Here’s the big news – I’ve FINALLY launched the podcast I’ve been dreaming about doing for the last 2 and a half years! If you follow me on Instagram you’ll already know since I’ve been bombarding my stories and grid with photos of microphones and me looking uncomfortable in oversized headphones, but you may be wondering what all the fuss is about and why I’m such a podcast advocate. Truth is, I really believe they can save your sanity…

I haven’t managed to write post-baby yet so here goes! I’ve been looking for inspiration for this latest post and have turned to my own experience to try and get my blogging mojo back!

Following on from last week’s reflective post on trying to focus on what I want to achieve, I decided to enrol on the WORK/LIFE BALANCE MASTERCLASS by Selfish Mother. The course consists of a series of short videos and activities to complete via a workbook to really get the message across.

JUGGLING MUM LIFE AND PERSONAL LIFE…
I knew it had been a while since I last blogged but I was shocked when I realised it was 5 months ago. I had been doing so well at balancing regular blog posts with looking after my son and studying for my social media course but then somehow I fell off the wagon (not for the first time). I’m not sure what happened. I got sucked into social media, via Digital Mums, I kind of ran out of ideas for things to write about here and raising a hyperactive toddler became distinctly more tricky than looking after the sleepy, immobile baby I had grown to know!

“YOU CAN DO ANYTHING BUT NOT EVERYTHING”
Wise words from David Allen, (a productivity consultant and best selling author of Getting Things Done), but so easy to forget. Especially when you are a mum and multi-tasking to the point of self-combustion on a daily basis. It has been scientifically proven that Continue reading ““YOU CAN DO ANYTHING BUT NOT EVERYTHING””

FUTURE PROOFING AND UP-SKILLING WITH DIGITAL MUMS
During my maternity leave, I made a decision to really work on self development, knowing that becoming a mummy would be challenging and push me beyond anything I’ve ever done before. I was doing pilates most days, watching videos about goal setting, learning about branding and reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert but for all the good it was doing me, I was worried about my future career prospects….
