I've lived with Chronic Migraine and Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) since 2014. I’ve also had to manage Anxiety for many years.
I was a Primary School Teacher, Early Years Specialist and Mentor before I became disabled and mostly bed-bound from cruel and constant pain.
I share my experiences and provide tools and strategies to help Mums manage their live with invisible illnesses.
All in well-being
This story is about the impact chronic pain conditions have had on my life. I have a rare brain disease called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension or IIH, as well as Migraine, Hypothyroidism, Depression and Anxiety. The strategies I’ve used help me feel like a strong Mum as I emerge with my story despite the challenges I still face.
This exclusive guide is for every mum, regardless of how old or young your kids are. I am sharing how I learnt about wellness and well-being to help me look after myself and prioritise my family when I had to make myself priority for my physical and mental health. This guide supports you to make simple mindset shifts for better well-being for you and your family to build solid foundations for well-being for life.
Practical ways to talk about race with your child.
Children as young as three recognise race so I’m sharing my experiences of teaching children and teens about race and cultural diversity. I acknowledge you may find this uncomfortable but hope that as mothers we can come together and lift up different races and cultures in your community. By taking action by learning and talking to others over a long period of time, you and your child will continue to learn and talk about race and racism. I’ll share practical examples and tools to help you talk about race with your child.
I’ve dealt with overthinking, overwhelm and high anxiety levels since I became a mother. Many mums go through this but we all experience it differently. We also have low level stressors that can tip the balance. So I’m sharing a simple way of prioritising so you can be more focused on just one thing. These simple strategies mean that you will have some knowledge of the tools for coping with anxiety so you can stay calm and remain positive, whatever chronic illness life throws at you.
