    What if joy wasn't something you had to earn?And what if the reason it feels so far away isn't because you're doing it wrong - but because your body doesn't feel safe enough to receive it?In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Danielle Brooker - Motherhood Joy Coach, speaker, and mentor - who helps Mums break free from exhaustion, ditch the pressure to ‘do it right,' and expand their capacity for joy without self-sacrifice.Danielle offers a radical reframe: that true, sustainable joy isn't found in more bubble baths or 'perfect' to-do lists. It's found in the body, when our nervous system feels safe enough to soften.Together, we explore:Why so many mothers feel stuck in survival modeHow nervous system regulation is the missing link in accessing lasting joyWhy “just think positive” culture can leave women feeling unseen and unsupportedDanielle's personal story of burnout and what it really means to “do your thing” in alignment with joyPractical, embodied ways to begin reconnecting with joy - even amidst the chaos of MotherhoodWe also talk about Danielle's free online retreat happening from 20–23 May 2025 - Mama Joy Ignite - a soulful, spacious event for big-hearted, ambitious mothers ready to reconnect with themselves, break free of the mess, and ignite their joy.Along with 18+ other inspiring experts I'm honoured to be a speaker at this retreat too - leading a juicy, soul-deep conversation and visualisation to help you lighten the maternal mental load.

    In this week's powerful episode of Do Your Thing I'm joined by my friend, fellow coach, and Mama Rising™ Facilitator Katrina Court, for a deeply honest and validating conversation about the one word that helped her reclaim herself after becoming a mother: Matrescence.Matrescence is the often-ignored, yet transformational shift that occurs as we journey from woman to mother. And yet, most of us have never even heard the word.Released during Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, this episode shines a light on why Motherhood can feel so overwhelming and discombobulating, and why understanding matrescence could be the missing piece in making sense of it all.During this conversation, Katrina and I explore:Her raw and relatable early Motherhood experience - and the identity crisis that followedThe pressure to “bounce back” and how discovering matrescence freed her from thatWhat matrescence actually is, how long it can last, and why it affects every mumWhy recognising this transition is essential for self-compassion and mental wellbeingHow it's changed the way she "does her thing" in her personal and professional lifeThe first steps she recommends for any Mums feeling lost in the thick of matrescenceThis conversation is a must-listen for any mother who has ever thought “Why is this so hard?” - and is ready to feel seen, heard, and supported

And through her work she helps kind-hearted but ambitious coaches package up their purpose and magic and attract more 'ready-to-grow' clients with a scalable signature programme that actually sells. Discovering our purpose can feel like a big, overwhelming task - especially when we also have so much Motherhood stuff on our plates vying for our attention! But during this convo Sarah manages to de-mystify and diffuse the stickiness that can accompany the topic in a way that feels down to earth, reassuing and exciting.During this episode Sarah shares:>> How she transitioned from working in corporate to starting her own business and how her subsequent life choices have been led by her strong and evolving sense of purpose. >> How it is possible to release the pressure that can often accompany the ‘what is my purpose' question>> Some accessible and clarifying stepping stones to strengthen our connection to our WHY so we can 'do our thing' personally, professionally and as a MumIf this episode laves you feeling fired up to get your purpose clarified then you may want to check out:>> Sarah's free ‘Fruitful Founder Mindmap' HERE>> My ‘Live Your Life On Purpose' workshop HEREPODCAST REFERENCES: >> Finding Your Purpose At Work - Dan Cable on The Squiggly Careers Podcast (LISTEN HERE)FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SARAH CLARKE:>> Follow Sarah's on Instagram HERE and LinkedIn HERE>> Visit Sarah's website and find out how to work with her HERE (including how to join the next cohort of her Fruitful Founder programme)ABOUT YOUR PODCAST HOST, TAMSIN WILLIAMSON:>> Find out how to work with me HERE>> Book a FREE 30-min discovery call with me HERE>> Follow me on Instagram HERE>> Download my FREE guide: CLAIM YOUR COMEBACK - 20 simple but powerful hacks to go from 'Meh!' to 'Mojo!' after kids Hosted on Acast.

