What if your capacity wasn’t a measure of your worth? In this episode, we dive deep into motherhood as the ultimate redefinition of capacity — where contraction and expansion dance together, and holding more often comes with the relief of letting go.
We explore the emotional labor mothers invisibly carry, the myth of the perfect mother who endlessly gives, and what happens when over-functioning becomes your normal. Because capacity isn’t static; it stretches and recoils, it asks you to meet yourself honestly in your edges.
What if your children’s growth was as much about your own? What if tending to your limits was the most loving thing you could do for them? This conversation is a gentle, honest reckoning with how we hold, share, and sometimes spill over.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why capacity isn’t a fixed trait: it contracts and expands, often in response to life’s demands.
- The hidden energy of emotional labor in motherhood, from preempting needs to managing outcomes.
- How overriding your own limits becomes normalised, and how that leads to cycles of burnout.
- The relief that can come with hard changes, and how your kids asking more of you can reveal where your capacity truly sits.
- The tension between what your kids “should” do and what they can realistically handle.
- The power of saying “I need a moment to regroup” instead of pushing through.
- How voicing your needs creates room for others to respond and support you.
- Releasing the perfect mother myth to honour what you actually have space for.
- Why sustainable family life requires equitable emotional labor — teamwork rooted in well-being, not sacrifice.
- The concept of emotional currency in relationships: building deposits so you can both withdraw when needed.
- The importance of checking in with your nervous system and giving yourself genuine rest breaks, not just bracing for the next tsunami.Want support on this journey?Come join us inside Honey Club — where we melt these blocks together, one breath, one practice, one deep remembering at a time.

This is the story behind the Instagram post. The truth of what it took of Julie; emotionally, energetically, and relationally - to walk beside her son Heath as he chased a dream that felt impossibly far away at times. From the heartbreaks to the breakthroughs, from holding the vision when he couldn’t, to surrendering control when she desperately wanted to fix things.
This episode is a raw, tender, and deeply honest look at mothering through uncertainty, staying attuned while letting go, and the quiet devotion it takes to raise a dreamer — without losing yourself in the process.
In this episode we discuss:
- What it means to support your child’s dream without making it your own
- Navigating heartbreak, setbacks, and the emotional weight of the unknown
- The line between co-creating and over-functioning as a parent
- How to hold attunement, belief, and boundaries at the same time
- The transformation of letting go when your child begins to fly
Whether you’re raising a dreamer, walking through a difficult season, or simply needing to feel less alone in the stretch of motherhood - this one’s for you.Want support on this journey?Come join us inside Honey Club — where we melt these blocks together, one breath, one practice, one deep remembering at a time.

If your life feels chaotic, cluttered, or constantly exhausting…it’s not just “life”; its information. In this episode, we unpack how your body, home, and calendar are mirrors of your nervous system (and what they’re trying to tell you).
We talk about what it means to stop performing, start listening, and live from truth - not just obligation.
You’ll hear why saying no is an act of power, how to tell the difference between burnout and misalignment, and why choosing ease isn’t lazy; it’s leadership. This is your permission to stop tolerating what drains you and start building a life that actually feeds you.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What your cluttered home or overflowing calendar is really telling you about your inner world
• How your nervous system shows up in your schedule, and how to stop trading your life for things that don’t feel meaningful
• The difference between living a life that looks good, and one that actually feels good
• Why saying no can be the most self-honouring thing you do (even if it’s uncomfortable)
• How to tell the difference between being in alignment and being in people-pleasing
• What happens when you stop tolerating what drains you, and start choosing what nourishes you
• Why you’re not a victim of your life, you’re the author of it (and how to take the pen back)
• How to stop gaslighting yourself when things feel off, and let yourself feel what’s real instead of managing it away
• Why burnout isn’t your default, it’s your body calling you home to your desireHoney Club

