Here we find out all about her life, what it's like being a mum-of-two and how she maintains a positive relationship with social media.
There’s still a lot I am learning and experiencing for the first time and there is so much I have learned, lived through and loved. I’m excited to tell you all about it.My girls are 2 and 4 years old now and we have very much landed on new territory. I am still breastfeeding Ocean which means I’ve been going strong with my breastfeeding journey for 1501 days . That’s huge! I am also still running my breastfeeding clothing brand Chic and Discreet which I have exciting plans for moving forward .
There have been reels of mine with numbers and comments in the hundred-thousands and while I had learned not to compare myself to others online, I couldn’t help but keep up with my previous numbers. It was a brief period where social media wasn’t about my craft or connection, it was about collecting - more and more numbers.
I don’t post every day - which takes off the pressure I had as a content creator to ‘follow the rules’ and post everyday. And I don’t mind the numbers - Instagram now allows users to hide the numbers on their posts or to turn off the numbers in everyone else’s posts. I used these options now so it’s hard to be distracted by numbers.