Zoe is a connection expert who runs a business called MoveThru helping mums rebuild their friendships, romantic relationships, and social lives after having children. She understands the loneliness and disconnect that can accompany motherhood and offers practical tools to revive meaningful relationships.It's no secret that Motherhood can shake up our relationships big time - mainly because our relationship with OURSELVES goes through such a significant transition, causing an inevitable ripple effect on our wider circles and dynamics.However, rather than surrendering to the social challenges Motherhood can throw at us, Zoe passionately champions an alternative approach - one where we get to honour our most important relationships WHILE also honouring ourselves as Mothers. YUP - it doesn't have to be a choice! This conversation is packed full of gold, where Zoe shares all sorts including: The challenging impact that Motherhood had on her social life and relationship - and how she navigated her way throughThe reasons we can find it so difficult to invest time in our relationships alongside raising our kidsWhy it is SO important to maintain meaningful relationships as a MumSome answers to the million dollar question: How do we do it????

But doing life without the presence of true and authentic joy for ourselves can make the journey of raising kids feel pretty deflating and and during this conversation I explore with Cat how we can learn to reclaim our joy EVEN when life feels heavy and full, and reframe our joy into something we can all access every day of our lives.

    Most Mums I speak to know the feeling of the 'Invisible Maternal Load' all too well - and yet often they feel the weight of it before they truly understand what it is. At times, it can feel utterly inescapable for us as Mums where we feel so weighed down by the never-ending ticker tape of mental, emotional and domestic responsibilities we're wading through, day in day out. A load that they often feel nobody else in the family truly understands, recognises or appreciates. But while feeling utterly overwhelmed by all of the to-dos and needs whirling round our heads - we can also simultaneously resign ourselves to believing that this is just how Motherhood is. Subsequently leaving us feeling EVEN more frustrated, unfulfilled, stuck - and even resentful - which isn't ever going to be any good for anyone. BUT HERE'S THE THING: that belief you're holding onto is BULLSH*T and there is 100% another way! And I want you to know that it is absolutely possible for us to break free from the draining, disempowering shackles of this invisible maternal load - and feel a whole lot lighter, more liberated and empowered in ourselves and how we show up in our daily lives. But first we need to understand the often unspoken intricacies of this 'invisible maternal load' phenomenon so we can tackle it head on! And during this episode I hope to help enlighten you on this topic, so you can start making those important first moves to lightening that load for yourself. During this episode I explain: - What the 'Invisible Maternal Load' is - The often unspoken reasons WHY so many Mums are affected by it - A fresh perspective to adopt around the your relationship with the 'Invisible Maternal Load'- How to start breaking free from it's power, and do things differentlyPODCAST REFERENCESFor more information about Eve Rodsky's Fair Play Method click HEREABOUT ME!

Emma is a Business Coach for busy mums, a Self Care Expert and Educator supporting mums who are juggling the school run and growing a business.

Technology is almost unavoidable in today's day and age – and can have a really profound (often negative) impact on us, as individuals and as parents. I certainly find that technology (especially my iPhone) can make raising kids quite stressful and it has had quite a profound impact on my mental health at times too. So I was eagerly soaking up all of Sam's wisdom!! During this conversation Sam shares how her own addiction to her smartphone and research into why this happens helped her to establish a more positive way of incorporating technology into her home life PLUS how her background in Organisational Psychology led her into a career as a digital wellbeing coach working with individuals, businesses and schools to manage their relationship with the digital world to promote positive use, rather than causing a negative impact on their lives.During this episode Sam imparts some invaluable and highly accessible tips and insights that really highlight why creating and embedding these new habits is so important - for our own wellbeing as well as our kids.

