You dream of having a few extra hours in the day to finally accomplish all the things you’re supposed to do. But what if more time wasn’t the solution? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/4e95f0a1-e2ba-4369-b1ac-1f75133a3171/mother+and+child+in+nature.png Blog - Why More Time Is Not Necessarily the Solution to Mum’s Burnout - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/11235bfe-4329-4cff-852a-da786d90c2e4/woman+working+focused.png Blog - Why More Time Is Not Necessarily the Solution to Mum’s Burnout - If, when sitting at your desk in the morning, you set the intention to advance on a specific project, you’re far less likely to get distracted (the more precise you are about your final outcome, the better). But if you have no plan at all, you’ll open your emails and you might get trapped for hours replying to requests that weren’t urgent. Similarly, if you decide that this afternoon you’re going to spend at least one hour playing with your child and being fully present, you’re less likely to get pulled away by the plates piling up in the sink or by a notification popping up on your phone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/450c31f0-4be9-4dd6-bd7a-5bfdf9cf8ee7/woman+overworked.png Blog - Why More Time Is Not Necessarily the Solution to Mum’s Burnout - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/2a175840-46b4-477b-827c-be99d2286ebc/mother+stretching+with+child.png Blog - Why More Time Is Not Necessarily the Solution to Mum’s Burnout - Exercise is a non-negotiable. Not only for your physical health, but for your mental health too! Yet so many mothers skip it. I’ve met countless women who exercised regularly before having children and stopped after welcoming their first child. That makes total sense, especially when children are very young and the days feel chaotic. Yes, there are options to exercise with kids. Yet, having attended “mum-and-bub” pilates classes myself, I can say that if you manage to squeeze in 10 minutes of actual exercise during the session, you’re lucky. Most of the time was spent breastfeeding and cuddling baby… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/79e80279-d98a-4f4f-92e2-fad796516057/women+painting.png Blog - Why More Time Is Not Necessarily the Solution to Mum’s Burnout - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/behind-mums-overwhelm monthly 0.5 2026-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/b5be26aa-199f-4488-bd46-5f54a85e6bb0/woman+overwhelmed.png Blog - What Hides Behind Mums’ Overwhelm - “Overwhelm.” It’s a word mums use frequently... That sense of overload and strain that comes with the balancing act of juggling work, home, and the kids, while never quite getting to the end of your to-do list. The exhaustion, the mental fog, and yet the need to keep pushing through the day without really knowing how you’re gonna make it. Behind the phrase “I’m overwhelmed” lies a wide range of experiences that don’t all look the same or have the same causes. In this blog, we explore what overwhelm really means in motherhood, how it shows up, and why understanding it more deeply can be incredibly relieving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/fa37845d-065a-4293-932f-16d227e2c9c7/mother+overwhelmed.png Blog - What Hides Behind Mums’ Overwhelm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/b65ba0e3-67a4-4373-a74b-ea7d8b2caba8/woman+headphones.png Blog - What Hides Behind Mums’ Overwhelm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/681cc281-c472-45f6-b979-41cce4956c4a/mother+grocery+shopping.png Blog - What Hides Behind Mums’ Overwhelm - There can also be information overload, often linked to the pressure to do things “right,” which inevitably leads to decision fatigue. You search for the right parenting advice, the right career move, the right practitioner for your child…and the more options you gather, the more confused you are! As you can see, mental overload can take many forms and therefore needs to be addressed differently depending on your situation. But as a general rule, I invite you to explore where you could cut yourself some slack and let go of perfectionism. Also see if you can free yourself from external expectations, and reconnect with your own values so you can focus on what truly matters to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/33f1a504-2536-4dc4-a9e3-05a6aa0f3fa7/mother+comforting+child.png Blog - What Hides Behind Mums’ Overwhelm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/a614db86-508c-4216-a77e-11c0f1596ead/mother+tired+and+overwhelmed.png Blog - What Hides Behind Mums’ Overwhelm - Now, let’s dive into what really lies behind mums’ overwhelm. Because yes, there is overstimulation, yes there is the cognitive and emotional load, all the mental juggling… but all of this has deeper roots. For instance, when you’re feeling on edge, like the slightest noise could set you off, it’s often because you’ve reached your physical limits. That general sense of irritation at everything can be a sign that you’re getting very close to burnout. And that’s likely because the weight you’re carrying is simply too heavy for one person to hold alone. There may be resentment from being the sole carrier of the invisible load. Maybe there have been frustrated attempts to make your partner aware of this load, leaving you feeling unseen and misunderstood (Eva Rado tackles this topic in her latest blog post). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/fa9ef0c1-63ff-4c71-8465-cabd355c8ce1/Happy+Family.png Blog - What Hides Behind Mums’ Overwhelm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/c60d742d-1fe5-4d21-af8a-073b53c9c0b2/mother+organising+clothes+with+daughter.png Blog - What Hides Behind Mums’ Overwhelm - By no longer comparing yourself to the version of an ideal mother that cannot exist, you can begin to release some of the weight that fuels overwhelm. Part of this may involve lowering your standards, but it also means asking for support, setting boundaries, and placing your own needs on an equal footing with everyone else’s needs at home. In a nutchell, if you’re overwhelmed, it’s because you’re carrying too much. It’s not because you’re doing it wrong. And no, other mums don’t have it all together either!!! They might look like they’re juggling everything perfectly but everyone has its own challenges, even when they’re not visible. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/self-boundaries-for-mums monthly 0.5 2026-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/0f39b017-4d70-4e52-863e-8f4f04c8b4e3/New+Year+Resolutions.png Blog - Self-Boundaries for Working Mums: Keeping the Promises you Made to Yourself - We’re a few weeks into 2026, and with the new year often comes a batch of resolutions: going to the gym, cutting out junk food, starting a meditation routine… The new year brings the promise of a fresh start and makes us believe that this time we’ll stick to the plan. Unfortunately, most of us rarely do. This blog is about self-boundaries, specifically the ones we set around how we manage our time. It’s about the things you promised yourself you’d stop doing but find yourself repeating over and over. I’ll explore why these boundaries are so important for maintaining a balanced life as a working mum, why they’re so hard to keep, and what we can do about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/c070f865-bd30-48d0-9341-0e24889efa16/Mother+playing+with+children.png Blog - Self-Boundaries for Working Mums: Keeping the Promises you Made to Yourself - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/8329da30-5577-4487-ad7d-fe1b627a844c/Mother+checking+her+phone.png Blog - Self-Boundaries for Working Mums: Keeping the Promises you Made to Yourself - When you set a boundary, you’re not only making space for something that matters, you’re also giving up something else. And that’s why it’s hard to keep them! Even if your choice seems obvious on the surface, there may be something deeper that’s hard to let go (e.g., the desire to be a “perfect” mum or a fear of disappointing others). