If you've ever caught yourself looking at another mum and thinking, “Am I doing it all wrong?” — this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of The Imperfect Mum, we’re diving into something I see all the time with the women I work with (and yep, I’ve been there too): comparison in motherhood.

While I was on holiday in Corfu with my family, I noticed how easy it is — even when everything looks lovely on the outside — to start questioning ourselves.
Different routines. Different food choices. Different parenting styles. And suddenly we’re wondering if we’re falling short.

🎧 In this episode, I share:

• What I observed about parenting styles while on holiday
• Why comparing yourself to other mums is such a joy-killer
• The connection between mum guilt, perfectionism, and burnout
• Why parenting isn’t a performance — it’s a relationship
• A journalling exercise to help you tune back into what really matters to you as a parent

If you’ve been feeling like everyone else is coping better, or like you’re always second-guessing yourself — take this as your permission to stop looking sideways and start looking within.

You’re doing better than you think. And your family doesn’t need a perfect mum. They need you.

💛 Mentioned in this episode:

• Free journalling prompts for anxious, overwhelmed mums
• My 1:1 coaching for mums who want to ditch the pressure and feel more connected
• My go-to tools for when anxiety creeps in (journalling, cycle tracking, meditation, and more)

💛 Want to work with me?

Welcome back to The Imperfect Mum podcast.
If you’re walking the dog, stuck in traffic, cleaning the kitchen, or wrestling a fitted sheet onto the bed – I see you.

This weeks episode is for you if you feel you're holding everything together… except maybe your relationship.

Today, I'm chatting about what happens to us—as a couple—after we become parents. Because no one really prepares you for how much that changes things.e’ll

• Why your partner’s love language might suddenly feel like “emptying the dishwasher” (and why that’s valid),
• How the invisible load affects intimacy,
• And why scheduling sex doesn’t mean it’s not sexy – it just means it might actually happen.

This Iis about staying connected in the chaos, having a laugh, and remembering that small moments do matter.

So keep doing whatever you’re doing – I’ll keep you company. Let’s talk about love, resentment, kindness, and how to actually feel like a team again.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning all the plates—mum life, work, trying to be the best version of yourself—but underneath it all, you feel... a bit lost? Then this episode is for you.

In this week’s conversation, I’m joined by the incredible Becci McEvoy—mum, entrepreneur, and someone who knows the burnout spiral all too well. Becci shares how hitting a wall became the turning point that led her to redefine what success actually means for her, and spoiler: it’s not what we were told it should be.

We talk about:

✨ What it means to become the architect of your own life
✨ Why burnout often creeps in when we’re chasing someone else’s version of success
✨ How Becci went from cleaning jobs to creative entrepreneurship
✨ The power of small, daily changes that support your nervous system
✨ The magic that happens when we stop waiting for permission and just take the next step

This one’s for the mums who are quietly wondering if there’s more to life than just surviving the week. For the women craving simplicity, alignment, and that deep sense of this feels right. Becci’s story is a beautiful reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.

Take a moment to listen—you might just hear something you didn’t even know you needed.