Emily is also trained in Somatics and subsequently a big believer in brain body parenting and parenting in tune with all the nervous systems in the household. During this episode, Emily shares invaluable insights around WHY so many women find themselves struck down by shame during Motherhood, and tells her own story with so much openness and honesty during about how she experienced profound shame when she became a Mum - and the impact that had on her self-esteem, relationships and sense of identity as a whole. Emily goes on to shares the healing journey she went on in order to face, process and overcome her deep-rooted shame by cultivating what she describes as "Shame Resilience", which forms a core focus of her work, and she generously guides listeners to become more shame resilient themselves so they can ultimately live more authentic and joyful lives alongside raising their kids. I really hope this episode helps normalise some of these deeply uncomfortable feelings that can so commonly come up during Motherhood - because the more we talk about them, the less alone we'll all feel.FIND OUT MORE ABOUT EMILY HUGHES:- Follow Emily on Instagram HERE- Visit Emily's website and find out more about her work HERE- Access Emily's FREE masterclass: Stop Yelling & Start Thriving HEREABOUT ME!

Michaela specialises in the intersection between perfectionism and ADHD, and through her work she helps ambitious female leaders with ADHD burn bright without burning out, finding sustainable success using her Pause Purpose Play framework in group coaching, therapy and speaking. During this fascinating conversation, Michaela shares the impact that her late ADHD diagnosis had on her journey - personally, professionally and in Motherhood. She explains how her NOT knowing about her own neurodivergence had previously created all sorts of stress and chaos in her life and sense of self.But as soon as this missing piece of the puzzle was revealed she felt the freedom to drop the mask and claim FULL and unapologetic ownership over her WHOLE life and self. Michaela subsequently stands as a beacon to inspire other neurodivergent female leaders to do THEIR thing authentically, loudly and proudly as themselves and I'm sure you'll agree that the way her contagious energy and passion radiates out of this conversation undeniably reinfoirces what a brilliant champion she must be for her lucky clients and community.

Because exactly five years ago this week, I resigned from my longstanding marketing career - which marked the start of MY epic next chapter, after having my kids.I've been reflecting a lot on the journey I went on that led me to feeling clear enough - brave enough - confident enough to take that leap. And probably uncoincidentally, I've realised just how many parallells there are between the journey I went on personally, and the journey I have guided so many Mums on to support THEM to step through The Gateway into the next phase of THEIR lives as well. I know that so many of YOU are currently considering how to make some well-needed changes in your lives alongside Motherhood - and perhaps feeling all kinds of 'stuck' trying to get off that starting block. So I thought I'd use this episode as an opportunity to share some more detail around the process that I went through.Including the highs, the lows, the lessons and mistakes I made along the way - that enabled me to bridge the seemingly 'shark-infested' gap between feeling frustrated, fed up and unfulfilled in my life and career....and stepping into a life that felt and continues to feel joyfully and unapologetically like ME!

But too often our own deeper needs and aspirations get buried under a pile of laundry or fall to the bottom of the to-do list, because everything else is seemingly way more urgent! BUT, when we don't prioritise or invest in ourselves it can ultimately work against us, and we can feel trapped in our life rather than in charge of it.So, it is really important that we find ways to continually champion and invest in ourselves as individuals, as well as parents.Investing in ourselves is not selfish and doesn't have to involve pots of cash either!It is, in fact, a very powerful act of self care.

    During this episode I talk to Helen Cammack about how the act of purposefully planning her experience of parenthood ahead of time has had a profound impact on how she does her thing in her life in life and Motherhoodd. After a successful corporate career and several start-up businesses, becoming a parent nearly didn't happen for Helen because she just couldn't see past the challenges of parenthood, and couldn't figure out how it would work for her. Helen was anxious about becoming a parent for many years, until she finally overcame that anxiety with the planning and preparation required as part of the adoption process. And when she finally adopted her two children when she was nearly 43 she felt ready to embrace parenthood, her way, and her anxiety dissipated. 7 years later, Helen is now the founder of Preparental.com, a business to help all future parents (not just adopters) with their practical planning and preparation for being parents Whether you're a natural planner or not, this episode offers so much food for thought around the power of approaching life as a parent with our eyes and minds wide open. Because, as Helen so beautifully shares in this episode, she believes that planning and preparing your life - not just your body - for parenthood, enables parents to be more confident, purposeful, aligned and intentional, and much more likely to enjoy the parenthood ride in our own unique and ownable ways.