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/22eafe14-ece3-4258-acfb-042558a0dbd4/woman+disappointed+in+herself.png Blog - Self-Boundaries for Working Mums: Keeping the Promises you Made to Yourself - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/36031e86-8d5c-4be7-8e88-100da32b6ce3/woman+meditating+in+the+office.png Blog - Self-Boundaries for Working Mums: Keeping the Promises you Made to Yourself - First, be crystal clear on why you’re setting the boundary for yourself. For example, if you decide to stop scrolling on your phone before bed simply because “everyone says it’s a bad habit,” that boundary is unlikely to stick. By contrast, if you put your phone away before bedtime because you’ve noticed scrolling affects your sleep quality and you want to wake up feeling energised, that’s a much stronger motivator. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/bb676bda-d4c7-4a5e-b2a1-490f034f4ef3/healthy+food.png Blog - Self-Boundaries for Working Mums: Keeping the Promises you Made to Yourself - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/beyond-motherhood-daily-overwhelm monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1a9cf14a-1c98-4fee-9687-8e2c0d963929/Pause+and+reflect.png Blog - How to Pause and Reflect Beyond the Daily Overwhelm of Motherhood - We’re approaching the end of the year, and as a mum you’re probably wrapped up in preparing the festivities and creating magical moments for your little ones. Or maybe you’re not even there yet because your head is underwater at work with everything you need to finish before going on leave… And if I asked you about your plans for the new year? Would your answer be a big sigh followed by, “I can’t think that far, let me just survive today”? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/0edc89f5-d904-4d5e-8cff-21520a4d90a0/Child+with+spilled+milk.png Blog - How to Pause and Reflect Beyond the Daily Overwhelm of Motherhood - The demands that modern society places on mothers are so huge that it’s not surprising that approximately 20% of mums experience parental burnout (Séjourné et al., 2018), a state characterised by chronic exhaustion, emotional depletion, and a loss of identity. And maybe you’re not in full burnout yourself, but you can still feel the pressure of the daily juggle weighing on your shoulders, to the point where your life is just one giant to-do list and you can’t see beyond it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/59b81159-f07f-40c2-9b0c-2d279b78c708/Mother+overwhelmed+Christmas.png Blog - How to Pause and Reflect Beyond the Daily Overwhelm of Motherhood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/f04745d3-640d-4543-8add-d35886c53f45/Woman+looking+out+the+window.png Blog - How to Pause and Reflect Beyond the Daily Overwhelm of Motherhood - Taking a step back and creating quiet moments to take stock will allow you to make more intentional choices. Research has shown that the unreasonable pressures society places on mothers may contribute to parental burnout (Collins-Belcher, 2024). Mothers who strive for perfection based on these external standards are more prone to burnout, while those who follow their own beliefs feel less stressed. Moments of reflection are essential for checking whether some of your expectations might actually be external, and whether you can let them go. When you give yourself enough space to think clearly, you may realise you’ve been pouring energy into things that aren’t truly important. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/00566665-6ecd-4ccd-afb4-b67c48ec8f5d/Christmas+cookies.png Blog - How to Pause and Reflect Beyond the Daily Overwhelm of Motherhood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/4208fb24-c6f5-4cf9-8de7-b71b339c3a9b/woman+vision+board.png Blog - How to Pause and Reflect Beyond the Daily Overwhelm of Motherhood - This time of year naturally invites us to look back on the past 12 months and set intentions for the year ahead. It’s an exercise that can take anywhere from half an hour to a few days, a chance to think deeply about your dreams, aspirations, and the path you want to take. Of course, you don’t need to wait for the new year to do this kind of reflection. Asking yourself what you want in life and whether you’re on the right track is always beneficial. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/339dadc5-60a5-46fe-967b-d9aaf7843458/mothers+discussing.png Blog - How to Pause and Reflect Beyond the Daily Overwhelm of Motherhood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/b1550cd1-a4e9-47eb-bdc3-4e279b3154c0/woman+sitting+peacefully.png Blog - How to Pause and Reflect Beyond the Daily Overwhelm of Motherhood - I know that even five minutes of silence can feel like a big ask given your schedule. But I hope I’ve convinced you that this time is never wasted. By taking small, regular breaks, you step out of fight-or-flight mode and can reassess your to-do list from a grounded place. You can decide what to let go of, which boundaries needs to be set, and what is truly worth your time and effort. I hope you enter 2026 with calm and purpose, ready to pursue whatever it is you aspire for this year. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/fun-in-the-middle-of-the-juggle monthly 0.5 2025-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/66dc8723-09a8-4f13-a09f-33d02f39b2e0/Mother+and+Child+Giggle+Cuddle.png Blog - How to Have Fun with Your Kids in the Middle of the Daily Juggle - Before becoming a mum, what did you imagine motherhood would be like? Tickles and giggles with your child, warm cuddles, playful walks in nature, maybe sharing one of your passions with them? A multitude of simple moments that fill your heart with joy… But somehow, those moments often get lost in the day-to-day. The rush to get everyone ready for school, prepping dinner, managing bath time. The nagging, the meltdowns, the endless reminders about screen-time limits… Having fun as a family is not as easy as it seems! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/ca6a4aff-130b-40f4-b910-04b6b412630b/Fun+family+dinner.png Blog - How to Have Fun with Your Kids in the Middle of the Daily Juggle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/b79b9b67-6370-485f-b619-1b2c34811ebc/woman+hands+on+heart.png Blog - How to Have Fun with Your Kids in the Middle of the Daily Juggle - You can’t be a fun mum if you’re exhausted and stressed out. Connection comes from presence, and you simply can’t be present if your mind is racing with worries about everything that needs to be done, or replaying that nasty comment your coworker made today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/e4c3b18d-5fdf-4075-b540-972ac2ffdde1/mother+and+daughter+having+fun.png Blog - How to Have Fun with Your Kids in the Middle of the Daily Juggle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/63fcc18c-aaca-47d2-a382-272e97e0faf6/woman+setting+mindful+intentions.png Blog - How to Have Fun with Your Kids in the Middle of the Daily Juggle - Being intentional also means regularly asking yourself what matters most. Do you need to get out the door right now, or can you spend 5 minutes engaging in your child’s silly play? Do you really need to stick to the routine, or can you make an exception to accommodate your child’s spontaneous idea? If they engage in messy play (cooking, crafts, etc.), can you close your eyes to the mess and simply enjoy the moment? I suggest spending 2 minutes in the morning, and maybe 2 minutes after work (just before going home or picking up the kids), to breathe and remind yourself of your intentions for the day. Just a few minutes to recenter yourself and rechannel your energy toward what you’ve chosen to prioritise. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/never-enough-hours-for-working-mums monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/ab8fde89-4c68-4425-873b-d01a486efaa9/mother+exhausted.png Blog - Why There Never Seems to Be Enough Hours in the Day? (and What Working Mums Can Do About It) - Do you ever get to the end of the day and wonder where your time went? You’ve been running non-stop, cleaning up spilt milk, answering phone calls, driving the kids to their activities… yet it somehow feels like you haven’t achieved much at all. And now, you’re completely exhausted. If so, you're amongst the 70% of women who almost always feel rushed and pressured for time (according to the data from a 2010 Australian survey). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/a1f86bae-aff6-4860-b089-5539522638f1/mother+multitasking.png Blog - Why There Never Seems to Be Enough Hours in the Day?

