If the mental tabs never stop whirring…this is your permission slip to hit pause and let some of it go.

 

This guided visualisation is for the moments when your mind feels full to the brim – overflowing with the constant to-dos, mental tabs, emotional labour, and invisible responsibilities that come with being a Mum.
If you’re reading in July 2025, as the summer holidays creep closer, it may feel especially relevant right now. Life is noisier, time is tighter, and your capacity might already feel stretched.
But as I’m sure you’ll agree – the maternal mental load is not a seasonal phenomenon. It tends to show up and weigh heavily on us at any given moment throughout the year – so I hope this visualisation feels supportive whenever you happen to stumble across it!
What you’re carrying is real, it’s valid and it can feel heavy.

So, this mindful practice is designed to be a gentle pause – a way to slow down, step out of the mental chaos, to get really honest about what’s on your mind…and more importantly, what YOU need.

Through this visualisation, you’ll be guided to

  • Gently name and release the mental load you’re carrying
  • Get clear on what truly matters and what you need right now
  • And step into the quiet confidence of communicating those needs

Because you deserve to be supported and feel seen and heard. And you don’t have to carry it all alone.

After Listening: Reflect & Reclaim

Once you’ve listened, you may like to take a moment to ground your insights with a little journaling. These prompts are here to help you find clarity and shape next steps that feel tangible, motivating and aligned to your needs:

  • What am I holding that I don’t need to carry alone?
  • What do I need most right now? And what would it look like to honour that?
  • What truly matters to ME in this season?
  • Who can I ask for help? How might I clearly express that?

Please take this moment just for you, as freely and often as you need. And let yourself be held within a sense of spaciousness you deeply deserve.

Lots of love, Tamsin xx
