I think a lot of mums mistake nervous system overload for being “off” 💛

They think:

💭 Why am I so irritable?
💭 Why am I so exhausted?
💭 Why don’t I feel like talking?
💭 Why do I feel disconnected?

But often it’s not because anything is wrong.

It’s because you’ve spent the entire day being needed.

Listening.
Responding.
Planning.
Problem-solving.
Thinking ahead.

Your brain hasn’t had a second to switch off.

That’s why I’m such a big believer that tiny moments of regulation throughout the day can make a huge difference.

✨ Three slow breaths while the kettle boils
✨ Sitting down to drink your coffee
✨ Five minutes of fresh air
✨ Pausing between tasks instead of rushing to the next thing

Small moments of calm add up.

Because a calmer nervous system often means more patience, more energy, and feeling more like yourself again 🙏🏻✨

One of the biggest mistakes I see after a C-section?

Doing too much, too soon.

And I completely understand why.

We’ve spent months feeling uncomfortable, we are desperate to feel like ourselves again, and there’s so much pressure to “bounce back” after having a baby.

But our body has just grown a human and undergone major surgery.

It needs time & recovery won’t be linear.

Some days we’ll feel amazing.

Other days we’ll feel like we’ve taken a few steps backwards.

That’s normal.

Walking is a fantastic place to start, but more isn’t always better.

A slow, gradual progression will always beat doing too much and setting ourselves back.

Be patient with yourself, mama🙏

You’re not behind.

You’re recovering💛

People see the pizza 🍕

They don’t see ALL the movement behind the scenes 👀

The walking.
The workouts.
The muscle built over years.
The busy mum life.
The lifting, tidying & constantly being on the go.

I actually have an underactive thyroid🙋🏻‍♀️

“Fast metabolism” is usually just years of habits people don’t notice 💛