(and What Working Mums Can Do About It) - Beyond the cognitive side of the invisible load, there’s also the emotional side. When you worry about your child struggling to make friends at school, when you manage meltdowns and sibling conflicts, or when you spend hours scrolling for parenting tips… that too takes time and energy! Most parts of the invisible load never make it onto your to-do list (after all, they’re invisible!), yet you do them anyway… they just go unacknowledged! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/66d24fa4-a6c7-461c-a441-9053110b8fdc/woman+multitasking.png Blog - Why There Never Seems to Be Enough Hours in the Day?

(and What Working Mums Can Do About It) - But I invite you to look at your schedule and ask yourself if there are blocks of time you could allocate to a single task. Maybe it’s four hours a day, maybe it’s only one hour, whatever seems feasible. See if you can use time-blocking to carve out some uninterrupted time for focused work. The goal is for you to complete one meaningful task and feel that sense of accomplishment. Similarly, try to create moments with your children when you’re fully present. Even if it’s just 15 minutes a day! If these are 15 minutes of quality time that you all enjoy, they can act as a much-needed breathing space in your day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1d5bd688-f271-4bc2-a9fe-5e0fe70c9064/Mother+Pilates.png Blog - Why There Never Seems to Be Enough Hours in the Day?

(and What Working Mums Can Do About It) - It’s easy to think that if you were more efficient or more organised, you’d be able to fit more into your day. While I agree that time management skills help, and good organisational systems make housework easier, it’s also important to acknowledge that sometimes the load is simply too heavy and something has to give. Therefore, I invite you to check in with yourself and see which things on your list you could delegate, and where you could lower your expectations to make life just a little bit easier. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/time-management-to-balance-work-and-family monthly 0.5 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/bd3f6f5e-403e-4c5a-b342-b792683ee18a/mother+scheduling.png Blog - My “Go-To” Time Management Technique to Balance Work, Family and Me-Time - You’d love to cut down your work hours but the endless tasks, looming deadlines, and the fear of letting your colleagues down keep you chained to your desk. And even when you manage to stay away from work emails on the weekend, you’re still rushing between grocery shopping, meal prepping, cleaning, endless laundry, and shuttling the kids to their activities… Finding time for family fun or for a hint of me-time feels almost impossible! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/8e987e0c-5193-40f1-8c05-b66e2de55807/woman+time-blocking.png Blog - My “Go-To” Time Management Technique to Balance Work, Family and Me-Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/fb5db013-3d7c-47af-8839-37a03c2185f3/Mother+organising+tasks.png Blog - My “Go-To” Time Management Technique to Balance Work, Family and Me-Time - Time-blocking also helps me tackle medium to big projects without overwhelm. Let’s say I have an article to write, I divide it into several blocks: one hour for research, another for brainstorming and sketching out the outline, two hours for the actual writing, and 15 minutes for proofreading and formating. This approach turns a huge and scary job into small manageable chunks. It also helps me work backwards from the deadline to make sure it will be done on time. And at the end, I can check whether my time guesses were realistic which means that next time, I can plan even better without overloading myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/424bde90-8d68-4d5d-9dcd-2543bfa28ab8/woman+planner.png Blog - My “Go-To” Time Management Technique to Balance Work, Family and Me-Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/906b7b57-b193-4a58-aedd-e3a393757c7b/woman+planning+her+day.png Blog - My “Go-To” Time Management Technique to Balance Work, Family and Me-Time - I also like to add micro-pauses between blocks. For example, I might sit in the sun for five minutes, stretch, or listen to a short meditation before moving into the next block. These tiny breaks help me recharge throughout the day, so I’m not already running on empty when it’s time to leave my desk and pick up the kids. As a final note, remember that every mum’s life looks different. What works for me might not be the magic formula for you. Give yourself permission to experiment, notice what feels helpful (and what doesn’t), and trust that over time you’ll shape a system that will fit your life and make your days feel a little lighter. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/why-exercise-priority-for-mums monthly 0.5 2025-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/3ce2290a-ee80-4a00-8777-4bfb1239d5d2/Mother+running+with+pram.png Blog - Why Exercise Should Be a Top Priority for Mums - Full disclosure: I’ve never been a sporty person. At school, I dreaded physical education because I was always the last one picked when teams were formed. Through my teenage years and into young adulthood, I often told myself I should exercise more; but my motivation was mostly about making my body look “better,” which never really stuck. Later, I tried to focus on the health benefits instead. They felt like a stronger reason, but because they were a long-term investment without immediate rewards, I still found it hard to stick to my goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/45693250-4cfc-4c9f-86e8-d054c1478f86/Mother+with+yoga+mat.png Blog - Why Exercise Should Be a Top Priority for Mums - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/6c7f5d0f-0f05-4c19-9b3a-da9d2b458d23/Mother+yoga+toddler.png Blog - Why Exercise Should Be a Top Priority for Mums - Have you ever tried to shake off negative feelings? I find it surprisingly effective. Going for a run to let go of anger, dancing to lighten a heavy heart, or practicing a few yoga poses to ease anxiety… it usually helps. Sometimes the workout makes the feeling disappear entirely, and I finish wondering what I was even fussing about. Other times, it clears my head just enough to think more constructively and come up with solutions. And on days when the feeling is particularly heavy, it might return; but exercise still provides temporary relief, even if it’s just releasing some of the tension in my shoulders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/675d499f-0cbb-4a54-8d02-a2c2425fe5e1/Woman+Pilates.png Blog - Why Exercise Should Be a Top Priority for Mums - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/therapy-lessons-relationships monthly 0.5 2025-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/a61f021b-55e5-46e2-9bb4-5a51aa5e3f61/Happy_Relationship.png Blog - Three Therapy Lessons that Healed my Relationships - Therapy changed my life. It allowed me to break free from unhealthy relationship patterns and build new ways of interacting with others where I could confidently honour myself. It was not an overnight transformation, it took over a year of regular sessions before I could clearly see the benefits. Because inner work happens slowly, quietly, below the surface… This blog post is a personal one where I will share three of my main takeaways from the therapy room. These lessons continue to shape how I relate to others and, most importantly, to myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/b9ef4170-facd-443c-98cf-9c90aea38327/Parents+arguing.png Blog - Three Therapy Lessons that Healed my Relationships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/322dc08f-c3df-4013-9542-ac22b06bd677/Woman+honouring+herself.png Blog - Three Therapy Lessons that Healed my Relationships - The first time my therapist asked me, “What would make you feel good right now?”, I had no idea how to answer. I was so disconnected from my body, from myself. I just knew I was exhausted, tense, and constantly on edge. And I felt guilty about it. After all, wasn’t I supposed to feel happy just being a mum? Wasn’t this meant to be enough? But the truth was, I had needs… unmet needs that were simmering under the surface and erupting in frustration, often toward my partner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/95d654d4-92f4-4637-83ae-9ad369321181/Family+playing+board+games.png Blog - Three Therapy Lessons that Healed my Relationships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/balance-working-mother-time-management-vs-confidence monthly 0.5 2025-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/328efc9f-af2f-4bfc-a7fe-1b675ccf8639/Perfectionist+woman+working+hard.jpg Blog - Struggling to Find Balance? Self-Doubt Might be Costing you Time - You’ve tried time-blocking, prioritisation apps, and productivity hacks, but you still feel stretched thin. There just aren’t enough hours in the day to manage your workload, stay on top of house chores, and enjoy quality time with your family. You can’t help but wonder how other working Mums manage to hold it all together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/8a466809-f8f3-4a9b-bb3c-2493c9f4b7c5/working+mother+exhausted.jpg Blog - Struggling to Find Balance?

