Hi there!

It's almost the middle of June... and I'm sending you my May monthly review! In my defence I'm still on maternity leave (until the end of the week).

I share these monthly reviews with you as a way to keep you in the loop of what I'm to + to inspire and encourage you to pause and reflect on where you're at too.

You can find more info on how I review my month, week, etc. in my goal-setting system. But if you want to DIY it, all you need is a notebook and a pen. Put a column down the middle of a page and write "Struggles" on one side and "Progress and joy" on the other. Then fill the columns in as you think back on the previous month.

Anyhoo, here's what I was up to in May! Hint: 👶🏻

May review

Struggles

• I had quite a few challenges after giving birth: intense after pains, blistered nipples and mastitis.
• I felt a bit frustrated by the lack of routine.
• I spent quite a while faffing on my phone and not feeling more relaxed for it.
• I struggled with the desire to work on my business, while feeling guilty about it + not really knowing how to rest.

Progress and joy

• I gave birth to Baby G!!! A big healthy baby (4.52 kg!) and a safe natural birth at home - more on that in an upcoming podcast episode.
• My partner and I started a shift system and got reasonable sleep.
• I made £442 from my cryptocurrencies.
• I decided not to breastfeed - a lot less drama than last time.
• All the follow-up appointments went well - my midwife even gave me a "hatched at home" painted pebble.
• Toddler J has taken to being a big brother very well. 🥰
• I've been enjoying thinking about my upcoming online course.
• I've also been enjoying nice quiet mornings before my partner and Toddler J wake up.
• Baby J is sleeping through more and more of my night-time "shift".
• I started to come up with a schedule for myself.
• My Saturday morning journaling friends gently "told me off" for feeling bad about not working and reassured me that it's okay to take a break.
