Hello & Welcome

4th June 2026

This is my first ever blog post and, if I’m being honest, hitting “Publish” feels a little taunting. But after spending so much time thinking about starting this space, I’ve realised there’s no perfect time to begin so here we are!

TMI became a thing of the past and all those deep rooted, taboo feeling questions could be answered by friends with no judgement! It also made us realise how isolated and alone a lot of new parents feel so here I am trying to make some lonely feel part of a community! Whether you’re a parent, a home cook, a gardener or just looking for something to read in your downtime, I hope I can help you feel a little less alone.

Like a lot of parents, I found the postpartum period far more difficult than I expected. One of the hardest parts was realising that the ‘village’ we’re often told will be there, isn’t what it used to be. However, I made my own village with my ‘Mum Club’; just a group of friends I knew from school who happened to have babies around the same time, and everything changed.

If you love a podcast, I discuss my postpartum experience on the Females Thriving over Thirty podcast here: https://embed.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/postpartum-the-unspoken-truth/id1714682884?i=1000715994239

Amongst trying to navigate this new chapter of my life, I have rediscovered my love for gardening, cooking and just trying to give my son a magical childhood and I’m glad you’re here for wherever this journey might lead!

Thank you for stopping by and reading my first post and here’s to this next chapter!
