🍂🌻💚 September - Self Care Month 💚🌻🍂

August can be an exhausting month, balancing work commitments, children, family duties, and the general busyness of life. There’s often pressure to create the ‘perfect’ summer, and the emotions that come with that can feel overwhelming. As the season shifts, the light softens, and the leaves begin to change, it becomes a natural time to return to routines, reflect on self‑care, and tend to your mental health.

I can feel things beginning to change 🍁🍂
It's definitely slightly darker in the morning & evening.
It was so nice to get some much needed rain today 🌧️

What do you notice at the moment? Are you ready for autumn?

Over the years, I've lived in several different parts of the UK, and each time we've moved I've felt that familiar worry of starting again, wondering whether I'd find people I truly connected with.

Looking back, I feel so thankful that in every place we've called home, I've found a wonderful tribe of women who have welcomed me, supported me, and shared life's ups and downs. Those friendships have become such an important part of my journey.

So today, I'm celebrating the bonds that unite us 💚

It's that time of year again!
Whatever you have planned for summer, I hope you manage to find time for fun, play and rest.

Enjoy the time with your children making memories 💓

Does anyone else get slightly apprehensive around this time wondering how to juggle childcare, work, and life, over the summer?

It's good to reach out to other parents for support, especially if feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
Sometimes all that's needed is a coffee, a friendly face and a supportive ear.
You are not alone 💪💚🤝

How has this beautiful weather been making you feel?

For many people, myself included, the warmth and sunshine are incredibly welcome. As someone who experiences Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), I find the longer, brighter days can lift my mood and replenish me after the darker months.

At the same time, I know that summer isn't easy for everyone. High temperatures can be difficult to manage, affecting sleep, energy levels and concentration. Heat can also interact with certain medications, increase feelings of anxiety or irritability, and leave some people feeling overwhelmed rather than uplifted.

Go gently 💚

The pressure to solve life's problems, make the right decisions, or hold everything together can leave us feeling exhausted. If you're naturally empathetic, you may also find yourself carrying the worries of friends and family, wanting to fix things for the people you love.

But sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is let go of the need to control every outcome and trust that not everything has to be solved today.

Trust yourself. Trust your resilience. Trust that, one step at a time, you'll find your way.