What if your presence was enough? In this episode, we unpack the beauty and bravery of showing up; not perfectly, but mindfully, especially on the days that stretch you thin. You’ll hear why your nervous system is your parenting compass, how tiny moments of attunement matter more than constant doing, and why choosing softness is not weakness but a radical act of love.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Why being present (even when messy or tired) is more powerful than doing it all perfectly
• How to stay connected when you’re touched out, triggered, or stretched too thin
• The tiny, doable moments of connection that shift everything (without needing to overhaul your day)
• What your nervous system is really communicating to your kids - and how to anchor it

In this tender and deeply personal episode, we share the story of saying goodbye to Julie’s beloved family dog, Ruby, after nearly 16 years. This isn’t just a conversation about losing a pet — it’s a raw and honest look at the wildness of grief, the silence it leaves behind, and what it means to walk through that pain as a parent, while still holding space for your children.
We explore the complexity of grieving while still showing up for life, and how loss doesn’t arrive in isolation - it often opens the door to every other goodbye we’ve ever tucked away.
This episode is for anyone navigating the quiet heartbreaks, the unexpected waves, and the tender task of parenting through it all.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What it’s like to lose a pet who’s been with you through every chapter
• The layered experience of grief - and why it’s never just about this one loss
• How to let yourself feel the pain and still show up for your kids’ needs
• Supporting children through grief in honest, age-appropriate, heart-centred ways
• How grief cracks you open - and why that’s not something to fear

You’ve been strong.
What “the feminine” actually is — in your body, your energy, and your everyday lifeWhy mindset work will only take you so far — and what your body’s been trying to tell you all alongHow surrender isn’t weakness — but a wildly powerful (and scary) practice for the woman who’s always in controlWhy living cyclically matters — and what shifts when you stop overriding your needs to keep upThe difference between performing and inhabiting your life — and how to reconnect with what feels like you again
Capable.
Getting it done.
But somewhere between the doing and the holding-it-all-together… you lost touch with you.
You’re tired of performing.
You miss feeling.
You crave softness — but you don’t know how to stop bracing.
Maybe you’ve heard about “the feminine” and thought, what even is that?
Is it sexy? Soft? Passive? Woo-woo?
Here’s what we want you to know:
Coming home to your feminine has nothing to do with how you look — and everything to do with how deeply you feel.
It’s not about losing your power. It’s about finding a version of it that doesn’t cost you your body, your joy, or your peace.
This episode is for the woman who’s curious… and ready to come home to herself.

Sure, motherhood is full of love - but let’s be honest, it’s also full of mess, doubt, and moments you didn’t see coming. One of the things that makes it all feel more manageable (and even joyful)? The other mums who show up beside you. The ones who nod without judgment, drop off dinner without asking, or hold space when you’re coming undone.
Why mum friendships are emotional oxygen—and how they help us feel more human and more whole.How to grow into sitting with other women—not just swapping stories, but holding space and deepening trust.Finding your “coven”—the women who help you stretch beyond your current reality and remind you what’s possible.How to gently build a village—especially if you’re starting from scratch or in a new season.Ways to nurture and sustain meaningful mum friendships, even in the busyness of life.What to do when friendship shifts hurt—and how to stay open to new connections.Where to look for aligned connection (beyond awkward playdates and school gates).
But these friendships aren’t just about venting or sharing the chaos—they can also be portals for growth. In this episode, we talk about the magic of mother-to-mother connection and how to gather, build, and sustain these relationships in a way that actually nourishes you. Because you can’t maintain what you don’t show up for—and in the right company, you don’t just feel seen, you feel expanded.

