You’re the organiser, the planner, the one who keeps the wheels turning: for your kids, your home, maybe your work too.

From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all under control. But inside you feel like something's missing.

In this episode, we talk about the quiet unravelling that happens when you’ve been holding everything (and everyone) for too long.

We explore why the version of life you built might no longer fit, what happens when your body and mind are stretched thin, and how food and nourishment can start to bring you back to yourself. I discuss:

• Practical steps to calm your nervous system through food

• Why lack of energy and brain fog aren’t personality flaws

• What to do when you’re tired of the life you worked so hard to create

• How to start making space for your needs again — without guilt

This isn’t about starting from scratch or burning it all down.

It’s about steady energy, clearer thinking, and the space to remember who you are — underneath the responsibilities.

If you’re feeling like you’ve lost touch with you, this is your gentle permission slip to begin again.

The last few days have been full on — sick kids, poor sleep, hard news, and now I'm running on empty.
So this episode is short, honest and a little reminder that even on the hardest days, we can still make tiny choices to look after ourselves.

I’m sharing what I’ve been doing to feel more human today — nothing fancy, just small acts of care that are helping me not spiral into guilt, overwhelm or biscuits (well, not just biscuits).

If you’re in the thick of it too, I hope this feels like a hug.

This week on Raising Healthy Mothers, we’re going deeper than probiotics and fibre. I’m talking about how your gut health affects everything, from your immune system to your hormones, your mood, your energy, even your skin.

This episode is adapted from the intro lesson to my Spring Gut Reset, and it’s a brilliant place to start if you’re wondering why gut health matters so much, especially in the thick of motherhood.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, foggy, snappy, or your skin’s been itchy or dull (but you’d never have guessed it was your gut), this one’s for you.

Here’s what I talk about in this episode:

• A gut health 101 – what exactly is your microbiota?
• How your gut and hormones (especially oestrogen) are closely connected – and why this matters as we head into our 30s and 40s
• The gut–brain link and how it can affect your mood and mental clarity
• Why 70% of your immune system lives in your gut – and how this shapes your long-term health
• A side note on skin – because it’s often the first sign something’s out of whack internally
• Five key questions to ask yourself about your gut health
• And a bit more about my Spring Gut Reset, which starts on 2nd June 2025

If you’ve ever felt like your body’s out of balance – even without obvious gut symptoms – this episode will help you connect the dots.
