Get a husband that books you a weekend away in spa hotel even when he’s not in the country 🙏🏼🧖♀️👌🏼
Honestly so so grateful for this weekend to be able to have some time where my brain was actually able to shut off and relax. It’s the calmest my nervous system has been in 4 years.
I love being a mum, I love being able to see to my children’s needs every single day. But burnout is scary. Losing yourself is scary. Broken sleep every single night is scary.
Not only is my husband an absolute king for booking this for me… but the discipline and the guts to go alone was a huge sign of growth for me.
My usual pattern would have been to invite someone, get drunk, feel hungover and say I need a night where I just lay in bed and rest and never commit to it.
Going to the spa alone the first night was nerve wracking, I saw lots of couples and girls in groups but wasn’t in any mood to socialise.
Then going for a 4 course dinner in the evening even though I felt silly without my husband it was also nice to have zero to do and get treat like royalty. This is normally something I’d feel so guilty about going without the kids, and allowing myself to enjoy it.
But my children were having an amazing time with my parents (who wanted to have them that night anyway. So I’d of either spent it or got too drunk and not made the most of my chance to relax)
Though I did enjoy a few glasses of rose Prosecco and ice my current go too 👌🏼
But I came home feeling refreshed and honestly newer me! I’ve more ideal and plans for Grow & Glow, workshop themes and 1-1 sessions going forward.
I spent time actually doing the spiritual mindset work I talk about.
And overall I came home feeling fulfilled to be the mother I want to be. Not the one who’s burning the candle at both ends saying “I’m fine”.
Turning 30 has done wonders for me. I’ve learnt my capacity, set on my boundaries, focused on my goals… manifesting like a magic machine. Learn’t to sit and appreciate the present. And I’m glad I’m not who I was clinging onto before because I’m better.
I don’t mean that coming from a place of wow look at me. I mean that because I’ve really f’king struggled. I’ve like I really lost myself and post-natal repression after my son hit me like a ton of bricks and I felt so guilty for it because I was happy. But extremely overwhelmed and I’ve been living off limited sleep since, having two under two, one autistic and one who didn’t like sleep lol.
But I’ve found myself on the other side, a way better version of me! So yes I’m proud of myself.
I share a lot of my mindset tips and tools in the female well being workshops which I have personally created. No chat gpt, purely from the heart! So if you’d like an exclusive spot on my launch night for “FEMALE FORGIVENESS” then get in touch. It’s time to step into the best version of you!