When we first began parenting, there was limited social media and no algorithm flooding us with answers — only books, workshops, blogs, and the occasional playgroup. In many ways, we were completely fringe — walking a path that asked us to discover ourselves through motherhood, not lose ourselves to it.
In this episode, we honour the beauty of seeing your child as an extension of yourself — the profound joy and deep nourishment that brings — and we also hold the truth that it’s easy to get lost. That tending to your child’s needs can so easily eclipse your own. We’re offering three essential “bumper bars” — like rails on a bowling lane — to help you navigate the dance between mothering your children and mothering yourself.
In this episode we discuss:
•Why loving your child as an extension of you can be beautiful — and why it’s not the whole story
•The hidden cost of always putting your child’s needs above your own
•Bumper Bar #1: Don’t ignore your creative impulses — why your creative fire is life-giving and how to honour it, even when it feels inconvenient
•Bumper Bar #2: Your child is not an extension of you — how over-identification leads to burnout, control battles, and loss of self
•Learning to let go of constant “better-best” parenting and allowing your child’s autonomy to flourish
•Noticing where your child’s choices reflect them — not your success or failure
•Bumper Bar #3: Tending to your identity as a woman — why caring for your body, heart, sexuality, and self-expression is non-negotiable for a whole and fulfilled life
•How neglecting the woman within leads to feeling unseen, undesirable, and disconnected — and how to gently find your way backResentment Decoder

Motherhood cracks open a whole new world — and with it, a thousand unseen fractures in our relationships. In this episode, we sit tenderly and truthfully with the discomfort of disconnection, resentment, and the quiet heartbreak so many couples experience as they build their families. This is the conversation that rarely gets spoken, but so desperately needs to be heard.
In this episode we discuss:
•The hidden grief and resentment of feeling disconnected from your partner in early motherhood
•How chasing the “perfect mother” archetype can consume all your emotional energy — and leave your relationship starving
•The way babies meet your oxytocin needs — and how this can unconsciously push your partner further away
•The growing conflict as children’s needs, demands, and family dynamics evolve
•The chasm created by inequity in the mental load and emotional labour of parenting
•How different parenting styles can ignite deeper wounds and escalate conflict
•The myth of “children are the ultimate gift” — and the struggle it hides underneath
•Why parenting doesn’t trigger your attachment wounds in the same way partnership does — and why relationship becomes the real crucible for growth
•Moving beyond the narrative of being “touched out” to understanding deeper emotional abandonment wounds
•Why daily self-care is essential for sustaining connection and vitality (not a luxury or a reward)
•How prioritising women’s bodies beyond function is crucial for better sex, intimacy, and relationship health
•The cost of invisibilising women’s lived experiences of motherhood — and how we begin to heal

What happens when the parts of you that once felt so whole now feel split between boardrooms and bedtime stories?
In this episode, we walk alongside Bridget’s raw and revealing journey — from leaving corporate to raise her children, to now returning to full-time work… and all the identity unraveling that’s come with it. The ache of being enamoured with your child, while also craving the fulfilment of purposeful work. The disorientation of feeling siloed — one version of yourself at work, another at home — never fully authentic in either space. The grief of realising you’ve outgrown one version of yourself, without yet knowing how to fully step into the next.
Together, we explore what it takes to reconcile the woman, the mother, the leader — and the longing to find a way of living where those identities merge, not compete.
In this episode, we discuss:
– The grief of identity shifts and the whiplash of watching others shift online
– The slow, steady coming into consciousness around inner conflict and desire
– The Care-Career Conundrum by Dr Sophie Brock
– Can you scaffold your children without being fully immersed in them?
– Creating capacity in your life by auditing time, delegating, and setting limits
– How your lack of flexibility can push your partner into responsibility
– Financial visioning for your family’s future
– Quality time vs. quantity time and releasing the guilt of not being “always on”
– Holding grace for when it all falls apartResentment Decoder

This one’s a little edgy. You might feel the sting at first. Maybe even a full-body ‘nope!’. But if you’re growth-oriented, it’ll plant a seed you can’t ignore.
Because what if you are the biggest thing standing in the way of the life you say you want?
We explore the uncomfortable signs that you’re outgrowing who you’ve been — like the rising gnarkiness at the things you used to love, the quiet burnout from living a life that no longer fits, and the mind-looping that keeps you from acting on your instincts.
This is an episode about identity, exhaustion, authenticity, and the bravery it takes to move forward when everyone around you would prefer you stay the same.
In this episode, we discuss:
– The signs you’re outgrowing your current identity
– The gnawing annoyance at what once lit you up
– Why ignoring your needs might be a holdover from childhood conditioning
– How staying “heady” can keep you from your truth
– The link between inauthenticity and depletion
– The emotional fallout of watching someone you admire change — and what it triggers in you
– Why being authentic might mean disappointing others — and why it’s worth it
– How getting clear on your future vision is the antidote to Groundhog Day living
If you’re tired of your own stories and ready to reclaim your energy, this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.

