Why I’ve embraced selfish even though it made me

Why I’ve embraced selfish even though it made me squirm.

Maybe you, like me many years ago, are being asked by your body and soul at this point on your journey through motherhood to put the NICE mum to bed and finally wake up your inner selfish MOTHER.

Ready to find out? This is the work I do 1:1, guiding other mothers away from the exhausted, depleted “nice mum” version of motherhood, and towards the well resourced one they’ve been dreaming of.

Comment SELFISH and I’ll send you the details.

Some babies just DGAF about your sleep schedule or wake windows, no matter how much that online sleep consultant swears it’ll *help any baby* 🙄🤢

These babies are asking you to do sleep differently with them. I’m not going to lie to you — this road is hard. But if you’ve got one of these babes, you already know: what other choice do you have?

I’ve had two of them myself. A cumulative total of over 4 years broken sleep — 1500 nights, for anyone counting — and I’ve learned a thing or two along the way.

The truth is, you can turn the suffering of broken sleep into something that builds you up, makes you stronger, forges your resilience. But it takes intentional work — none of it focused on your baby or their sleep. There’s magic in this, in alchemising your pain into power. That’s the Sleep Alchemy way 🔮

These are just a few of the things that helped me survive broken sleep without burnout. Plenty more on my page — follow along for more.

Alchemise your pain. Survive broken sleep. Maybe even get something good out of it.

I know that’s hard to believe when you’re in the trenches, exhausted. But as a mum of two low sleep needs, wakeful babies — never sleep trained — trust me, it’s possible to turn this battle into something you’re genuinely grateful for.

Some babies don’t give a sh*t what the sleep manuals say. If you’re the lucky mother of one, congratulations — this could be your invitation to go deeper.

Simple homemade electrolyte drink (labouraid) for

Simple homemade electrolyte drink (labouraid) for labour, postpartum & beyond!⁣
⁣
An electrolyte drink can be incredibly useful during labor and postpartum, both of which are physically demanding times requiring additional mineral support.⁣
⁣
There are several great electrolyte or labouraid products available that you can buy, but if you’re looking for a simple option to make yourself at home, this is it!
⁣
Electrolytes (namely sodium, potassium, and magnesium) are vital for muscle function, energy levels, and the nervous system, among many other essential processes.⁣
⁣
Being properly hydrated with not only water, but also these minerals is crucial for:⁣
⁣
🍹 Facilitating effective muscle contraction & relaxation during labour & birth ⁣
⁣
🍹Supporting & maintaining milk production postpartum if breastfeeding⁣
⁣
🍹 Sustaining energy levels and reducing fatigue⁣
⁣
🍹 And providing you with more stamina for labour, birth, postpartum, and beyond⁣ ⁣
⁣

⁣
RECIPE⁣
⁣
This makes one serve - you can multiply the recipe to make a larger batch, like I did in this reel⁣
⁣
1/2 cup coconut water⁣
1/2 cup 100% natural juice (no added sugar or other additives, chose organic if you have the option)⁣
1/4 teaspoon salt⁣
Magnesium powder (optional, but beneficial - aim for a dose of around a 50-80mg elemental magnesium per serve)⁣
⁣
If you prefer not to use juice or have any blood sugar concerns, you can either use 100% coconut water or half/half normal water & coco water⁣
⁣
~~~⁣
⁣
TO MAKE:⁣
⁣
Stir or shake all ingredients together until salt and magnesium powder (if using) have dissolved. You can increase the recipe to make a larger batch - it can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.⁣
⁣

⁣
TO TAKE:⁣
⁣
🤰 During labour 🤰⁣
⁣
Take small sips from a water bottle of throughout labour, up to 3-4 serves within 24 hours⁣
⁣

⁣
Happy mixing!⁣

I always imagined that if I were lucky enough to be pregnant again, it would be this wonderful opportunity to share what I know about having nourished, healthy, happy pregnancy.⁣
⁣
When you work online it’s hard not to see everything as an opportunity for *content* ⁣
And particularly when you work in the motherhood space, every lived experience you have as a mother feels intertwined with work.⁣
⁣
But, spoiler, it’s been nothing like that; nothing like I expected.⁣
⁣
Instead of sharing the glowing, nourished version of pregnancy I imagined, I’ve done very little sharing and a whole lot of just trying to survive.⁣
⁣
I’ve spent more time wishing for it to hurry up and be over than I have enjoying it, which after 3.5 years of TTC has been a pretty difficult feeling to have.⁣
⁣
I’ve watched countless biz plans & projects disappear this year as I’ve devoted what little energy and brain power I have to simply keeping up with my existing work & family responsibilities.⁣
⁣
I’ve been hamstrung by debilitating sickness, followed by chronic pain, followed by unrelenting winter illness, all topped off with a nice dose of insomnia, leaving me feeling pretty depleted and exhausted, to say the least.⁣
⁣
But one thing about me is that I’m a glass half full, silver linings kind of gal, and I believe there is usually something valuable to be gained from hard experiences
⁣
And this year has reminded me, yet again, that it’s the hard times in life that shape us, much more than the easy times.⁣
⁣
Take this account and all the work I’ve been doing to support mothers for the last 3 years - these wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the challenges I went through in early motherhood.⁣
⁣
So while this pregnancy was nothing like I expected, I know it wasn’t hard for nothing. When the seasons change and I return to work I know I’ll be bringing so much back with me to help me better support women & mothers - a deeper understanding, more compassion, and a greater appreciation for the challenges of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and so much more.⁣
