Life Coach. Mental Load Specialist. Mum.

MEET

Michelle

I am a qualified Life Coach (BYCA & former Primary Teacher (BAEd).

I work with mums and parents who, at their core, know that when they prioritise themselves, their mental load and their mindset, everything about their everyday life blossoms. These mums are ready to take action on that being their reality!

I have supported hundreds of clients since 2019, completely transforming how they feel and dissipating the mental exhaustion that takes them away from soaking in the daily moments of their lives.

I am Mum to two gorgeous little humans, wife to a professional sportsman, sister, daughter, aunt and friend.

My deepest belief is that kindness makes the world go round.

Nothing fills me with more joy than to be by the ocean - it is my absolute go-to in the good and heavy times.

I am so grateful to have attracted mums from all over the world through my work - we are deeply connected through the shifts that occur, leading to beautiful friendships long after our formal time together.

ALL THE WAYS I LOVE TO SUPPORT YOU ARE HERE

Here's the truth about the mental load...

As a functioning adult, you will have a mental load, that in itself is not the problem.

The goal is not to have zero mental load.

The goal is to have your mental load feel sustainable and supported so you have the capacity for moments and relationships that ACTUALLY matter.

To achieve this, it is vital to know what to focus on and how to implement the skills to get there efficiently and effectively.

That's where I can help you.

Since entering Motherhood

the default narrative I have heard is...

It has to feel hard
'Busy' and 'exhausted' should be your default if you are doing it 'right'
You are likely going to have to figure it out alone
You will have to nag, remind or follow up, it's just how it is
Your emotions and needs should be tended to as a last priority
Life will get in the way of your hobbies and interests
You will lost your sparkle for a little while but it will com back
You need to be all of the things, all of the time

Were there moments of feeling overwhelmed, deflated and of utter worry and doubt? ABSOLUTELY, they are part of the human experience.

BUT, I was able to trust myself and lean into my mindset strategy toolbox to recognise that I could support myself to make it through without crumbling. Pleasingly what I actually experienced was unbelievable growth and flourishing.

I have absolutely no doubt that this is accessible and available to you too.

I knew there was another way. I knew that the widely publicised default story that motherhood should be a hard slog, flooded with constant worry, feeling like I needed to do and be better, doubting, questioning and overall exhaustion, didn’t have to be my only reality.

So I set out to consciously choose how I wanted my motherhood journey to feel and look. I knew that I had power in this, I didn’t need to be a victim. I never once dismissed or overlooked the moments that were difficult and draining, instead, I recognised them AND knew that I was strong enough and equipped enough to overcome them resiliently, without sacrificing all of myself and my energy in the process.

I focused on where I wanted to expend my energy and anchored into my values to ensure I knew what was most important to me. This meant I was able to genuinely soak in the long days and nights, as they were, instead of wishing they were something else.

This was powerful work and made a huge impact on how I experienced my life and the journey of my every day, instead of just the ‘destination’.

Over the years, I learned the power of practising deeper skills of acknowledging and sharing the mental load that I carried as the default parent and mental load bearer in our household. These quite literally changed my life as they allowed me to participate in our family life without mental exhaustion and resentment. Just like you, I had the motivating factor of knowing that working on myself would have a beautiful flow-on effect for my family and on creating a life that didn’t only need to be hard or exhausting or chaotic.
My mission in my business is to help as many mums as possible to learn these skills and feel supported in their mental load, their mindset and their confidence to adjust to the ebbs and flows of their life as a parent.

I understand you.

I understand the pressures you feel from within and from outside. I have felt the exhaustion of caring so deeply, of providing a warm, safe and caring environment for your little (or big) people to grow and develop. I know what it feels like to have a ‘never-ending’ list of things to get done, to feel like it's all on you, to crave that moment to yourself to catch up and breathe and to feel like you are on the fastest hamster wheel ever invented!

I get you. You are not alone.

I also know the relief, confidence and utter excitement of knowing your mental load isn't ruling you anymore.

Let me teach you how this is possible for you too.
