First things first, let's acknowledge the ridiculously impressive journey you've been on. Once upon a time, in the not-so-distant past, you were knee-deep in nappies, deciphering the mystery of baby cries like you were on some unfathomable game show.

Remember that thing you used to do—oh, what was it called—have hobbies? Yup, it’s time to reignite those flames of passion. Be it painting, jogging, or quoting every Friends episode ever, carve out even 30 minutes a week to do what you love. It’s like calorie-free chocolate for your soul.

This new chapter is uniquely yours. It’s time to love up on all the bits and pieces that make up you. Book a solo adventure, and take yourself out for a latte while wearing your comfiest Mum Tum leggings. You deserve it, superstar.
Your superpower: thriving while improvising.
So there you have it, cherished readers—your spark has merely been on hiatus, waiting for your command to burst forth again. You're a warrior, a nurturer, and now, a revitalized soul ready to tackle each day with humor and determination.
Until next time, keep your glam standards high and your mom-bun higher!
