Hi, I’m Jenna, a Coach for Mums and a mum of three.
I’d love to share my story with you of not only coming home to myself, but finding out who I always was and realising who I wanted to be.
It wasn’t until I was a mum that I had the confidence to start living the life I really wanted to live. I think finding that inner drive, motivation and self-belief came directly from motherhood too.
For me, experiencing the lowest of lows when I had post-natal anxiety after my second child in 2018 and my year-long recovery from that, put me in a place where I realised I had to let go of the life that I thought I should be living.
The life where I was ticking the boxes of what everyone else did, because I thought that’s just what you did. The life that was fuelled by perfectionism, overwhelm, comparison and self-criticism.
Instead, I wanted to live a life that felt good to me. A life where I felt fulfilled, creative, happier, calmer, able to enjoy my kids more but also able to be more me.
So, I got clear on what was really important to me, what I enjoyed and what got me excited.
I made the decision to prioritise myself and focus on my dreams.
I took action and believed in myself. Time and time again.
Step by step, that’s how I rebuilt my life, to one that felt good to me.
That looked like:
- retraining as a Coach
- setting up a monthly self-care group for mums in my local community
- doing corporate talks about self-care and well-being
- taking time for myself everyday to do something I loved
- replacing my inner critic with self-compassion
And now?
I’m a Qualified Coach for Mums, I write all about motherhood on my Substack, The Motherhood Connection, I host my own podcast and I run retreats for mums.
This is pretty much what I dreamed I’d be doing!
I had my 3rd child in 2022 and I’m happier now than I’ve ever been. Why?
I took the time to reflect on what was important to me and took action to make my goals a reality. I feel fulfilled, creative and proud – all of the relationships in my life benefit from me feeling like this too.
I’m sharing you my story because I want to show you what is possible for you. Even if you are a busy mum. Even if you don’t believe in yourself right now.
Now, I love supporting mums with young kids to go from feeling overwhelmed and exhausted to feeling calmer and happier.
We work together to talk about what you really want and need, set feel good goals and take small (totally do-able) steps, that create long-lasting positive change.
My previous clients have gone from feeling:
- overwhelmed
- stressed
- exhausted
- angry
to instead;
- finding clarity on the things that really matter to them
- feeling more positive and confident
- feeling happier and content
- increased self-confidence
- having more positive relationships with their families
- able to take time out for themselves
If you’d like to chat about how I can support you to make positive changes in your life, I’d love to hear from you – let’s have a virtual cuppa together to chat more.
P.S. If you’d like an idea of how I work with mums, here’s how you can get some freebies that I’ve created just for you.
A little bit more about me…
I live by the sea in South Wales with my husband and 3 children and once my kids are finally asleep, I love reading romance books or crocheting a huge colourful blanket.
My ideal day would involve a lie in, breakfast in my fave coffee shop, spending an hour or two in a bookshop, the afternoon walking on the beach with my family and then curling up to read one of my many unread books on my Kindle, in the evening.
