Welcome back to Episode 8 of Unapologetically Me. Today I open up about the all-too-common feeling of being overwhelmed during the holidays, especially when the kids are home. As mums, we’re often expected to juggle everything—work, home life, and parenting—without missing a beat. But the reality is, it’s okay to feel overwhelmed, and it’s crucial to take time for ourselves without guilt.

I share a personal moment where I recognised the need to step away, take myself out for lunch alone, and just breathe. In this episode, I’ll discuss the importance of self-care, why mums shouldn’t feel guilty for needing a break, and how being kinder to ourselves can make all the difference.

Join me for a heartfelt conversation about the pressures of modern motherhood and the vital importance of giving ourselves the grace and space we deserve. If you’re a mum feeling the weight of expectations, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and it’s okay to put yourself first sometimes.
