Media | Dr Tuesday

As a psychologist with a special interest in maternal mental health, transition and the emotional realities of modern motherhood, I deeply enjoy providing expert comment for written publications.

My ability to blend psychological insight with lived experience also allows me to speak to a wide range of topics - from the mental load and identity shifts to emotional wellbeing and the benefits of nature. I'm available for quick-turnaround comments as well as contribution to longer-form features.

Got a podcast? Invite me to be your guest. Having real, unfiltered conversations about the realities of modern motherhood is one of my greatest sources of joy and I love sharing my expert knowledge in a way that's engaging for your audience.

I’d love to be able to take the “bless this mess” approach but when my external environment is chaotic my internal reality is too.

And it’s not all in my head - research has shown that visual clutter triggers the release of cortisol, one of our stress hormones.

BUT, I have 3 kids, all 6 and under, so mess (and stress) is inevitable I guess? 🌪️

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Do you find that a messy environment impacts you too? Can you feel the effects of that rising cortisol? Or are you able to embrace it? ❤️

Because it’s not always possible to “enjoy every moment”.

Because sometimes mum life is thick, heavy and utterly relentless.

And because research tells us that to be a “good enough” parent we only need to get it right about 30% of the time.

So when shit hits the fan and I don’t show up in the way that I want to, these are the thoughts that I cling to like life rafts.

They bring such a deep sense of comfort and self-compassion. And I hope they do for you too! ❤️

I’m not an “angry mum”. I’m a human one.

Anger is a valid human emotion. Just like any other we’re capable of experiencing. But it’s one we can have a tricky relationship with for lots of reasons.

We can end up letting the feeling define us in ways we don’t allow other emotional experiences to.

We can make it mean something about us in ways we don’t do with other feelings.

I’ve never heard a mother say things like “I’m a happy mum” or “I’m a grateful mum” for instance. But I have heard “I’m an angry mum”. And it’s often delivered in a whisper. Gift wrapped in shame.

But despite our discomfort with it, anger is normal. It does however become harder to experience when we berate ourselves for feeling it like any other human being would

For more on anger including ways of allowing it and moving yourself through it - check out a recent post I shared @iamdrtuesday ❤️

Just an overstimulated mum trying to convince her brain that the constant arguing, velcro baby and layer of crumbs under foot ≠ being chased by a bear.

All jokes aside, movement helps.

A few minutes of dancing, shaking, stretching or stepping outside can help discharge built-up energy and bring you back into balance.

Consider this your sign to go dance it out and follow @iamdrtuesday for more honest motherhood ❤️

The “best” way to do motherhood is your way.

It’s the way that will create enough space for your own emotional wellness.

The way that will create the version of motherhood you actually want to live. The one that feels good for you.

I’d be so curious to hear your thoughts on this though - do you find it hard to figure out what your way is amongst the endless stream of trends and expert advice in this space? Let’s chat in the comments ❤️

You’re not the issue.

It doesn’t make you disorganised, lazy or bad at juggling if you struggle when carrying the mental load the size of a small nation.

It makes it unsustainable.

Ahead of #WorldMentalHealthDay I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for @mmhalliance in the Spring!

To raise awareness of the messy middle of maternal mental health. The place where most of us actually live our day-to-day lives as mothers.

Where early signs of imbalance often go unnoticed because they don’t quite fit the definition of “illness”. And where support often feels out of reach because we’re still “doing okay”.

I want to expand and change current conversations around maternal health. Not because there’s anything wrong with them. But because they don’t tell the whole story.

Over the next few months I’ll be sharing my highs and lows as I get myself ready for what feels like a crazy challenge. Going from non-runner to half marathon 🥴🫣

I’ll also be continuing conversations around the unspoken parts of modern motherhood. The bits we don’t see or hear much of in this space. The challenges we share but often carry in silence.

Follow @iamdrtuesday for more. You can also make a donation to the Maternal Mental Health Alliance via the link in my bio ❤️

You can’t control the version of you they hold in their minds or the lens through which they see you.

You can only keep coming back to your own version of you. The YOU that you really are.

Our collective thoughts 💭

Last week I asked my community of mothers to share something they wish their partners understood more.

I had lots of similar responses which I grouped together in themes. I then shared a combined response based on each theme.

These were combined and shared with the permission of the incredible mothers who engaged with this conversation so bravely. Thank you all so much for your generosity as always 😘

If that makes me an “influencer”, then sign me up.

I’m here to have bigger influence than just getting you to click on a link.

I’m here to affect real, lasting change in the way we think and talk about motherhood.

And that’s because I consider being an “influencer” a huge social responsibility - one I feel ready to take on if I have the privilege of growing this community and earning your trust.

If you don’t already, follow @iamdrtuesday

And if you do - I’d LOVE it if you would help me get my message out there by hitting share. I’m here to make real change for YOU and I’d love you to be a part of it ❤️

PS - I was fully influenced by @ordinaryemm_ with this one. Full credit to you my lovely 😘

Not a bad mum. A human one ❤️

I recently asked my community of mothers to share the feelings that they wished were normalised in this part of life.

The ones that lived in the shadows and that they felt they couldn’t always say out loud. And these are some of their responses.

By sharing them I hope we can make the parts of motherhood we carry in silence feel a little lighter.