This one’s for the women who do it all... and are starting to feel the cost.
In this episode, we’re unpacking the slow, quiet build of resentment—the kind that hides in the “I’ll just do this one thing” that becomes ten. The kind that spirals when you’ve picked up the towel, the shoes, the lunchbox (again), while giving your kids ten chances—and watching your partner silently fume that you keep doing it.
We talk about:
- How the mental load compounds as your children grow
- Why your partner’s frustration might be pointing to your power leaks
- The moment your people-pleasing starts looking like control
- The deeply uncomfortable truth of emasculation and how we train him to defer
- What it really means to let go of control (hint: it’s not about doing less—it’s about loving more of what you’re choosing)
- And why resentment might be sacred—not shameful
- You’ll hear how hiding your truth to avoid disappointment ends up costing more, and what reclaiming your purposeful power actually looks like.
It’s raw, it’s real, and it might just give you the permission you didn’t know you needed.

We kick off this episode with an honest chat about parenting our autistic child — what it asks of us individually and as a couple. It was meant to be a quick segue into sex after long days… but became its own detour (because that’s real life). If you can hang in through the parenting feels, the juicy bits arrive soon after.
We open up about desire, body changes, flirty connection, and how we keep choosing each other in the mundane, chaotic, and overwhelming days. From the gym-sex metaphor to stepping towards instead of away when one of us is shut down, this conversation is full of real, imperfect, heart-and-body truths.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Parenting our autistic child and the emotional toll it takes on intimacy
- The evolving perception of each other as woman, man, mother, and father
- How desire shifts through exhaustion, resentment, and seasons of distance
- Nick’s reflections on my changing body, including prolapse, and how he holds that with love
- The “gym mindset” — why sex is worth the effort even when you're not in the mood
- The subtle but powerful ways we say “I desire you” through daily touch, playfulness, and presence
- How the mental load and unspoken stories can quietly erode intimacy
- What helps us rekindle sexual connection, even when we feel worlds apart
- Conflict, shutdowns, and how we've learnt to reach for each other instead of turning away
- Why connection — emotional, physical, and erotic — is the anchor for our relationship and our familyHoney Club

If you feel like your sex drive has vanished, it’s not because something is wrong with you. It’s because your mind is overloaded, your body is exhausted, and your desire has been buried under an avalanche of to-do lists, responsibilities, and emotional labour.
In this episode, we unpack the real reasons why so many women feel disconnected from their sensuality and why stress, overwhelm, and mental clutter shut down turn-on. We’ll explore the nervous system’s role in desire, why waiting for the “perfect moment” never works, and simple shifts that make pleasure possible again—even in the middle of a chaotic life.
If intimacy feels like just another chore, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we discuss:
- “I just don’t feel sexual anymore” – Why That’s Not the Whole Truth
- Why “low libido” is rarely about sex—it’s about stress, exhaustion, and disconnection.
- How the mental load of caregiving, work, and life drains desire.
- The guilt of should—feeling like you’re supposed to want sex but just don’t.
- A personal story of a woman who thought she had low libido—until she lightened her mental load.
- The Science: How an Overloaded Nervous System Blocks Turn-On
- Your body prioritises survival over pleasure—if you’re always in stress mode, arousal is impossible.
- The fight-or-flight vs. rest-and-receive response—and why women get stuck in “go mode.”
- Why tracking the next task, next meltdown, next deadline leaves no space for intimacy.
- The myth of “Once life calms down, I’ll feel more in the mood.”
- How avoidance fuels low desire—less sex = less intimacy = more disconnection.
- Why waiting for the perfect moment is like waiting for laundry to fold itself.
- A real-life example of a couple who broke the sexless cycle by focusing on micro-moments of connection.