Self-Doubt Might be Costing you Time - Your self-confidence levels also affect your ability to stwitch off from work and be mentally and emotionally present at home. Stop for a moment and ask yourself: What’s the real reason why you’re stuck to your phone, replying to emails, instead of being fully engaged in a game with your kids? Is it because you’re scared of being fired if you don’t reply immediately? Or worried your colleagues will think less of you? Or that you might be the one slowing the project down? Some of these concerns might be valid (especially if your workplace culture is highly demanding or unhealthy). But at the core, confidence helps you trust that what you achieve during your working hours is enough and valued. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/bbacb4d0-067d-41bb-aed6-0e9ed8e49d8e/working+mother+balancing+life.jpg Blog - Struggling to Find Balance?

And you love your family. You’re giving 200% to both. But some days, no matter how much you give, it still feels like you’re letting someone down. Maybe it’s the guilt that creeps in when you're stuck in a late meeting and miss bedtime. The quiet voice that whispers: “I don’t spend enough time with the kids.” This is where self-talk becomes powerful, because how you speak to yourself in those moments shapes your emotional experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/b6b6a217-27b0-42fb-acd4-2cccad948c57/Woman+positive+self-talk.jpg Blog - Letting Go of Mum Guilt One Thought at a Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/96da6c5b-ae37-4577-8e2e-2bee6b934960/Mother+Daughter.jpg Blog - Letting Go of Mum Guilt One Thought at a Time - Self-talk is not constructed in a vacuum within our minds, it is a deeply social phenomenon. Daughters often inherit self-talk patterns from their mothers. For instance, daughters who receive direct maternal affirmation tend to develop a sense of self-worth that is more independent of achievement, while those exposed to maternal self-criticism or perfectionism are more prone to self-doubt (Chastain, 2025). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/0170a1a1-821a-45ae-8a9d-dd66707943bb/Mother+and+Boy+Happy.jpg Blog - Letting Go of Mum Guilt One Thought at a Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1eea1000-d098-4f84-8180-79af0fbb7968/Woman+with+friend.jpg Blog - Letting Go of Mum Guilt One Thought at a Time - ❇︎ Surround yourself with compassionate people. Since your inner dialogue is shaped by your social environment, those around you influence the words in your head. If you’re part of a mothers’ group where everyone voices impossibly high standards and every comment carries the undertone of “not good enough,” you’re likely to develop a harsh inner critic. For example, if another mother mentions how terrible she felt for letting her child watch TV once and you rely on screen time daily just to get things done around the house, the guilt of comparison is likely to creep in. You want people around you who lift you up, who are compassionate not only with you but also with themselves, because their self-compassion will naturally extend to you. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/why-women-should-brag-more-but-resist-doing-so monthly 0.5 2025-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/afb9707d-8f40-4ab7-9f30-7b3118f53a58/Confident+woman+at+work.jpg Blog - Why Women Should Brag More but Resist Doing so? - Are you quietly doing your job thinking that your manager will eventually notice the quality of your work and give you the credit that you deserve? Unfortunately, no matter how well-earned that recognition may be, it might never come. To succeed in your career, you need to promote yourself. If the simple idea of advocating for yourself makes you feel uncomfortable, you’re certainly not alone. In this blog article, I explore how gender norms influence why women often downplay they own contributions. Let’s look at how you can assert your worth in a confident (but non-arrogant) way and take meaningful steps forward in your career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/b9a717ca-514c-4af3-b93a-46a0d0d22dae/Woman+Negotiating.jpg Blog - Why Women Should Brag More but Resist Doing so? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/aec0b466-50ba-4720-859b-15c4b585168f/woman+job-interview.jpg Blog - Why Women Should Brag More but Resist Doing so? - There are situations where, no matter how much you dislike bragging, you do need to advocate for yourself: when you're applying for a job, aiming for a promotion, or negotiating your salary, for instance. Other situations might be less obvious, like when you're simply seeking broader recognition beyond formal frameworks. The reality is, people don’t always notice your achievements. You don’t remember everything you’ve done, and neither does your manager. Others don’t necessarily see your day-to-day efforts, so sometimes you have to speak up in order for them to recognise your value. Plus, while some workplaces actively promote their top performers, others may be content to keep you at a lower pay rate, even if you're doing exceptional work. If you don’t ask, you might just save them money. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/does-perfectionism-kill-productivity monthly 0.5 2025-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/ddcd5431-498e-4163-a88c-d302f5ab8e7b/Woman+perfectionist+at+work.jpg Blog - Does Perfectionism Kill Productivity? - Do you take pride in being a perfectionist? There is no doubt that your exceptionally high-standards are valued by your employer, but are all your perfectionistic habits serving you? Sometimes, perfectionism tendencies can be counter-productive and decrease your work performance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/079d34f5-2ac0-4717-ad08-c5d3364287a4/woman+confidently+presenting+her+goal.jpg Blog - Does Perfectionism Kill Productivity? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/429aa82d-d4b1-433a-ac31-e4d19940b2fd/Perfectionist+woman+procrastinating.jpg Blog - Does Perfectionism Kill Productivity? - Could you think of something that you’ve been postponing or that you don’t even wanna try because you’re uncertain about the outcome? It could be sending your CV out, requesting a meeting with a potential collaborator, or writing your own book… This profound desire to avoid mistakes at all costs gets into your way to success. There is a lot of research linking perfectionism and procrastination. At the core of this relationship lies the fear of failure (Yosopov et al. 2024). If you can’t do it well, why bother doing it? Right?!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/8e393837-95c3-4808-8fae-6bc3af1582e7/Perfectionism+working+from+home.jpg Blog - Does Perfectionism Kill Productivity? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/54875aa9-5d21-48d4-80b1-e504d455907f/perfectionism+and+parkinson+law.jpg Blog - Does Perfectionism Kill Productivity? - Perfectionism also interferes with time management when it comes to delegate. How often do you end up doing something yourself because nobody could do it to your standards? Perfectionism pushes leaders to micromanage. Those leaders waste their precious time in tasks that could have been tackled by staff members.