    This episode of Do Your Thing is another gorgeous conversation from my Instagram live archives where I spoke to Tricia Murray all about about navigating anxiety as a parent. Tricia is a Mum of 4 boys, and she is also a Mind Coach and Business Mentor, helping anxious, stressed and frazzled women find calm and ease in their lives and businesses. As well as supporting women with anxiety Tricia has also been on her own anxiety journey, only realising in her 30's that what she had experienced throughout her life WAS actually anxiety. It was only when Tricia was well into Motherhood that she really began to understand and take back control of her anxiety - and in turn also support hundreds of other women to do the same. Anxiety is a topic that I know will be relevant to so many of us (myself included) and parenthood can be a real trigger as well as a powerful motivation to support ourselves. And during this conversation Tricia talks so insightfully about the topic armed with a huge amount of both personal and professional wisdom, experience and empathy. I really this episode provides you with some support, solidarity and suggestions to help you realise you CAN take back control over your difficult thoughts and feelings, and that your anxiety doesnt need to define you or your experience of Motherhood.

Please prioritise looking after your mental and emotional wellbeing as a priority before listening to this episode.It was a pleasure to welcome Caroline Marshall to the pod, who is a Mum of 2 boys, the founder of a multi award winning Virtual Assistant Agency Upsource and podcast host of the show ‘Bump to Business owner'. In this episode Caroline shares how she coped and adapted following a series of unexpected curveballs in her life and career, culminating with the most shocking and unexpected eventuality of all when her second child suddenly became seriously unwell immediately after he was born, requiring a prolonged stay in NICU (the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) in the middle of the pandemic. Thankfully Caroline's son made a full recovery. But, this Traumatic event and experience as a NICU Mum has understandably had a profound effect on Caroline's outlook on the world, mental health and how she has subsequently gone on to 'do her thing' in life, business, relationships and motherhood.During our conversation Caroline bravely shares the details of this life-changing experience, including the steps she took to grieve, process, adapt and heal following her Trauma. And the space we created also gave me permission to share the details of my own difficult birth experience with my first child, which also involved a stay in NICU, and which I only began processing in the last couple years. This is a vulnerable and powerful conversation which I'm so grateful to Caroline for having with me. And I hope her words offer hope and strength to anyone navigating the aftermath of their own traumatic experience right now, and help listeners feel better resourced to support loved ones who may be struggling.

    "Anger is the guardian of sadness and other emotions"These words played a pivotal role in how I understand and deal with my own big feelings that show up as rage in my life. And in this episode I wanted to share some more background to this transformational concept, in the hope that it supports you to work through your own big emotions that may rear their heads (and make a whole big mess!) while on your Motherhood journey. Rage in motherhood is so very real for so many of us - so many of my clients and friends tell me how they really struggle to keep a handle on their angry reactions and outbursts, especially since becoming a Mum. ‘Doing Your Thing' can also feel so much harder when we are blinded by such overpowering emotions. So I hope this short podcast episode helps to both normalise the big feelings you may be experiencing in Motherhood, and helps you show yourself some more compassion and feel more supported and resourced in yourself when the red mist swoops on in.

Jo has 2 grown up kids (aged 18 and 21), she is the Director of coaching school 'Wellness Professionals At Work' PLUS she is also a trained Homeopath, Life Coach and a qualified teacher. During this conversation Jo shares how her own childhood health struggles (which came with an inability to find an adequate remedy via conventional medicine) introduced her to the world of homeopathy, which later down the line also motivated her to raise her family using natural health and wellness remedies and techniques. What I found especially refreshing was that Jo is not ANTI conventional medicine at all – but rather she is PRO choice, and has learnt how to intuitively integrate conventional medicine into her own natural approach. This episode is a beautiful lesson in trusting your gut instincts, championing open communication with your kids about how they are feeling and cultivating a sense of empowerment when it comes to taking responsibity for our own health and wellbeing. It inspired me to seek out support from a homeopath - and I hope it offers you you some valuable food for thought too.

