My why

I know what it’s like to be in love with motherhood but not feel like yourself anymore.

​

Before kids, I was climbing the career ladder at speed. After becoming a mum, that version of me seemed to disappear overnight. I went from thriving on challenge to constantly dropping balls, my confidence and ambition quietly slipping away. I adore being a mum (it’s my favourite job in the world!), but losing the part of me that was driven and creative made me feel like a failure.

​

Then came the realisation that the jokes about me being ADHD might have some truth to them. The brain I’d spent years masking was suddenly overwhelmed; every symptom seemed to be exacerbated. Add in the crushing mum guilt and endless comparison to other mums who seemed to be “doing it all,” and I was burning out faster than my coffee could go cold.

​

That’s why I created Lost to Lit Up, to give you what I wish I’d had when I returned to work after maternity leave: a space to understand yourself, your brain, and your needs, so you can make confident decisions that actually fit your life, your family, and your future.

​

Because you deserve to have the best of both worlds: to be a brilliant mum AND feel lit up by the work that makes you you.
