Being a mum isn't easy

There is no single version of motherhood. One season might challenge your sleep. Another your relationship, confidence, identity or career.

Sound familiar?

You love being a mum.
But some days you barely recognise yourself.

Motherhood can be full of love and still leave you exhausted, reactive, unsure of yourself — or wondering where you went in the middle of looking after everyone else.

01
You don't feel like yourself
You love your family, but somewhere between caring, organising, remembering and getting everyone through the day, parts of you have become harder to recognise.
02
Everything feels bigger when you're tired
A small thing happens and suddenly you're overwhelmed, frustrated or fighting tears.

Then comes the guilt for reacting in a way you wish you hadn't.
03
Some experiences stay with you
A birth. Returning to work. A hard season. A change in your relationship. Kids are growing up.

Everyone else may have moved on but something about it still matters to you.
04
You know how you want to respond. But sometimes you just can't.
When you're discouraged, exhausted or pushed too far, your thoughts and reactions can take over before you've had a chance to choose differently.
START WHERE YOU ARE

Motherhood changes you.

As your children grow, motherhood keeps asking different things of you; emotionally, mentally, professionally and personally.

Why YMJ

Most motherhood advice focuses on your child. We focus on you.

Created from real work with mothers
Your Mama Journey is created by Jade Marklew, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker whose work has centred on mothers and the realities of motherhood. The tools are evidence-informed, but made for everyday life, not a therapy room.
Practical enough to actually use
No three-hour morning routines. No pressure to write pages every day. No expectation that you'll suddenly stop having hard moments. Just practical ways to reflect, understand what's happening and respond differently; even when five minutes is all you have.
Made for every mother
Your thoughts. Your identity. Your relationships. Your experiences. The person you're becoming while your children are becoming themselves. That's what we're here for.

Jade Marklew

Accredited Mental Health Social Worker · Perinatal Specialist · Mum of One
Jade has spent years working alongside mothers through the thoughts, emotions, identity changes and transitions that motherhood can bring.

Then she became a mother herself.

Her own journey began with an emergency C-section — an experience that reinforced something she had already seen repeatedly in her work:

Mothers are given endless information about caring for their children.
Far less attention is given to what motherhood is doing to them.

Your Mama Journey grew from that idea.

Jade brings together her professional experience, lived experience and work with more than 1,000 mothers to create practical tools for the woman inside motherhood.
THE REALITY

Everyone has advice about raising your child.
Very little of it helps you understand yourself.

Motherhood doesn't only change your schedule.

It can change how you think, how you respond, what you want, how you see yourself and what you need from the people around you.

Your children deserve support as they grow.

So do you.
