The Real Reason Mums Feel Behind in the New Year

In this video, I’m talking about why January doesn’t need to be a fast, fresh start, especially if you’re feeling exhausted after December. I share a gentler way to approach the new year, treating January as a transition month rather than a sprint and how focusing on just one area of your life can create more calm and momentum without the pressure of “new year, new me.”

If you’re ready to bring this same calm, intentional approach into the new year, you can download my free workbook. It walks you through planning your 2026 in a realistic, grounded way and helps you break your goals down into small, achievable steps that actually fit into mum life.

When you download the workbook, you’ll also be able to join the waitlist for my course, The Calm Mum Blueprint. Everyone on the waitlist will receive a special bonus if you join before 1st January. If you want a more aligned, organised, and calmer year ahead, make sure you’re on that list.

Welcome! I'm Rhianna. I help Mums adapt with their perfectionism and process the identity changes motherhood brings. Through goals setting, systems and mindset tools you can live a calmer, more organised life.

Just over 6 years ago, I thought I’d planned out my motherhood journey (hello many spreadsheets!) but unfortunately life didn’t get my memo. After a traumatic birth, personal identity breakdown plus a global pandemic, I really had to figure out how to look after my mental health, figure out who I was now that my life was so different as well as being a Mum to my 2 amazing boys.

If you’d like more support, you’ll find the link to The Calm Mum Blueprint below. It’s a short, practical programme designed to help perfectionist mums create calmer routines, supportive systems, and more space for themselves without the pressure to do everything perfectly.