Let’s make yourself the priority for 2025! - The New Year is here! A brand-new chapter, full of promises! During those first days of January, we often feel regained motivation to create new habits: exercising, eating healthier, being more productive at work, spending more time with the kids… the list can go on and on! (and the longer it is, the less likely you are to stick to it… but this is not today’s topic.) This blog post is focused on self-care. In my opinion, nurturing yourself should be your number one (if not your one and unique) resolution for 2025. And let’s be real, looking after yourself as a working mum is hard! You might feel guilty for taking time just for you. Besides, there is already so much on your plate, why would you add anything extra into your schedule? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/b899ddcb-5b8f-4f24-baf7-fb9af63b715c/mother+practicing+self-care.jpg Blog - It’s a New Year!

Let’s make yourself the priority for 2025! - Although I recommend that you look at self-care as something that you can easily incorporate into your life (i.e. listening to your favourite podcast on the way to work or singing along in the car), I still believe that carving out some “me-time” is important. By making time for yourself, you’re reinforcing the idea that you matter. But we don’t want “me-time” to be another chore in your schedule. This time should actually replenish you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/363bcbe7-2df2-47bd-b8d0-6f513a0647da/mother+yoga+self-care.jpg Blog - It’s a New Year!

Let’s make yourself the priority for 2025! - There is no doubt, it is incredibly challenging for working mums to find a moment for themselves! There are several constraints at play, and it’s not only about carving out time… It’s also about finding the right physical environment with no potential stressor in sight (e.g. scattered toys on the floor or overdue papers to review). And most of all, it’s about creating the mental space to relax - and this can be quite tricky if you instantly feel guilty when you do something just for yourself. But what would happen if you were held accountable for having some “me-time”? In a research study, six mothers working in highly-demanding Academic jobs were asked to practice self-care every day and to post about it in an online community (CohenMillers & Demers, 2019). Because these women were “pressured” to nurture themselves, they allowed themselves indulgences they would not have normally permitted. By being pushed to have some daily “me-time”, these hard-working mums recognised the importance of their own wellbeing and became more aware of themselves as individuals, beyond being mothers and Faculty members. As these women progressively forged a new habit of self-care, they were better able to manage career-family role conflicts; they also experienced reduced stress and feelings of guilt. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/reflect-on-2024-with-kindness monthly 0.5 2024-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/92b17c4c-a407-466e-9f88-34fd00221a09/woman+reviewing+her+goals.jpg Blog - Time to reflect on 2024… Make sure to do it with kindness! - We’re reaching the end of the year. This is a time when most of us will look back on the goals we had set up for 2024 and assess how far we’ve gone. If you are where you thought you would be (or further beyond), congratulations! Please take a moment to acknowledge your hard work and grant yourself a proper celebration. However, chances are that the year went so fast that you haven’t been able to keep up with all the promises you had made to yourself. If this is the case, reflecting on your progress and where you may have fallen short could help you move forward, but only if this is done with kindness! Remember, self-blame and criticism will get you nowhere, you want to be your own best friend. Let’s make sure that you come out of this goal-review exercise feeling confident and motivated to tackle up big things in 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/3a0b893e-2bd7-4371-a763-29bac713b558/woman+celebrating+success.jpg Blog - Time to reflect on 2024… Make sure to do it with kindness! - Start your goal-review process by acknowledging what you’ve done well. Write it down, give yourself some well deserved credit and consider sharing your accomplishments with others. Studies have shown that when we share the news of a positive event with those around us, we experience enhanced positive emotions from the event (Gable et al., 2004). This process is called “capitalisation”. We capitalise on our accomplishments by multiplying their positive impact. There are a few hypotheses on how success capitalisation might work. By sharing our wins and retelling an uplifting story, we might relive it ourselves and experience additional feelings of joy, pride and satisfaction. It has also been shown that we’re more likely to remember a rewarding experience if we share it with others. Finally, when our achievements are received with enthusiasm, this will strengthen our relationship with the person we are sharing them with, and this will also boost our self-esteem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/77395247-fc3e-4523-acf2-697ac740ab0e/woman+reviewing+her+goals.jpg Blog - Time to reflect on 2024… Make sure to do it with kindness! - Psychological research has highlighted the importance of self-compassion when assessing our shortcomings. A study performed on freshmen in a Canadian university found that individuals high in self-compassion were less vulnerable to negative emotions when their progress was hindered (Hope et al., 2014). Self-compassion was associated increased autonomous motivation, social adaptation and wellbeing. For tips on how to practice self-compassion, I recommend Dr Kristen Neff’s resources. Once you’ve granted yourself kindness and understanding, the next step is to gain insights from your setbacks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/c8b29dec-3ab2-4043-9447-8001c6873a2a/mother+proud+of+herself.jpg Blog - Time to reflect on 2024… Make sure to do it with kindness! - It may be that you haven’t reached the goals you had set for 2024, but you might have achieved something else that you had not planned for. Some accomplishments such as writing a book, wining an award or obtaining a promotion are obvious. Others feel invisible. These are the ones associated with your inner work, your growth, like stepping outside of your comfort zone or becoming more self-aware. Look for those wins that we often forget to give ourselves credit for. Maybe you have not obtained the pay raise you wanted. But if you have asked for it, standing up and advocating for yourself is a huge step forward. Or perhaps you feel exhausted in your role as a mother and it looks like you’re always in crisis between taking care of sick kids, constantly woking up at night, resolving sibling arguments, managing school refusal (or bed refusal, or shower refusal… you got the picture!). But if you look over the year and start thinking about what used to be an issue and is no longer, you will realise how much progress you’ve made. