Equestrian Mum Diaries

In this episode, I talk about why I felt ready to start sharing again - not because life is neat or perfectly together, but because I wanted to speak more honestly about motherhood, horses, and everything that sits in between. Turns out it has not only helped others, but it has helped me as well. I share my thoughts on social media, the pressure to look like you’re coping, and what it means to find your voice and identity again, but this time as an equestrian mum.

In this episode, I speak about maternal mental health and the invisible weight that so many mums carry every single day. I talk about the mental load of motherhood, the pressure of trying to hold everything together, and how easy it can be to lose yourself somewhere in the middle of it all. As an equestrian mum, there is often so much to juggle — children, horses, home, work, and the constant feeling that you should be doing more. This is a gentle, honest conversation about that reality, and a reminder that your mental health matters too.

In this episode, I talk about the guilt we carry as equestrian mums - the guilt of wanting time with our horses, the guilt of feeling pulled in different directions, and the guilt that can come from trying to be everything to everyone. I share my thoughts on motherhood, identity, and the emotional tug of balancing family life with the parts of yourself that still matter deeply. If you have ever felt torn between your children, your horses, and yourself, this one is for you.
