{15.12} Before You Write Off The Rest of the Year…
Listen on:
In this final episode of the season — and the final one of 2025 — I’m speaking to that familiar end-of-year feeling where everything is full, stretched and slightly chaotic.
The Christmas lists are multiplying, the school dates keep shifting, the mornings start too early, and you’re holding everyone’s emotions while trying to keep the house moving. You’re managing — of course you are — but nothing feels easy. And the quiet thought creeps in: “I’ll just get through December… I’ll sort myself out in January.”
This episode is for the part of you that knows something needs to change, but feels too exhausted to start.
In this episode, I talk about:
What it feels like to keep pushing through even when your capacity is shrinking
Why slowing down hasn’t made you feel better (and why that’s not your fault)
The emotional weight you’re carrying without realising it
The difference between resting and quietly resigning
Five grounding steps you can take now — without adding more pressure
How things change when you get support
If you’re listening and thinking, “That’s me”…, then RECOVER is my six-month 1:1 programme for mums who are tired of feeling stretched thin and want support that actually lands. We start with a full blood test, build a plan around your real life, and walk through the changes together so you’re not doing any of it alone.
If you’ve been circling the idea of getting help — or you simply don’t want to keep going like this — you can book a call through the link in the show notes. We’ll talk honestly about where you are and whether RECOVER is the right fit.