You’re not alone. Please tag or share with another mum to remind her that she isn’t either 🫶🏻

In a space designed to “influence”, let me de-influence you.

People often assume that being a psychologist means I’ve fully got my shit together.

They assume that I’m this relentlessly calm and totally unshakeable mum who’s able to take the mess, noise and chaos that comes with this part of life in her stride.

They assume that I use all of the tips and hacks to keep my life in perfect balance and alignment.

I’ve had a few more of you join me in my little corner of the internet recently, so I thought I’d set the record straight.

Welcome to messy, real life motherhood. My very human, extremely loud (noise sensitivity problems 🫠) and sometimes-chaotic version of it.

I’m so happy you’re here ❤️

Are you a highly sensitive person too?

According to research, about 30% of us are and have brains that respond to certain experiences in a way that is measurably different to those of less sensitive people.

In brain imaging studies, highly sensitive people display stronger activations of regions of the brain involved in awareness and empathy compared to less sensitive participants.

That means we don’t just notice more. We feel more. Which can be exhausting in motherhood amongst all of the noise, chaos and big feelings.

But it also means we’re deeply attuned, intuitive and connected.

It’s not a flaw. It’s a strength. Even if some days it feels like “too much.”

You’re in the right place.

The pressure to “enjoy every moment” has been weighing heavily on me recently. Especially during some of the more unenjoyable days and experiences.

It’s something I’ve been sharing on my page and it’s been sparking lots of conversation around how wildly unrealistic it is to expect mothers to enjoy every moment.

I’d love you to come join the conversation @iamdrtuesday ❤️

Hear me out ⬇️

I want to offer an alternative perspective. A different possibility to the one we are constantly offered in this space.

One that’s different to the “enjoy it whilst it lasts” narrative. The one that tells us that one day, when our kids are grown, we will be filled with heartbreak, devastation and an intense longing to get back to the days we’re currently living with small children.

It’s the only narrative I’ve seen lately in a space that’s filled with nostalgic posts about wanting to get back to the good old days of relentless chaos and noise 🤯

But what if there’s another possibility?

What if instead of one day finding yourself falling off of some emotional cliff edge, you find yourself meeting a completely different feeling? What if it’s something closer to gratitude or even relief at having survived some of the most intense and demanding days of motherhood?

What if you don’t wish that you could go back because you’re so in love with the reality that moving forward is serving up?

What if instead of being utterly heartbroken, you’re completely content with the chapter you’re in because you’re obsessed with the versions of your kids (and you) that you’re getting to know?

What if we don’t have to dread the future?

I’d be so curious to hear from you - mothers of small children, do you already feel a sense of dread and anticipatory nostalgia? Or something different? And mothers of older children - what’s it like? What’s the feeling? Can you give us something to look forward to? ❤️

#nostalgia #motherhood #motherhoodthroughinstagram #motherhoodunplugged #honestmom #motherhoodjourney #millennials #innerchild #healing

It’s a whole aesthetic 🌈

But what we’re fed on here is quite different a lot of the time.

Perfect palettes and seasonal decor.
Tidy rooms and organisational “hacks”.

But can we talk about real life family homes that look like they’re actually lived in?

The ones that so many of us have but can sometimes judge ourselves on in the face of unrealistic aesthetic standards set in spaces like this.

And don’t get me wrong - my messy, imperfect family home that’s covered in handprints and crumbs may drive me crazy sometimes but it’s full to the brim with proof of life and the tiny humans who make it what it is ❤️

Pass it on ❤️

This one is for first-time mum me and for any other mum feeling the overcome by the pressure to get motherhood “right”.

For the mum who feels like she’s falling short or may not be cut out for the job.

For the mum who needs reminding that her imperfection isn’t her downfall but the key to her greatest gift - her humanness.

You don’t have to get this right all of the time. You can’t. But what a gift it is for your children to show up in all of your messy, imperfect, mistake-making glory.

This is your reminder and permission slip to drop your shoulders, release that breath I know you’re holding onto and trust that you are always doing better than you think you are 😘

When I asked this community to share the thoughts and experiences they’ve never voiced, your responses blew me away.

I have grouped them into themes and shared the most common responses.

For context I had one child napping, another parked in front of the TV and this one commentating/asking for me to open snacks 🙃

It isn’t always easy. But I am worth making time for. I am worth doing and being something outside of motherhood for.

And this doesn’t apply to just exercise btw. That just happens to be what makes me happy.

Let’s hear what your thing is? What do you do for yourself? Do you find it hard/easy to protect space and time for that thing, whatever it is?

Can you relate?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how many times I was told I was “too sensitive” when I was growing up.

And all of the ways I tried to harden myself to my experiences - trying to dial down all of my feels which always felt like “too much”.

A few years of motherhood cracking me open again and again and again and I now see my sensitivity as a gift.

Being so dialled in to myself that I know EXACTLY how something or someone makes me feel. And then letting myself move through that - the good, the bad and the ugly - what a privilege to be a full-feeling human being.

Because here’s the thing ⬇️

It can be so easy to scroll through this space, see someone else’s perfect, stylised version of motherhood and feel like your real life one is less than.

So I thought I’d remind you that it isn’t.

Because real life motherhood is raw, messy and imperfect. And that makes it pretty great. Exactly as it is.
