Mum, Breathe
A kind guide to the mental load, guilt and staying you.
Somewhere between the packed lunches, the permission slips and the 2am mental inventory of everyone else's needs, it is easy to misplace yourself. Mum, Breathe is about finding her again — not by adding one more thing to do, but by quietly putting a few things down.
This is not a book about doing motherhood better. You are already doing more than enough, and probably more than anyone can see. It is a book about the invisible work — the noticing, planning and remembering — and how to share it, shrink it, and stop measuring yourself against a mum who does not actually exist.
Short chapters, written to be read in stolen minutes, with the same warm, practical voice as the ParentUp app. No guilt. No shoulds. Just room to breathe.
