How Jana Pittman Turns ‘Adorable Chaos’ into a Winning Game Plan for Six Kids

Jana Pittman cheerfully admits her daily life is “utter adorable chaos.” 🏃‍♀️🩺 As a practising doctor and mother of six, she navigates clinics, homework, and bedtime stories with Olympic-level stamina. The past two years, she says, have been the most challenging and rewarding chapter of her journey.

Determined not to drop any spinning plates, Pittman layers medical shifts, media work, charity events, and—just for fun—a full house move into her crammed calendar. 📅💪 She jokes that diary management has become an extreme sport of its own.

After two au pairs left with little notice, she leaned on her “village,” selling her house and relocating closer to her parents for backup. 🏡👵👴 The extra hands make solo parenting do-able, though the workload is still immense.

Even with family nearby, spare minutes are rare. Between hospital shifts at the Royal Hospital for Women, further study, and endless kids’ activities, personal time is a luxury she rarely grants herself—but she insists the trade-off is worth it. ⏳❤️

Mom-guilt does creep in—missed workouts and crowded co-sleeping nights are common—but she keeps her focus on the kids’ emotional needs, especially during the recent move. 🛏️😴 She noticed their behaviour “go haywire” and outsourced tasks where possible to stay calm.

By sharing the hiccups as openly as the highlights, Pittman hopes to cheer on other working parents. 🎤✨ Her mantra: ditch the guilt, set realistic goals, and remember that rough seas can still lead to bright horizons.

Pittman’s story proves that big dreams don’t have to shrink when family grows; they just need better choreography—and a generous dash of grace. 🌈
