The Unplugged Life

What Wellness Really Means When You’re a Mum

What is wellness when life feels full, noisy, and overstimulating? In this soft, grounding episode, Clare explores how to redefine wellness as a mother - without the pressure, perfectionism, or “shoulds” of the wellness industry. This is an audio-first conversation designed to keep you company rather than demand your attention. You’re invited to listen while walking, resting, or moving through your day. In this episode, we explore: • why wellness can feel overwhelming instead of supportive • the problem with wellness-washing • the yoga philosophy of “returning” rather than perfecting • tiny moments of presence that genuinely shift your day • how to practice real, sustainable wellness in as little as 10 seconds If you’d like a gentle place to land, explore The Slow Scroll Library it's a quiet corner of free resources created to support tired mums: https://www.clare-gent.com/the-slow-scroll-library [https://www.clare-gent.com/the-slow-scroll-library?utm_source=chatgpt.com] No sign-up.

What Slowness Taught Me About Enoughness

For the Tired Mum - What Slowness Taught Me About Enoughness If you’ve been moving through your days in a fog of tiredness, overwhelm, or “just keep going” mode, this conversation is for you. In this episode, I share a quieter season I didn’t choose - when illness slowed our home, routines unravelled, and I had to listen to what my body was really asking for. What surprised me was how much wisdom lived inside that slowness: tiny joys, small pockets of breath, and a deeper understanding that my worth isn’t tied to how much I do. We talk about: ✨ How sickness became an unexpected teacher ✨ What “enoughness” looks like in real, messy motherhood ✨ Why your body’s signals are not failures but invitations ✨ The tiny, simple practices that actually support you when you’re overwhelmed ✨ How joy can return through small, imperfect moments This isn’t a how-to or a list of fixes - it’s a soft, honest reflection for the tired mum, stretched thin, or craving permission to slow down. If you’ve been wondering why everything feels harder lately, or why you can’t keep the same pace you once did, I hope this helps you breathe a little deeper.

What I Left in Bali (and Brought Home to Motherhood)

Take a gentle breath with me as we unpack the quiet pressures that follow us - across oceans and into the daily mess of motherhood. In this week’s episode, I share the surprising truth I discovered in Bali: no matter where we go, the weight of “shoulds” can travel right along with us… unless we choose to soften, breathe, and let go - even just a little. Together, we’ll explore why real enoughness isn’t something you chase or finally “earn” after a perfect morning, a tidy house, or a flawless routine. It starts in the here and now, with a simple pause and a hand on your heart. If you’re longing for some gentle structure, I’ve created a free 3-Day Mum Reset filled with calming tools and simple practices for real, everyday life.

The Performance Trap

This week, I’m sharing the story behind why I quit filming yoga flows for Instagram and how that single act helped me reclaim my practice (and my peace) from the grip of performance. We’ll talk about how the pressure to “get it right” shows up everywhere (from the yoga mat to motherhood) and what it really means to come home to yourself. Inside this episode: * The hidden cost of turning your practice into a performance * A grounding “Enoughness” presence practice you can use anytime * Real talk from the Enoughness Corner: guilt, comparison, and how to break free * How to anchor into your own inner authority, on and off the mat ✨ Ready to take this work deeper?
