I don’t really know what I’m doing over here, but this is a big part of it 🤎

We need other mother’s in our corner. Someone to say “I get it”, “I see you”, “it feels hard because it is hard”.

I’ve felt quite an aversion to social media over the past couple of months and the thought of creating and posting has really felt too much. But then I run into someone I know or someone I don’t really know that well and they say “what you are doing is so important”, “thank you for being so vulnerable” and I remember why I started this movement to begin with.

I’m planning our next mother’s gathering in Spring. I don’t know exactly what it will look like yet, but I know it’s important.

Connection, knowledge, understanding, calm 🤎 watch this space!

I love this new trend going around..

Can we normalise posting one pic again, because we’re all tired 😫🤎

When did Instagram become all about marketing? I really believe the pressure to post, to reach, to do more and to be more is one of the things that is draining us all so much.

I’m just here to tell you, you are enough, just as you are 🤎

Sometimes our kids are screaming at us to just “be” with them. Through their behaviour, through illness, through role play or with their words.

The constant rush of today’s society pulls us away from what really matters - our little family 🤎

This weekend when illness hit my little girl, I knew we needed to cancel all plans and bunker down together as a family in the warmth of our house and our love.

The guilt of cancelling plans with friends and work tries to creep in for me in these moments but deep down I know that home is the only place I’m truly irreplaceable 🤎

This moment had me spiraling last week 🌀

I wasn’t going to post this because quite frankly it scares the s**t out of me to put myself out there like this.. and I was also thinking “who cares?”. But I decided that the more mums that speak out and voice what’s going on in our heads while we navigate motherhood, the better. I know these thoughts are a shared experience for a lot of mums and I hope hearing this story will make some of you realise that you are doing a better job than you think you are 🤎

Juggling all of the balls that society expect of us these days is incredibly hard and mum guilt comes out in so many ways. Something always has to give. I find this so hard to accept but it’s the reality of motherhood in today’s society and in general.

When my superhero Mother in Law stepped up to support me in this moment, it really showed me how important it is to have other women around you to champion you and pick up the pieces. We just can’t do this alone.

Tag another mum that always has your back in the good times and more importantly, the times you have to laugh, otherwise you’ll cry 🤎

One of my most comforting and cherished memories from early postpartum is visiting my mum’s house for lunch with my babies.

There’s something about being cared for by your own mum when you first become a mother that helps in ways you didn’t know you needed. The warmth, the consistent love in a time that feels so tumultuous and unpredictable. Someone else to nourish you with food and warm drinks so that you can continue giving to your baby.

My mum is such a special part of our Whispering Sheoak sessions. She lovingly prepares the food and drinks. Her love language is food and she has always had this incredible way of creating meals that feel like a hug. Mum’s presence is gentle, calming and stable and her energy is felt throughout our sessions in such an important way.

I know not everyone has their mum by their side and support can come in all different ways. I wanted to create a space that creates a loving and supportive environment for all mums to feel when they need it most and my mum is a big part of that 🤎

The week leading up felt tough.
The juggle, the prep, the mental load… all while still showing up as mum.

But then the weekend came, and we gathered.

Beautiful like-minded mums taking a moment to breathe. Real conversations, warming teas, beautiful food made by my mum, and slow walks on the land.

A reminder that we’re not meant to do motherhood alone. And that making space for ourselves matters too 🤎

Unfortunately we need to pause over winter while the colder weather settles in… but we’ve got some big plans ahead!

Comment ‘me’ if you need this 🤎

Four deep breaths.
A slower pace.
Space to arrive exactly as you are.

There’s something about this land that softens the noise. The shoulders drop, the mind quietens, and for a moment, you can hear yourself again.

This week, we hold our first Whispering Sheoak gathering here.
A gentle beginning created for mothers craving calm, connection, and space to exhale.

No pressure to be anything other than exactly who you are when you arrive 🤎

So many of your responses carried the same weight in different words.

The guilt.
The mental load.
The constant feeling of being pulled in every direction at once.
Trying to be present everywhere, for everyone.

Maybe the hardest part of motherhood isn’t one single thing.
Maybe it’s feeling like no matter how much you give… part of you still feels like you’re falling short.

If this feels familiar, you’re not the only one reading this feeling it 🤎

The hardest part of motherhood
for me?

It’s the sleep deprivation.

The kind where your body is begging you to stop
but you have no choice except to keep going.

Still making breakfast.
Still playing with the kids.
Still replying to messages.
Still showing up for work.

Then waking up
and doing it all again.

And again.

Motherhood can feel lonely like this.
Completely exhausted
while the world carries on like you’re functioning normally.

That’s why Whispering Sheoak exists.
To say the quiet parts out loud.
