Welcome to My Story
From "Mothers Ruin" to Mother Rising
Before Motherhood
Before becoming a mum, I was coasting through life without real direction. I worked in care supporting people with dementia, work I enjoyed, but deep down I felt like I was destined for something more. I felt unfulfilled, and most of my “escape” came in the form of binge-drinking nights out. I looked like I was living, but I wasn’t thriving. I started to study psychology at university, which made me feel a sense of purpose for once.
Then came that morning, making coffee, realising my period was late, and taking a pregnancy test. Ninety seconds later, POSITIVE. From that moment, I knew my life was about to change forever.
Postpartum: Losing Myself
Bringing my baby home was comforting, but I was also hit with panic: i looked down at this tiny baby in the car seat in my living room and thought what do I do now? Am I really ready for this?
The days blurred into exhaustion and self-doubt. My body felt alien, scarred, swollen, and soft in ways I wasn’t prepared for. My confidence vanished. I was constantly doubting myself and consumed by guilt for wanting more, I compared myself to “perfect mums” online, and often hid away at home to avoid imagined judgement at baby groups and mum clubs.
I longed for connecting with other mums or sharing how i felt with family but my anxiety kept me silent and isolated. I adored my daughter, yet I didn’t recognise the woman staring back at me. On the outside, I smiled. Inside, I felt lost, unrecognisable, and desperately wondered if I would ever feel like me again.
Now
Today, I’m living proof that change is possible. Not because life is perfect, but because I chose to rise.
I’m no longer the woman ruled by fear, guilt, or comparison. Instead, I feel happier in myself, more confident, and finally at peace with who I am.
Mother's no longer have to shrink to fit the societal expectations and stay in the "mum box" you get to expand, Be YOU.
This shift has changed every part of my life: I have the energy to enjoy time with my daughter. I show up with more love and patience. I feel lighter, more positive, and more present in everyday life.
But here’s what I want you to know:
You are not broken. You are not failing. You are not lost forever.
Underneath the exhaustion, the self-doubt, and the weight of it all, you are still in there. Your strength, your fire, your dreams, they’re waiting to be uncovered.
I’m a psychology graduate, a trained life coach, and, most importantly, a mum who has walked through the hard days and come out stronger.
If I can rise from the lowest point, so can you. Your journey back to yourself begins with one small, brave step, and I would be honoured to walk it with you.
Pregnancy & Birth
Pregnancy was a rollercoaster. I was overjoyed to feel my baby growing, nesting and redecorating with excitement. But there were darker days too, crying on the bed surrounded by clothes that didn't fit, feeling too overwhelmed to leave the house, hiding away where no one could judge me.
I envisioned the perfect water birth, calm and natural. Instead, it became 72 hours of labour, exhaustion, and finally an emergency C-section. When my daughter was placed in my arms, I was in awe, yet the fear set in almost instantly, in our room after birth just me and her, i panicked what if someone took her while i was asleep? Is she warm enough? When should i feed her again? Am I enough for her?
The Shift
One day, I realised I couldn’t keep living in survival mode. Something inside me whispered, enough.
Sobriety was my first brave step. Finishing my psychology degree gave me a spark of purpose. And when my relationship ended, I faced the pain head-on instead of numbing it. Each choice gave me back a piece of myself I thought I’d lost forever.
But my true transformation began when I discovered life coaching. Through my training, I didn’t just learn how to help others, I learned how to heal myself.
I uncovered where that constant voice of “not enough” had come from, the unkindness at school, harsh comments in past relationships, and the childhood beliefs that quietly shaped me. I realised those weren’t my truths. They were stories I’d carried for too long.
Bit by bit, I replaced them with new beliefs: that I was capable, worthy, and more powerful than I’d ever allowed myself to see.
I stopped hiding. I stopped doubting. And I began rising, not as the woman I used to be, but as a stronger, more authentic version of myself.
That’s the gift I want every mother to know is possible: no matter how lost you feel, you can find your way back, and forward, to you.
