POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

8 weeks in and this is what I’ve learned…

I’m learning on the job.
Some things work, some absolutely flop. 😂
I overthink, I cringe, I post anyway.

No perfect strategy. No polished version.
Just me, figuring it out as I go.

Take it or leave it. ❤️

Thank you for being here and following my little life. 🥹

Hi, I’m Miriam 👋🏼❤️

A millennial mum in my early 40s, working, raising two kids and figuring it all out as I go.

I’m building a little corner of the internet that feels like me - real life, laughs, chaos and everything in between. 🫶🏼

Come along for the ride. I’d really appreciate your support and can’t wait to build a little community. ❤️

Now it’s your turn… 👇🏼
Tell me a little about YOU!🫶🏼

5 reasons a life coach could benefit you (as it’s benefitting me) as a working mum in your 40s… ❤️

1. You’ve lost a little bit of YOU.
You’re Mum, you’re working, you’re organising and remembering everything for everyone. Somewhere along the way, it’s easy to forget who you are outside those roles.

2. You’re tired of feeling like you’re failing.
The mum guilt, the pressure to do more at work, with the kids and at home. When is what you do enough?

3. Your brain NEVER switches off.
School runs, deadlines, meals, appointments and the endless mental load. Sometimes you need space to untangle your thoughts, not another task on your list.

4. You want to put yourself first without feeling guilty.
Looking after yourself isn’t selfish. Being a good mum doesn’t mean abandoning yourself in the process.

5. You don’t want the next ten years to look like the last ten.
You love your family, but you want to feel like YOU, too. You want to grow, discover what you want and make the most of this next chapter.

I’m 41, a working mum of two, and I’ve started seeing a life coach myself. Not because I have it all figured out, but because I don’t and I’m finally giving myself permission to work on ME, too. ❤️

A life coach isn’t going to magically fix everything, but having dedicated space to reflect, challenge your thinking and work out what you want can be incredibly valuable.

Have you ever considered seeing a life coach, or is it something you’ve never really thought about? 👇🏼

I’m 41, and here are the 7 things I wish someone had told me when I was 31… 👇🏼

1. You don’t have to make everyone happy. Some people won’t like you no matter how hard you try. Stop exhausting yourself trying to change their minds.

2. Stop putting yourself last. You can’t be everything to everyone without eventually losing yourself in the process.

3. Your kids don’t need a perfect mum. They need a mum who loves them, shows up, apologises when she gets it wrong and keeps trying. The house can wait. Childhood won’t. ❤️

4. Not every friendship is meant to last forever. You can love who someone was in your life and still outgrow them.

5. Your 30s are not your last chance. You’re allowed to reinvent yourself at any age. You can discover new passions, try new things, grow into a different version of yourself and realise that your best years might still be ahead of you.

6. Rest is not something you have to earn. You don’t need to finish the laundry, answer every email or complete your entire to-do list before you’re allowed to sit down.

7. Nobody is thinking about you as much as you think they are. Wear the outfit. Post the video. Try the thing. Stop letting imaginary judgement run your life.

The older I get, the more I realise that life isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about learning to give yourself the same love, patience and grace you give everyone else. ❤️

If you’re in your 30s, 40s or beyond, what’s one thing you wish you’d known ten years earlier? 👇🏼

Breaking generational cycles also means learning to heal yourself. ❤️

We put so much pressure on ourselves to be better mums that sometimes we forget to show ourselves the same compassion we give our children.

If you’re trying to do things differently, remember these 3 things:

❤️ 1. Give yourself grace. You’re learning things you may never have been taught.

❤️ 2. Understand your triggers. Your reactions can come from old wounds. Recognising them is where change begins.

❤️ 3. Choose repair over perfection. Apologise, reconnect and keep learning. You don’t have to get everything right.

Your children don’t need a perfect mum. And you don’t need to punish yourself for being a work in progress.

You can be a good mum and still be healing. 🫶🏼

Be proud of the cycle you’re breaking, but remember to be kind to the person doing the healing, too. ❤️

School mornings with a 5-year-old are a whole different level of chaos 😂🤯

Just trying to get through the school run as a busy working mum, get everyone dressed, out the door and to school on time… and apparently my child has other plans. 😭😂

Tell me your mornings are chaotic without telling me your mornings are chaotic! Please tell me it’s not just my child. 👀😂

Being a sleep-deprived working mum is basically a full-time job fuelled by caffeine ☕️

Between work, school runs, parenting and the endless mum brain moments, I genuinely can’t remember what I walked into a room for… and now you’re telling me coffee might be making it worse?! 😭😂

Please tell me I’m not the only mum surviving on coffee and chaos! ☕️🤦🏼‍♀️

When the group chat finally makes it out into the real world… 🍷✈️ 🇪🇸

Mums who bonded over the trauma inflicted on us by our children, finally taking a very well-earned trip to Seville. 😂❤️

Good food, good wine, lie ins and absolutely no one shouting “Muuuum!” for a few days. 🇪🇸

Real life as a working mum of two…

Between work, school runs, motherhood, cooking, cleaning and endless laundry, keeping a tidy house is a full-time job in itself! 🫠

If your home is a mess and you’re juggling working mum life, kids and household chaos, you’re not alone.

Real homes, real motherhood and the beautiful mess of family life. 🫶🏼 taken in London, United Kingdom by @the.happy.hunter
