You’re Not Alone in the Stretch
Encouragement, faith, and real support for every season of motherhood.
Hi, I’m Louise.
I’m a wife, a mum of five, and someone who understands the beauty and the stretch that comes with family life.
Over the years, I’ve learned that motherhood isn’t something we’re meant to navigate alone. It’s full of questions, transitions, and moments where we’re growing just as much as our children are.
My heart is to encourage and strengthen women in every season, whether you’re raising toddlers, navigating the in-between years, or walking with your teenagers into adulthood.
I love creating spaces where women can pause, be honest, ask questions, and find real encouragement for everyday life.
Alongside leading Glow Church with my husband Andrew, my greatest joy is building family and helping others do the same.
If you’re in the middle of your own stretch, you’re not alone and you’re in the right place.

Join Me in the Stretch
Living in the Stretch Circles are small WhatsApp groups hosted by myself, created for conversation, questions, and encouragement as you navigate the stretch of parenting.
Each group is made up of mums in a similar season of life, creating a space that feels personal, honest, and supportive.
Alongside the WhatsApp Circles, we'll gather once a month on Zoom for a time to connect more deeply, be encouraged and grow together.
Groups are formed around three stages of parenting:
Toddlers, In-Betweens, and Teens.
Places are limited to keep each Circle meaningful and connected. If this feels right for you, follow the link below to apply. Hope to see you in a circle soon!
Living in the Stretch
This book was written in the middle of real life, the joys, the challenges, and all the moments in between.
Living in the Stretch is an honest and encouraging companion for mothers navigating the changing seasons of family life. It’s not about having all the answers, but about finding strength, perspective, and faith right where you are.
Whether you’re in a season of growth, uncertainty, or simply needing a reminder that you’re not alone, my hope is that these pages feel like sitting down together over a cup of tea.
Something you can return to, again and again, whenever you need it.
If you feel it could encourage you, or someone you know, you can order a copy from Amazon.

This is our parenting show with real conversations from our own family life.
In each episode, Andrew and I sit down with our children and talk honestly about the everyday challenges, questions, and moments that come with raising a family.
It’s not about having perfect answers, but about navigating it together, with faith, wisdom, and a bit of perspective along the way.

Proverbs 31 Woman
This is a short video study exploring the wisdom of Proverbs 31 in a real and relatable way.
Together, we look at what it means to live with strength, courage, and compassion, not as an ideal to chase, but as something that can take shape in everyday life. These reflections are simple, thoughtful, and rooted in Scripture, designed to encourage you in the season you’re in.
