IMAGE The Motherload presents: Power in the Pause: Time to refill the cup

We all understand the concept and importance of caring for ourselves, but the reality is, between the endless lists, the snotty noses, the lost socks, the invisible labour, and everything else, pausing to reconnect with yourself can feel impossible, even laughable. It’s easy to forget the person who matters most: you. 

Join us for a special IMAGE The Motherload morning dedicated to giving mothers permission to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the energy and focus that can get lost in the busyness of life.

Hosted by IMAGE Media’s editorial director and host of IMAGE The Motherload, Dominique McMullan, this warm, honest conversation will feature a truly inspiring panel of women: Tara Rafter, master neuro-linguistic programming practitioner and professional coach; Rosemary MacCabe, writer and podcaster known for her wit and honesty on motherhood and identity; Daniella Moyles, broadcaster, author psychotherapist and founder of The Stll; and Danielle Garner, founder of Wildflower Hair Studio and advocate for self-compassion.

Together, they’ll explore why mothers find it so hard to prioritise themselves, how to manage guilt and burnout, and the simple, sustainable ways we can bring calm, joy and connection back into our lives.

We passionately believe that supporting mothers starts with supporting the woman behind the role. Join us, take a breath, and leave feeling seen, less alone and ready to take better care of you.

She was also a guest on the IMAGE The Motherload podcast.
