Motherhood.

One word containing perhaps every emotion known to us as humans.

There really isn’t only one way to sum up being a mother, so I thought I would put together some of my favourite inspiring quotes about becoming a mother.

For times when you need to be uplifted, inspired, challenged or soothed, I hope these words help in your own journey as they do in mine.

There isn't only ONE way to do things...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being 'plugged in' constantly means we're bombarded with the 'SHOULDS' & 'NEEDS' for your life and business.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If we are constantly listening to what other people feel we should & need to do, then we can easily lose touch with our own intuition and what feels RIGHT for us and US alone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This applies to everything in life, from business to motherhood and beyond ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's also important to remember that living in alignment with one's true self feels different for everyone...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, it feels like no pressure, like opportunities become available to me without having to try too hard and I spend less time mindlessly scrolling and more time doing the things.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How often have you used the word ‘just’ when describing your talents.

So often, Mums don’t believe they have any unique skills or talents to start their own businesses.

The beauty of this online world that we live in is that working from home has never been easier and those skills you possess could be exactly what someone is looking for help with within their own lives or businesses.

➕ Maybe spreadsheets are your jam and you can whip up epic formulas for all sorts of data and systems.

➕ Maybe you are epic at organisation and have a sweet process for decluttering which could help people feeling overwhelmed with the task of going through their cupboards full of stuff.

➕ Maybe you have meal planning down to a fine art and can help take the stress away for busy parents in planning nourishing family meals each week.

➕ Maybe you have a green thumb and could sell gorgeous indoor plants to beautify the lives of those around you.

If I had listened to those stories I told myself that I ‘just draw for fun’ I never would have pursued the opportunities to use my creative gifts to help others and their businesses.

When you get caught up in the ‘justs’ and focusing on what you feel you’re lacking, you’re missing the opportunity to help those around you.

What are your unique gifts and talents?
I’d love for you to share them with us below 👇🏾

Sometimes we get SO excited when we have wonderful

Sometimes we get SO excited when we have wonderful business ideas but then the more we think about it, the harder it feels to get things off the ground.

My tips for starting in small business (especially for the mums juggling everything):

👉🏻 Keep it simple. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. What is the one service/product/offering you can begin with? Start there.

👉🏻 Write it all down. Do a brain dump and get all the things out of your head onto paper. Then write up a simple business plan and start simple (as per point one 👆🏾)

👉🏻 Get some support. Business coaches are worth their weight in gold and will help you actualise those business dreams you have. In the very least find yourself some like-minded women, a mastermind or peeps that can help keep you accountable and help you move toward those goals when you feel like giving up.

If you're a fellow business owner, what helps you stay on track?

❌ You’re disgusting.
❌ Seriously, get it together.
❌ You’re such a quitter.
❌ Get over it.

These, and more- are all things that I’ve said to myself (usually in my head- but sometimes even out loud).

Being kind to myself doesn’t come easy and I know I’m not alone.

I’ve been reading the book Self Compassion by Kristin Neff @neffselfcompassion ❤️ and it’s FILLED with value bombs for women and especially for mums.

I’ve been challenging myself to speak to myself like a friend, like I would speak to someone I love and let me tell you, it’s HARD.

I figured that beating myself up all the time wasn’t really helping me reach my goals, so what did I have to lose 🤷🏼‍♀️

BUT every day it gets a little easier and I’ve noticed:

💕 Less feelings of overwhelm.
💕 More courage in taking action.
💕 A kinder outlook and less judgement of those around me.
💕 Greater feelings of contentment.

I can’t recommend this book more if you struggle with self compassion and kindness.

Let me know if it resonates with you too 💕