    Have you found it harder to tune into YOUR right decisions since becoming a parent? I definitely experienced a huge amount of tiring indecision when I became a Mum, and at times found it almost impossible at times to reconcile certain choices for myself and my life - in case I made the wrong one! And this is something that my podcast guest this week, Sarah Billingham, found really challenging to navigate when she became a parent, which she talks about in detail in this highly relatable episode. Sarah is a Mum of 2, a specialist speech and language therapist, the founder of her business Confident Kids and the host of her own brilliant podcast called Raising Confident Kids with SEN - and through her work Sarah equips parents, carers and practitioners with expert knowledge and tools to support children with Special educational needs. Despite having always carved out her own path with relative ease pre-kids, Sarah shares the strong internal conflict she experienced after becoming a parent which subsequently invited her to challenge and re-construct the way she made choices for herself, her family and her professional future. But that process was far from straightforward and through this chat Sarah shares the powerful journey she has been on, learning to navigate the loud internal debating and deliberating inside her head in order to Do Her Thing in life and parenthood with so much more confidence and conviction.

Her experiences have ultimately driven her to champion these areas through her work, speaking and the writing of her first book – which is called Get Your Mojo Back, Sex, Pleasure and Intimacy After Birth (see below for a 10% discount code exclusive for Do Your Thing listeners) Sex, pleasure and identity in Motherhood are so often put right to the bottom of the to do list as mothers - we are always focusing on other people.PLUS as women we are suffocated by so many societal and emotional shame barriers that can block our ability to speak out, connect with others or ask for help in these areas. But, through this conversation Clio shares why our pleasure and sexual wellbeing are in fact an intrinsic part of our overall health and wellbeing as Mums – and how we absolutely do NOT have to resign ourselves to a sex-life less ordinary after kids if we don't want to.

Donna is a Mum of two boys and a London-based Power Portrait, personal branding and event photographer.Donna is also a brilliant writer and she wrote a powerful blog in May 2022 on the topic of grief, having lost her own father at the age of 16 - and has shared all sorts of thought provoking content on the subject since then. Grief is such a nuanced topic and the older we get the more grief and loss becomes an inevitable reality, sometimes in the most unexpected of ways. So, it was so interesting to explore this (often unspoken) topic of grief with Donna in more detail and understand how she has navigated her own grief journey while also navigating parenthood. During this conversation we discuss…- The power behind vocalising and sharing our grief as a way of processing our own emotions, and connecting with others through that shared experience - Donna shares how her grief journey is proving to be a life-long, constantly evolving journey that has naturally woven its way into her parenthood and parenting experience- And we reflected on how so many of us may experience grief BEYOND losing a loved one – and the importance of granting ourselves permission to really feel into our emotions rather than hide away from them(NB: please excuse a few recording and sound imperfections on this episode, part of which was originally recorded as an Instagram live rather than using a professional podcast setup.

    This week I'm sharing a wonderfully down-to-earth and relatable conversation I had with Menopause Coach and Therapist, Louisa Hussey, about how she has found a way to ‘do her thing' in life and Motherhood while navigating what she describes as being ‘the worst menopause ever' If you're a woman, menopause is an inevitability – whether you care to face that reality or not! And as Louisa shares, while we will all have different experiences, for some the menopause can be a pretty turbulent time of our lives IF we don't have the tools or support to take ownership of how our bodies are changing and what we really need. Off the back of her own challenging menopause journey Lou has not only found her own way to regain control over how her life looks and feels but has also used her experience to support other women "being kicked in the tits by their hormones" (which I think probs gives you a sense of her vibe!) During this wonderful (and highly entertaining!) chat we discussed so much including: The importance of de-stigmatising the menopause and instead owning this chapter of our lives for ourselves, head onThe power of self-trust and staying connected to ourselves, even when we're finding it hard to recognise ourselvesLou shares how leaning into simplicity and ease has been a key survival technique for her, plus shares a heap of other amazing tips to help you do the menopause in a you-shaped wayGUEST INFORMATION:- Find out more about Louisa and her work: www.louisahussey.com- Follow Louisa on Instagram: https://instagram.com/louisahusseyABOUT YOUR PODCAST HOST, TAMSIN WILLIAMSON (The Parenthood Coach):- Find out more about me and my coaching work - https://theparenthoodcoach.co.uk- Book in a FREE 30-minute discovery call to explore working together HERE- Follow me on Instagram - https://instagram.com/theparenthoodcoach- Join my email community - The Parenthood Retreat Hosted on Acast.

