Integrating mindfulness to support mental health in the busy day to day of parenthood!
Join me, a busy mum of 3, as I explore the ways in which mindfulness helps me and can help you with parenting, self care and juggling everything!
65. What to do when parenting becomes overwhelming.
Today I'm shining a spotlight on overwhelm as a parent. When things become challenging and you can feel yourself slipping. When anxiety, depression OCD and other mental health problems start to come out the woodwork because all of the additional things going on what do you do?
Today I talk about my personal experience when it comes to noticing that I am slipping on meeting my basic needs and how to reset, start from scratch and introduce self care to start filling your cup back up and supporting yourself.
If you are or someone you know is struggling please seek support from your GP or other mental health line such as 111 option 2, Samaritans, Mind or Young Minds amongst others. If there is immediate danger please call 999.

64. Midsummer holiday check in, what’s been working and what hasn’t!
This summer is going fast, but I thought whilst I had a moment i'd touch base and let you know how it's going, because being completely honest it's not been the easiest!
With sensory overwhelm and lack of unwinding time of my own it has been a challenge, so I thought I'd give you a few ideas of where things are at and what I've done to support myself through it!
Let me know in the comments if there's anything you've been doing to support yourself that's worth trying!

63. Using Mindfulness to support Neurodivergence.
Using Mindfulness to support Neurodivergence, whether ADHD or ASD is not something that many of us would naturally turn to. However, mindfulness can support ADHD and ASD in children and adults alike in many different ways.
Today I talk about challenges as a Neurodivergent adult when using mindfulness, as well as some ways in which you can start to integrate mindfulness to support your neurodivergent children.
I also give you all you need to know about the finally published, self led, Helping Children with Mindfulness Course. a course designed to help you to begin to recognise your child's natural anchors and begin to integrate them into daily life in order to develop both a physical and mental mental health toolkit to adapt and support them through life. head to https://happylittlefutures.co.uk/courses to find out more!
