Calm the Chaos -Understanding Intrusive Thoughts and Anxiety in Motherhood
Have you ever thought 'Why did I just think that scary thought?!'
Intrusive thoughts and anxiety are incredibly common in Motherhood, yet they’re rarely spoken about.

- Why anxiety and spiralling thoughts often show up in motherhood (and how they can actually be helpful!)
- Simple, practical tools to help you calm your mind in the moment
- How to reframe and remind yourself: I am not broken. I am more than my thoughts.
This workshop is for mums at all stages of Motherhood who want to feel more supported, less anxious and connected to a like-minded community of Mums.
