Hi Mama,
My kids just turned 5, and it’s hard to believe how quickly time flies! This age holds special significance for us as parents because it marks the beginning of a new chapter for our little ones—their educational journey is about to kick off as they start school.
Hi Mama,
Today, we’re diving deep into the topic of mom burnout. As a clinical psychologist and mom of twins, I know just how overwhelming and exhausting motherhood can be. So, let’s sit down, grab a cup of coffee (or tea), and have a heart-to-heart conversation about this important issue.
Parenting Twins Age 5 and Below: My Personal Insights Hi Mama, There’s this saying I’ve often heard – “The years are short and the days are long” – and trust me, it couldn’t ring more true when it comes to raising twins! The Science and Stats To kickstart our discussion,
Hi mama, Winter is officially here (in NZ anyway)! Last week I shared 8 tips on how to prepare for the silly sickness season. This week, I’m sharing with you tips from my high-school friend, pediatrician and mum of two on how to prepare and get through this winter. Here are her
Hi mama, Winter is officially here and I don’t know about you but I’m dreading June and July. Every single year since my twins were born we were always sick in winter with all sorts of viral and bacterial infections. Kids are truly the ultimate cesspit of germs. Pre-kids, I had
Hi mama, As busy moms, it’s easy to fall into the trap of putting everyone else’s needs ahead of our own. But when we neglect our own well-being, we run the risk of burning out and feeling overwhelmed. That’s why I wanted to share an important podcast episode with you
Hi mama, Happy Mother’s Month! As I celebrate all the amazing mums out there, I’m excited to announce my final giveaway for Empowermum’s Mother’s Month. This time, I’m giving away a copy of “Do Less” by Kate Northrup, a book that will help you embrace self-care, reduce stress, and achieve
Hi Mama, How was your mother’s day? I hope you were pampered and spoiled because let’s face it – you’re a superhero! I think it’s lousy to just celebrate being a mom for one day. That is why we’re going to keep celebrating YOU for the rest of the month
Hi mama, I’m excited to announce the first Empowermums Mother’s Month giveaway! A lot of my clients know that I love books. I’ve joked that half of the time I do “bibliotherapy” of recommending books as a treatment method. I think books can be very powerful in inspiring change in our
Hi mama, It’s Perinatal Mental Health Awareness week! And Mother’s day is coming up in two weeks. Why celebrate being a mum for one day when we should celebrate for the whole month? Let’s celebrate all aspects of motherhood and officially call May our “Mother’s Month”. I have exciting freebies
Hi mama, One of the best things I bought in the past was a gratitude diary. I challenged my self to do a mini habit of writing 1 thing I’m grateful for everyday. This is training my brain to look for the positive in my life and highlighting the richness
Hi mama, I’m sure you’ve heard of mindfulness. The word is everywhere now and it seems that everyone is doing it. What is mindfulness? One of my favourite definition is by a well-known researcher and ‘guru’ of this subject, Jon Kabat-Zinn: “Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on
One of my favourite quotes is “You cannot pour from an empty cup”. As mums, we tend to do everything for everyone and have ourselves on the bottom of the list. However, we cannot run on an empty tank and most mums get to a point where they are exhausted, burned
One of my favourite part of my job is working with children and adults with neurodiversity! The last few years there has been a huge increase in awareness about ADHD and ASD in children, and more recently (thanks to Tik Tok!) more awareness about adult ADHD. While Dr Google is
As a Clinical Psychologist specializing in maternal mental health I’m passionate in empowering you with information about your mental health. I’m grateful for the opportunity to do a podcast episode with Dr Angela Lim from Clearhead to talk about my favourite topic! In the first part of this episode I
Self-care can feel like another thing on the never ending to do list, but mums who don’t prioritize their wellbeing are at a very high risk of burnout. Burnout is when you feel emotionally and physically exhausted, and this increases the chance of physical and mental health issues. Mum burnout
“Here are two arms and two legs” . My husband and I cooed at the gray blops on the tv screen, we held hands excitedly looking at our new baby. “And here are another two arms and two legs”, the sonographer said casually and matter-of-factly. I laughed a little and
It’s been over a week of lockdown (again) in Auckland due to COVID-19 level 3 restrictions, and I am getting bored. I’m running out of ideas on how to entertain my 2 now two- year old toddlers so I’ve been researching online for lockdown activities that we can do together.
You know that self-care is important for you, and you’ve been hearing me preach “Self-care is not selfish, It’s essential”. You may be rolling your eyes when you hear that and think “I know! I just don’t have the time!” I get it. As a mum you are wearing multiple
I had my first ultrasound scan when I was 12 weeks pregnant. I scheduled an hour off work, and walked across the road to the ultrasound clinic. I was feeling excited and nervous, and met my husband there who had taken a couple hours off work. The sonographer called my
