Happy birthday, baby boy 💔 3 today!
Never not missed, never not loved.
Apollo, our magic star man in the sky✨
I had planned to make a 2025 ‘highlights’ reel but honestly, I’m wrecked 😂 So instead, please enjoy this little video I found on my phone from when I played the Ruby Sessions last January.
It’s not perfect & that is very much the energy I’m bringing into 2026 🩷
2025 was an incredible year in so many ways. Finishing and releasing an album and then sharing it with the world was beyond anything I imagined. But alongside that came postnatal anxiety, a full-time day job, and being a full-time mama. I definitely pushed myself too hard and ended up burning out, so the last few months have been about slowing down, finding my feet again, and letting my nervous system settle.
So 2026 for me is the year of slow and steady.
Less hustle, more balance.
And honestly, thank you to my family, friends, and everyone who listens to my music, comes to shows, sends messages, and offers encouragement.
You carried me through this year more than you know x
HAPPY NEW YEAR BI***ES!

A whole year of Sad Party 🌸
I wrote it during lockdown, when everyone seemed to be thriving but I’m not sure any of us really were.
Since then, it’s taken on new meanings for me: a quiet reflection on the masks we wear, and the small lies we tell when we say “I’m grand.”
It feels apt that it was released on World Mental Health Day.
Having had my fair share of twists and turns with mental health, and having recently been diagnosed with postnatal depression and anxiety, the best advice I can give is: talk.
To family, to friends, to your GP, to a counsellor, to your dog.
It’s the hardest, but best step you can take, it loses all its power once you do.
Well, that’s been my experience anyway. 🌸
P.S. Sad Party is song number 2 on my album TRUTH. Have a listen 💗

National Breastfeeding Week 🩷
If you’d told me a week after Minnie was born that I’d still be breastfeeding 19 months later, I would’ve told you you were absolutely batsh*t crazy 😂
The first few weeks were the most painful, horrific and crushing weeks of my life. I felt so useless that my baby wasn’t feeding properly, that I couldn’t give her the nutrition she needed. I was triple feeding (b***y feeding, pumping and topping up with formula), in and out of hospital with mastitis, and just a shell of myself. It was a really lonely time.
But for some bizarre reason, I kept going. At 10 weeks, I attended the Holles Street breastfeeding support group and met an angel midwife called Ruby. She completely changed our feeding journey. She listened, encouraged, and was the first person to tell me that I could do it, if I wanted to. Twice a week for three weeks, she sat with me and helped rebuild my confidence and we haven’t looked back since.
I still don’t think there’s enough support for women and breastfeeding. That old trope; it’s the most natural thing in the world, everyone should be able to do it, is so damaging. Not everyone can or wants to do it, and that’s completely okay. It’s really fu***ng hard, and it can be brutal on your mental health. Too often, you’re dismissed from hospital and left to your own devices.
I love breastfeeding, but we still get very little sleep, and I’ll look to wind down in the next few months. Looking back, I probably should have given up for my own mental health but I figured that Minnie might be our only baby, given our journey, and that kept me going.
As always, I’m in awe of women those breastfeeding or not. We are all just trying our best 💗
