No More Survival Mode: Our 2026 Intentions

2025 pushed us into survival mode. Juggling work, motherhood, mental load, shifting priorities, and the quiet exhaustion that comes from always holding it together.

In this episode, we’re reflecting honestly on what 2025 taught us - the burnout, the boundaries, the unexpected plot twists and how we’re choosing to move into 2026 with more intention, softness, and self-trust.

This is a real, unfiltered conversation for working mums who are tired of coping and ready to live with a little more ease.

This episode isn’t about hustle, fixing yourself, or setting impossible goals.
It’s about leaving survival mode behind and choosing a kinder way forward.

✨ If 2025 felt heavy, you’re not alone.
✨ If 2026 needs to feel calmer, this conversation is for you.

We’d love to hear from you. DM us your biggest lesson from 2025 or what you’re doing differently this year, and we’ll share some of your reflections on a future episode.

You’re allowed to rest.

Christmas is meant to be magical… but for many mums, it’s also exhausting, emotional, and quietly overwhelming.

In this Christmas special episode, we’re lowering the bar, naming the chaos, and having the conversations that usually happen in the kitchen at midnight when the house is finally quiet and the feelings catch up.

We talk honestly about the mental load of Christmas, the invisible planning, the pressure to make everyone else happy, and how easy it is to lose yourself in the process. We share what we’ve loved this season, what’s been hard, the moments we nearly lost it (or fully did), and the boundaries we’re learning to set imperfectly.

There’s laughter too. Funny fails, expectation-vs-reality moments, and reminders that you are very much not alone in any of this.

Most of all, this episode is about redefining what a good Christmas actually means, letting go of perfection, choosing connection, and modelling emotional honesty for our kids.

Whether you’re wrapping presents at midnight, hiding in the loo, feeling flat, grieving, or just trying to get through December this one’s for you.

✨ No fixing. No pressure. Just real talk, warmth, and permission to be human.

“However this Christmas looks for you, you are doing enough.”
