Founder of mamalinc, a mama of four, NICU nurse, baby expert, lactation and sleep consultant, annnd I don’t normally look like this because motherhood is hard.
I know firsthand how overwhelming, isolating, and just downright exhausting motherhood can feel sometimes. You love your kids more than anything but at the same time, you’re craving space, connection, and tools that actually support you as a whole person, not just as a mama.
So stop struggling alone –

mama… can we talk about the thing no one says out loud?
December is breaking mothers. Quietly. Silently. Every. Single. Year.
We’re told to “make it magical.”
Smile.
Say yes.
Be grateful.
Hold it all together.
Meanwhile you’re running on broken sleep, carrying the emotions of everyone around you, and trying not to crumble under the weight of expectations.
And the world still wonders why you’re overwhelmed!!
Today I’m breaking the silence - about the mental load of motherhood in December, the invisible pressure, and the truth behind the holiday photos.
This is the most important blog I’ve ever written.
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, stretched, unseen, or like you’re one meltdown away from losing it…
✨ Read this.
You are not alone.
You were never meant to carry this much.

Sushi? Soft cheese? Cold ham? A wine-soaked cheese board?
The forbidden foods hit DIFFERENT when you`re pregnant.
What did YOU miss most during pregnancy?

I thought it was just a drive to see the lights and a cute free Santa call… then I saw their faces. 🥹
@telstra ‘s free calls to Santa turned into one of those “they’re only little once” moments.
Note to self (and any other tired mums): they won’t remember what was under the tree as much as they’ll remember how it felt. 💫
Have you done this with your kids yet?

happy first christmas, little one. ✨
It’s wild how someone so tiny can make the whole world feel brand new.
This season hits different with you here - softer, slower, sweeter.
Every light twinkles a little brighter.
Every moment feels like a memory in the making.
Every version of me before this moment has quietly stepped aside…
so mama could take the lead.
This carousel is my little Christmas letter to you, my love - a snapshot of the magic you’ve brought into my life, a promise of how fiercely you’re held, and a reminder that even on the messy days… mama is right here, learning you, loving you, growing with you.
Merry first Christmas, little one.
love mama🎄❤️

Every December, some jolly dude in a red suit gets all the hype - meanwhile WE are the ones out here running the entire North Pole operation out of a Kmart tote bag and sheer willpower.
Here’s the real Christmas story no one puts on a Hallmark card:
🎅 Santa?
Shows up once.
Eats a cookie.
Drops some gifts ‘allegedly’
Leaves.
Absolute lightweight.
🤶 Mama?
Buys the presents.
Wraps the presents.
Remembers where the presents are hidden (mostly).
Decorates the tree.
Decorates the house.
Undecorates the house when the toddler “rearranges.”
Runs the calendar like an underpaid event manager.
Goes to every concert, parade, party, daycare picnic, end-of-year thing.
Cooks. Cleans. Shops. Hosts.
And manages that cursed Elf on the Shelf who really needs to start pulling their weight.
We ARE Santa.
We’re Santa’s boss, actually.
But somehow he’s the one with a whole global fan club while we’re melting into the couch whispering “it’s fine, I’m fine, everything’s fine” into our lukewarm mango daiquiri.
So here’s your annual reminder, mama:
✨ You are the magic.
✨ You make the memories.
✨ You bring Christmas to life - even when you’re running on crumbs and caffeine.
If Santa got the credit for everything you actually do?
He’d need to sit down. And hydrate. And maybe eat a full packet of Tim Tams!
mama you are the real MVP of Christmas.
Yeah… I see you. You’re iconic.
I got you, mama. 💖

This hurts!! Where did my last little baby go.
Time truly is a thief. My baby Hank, the 4th baby who completed our family in more ways than I ever thought. You brought me such joy in one of the hardest years I ever had. 💖💖💖

He’s back and I’m not sure how I feel about it.
Do you do elf on the shelf?
I love seeing the magic it brings to my kids but it can be a lot to do every night when all I want to do is go to bed 😂
I’ve been mentally preparing for weeks to get quick, easy ideas. So stay tuned for some simple, fast elf on the shelf ideas mamas.

We’re at the end of November, Mama…which means the Christmas countdown has officially begun. 🎄✨
And if you’re already feeling the pressure building: the plans, the invites, the expectations, the mental load... this is your gentle reminder:
You don’t have to “push through.”You don’t have to do it all. You don’t have to perform holiday joy for everyone else.
Motherhood is a full-time marathon by itself. The lead-up to Christmas shouldn’t feel like another one.
Choose the pace that feels safe for you and your baby.
Tag a mama who needs this reminder as December approaches 🩷
And follow @mamalinc for more real, grounded, guilt-free support. 🥰

The other day I got to MC Haakaa’s Maternity Health Professional Event and honestly? I walked off that stage buzzing. I felt powerful. I felt proud. I felt like me again.
New makeup (shoutout to @mcobeauty half-price sale at Woolies - ultimate mum hack unlocked), new outfit from @faytlabel (the girlies there hyped me like I was stepping into my CEO era)… it was the first time in a long time I actually liked who I saw in the mirror.
And then… the photos dropped. And my whole chest caved in.
In 0.2 seconds I went from
“Damn, I crushed that” → “I look disgusting.”
“I feel confident” → “I look huge.”
“I’m proud of myself” → “Why did I even show up like that?”
It was brutal.
And yeah, I cried.
But here’s the thing I’m trying painfully to unlearn:
My body isn’t ruining these moments.
My mind is.
The way I looked didn’t change how well I showed up.
It didn’t erase the magic of that day.
It didn’t suddenly make me less worthy, less professional, less powerful, less anything.
If you’ve ever had one photo sucker-punch your confidence… you’re not crazy, you’re not vain, and you’re definitely not alone.
We deserve to celebrate ourselves without tearing our bodies apart.
We deserve to show up as we are softer, squishier, stronger, changed and still claim our space and feel beautiful, confident and I’m going to say it… a MILF!
My body has made four babies.
It has survived, stretched, healed, broken, rebuilt.
It is not the villain in my story.
And I’m learning slowly to be kinder to the woman who’s carried me through every season.
If you’re in this chapter too… come sit with me. We’re figuring it out together.

I was so nervous for this yesterday…
But had the most amazing time and met some new incredible people.
Thank you so much for having me again to MC the Professional Maternity Health Event @haakaanz
