Big, uncomfortable feelings don't make you a bad mother.

Giving yourself permission to feel resentful, or touched out, or simply over it — without the shame spiral that usually follows — is the healthier path.

This post is your permission slip.

Big, uncomfortable feelings don't make you a bad mother. Here's why giving yourself permission to feel touched out or resentful is actually the healthier path.

Joy doesn’t have to be loud.

Let’s be honest — parenting is already overstimulating enough.

There are days when what we crave most isn’t excitement.
It’s quiet.
Calm.
A moment to breathe and think.

In those moments, joy doesn’t look like glitter-filled dance parties or big belly laughs.

It looks softer than that.

A shared glance across the room.
A quiet cuddle.
A bedtime routine that gently holds the day together.

This episode is about reframing joy for the overwhelmed, sleep-deprived parent.

Because those small grounding moments of joy?

They’re not just valid.
They’re vital.

And I’m sharing this from lived experience — navigating sleep regressions, toddler development, pregnancy insomnia, and over a year without a full night’s sleep.

Sometimes the quietest joy is the one that carries us through.

Can't stand one more person touching you? You're not broken. You're touched out.

This is a real nervous system response, not a failure to love your family enough.

So many mums feel this and rarely say it out loud. This post gives it language, and lets you off the hook for feeling it.

Read this if you're touched out. Link in bio. The free Nervous System Quiz is linked too.

Feeling like you can't stand one more touch from your newborn, toddler? Touched out is a real nervous system response, not a failure to love.

Fire without clarity burns fast.

That’s one of the biggest insights from this conversation with Liv.

As we move toward the Fire Horse energy, there’s a lot of momentum available.
A lot of drive.
A lot of power to create.

But power without discernment can quickly turn into burnout.

This moment isn’t asking us to rush.

It’s asking us to become clear first.

What are you building?
Why does it matter?
What will it mean for the people who come after you?

In the symbolism Liv shared, the emperor represents divine structure — the ability to hold power without collapsing into control.

He doesn’t rush.

He knows who he is.
He moves with intention.
He balances fire with wisdom.

And perhaps that’s the real invitation of this moment:

To honour both energies within us — the receptive softness and the decisive fire.

Clarity first.
Then action.

Exhausted. Touched out. Still trying to stay calm.

This is what regulation actually looks like in a depleted season — not "just breathe," but real tools for the moments when your reserves are genuinely at zero.

You don't need more willpower. You need small, doable supports that meet you where you actually are.

One of the greatest gifts you can give your children… is permission.

Permission to grow.
Permission to change.
Permission to be many things at once.

And the way they learn that isn’t through what we tell them.

It’s through what we model.

When we nurture the parts of ourselves that exist beyond motherhood — our curiosity, creativity, courage, joy — our children witness what it means to be fully alive.

They see that life doesn’t end when you become a mother.

It expands.

And something beautiful happens when we start accepting our own evolution through motherhood.

Our children begin stepping into themselves more freely too.

This episode explores the transition from maiden to mother and the quiet work of reclaiming who you are along the way.
