The internet usually only gives you 30-60 seconds to get to know someone... so here's a little bit more about me. 💛

I'm a mum of two, a wife, someone who's spent years in survival mode, and someone who's finally learning that it's okay not to have everything figured out.

I've made mistakes, struggled with the mental load of parenting, worried about money, questioned myself as a mum, and spent far too long putting everyone else before myself.

You'll mostly know me for talking about council housing, mutual exchanges, home renovations and challenging the stereotypes that come with them... but there's so much more to me than that.

The reason I share so much online is because I know how lonely life can feel when you think you're the only one going through something.

If even one of these slides made you think, "That's me too," then I'm really glad you're here. 🫶

So tell me...
❤️ Which slide did you relate to the most?
👇 And if you've followed me for a while, what made you hit the follow button in the first place?

Oh the impulsive dopamine spending 😖 that’s me 😩 I’ve booked holidays I can’t afford and end up losing deposits all because I book without thinking! X