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/how-to-keep-your-sanity-this-holiday-season monthly 0.5 2024-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1732074199570-6STYTI38Q67P7A423UUM/Children_Christmas.jpg Blog - How to keep your sanity this holiday season? - Christmas is a time filled with joy and magic. For many of us, we have wonderful childhood memories that we aim to recreate for our children. But keeping up with family traditions can sometimes be a bit too much. We might also fall into the social comparison trap: When we see what other mums are doing for the holiday, it’s easy to feel the urge of doing the same. All these festive ideas can bring enchantment and delight to our family but they can also drive us to overwhelm and exhaustion… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/10095d2e-44d4-48f5-beea-351b3e507e43/christmas+cookies.jpg Blog - How to keep your sanity this holiday season? - When our stress-coping behaviours are not helpful… What the 2006 Greenberg survey found is that the holiday stress experienced by women posed a real risk to their mental and physical health. There is no doubt that stress has a direct negative effect on our bodies. Though this physical toll is accentuated by the fact that, during the holidays, we are even more likely than usual to rely on unhealthy behaviours to manage our stress. When the festive season comes, we tend to skip our exercise routine and adopt a more sedentary lifestyle. On the top of that, we are more likely to turn to food and alcohol for comfort. That’s not a surprise, with all the Christmas goodies around and numerous events where we can indulge in a drink or two (or more). All these factors act like an explosive cocktail as we know that poor nutrition will impact our ability to cope with the weight of festive obligations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/6da8f3b6-8e23-4e3b-8cac-8d7d76b451a3/mother+reading+a+book+to+her+children+for+Christmas.jpg Blog - How to keep your sanity this holiday season? - Prep ahead. The more you anticipate before the big rush, the easier it will be for you to enjoy the festivities in the moment. But let’s be clear: by prepping I don’t mean planning every detail perfectly. I also don’t want you to do even more just because you started earlier. When you prep, think about what you want to do, what you can ditch, delegate or simplify (see next point) Don’t try to do it all. When planning your tasks, ask yourself whether you enjoy doing them or not. If that’s something you like, it goes on your list! If that’s something that’s overwhelming you, the second question is whether anyone cares about it (and I mean, really cares. Because some things are nice, like receiving a greeting card, but if we don’t get it we’ll be alright). If this doesn’t make a big difference, we can let go of this tradition. And if this is something we hate doing but is important to others, we can delegate it to our partners or family members, or we can find a compromise (e.g. we just decorate one corner of the living room instead of the whole house). https://www.drcamille.au/blog/should-you-work-after-putting-the-kids-to-bed monthly 0.5 2024-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/c9a042cf-bf07-48d0-bafd-1875ba152baa/woman+working+late+at+night.jpg Blog - Should you work after putting the kids to bed? - Most people will tell you that in order to achieve balance, you need to leave work at work. Of course, there is a lot of truth in that. Bringing home projects from the office and spending all of your evenings absorbed in your job until midnight seems unsustainable and your health will eventually suffer. But I’d like to introduce some nuances to the idea that you should never work after hours. I would argue that, in some specific circumstances, working from home at night could help you achieve balance. So let’s unpack the pros and cons of working after the kids have been put to bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/e59ed707-59e3-442d-b176-2fb0c6067a0c/Mum+in+Office+late+at+night.jpg Blog - Should you work after putting the kids to bed? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/08f5048f-45c3-4251-b683-f75ac6b77321/Mother+having+fun+with+kids+after+school.jpg Blog - Should you work after putting the kids to bed? - Very occasionally, when it allows you to achieve your goals. Sometimes we have important deadlines, we’re working hard for a promotion or we want to nail a presentation and this can motivates us to work hard. Occasional rushes still fit into a balanced life. The key here is to make sure that they are temporary, that it has a very clear end date (ideally no more than a couple of weeks). If you continue working late after you’re finish a first project because there’s another project that requires your attention and this pace drags on for a few months, it’s time to stop and make a plan to reclaim your evenings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/129c8c0a-b86c-447a-992d-f1dd60ee1406/Woman+staying+in+the+office+late+at+night.jpg Blog - Should you work after putting the kids to bed? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/as-a-working-mum-do-you-make-time-for-fun monthly 0.5 2024-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/9d315e7c-ab7f-4b3e-b3f0-9f2b617e083c/Mummy+time.jpg Blog - Do you Make Time for Fun? - How to balance family and work is the topic of many discussions. And because this is already a juggle, leisure or fun is often left out of the equation. How do working mums make time for fun? Unfortunately, many don’t. But this has a cost, because leisure is a life domain that weighs heavily on our wellbeing. So let’s have a look at how we can re-incorporate fun into our busy lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1a491435-f706-4413-a0e8-eae7624fea65/Women+having+fun+playing+guitar+without+kids.jpg Blog - Do you Make Time for Fun? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/4190d385-206a-4e25-9c94-4c51ada605f0/Mother+running+with+her+daughter.jpg Blog - Do you Make Time for Fun? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/is-mum-guilt-limiting-your-career monthly 0.5 2024-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/00d0120b-be1c-42f4-82b4-fe853851c6bc/Mum+Guilt+leaving+kids.jpg Blog - Is Mum Guilt Limiting your Career? - Imagine that you have a work trip coming up. It is an exciting opportunity! You know how important your job is, you know how many lives you can touch by fully investing yourself into it. With this trip, you will advance your career and truly make a difference. BUT this also means you’ll spend a few days away from your family. Your spouse already told you they’re more than happy to step up and solely manage the kids and the household in your absence, but still… YOU FEEL GUILTY. Mum guilt is such a common feeling! Guilt is practically ingrained in motherhood. Yet, this guilt is doing us a disservice, so let’s have a look and see if we can approach work-family clashes differently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/31057e56-2c36-4a9b-b260-2be53c125d94/mother_child.jpg Blog - Is Mum Guilt Limiting your Career? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/f102f065-ea38-4285-bb68-2b9db14c93be/Mum_Bye.jpg Blog - Is Mum Guilt Limiting your Career? - A final note: that might sound cheesy but whatever you’re feeling is ok. A mum once told me that she felt guilty about “not feeling bad” when driving away from daycare after dropping off her kids. This guilt stemmed from all the messaging out there telling us it’s ok to feel sad when leaving our kids at daycare. So yes, it’s ok to feel sad, it’s also ok to feel relieved or overjoyed (because sometimes being able to sit at our desk with a hot coffee is just what we need). Every mum’s experience is different and there is no universal way to be a good mum - you get to choose your own way! https://www.drcamille.au/blog/balancing-work-and-family-are-boundaries-the-answer monthly 0.5 2024-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/7be2442b-7198-40d2-b21e-b25e68b69f05/Mum+on+the+phone+with+baby.jpg Blog - Balancing Work and Family, are Boundaries the Answer? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/ebf44e2d-196c-4e23-ac37-d9992bf9cc07/woman+setting+boundaries+at+work Blog - Balancing Work and Family, are Boundaries the Answer? - Any healthy relationship, either personal or professional, requires boundaries.

