In this episode, I open up about the emotional journey of moving from lakeside Ajijic to the colourful city of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. From the moment I made the decision to leave behind a place I’d grown comfortable in, to the surprising emotional waves that hit me along the way, it’s been a ride full of unexpected twists. I share the grief of letting go, the challenges of uprooting my family, and how this bold move ultimately led to deep inner growth.

As I settle into this new chapter, San Miguel has brought fresh inspiration and a sense of renewal. In this episode, I talk about how the city’s vibrant energy, artistic culture, and rich social life have reawakened parts of me that had been asleep. I dive into the joy of making new friends, exploring local cuisine, and the special moments of bonding with my daughter in our new home.

But this move is about more than just a change in location—it's a story of rediscovering myself. I reflect on the lessons that change and movement can teach us, and how stepping into the unknown can reignite our passion, creativity, and sense of flow. This transition has reconnected me to a deeper purpose, bringing clarity to my personal journey.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, craved change, or wondered what it takes to shake things up, this episode is for you. I invite you to join me as I explore how a simple decision to move cities became the catalyst for a personal revival—proof that sometimes, the most profound transformations come from embracing the unfamiliar.

Warning: This podcast is not a highlight reel. (And I think that's a refreshing thing in a world of superficiality and false pretences.)

Go behind the scenes of my life as I build an online business, raise a family with intention, live abroad in a new country, and unpack trauma, programming, and reparent myself openly in the public realm.

In every episode, you’ll get insights into the depth of what it really takes to build a business, whilst being a present mama, living a life outside the box, and doing the work it takes to be who we’re meant to be.

My Mama Summer is my journey to becoming whole.
