How do I raise resilient kids when I'm still figuring things out myself?

In this episode of The Imperfect Mum, I’m diving into one of the most important topics in both motherhood and personal healing: resilience.

If you were raised to play it safe, avoid risks, and plan for the worst… you're not alone. I know what it’s like to be scared of failing, scared of rejection, and stuck in a fixed mindset that says, “Don’t even try unless you know you’ll get it right.”

But here’s the truth: resilience isn’t about being fearless—it’s about learning to wobble and keep going anyway.

I share a story from the skate park (yes, the skate park!) that hit me hard, and reminded me how powerful it is to show our children what it means to try again. You’ll also hear:

✨ What resilience really looks like in day-to-day motherhood
✨ How our childhood shapes our mindset and nervous system
✨ The power of “What if it all goes right?”
✨ How to support your child through discomfort—without rescuing
✨ My favourite tools to regulate your own nervous system (tapping, breathwork, affirmations, even dancing!)
✨ Why breaking cycles starts with how we respond to hard things

This one’s for you if you’ve been feeling anxious, stuck, or like you’re failing even though you’re trying so hard. You’re not. You’re learning. And that’s exactly what your kids need to see.