This is particularly true if you are working from home, or if you are back to work after maternity leave and household responsibilities need to be re-distributed. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/why-do-ungratifying-household-chores-continue-to-fall-on-mums-shoulders monthly 0.5 2025-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/172d06dc-a8d4-4a99-be1d-8e5a166a7bf7/mother+and+chores.jpg Blog - Why Do Ungratifying Household Chores Continue to Fall on Women’s Shoulders? - Who does the laundry in your house? Who cleans the bathroom? And who does the cooking? I’m not talking about preparing a fancy exotic dish on the weekend, no. Who does the boring everyday cooking? You know, on those days when you have no idea what to make for dinner and you really want something fast and simple… In Australia, women spend on average one extra hour a day on unpaid household tasks compared to men (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2022). Inequalities in chore repartition within a household tend to increase when children are born. This huge share of domestic work that falls on our shoulders is a real issue: it negatively impacts on our careers and on our health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/22819c33-4846-4592-853d-fbd521f22061/woman+tidying+up.jpg Blog - Why Do Ungratifying Household Chores Continue to Fall on Women’s Shoulders? - The powerful impact of societal norms This last fact seems counterintuitive: if someone is contributing more financially, shouldn’t they reduce their non-financial contributions? This is what the exchange-bargaining theory would predict: assuming people don’t enjoy house chores, when a spouse brings a higher amount of resources (i.e. money) to the relationship, they’re in better position to negotiate out of unpleasant tasks. And this is indeed what is observed in heterosexual households when the male partner brings home the larger income. In those cases, the more money a woman makes, the less housework she does - one reason being that she outsources more. But this dynamic shifts when the woman becomes the breadwinner of the household! It was found that when women contribute more than half of the household income, women also took on more of the domestic tasks (Bittman et al., 2003). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/e1722768-b8ff-406f-8bb2-4eb4f5455bc1/chores+%282%29.jpg Blog - Why Do Ungratifying Household Chores Continue to Fall on Women’s Shoulders? - Some things may be outside of your control, such as societal attitudes, or even your partner’s behaviour and beliefs. So, let’s focus on what is within your immediate power. Start questioning why the things are the way they are. For instance, you might be in charge of dinner preparation because it is something you enjoy, and this is great. But you might also have unconsciously endorsed this responsibity because cooking is tacitly assumed to be a women’s role. This is still fine if you consider this to be fair. But if you actually hate cooking and there is no valid reason for you to be solely in charge, you might want to have a conversation with your partner. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/managing-the-morning-routine monthly 0.5 2024-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1716251590409-BGYE401TOR42O24T36F5/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Managing the Morning Rush - It’s 7:25am, you should have left the house 10min ago, and you’re already picturing your colleagues judging you for arriving late at work, one more time. For the last hour, you’ve been nagging everyone to get ready. Your oldest is now finally waiting out the door, but your youngest started drawing. You tell her “put your shoes on” once, twice, three times… and then you lose your cool. She finally drops her pencils and you help her putting on her shoes while she’s screaming that you’re the meanest mum in the whole entire world. You grab her backpack, everybody jumps in the car feeling upset. And you ask yourself “where did that go wrong?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/3f5e5bc0-3d8a-44a2-a88f-c31bbe7e318a/Mother+dropping+off+her+kid+at+school.jpg Blog - Managing the Morning Rush https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/89104d1a-e364-4a59-89b3-395f2995e242/Mother+helping+her+child+get+ready+for+school.jpg Blog - Managing the Morning Rush - A study interviewing 10 parents of pre-school children found that all parents experienced some kind of stress due to time constrains of the morning routine. However, the amount of stress differed between two groups of parents, which were categorised as the unaware parents and the mindful parents (Sussman, 2016). The unaware parents were mostly focused on time and, as a result, they were not attuned to their child. These parents did not take into account the child’s developmental stage in their expectations, and they were not able to use regulation strategies, which led to escalation and disconnection. Put simply, these parents were pushed by the clock, disconnected from both themselves and their child. By contrast, the mindful parents were attuned to their own emotional state and to their child. These parents were also stressed by the time constraints but they had put strategies in place to regulate themselves and to be present for their child. For them, the parent-child interaction was calm, regulated and interactive. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/finding-your-balance-as-a-mum monthly 0.5 2024-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1713398996199-Q3B6G3W2R597I2CVV0ED/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Finding your Balance as a Mum - Motherhood is a constant juggle where we seem to always be running out of time. Working mums might feel frustrated to not be able to dedicate enough time to their career while also blaming themselves for not being present enough with their family. And stay-at-home mums might find themselves buried into the never-ending list of house chores, childcare duties, races for pick-ups and shuttles to extracurricular activities. Although there is no miracle solution for a balanced life, there are a few steps you can take to find your own peace amidst the chaos of motherhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/31a9e0ca-5e19-4c1f-9976-5b8ae8c50580/image-asset.jpg Blog - Finding your Balance as a Mum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/18fe1fbb-725f-4075-99fe-f6e23d80c371/image-asset.jpg Blog - Finding your Balance as a Mum - But how could you possibly find time for self-care when there is already so much on your to-do list? If you don’t have time for self-care, this is probably the best indication that you should make time for it! Let’s look at it this way: stress occurs when resources are limited, specifically when we have no time and no energy. And stress will further deplete those resources in many ways: stress by itself consumes energy, we might have trouble sleeping or be more irritable, our mood might be down; and then everything takes more time because we’re exhausted, we can’t focus on anything, we might pick up a fight with our partner… you get the picture! This idea has been backed up by research, mothers who engage in self-care practices report decreased stress and improved wellbeing (Dugan & Barnes-Farrell, 2020). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1713401958741-QEHMIY6CHJLX27UKT370/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Finding your Balance as a Mum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/the-weight-of-the-invisible-load-on-mothers-shoulders monthly 0.5 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1709770789505-6B6OTGLJRVC5KKCB1NJK/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Weight of the Invisible Load on Mums’ shoulders - When we talk about the “invisible load”, we refer to the mental and emotional burden usually falling on mothers’ shoulders. This burden is invisible because it is not readily recognisable. And mums might not even be aware of this load, but they inevitably feel its impact. The invisible load is heavy, it might lead to exhaustion, anxiety or even depression. It is also likely to negatively affect our physical health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/69703598-47f1-4e65-9391-aafb2ef91ff1/image-asset.jpg Blog - The Weight of the Invisible Load on Mums’ shoulders - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/12e81291-983c-4411-bf18-0dc7e1b9fd59/mum+multitasking+working+from+home+with+kids.jpg Blog - The Weight of the Invisible Load on Mums’ shoulders - New York Time Best Selling author Eve Rodsky explains that that women are not better equipped than men to carry the invisible load (Momwell). Instead, mothers have been conditioned by society to think that they should be the only carriers of the load, and to feel “less-than” if the load becomes too heavy for their shoulders. One reason often put forward for mothers to take charge of the invisible labour is the myth that women are better multitaskers. This stereotype has been tested by scientists and turned out to be false: women and men are equally bad at multitasking (Hirsch et al., 2019). I say “equally bad” because, in this study, multitasking resulted in reduced performance when male or female participants were asked to either switch between tasks, or perform two tasks at the same time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/2ef1cfed-95c7-4e76-be00-333b4cb5e189/Couple+having+a+conversation+on+task+repartion+of+the+invisible+load+of+motherhood.jpg Blog - The Weight of the Invisible Load on Mums’ shoulders - Develop awareness. If you want to delegate part of the load, the first step is to make the load visible. Start by listing all the tasks you’re doing, not just the physical ones like hanging the laundry, but also the invisible ones like planning for your kid’s dance leotard to be washed by Monday night, or keeping an eye on the lunch box snacks to make sure they don’t run out during the week… Have a honest conversation with your partner. Now