Feeling stuck, exhausted, and ready for more energy in 2026?

Feeling the Christmas Eve chaos as a busy mum?

Last minute wrapping, sorting toys, a few unplanned cards to be written, checking everything's good with the food can cause festive panic to creep in.

This episode is your 10 minute Christmas reset — a calming, guilt-free pause before the big day. Or to be used whenever you need it.

You’ll learn how to:

• Ground and reconnect with your body

• Reflect on your year and acknowledge your wins

• Enjoy Christmas fully — the feast, the treats, the laughter — without guilt or hesitation

• Use a simple 2-minute reset on Christmas Day if things feel overwhelming

Take this time to breathe, reset, and step into the festive day with calm, presence, and joy. You deserve it.

And remember, whatever happens in the Christmas days to come, you are doing a great job 💕

If you would like more tools to help navigate overwhelm in the festive season or anytime of year, here is my gift to you. In collaboration with Emily Bewley from Scribbles of Sanity we have created the Mum's Festive Reset- A four point tool kit for when it's all a bit too much.

The holiday season is meant to be joyful, but for busy mums, it can quickly become overwhelming.

Between school events, family obligations, gift lists, wrapping and endless festive tasks, it’s easy to feel stressed, exhausted, and guilty for not enjoying it fully.

In this episode, Amanda shares practical, realistic strategies to help you survive and even enjoy the season.

We dive into:

⛄ Prioritising what truly matters for you and your family
⛄ Managing your energy instead of just your time
⛄ Letting go of guilt and finding space for rest and enjoyment

This episode is perfect for mums who feel stretched, stressed, or like they’re doing everything during the holidays, when all they really want to do is sit down with a cup of tea, a mince pie and a Christmas movie. Let's try to release the pressure, and work with practical tools to feel calmer, more in control, and more like yourself this festive season.

Does the thought of holiday get togethers make you panic about what to wear — or actually whether you should go at all? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Amanda tackles the common holiday struggles busy mums face: the party dress panic, food guilt, and the fear that your body isn’t “ready” for celebrations.

Amanda shares practical, real-life strategies to help you:

😍 Feel confident in your clothes without squeezing into the wrong size

😍 Move and breathe in ways that reduce tension and self-consciousness
😍 Stop comparing yourself to everyone else and enjoy the celebrations

😍 How a friend might be just what you need to navigate the situation and make the best of it

This episode is perfect for mums who feel stuck or overwhelmed and want to enjoy holiday events without shame or stress. There are no extremes here, just practical tools to help you reclaim your confidence, feel good in your own skin, and join in fully with family and friends this season.

Do you ever feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re holding yourself back — not because you’re scared to fail, but because you’re scared of actually succeeding?

In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden barrier that keeps so many mums exhausted, disconnected from themselves, and struggling with mum guilt, low energy, and loss of identity after motherhood:

The Fear Of Success.

We’ll explore:

• ✨What the fear of success really looks like for mums

  ✨ How it shows up in your energy, confidence, and body

  ✨ Why self-care, movement, and small wins can feel scary

  ✨ Simple, practical strategies to gently move through fear and start reclaiming your energy, identity, and confidence
  

  • 
    

• If you’ve ever thought:

• “I want to feel like myself again, but something is holding me back”

  
  

  “I want more energy, strength, and confidence, but I don’t know where to start” …then this episode is for you.

  
  ✨ Whether you’re a busy mum looking to reconnect with yourself, regain confidence, or simply build more energy and spark, this episode gives you the tools, mindset shifts, and encouragement to move forward — gently, sustainably, and with confidence.
