How to reconnect with your joy in motherhood (even when you're in survival mode) with Cat Googe

I'm joined by Cat Googe, a Joy Coach, and together, we explore why joy can feel so far away when you're exhausted, what survival mode actually does to your nervous system, and, most importantly, the small, realistic steps you can take to feel more alive, grounded, and connected again.

Whether you're feeling stretched thin, craving a moment of lightness, or longing to remember the version of you who laughed more freely, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

We cover:
• How to find sparks of joy even when you're overwhelmed
• The difference between happiness and sustainable, embodied joy
• Why mums disconnect from themselves and how to gently reconnect
• Practical, doable strategies to feel more present in everyday moments
• Mindset shifts that help reduce guilt and make space for "you" again
• How to stop waiting for life to calm down before you start feeling good

This episode is your reminder that joy isn't something you have to earn; it's something you can access, even in the messy middle.