that you know what the load looks like, approach your partner to discuss the task repartition. Ideally, your partner would also make a list of the tasks they are performing because some of them might be invisible too. You don’t have to come to the perfect solution in one go, the idea is to work together as a team so both of you feel seen and supported. It might be useful to schedule regular discussions to check in and adjust. Be ready to let go. If you want your partner to step in, you need to let go of control. Give him an opportunity to do things “his way”. There might also be a learning curve, involving some trials and errors before the new responsibility is fully managed. Remember, if you step in because “he can’t do it right”, your partner will most likely never learn to do it right. Get rid of non-essential tasks. Isn’t it funny how our perfectionist brain makes us do things that we don’t really need? Maybe your house doesn’t have to be sparkly clean all the time? Or you might not need to volunteer to every school event? Or perhaps you could just skip cooking dinner tonight and order takeaway instead? (frozen lasagna works well too!) Whatever it is, look at your to do list and cross-out those tasks that are not really necessary. By doing so, you’ll make your day a little bit lighter. Get help. You don’t have to do it alone (or alone with your partner)! If you can afford it, pay for housekeeping services and delegate the tasks you enjoy the least. Create your village, involve family, friends, neighbours or parent groups. Don’t hesitate to ask for help, most people will be happy to give you a hand. And accept help when it is offered! Honour your needs. To honour our needs, we first need to be aware of them, which is not easy when we spend our day running around. This is why incorporating some mindfulness practices into our daily routine is essential, so we can take time to reconnect with ourselves and find out what we really need. The other key principle to honouring our needs is setting boundaries, ensuring we preserve our time and energy for what really matters to us. It’s ok to say no to a play date if what you really need now is some quiet time at home… In summary, the invisible load is a modern form of gender inequality that drains mothers’ mental and physical health. By recognising it and working collaboratively with our partner towards a fairer repartition of the load, we can build a happier household. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/the-power-of-connection monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1707794987170-QO5TVUQUA7CF7YQRQTSY/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Power of Connection - Motherhood is probably the most rewarding job on earth, yet it is also the most demanding one! We say it takes a village to raise a child, and that’s true! With all the (unrealistic) expectations of motherhood, we need this village to keep our sanity. As mothers, relationships are an incredible source of resilience. It’s not just the material support offered by those around us that makes the difference (although the neighbour taking care the kids so we can attend a work meeting can definitely boost our career). The most important part of finding our village comes from the feeling of connectedness it gives us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/f40971fc-ce4d-4301-ae2f-924027169a84/image-asset.jpg Blog - The Power of Connection - As mothers, the connection we establish with our children is one of the most meaningful. An experiment conducted by Dr Ed Tronick in the 1970s looked at interactions between mothers and their infants (YouTube - Still Face Experiment). At the beginning of the experiment, the mother plays with her baby of about one year of age. Mum smiles, baby smiles back… Baby points at things, mum looks… They are engaged. Then, the mother puts on an expression-less face. Baby smiles, points, claps hands but mum does not respond. Baby then turns away. And after 3 minutes the baby’s distress is evident, she starts crying... Finally, the mother goes back to be her normal self and responding to the baby. Mum and baby engage again in joyful play. This experiments shows us how sensitive we are to the emotional reactions or lack of emotions of the people we are close to. It also demonstrates common stages of reactions that occur when we are seeking connection (which apply to babies, children and adults). When seeking to re-establish connection, we usually go through these stages: Reach Protest Turning Away (in an attempt to get a reaction) Visible distress and final effort to re-establish connection Ceasing to attempt to interact In this experiment, baby’s distress was visible very quickly but there was no harm caused by a short loss of connection when the relationship was repaired. In real life, issues arise when the disconnection is prolonged, which can happen with emotionally unavailable parents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1708318165631-H6NNJ6TIV10T8YD4KLK5/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Power of Connection - Connection is basic psychological need. As humans, we want to feel some relatedness to others, a sense of belonging. Studies have found that our connection to others influence our mental and physical wellbeing (Klussman et al., 2020). This makes sense because the wider our support network, the most likely we will receive help in times of need… But the benefits of connection are not limited to the support we receive, giving is just as important if not more for our wellbeing. Contributing to a community and lifting people up gives us a sense of fulfilment that is incredibly beneficial to our mental health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/ae836c28-58d6-42dd-915f-5e3dbb77520f/image-asset.jpg Blog - The Power of Connection - It is easy to “disconnect” when we’re preoccupied by work, overwhelmed by household responsibilities or just inattentively scrolling on our phone… But our loved ones need our full presence! It doesn’t mean that we need to be always with them, it means that when we are with them, we’re fully engaged and our mind is not somewhere else. Here are some tips to strengthen connection (either with children, partner, friends or family members): Listen, really listen! Don’t just wait for your turn to speak while preparing your arguments, be fully attentive to what is being said. Be Vulnerable. Share your own struggles, feelings, and thoughts authentically. Vulnerability fosters trust and encourages others to open up as well. Just hold space. We don’t need to fix everything. When someone is a hard time, sometimes what they need is just for us to sit with them in silence. Share the fun. Find activities you both enjoy, be silly and laugh together! Playful moments often break down barriers and facilitate open communication. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/mindfulness-for-busy-mums monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1705292561124-NH63S2F8BGES7B03F3SB/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Mindfulness for Busy Mums As mums, we often live on autopilot mode. In the morning, we mechanically serve our kids breakfast, prepare lunchboxes without even thinking about it, get ready as fast as possible, rush our kids out of the house and if we’re lucky we’re able to get a sip of coffee before heading to work. As our day goes on, we accomplish task after task almost without realising it. We rarely take the time to breathe… Our autopilot has some advantages: it allows us to be efficient and quickly tick things off our to-do list while our brain conserves energy for more complicated tasks. But when we are constantly on autopilot, it creates a disconnect: we’re not here. We’re not attuned to our environment, we’re not attuned to the ones around us, we’re not even attuned to ourselves. Practicing mindfulness means reconnecting ourselves with the present and by doing so, we can better respond to our children’s needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/1705292755509-S7PCEAW103PDLVWQJPDJ/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Mindfulness for Busy Mums - First of all, you don’t need to sit quietly for hours to practice mindfulness (but you can if you wish to and manage to find the time and space without kids screaming around you ). To be effective, mindfulness should be incorporated into our everyday life. This could take the form of formal practice (e.g. meditation) or informal practice (brief check-in), ideally both. There’s many different ways to meditate and you can find a variety of free guided meditations online. The essence of mindfulness meditation consists in noticing our mind drifting away and constantly and patiently bring it back to the here and now. Most importantly, we have to do this without judgement! The absence of judgement is at the core of the meditation practice. We just observe. Give it a go! For 5 minutes, notice when your mind wanders and bring it back gently to the present, like a toddler who would have run away. Gently back to the here and now…. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a2430385b81e2cff5a0a7c/4f1e15f2-0880-4c05-9624-85daeac7728d/image-asset.jpg Blog - Mindfulness for Busy Mums - Ok. That’s nice, but why mindfulness is useful for us, mums? First thing, research has shown that we’re happier when we’re fully engaged in the present (A Wandering Mind is an Unhappy Mind). And of course, happy mum = happy kid! But that’s not all! Mindfulness teaches us to be attuned to our body sensations, making us more capable of noticing our emotions before they explode and become out of control. We will be able to sense the slight tension in our shoulders when our kid refuses to brush their teeth, and take that deep breath that will allow us to remain calm. The more we practice mindfulness, the more we’re able to sit with uncomfortable emotions without being overwhelmed. An through emotional regulation, we can better attend to our needs and to those of our loved ones. https://www.drcamille.au/blog/tag/balance monthly 0.5
