, we’re talking about intrusive thoughts, mum anxiety, and the overwhelm that comes with the mental load — especially when you're juggling toddlers, stress, and not enough sleep.

We explore why these thoughts happen (especially postpartum), how our brains shift into fight-or-flight mode as mums, and what these patterns have to do with survival instincts, overstimulation, and the stories we tell ourselves.

You’ll learn simple mindset tools from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to help you detangle from anxious thoughts, name the inner critic, and create more self-compassion in motherhood. This is your permission slip to stop judging yourself for the way you feel — because you're not broken, you're just overwhelmed.

Whether you’re feeling snappy, overstimulated, or scared by your own thoughts, you are not alone. Let this be your reminder that healing starts with awareness — and that it’s safe to take up space for your feelings.
