You are going to smash it.... showing up..

When your children say to you, “Mum, you’re going to smash it,” it makes you pause. It makes you reflect on the confidence they have in you, the belief they hold so naturally, sometimes more than you hold in yourself. There’s something special about those moments when you realise others recognise you are  showing up. Not in a loud, flashy kind of way, but in the quiet, steady, deeply personal sense of being there for others. 

“Showing up” isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. It’s the tiny decisions you make, the small actions you take, especially on the days when you’re unsure, tired, or lacking a bit of self-belief. It’s choosing to step in and step up anyway. Others often see it before you do. They see your consistency, your support, your willingness to stand beside them. They feel the trust, the dependability, the heart you bring to the situation, even when you don’t recognise it in yourself. “Smashing it” isn’t about doing something extraordinary. It’s about being there. Really being there for others. And that’s what showing up is all about.
