About
I want to help Mama’s that have lost their sense of self to learn to love themselves. I’m trying to do this by sharing moments along my own journey to regain my Gini-ness in the hopes I figure out the best ways to do it and inspire you to take care of yourself, nurture our mindsets and create a close community where we can support each other when it's tough.
Gini
In the last 3 years I have done A LOT.
First time pregnancy in the height of Covid.
Lost two family members.
Moved across Scotland.
Became a step mum to 3 kids under 10.
Fell pregnant again 5 months after having Joey.
Postpartum Depression.
I fell pregnant again so soon after giving birth, my body and mind both really weren’t ready to do it all again and hadn’t recovered from the first time!
I felt so out of touch with ‘real life’, everything about my pregnancy/birth/newborn journey was so different than I imagined due to the circumstances of the world.
It was tough.
Vision
I was lost. I’d lost all sense of myself. Although I was happy, my Gini-ness had faded and I was surviving each day rather than living it. I lived for everyone else but not me. It’s taken me nearly 3 years to figure out how to pull myself out of this rut and I want to help others do it better and quicker, or better yet not to fall into that rut at all!
And I truly believe that near enough every mother, heck every parent, feels like this a large chunk of the time. However, we can make it better by seeing each other, saying “You aren’t alone, that’s me also” and helping each other through the rough patches.
For that reason, I am so committed to building this community so that if any of you feels lost like I do then you have somewhere to visit to feel less alone and I hope you find inspiration to look after yourself again. It means we will always have people to turn to in hard moments when you just want to vent or feel seen.