Motherhood has shaped you, stretched you, and asked more of you than you ever thought possible. But what happens when you wake up one day and realize… it’s not everything anymore? When the role that once defined you no longer fits in quite the same way?
This episode is for the mother standing at the edge of change—the one who’s spent years devoted to raising her children, only to find herself coming up for air and wondering: What now?
We’re diving into the shock of realizing you’ve changed, the grief of outgrowing old identities, and the quiet tension between who you were and who you’re becoming. We’ll talk about the parts of yourself you’ve given up, the ones you’re ready to reclaim, and the uncomfortable yet necessary question—do you need a season just for you?
In this episode, we explore:
* The unexpected shift when motherhood isn’t all-consuming anymore—and why it can feel unsettling.
* The mix of relief and grief that comes with evolving beyond your old identity.
* The push-pull between being present for your kids and reclaiming the parts of you that have been on hold.
* The burden of feeling like someone else’s existence depends on you—and how to hold that lightly.
* Shedding old beliefs and stepping into a new version of yourself (even when it feels wobbly).
* How leading yourself helps your children thrive in their fullest self.
* Asking the question: Can I be present to what’s arising within me?
This is a conversation about honouring your evolution, making space for your own desires, and allowing the transformation of motherhood to keep unfolding. If you’re ready to explore what else is possible for you—let’s dive in.Honey Club

In this episode of Proud Mama, we’re diving into the emotional rollercoaster of tying our self-worth to our kids’ successes and struggles. Why do we feel pride when they excel and shame when they stumble? And how can we untangle these feelings to foster healthier, more authentic relationships? Join us as we explore the psychology behind parental pride and shame, how to shift from performance-driven parenting to connection-driven parenting, and practical tools to help both you and your child thrive emotionally.
In this episode we discuss:
* Why parents often see their children as extensions of themselves and how this fuels feelings of pride and shame.
* The difference between healthy pride and unhealthy pride—and why it matters.
* How shame shows up in parenting, including common thought patterns like self-blame and fear of judgment.
* The impact of parental emotions on kids and how to break free from perfectionist parenting.
* Practical tools to cultivate self-compassion, reframe negative thoughts, and focus on connection over outcomes.
* Playing word salad with the way you say things but still feeling them
* Pride as a natural response as part of parenting
* How we personally relate to our kids’ experience of success and failure
* Our desire to amplify and celebrate our child’s success
* How we personally experience pride and shame with our kids
* Self-policing and external policing of other mothers
* Parenting to get an outcome
* Your kids have an innate expression beyond your parenting
* Using your kids as a yardstick for ‘I’ve got my shit sorted’
* Pride and shame are entangled
* External performance and pride and their relationship to burnout

You know that guy—the one who gets so caught up in his own urgency that he blows the whole thing in two seconds, leaving you unsatisfied and wondering, was that it?
That’s what most of us do with tension. We can’t stand the discomfort, so we rush to resolve, fix, smooth it over, tie it up in a neat little bow—just to make the tension go away.
But what if you didn’t?
What if you could hold that charge—let it build, let it move, let it breathe—without caving to the part of you that needs closure, completion, resolution?
What if, instead of fumbling for the quick release, you learned how to lean back into the tension, dissolve the intensity in your body, and channel it into something deeper, richer, more magnetic?
So if you’re ready to stop rushing the resolution and start stretching your capacity for deeper, richer, more connected experiences—this one’s for you.
In this episode, we’re unpacking:
•The primal urge to finish—why it’s wired into us and how to rewire for something way more satisfying.
•The good girl/good boy conditioning that has us believing peacekeeping and problem-solving is the key to connection (spoiler: it’s not).
•The difference between a clumsy, premature emotional ejaculation and the art of holding—of allowing tension to build in a way that makes space for real connection.
•Why some men only want to hear things from other men, and how that plays into your frustration when you’re “not being kind.”
•The skill of not jumping in—whether it’s your partner’s mood, your child’s meltdown, or a friend’s drama—and instead, keeping your side of the street clean and boundaried.
•How to stop making tension the enemy and start making it your ally—because mastery isn’t about getting rid of the tension, it’s about knowing what to do with it.
