We can't believe our sons are starting Reception in September - where did four years go?!

Nothing prepares you for the emotional whirlwind of watching your baby become "a big school kid" and how four years of motherhood suddenly feels like it happened in four minutes!

This isn't just about surviving the school transition - it's about understanding how motherhood completely warps our relationship with time! ⏰

In this week's Mambition Moments, we're unpacking the bizarre paradox of how the days dragged endlessly when they were babies, but somehow four entire years have vanished in a blink.

We're exploring that strange grief of mourning the baby phase while celebrating their independence, and why buying school uniforms hits harder emotionally than their first steps ever did.

From "I don't know what I'm doing" to "I've got this" - when did that shift happen? And what does this new phase of motherhood mean when you're not in constant crisis management mode?

Perfect mid-week reflection - whether you're facing your own major life transition or just need to feel less alone in watching your babies grow up too fast.

From corporate banking to mental health pioneer - meet Rebecca Reed FRSPH, founder of Siendo and creator of MentalFlex®.

She launched her mental health company just 2 weeks before the pandemic and now supports major organisations like Oxford University and the NHS.

In this episode, Rebecca shares her journey and practical strategies for working parents struggling with stress. We explore how children mirror our stress patterns, the social media comparison trap, and post-traumatic growth.

Rebecca reveals her 3 pillars of mental fitness for overwhelmed parents and shares practical tools for nervous system reset that you can use in the chaos of daily life.

Perfect for ambitious working mothers ready to break generational stress cycles and model resilience for their children while pursuing their own goals.