    This episode of Do Your Thing is another wonderful conversation from my Instagram live archives where I speak to the inspiring Polly Lavarello about how she ‘does her thing' as a co-parent to her kids. Polly is an evergreen coach, mentor and scaling strategist for audaciously ambitious and highly-skilled business owners. PLUS she's a devoted Mum to her 2 kids who she co-parents with her ex-husband, who lives abroad.Polly shares some brilliant wisdom and insight here that I'm certain will inspire and offer support, solidarity and hope to anyone navigating a family separation right now. During this conversation... >> We chatted about how Polly's overall lifestyle, sense of identity and experience of Motherhood have been profoundly impacted by her unique parenting set-up. >> Polly explains how navigating co-parenting her kids has been an understandably emotional and testing experience that she's needed to give space to evolve and grow into over time. >> Polly shares how she navigated the most challenging times to ultimately establish her own empowering, joyful and aligned way to 'do her thing' in life and motherhood both during the times she's with her kids and also when they are apart.

    In this episode of Do Your Thing I had the pleasure of talking to Emma Cossey all about how she ‘Does Her Thing' navigating life and parenthood with ADHD. As well as being a Mum, Emma is a coach and mentor for freelancers.PLUS Emma is also neurodivergent, diagnosed with ADHD in 2022 - and her son who is 9 also has ADHD. So therefore, everything Emma does in life, business and parenthood is designed and adapted to be as dopamine-friendly as possible to support the unique needs of both herself and her family. Through her coaching work Emma also extends her expertise to support freelancers (many of whom are neurodivergent) to develop their businesses in alignment with the way their brains work! This conversation was fascinating and inspring! Among so many other things we talked about:>> The challenges of letting go of neuro-typical advice, especially when it comes to doing motherhood with ADHD >> Emma shares how misunderstood she felt growing up without an ADHD diagnosis and how owning her ‘neurodiverse' and ADHD labels has massively enhanced her self-esteem, professional aspirations and relationship with her son >> We also finished up having a really juicy chat about the shame so commonly attached to not finding motherhood fulfilling – and how Emma's ADHD has offered her a welcome invitation to do parenthood HER way.

    This episode is one of my absolute favourites from my Instagram live archives where I speak to Sarah Newlands about her sobriety journey, and how her relationship with alcohol has shaped the way she does her thing in life, motherhood - and everything in between. Sarah made the big, bold and brave decision to go sober over 5.5 years ago, and went on to use her insights and experience to support others on their sobriety journey. At the time of recording she was practicing as a Sobriety Coach but has since moved on to explore another professional avenue. However she still supports and is very much connected to the alcohol-free community especially through THE DRYY APP . Sarah shares her journey with so much openness, honesty, passion and vulnerability, covering so many topics including: >> How she reached the turning point to go sober and why this lifestyle choice matters to much to her >> The profound impact sobriety has had on her mental health, life choices and experience of Motherhood >> The joys and the challenges attached to being alcohol-free >> Some invaluable tips, support and wisdom for anyone that is sober-curious or ready to consider a change in their relationship with drinking. This is such an important conversation so I hope you find this a supportive and enlightening episode full of valuable reflections.

    During this weeks episode I talk to Emily Armitage about how she ‘Does Her Thing' by embracing her Human Design. Emily is a Mum of one, and a business coach, strategist and Human Design translator. And she is obsessed with supporting female founders (with big dreams) to ditch the 'should's', make more money and smash the patriarchy by showing up in life and business as their most fully expressed selves. Ever since Emily discovered the magic of Human Design she has felt empowered and liberated to show up in her life, career and parenthood so much more confidently and authentically BUT it's safe to say that many of us won't have a clue what Human Design is, let alone how it could change our lives for the better. So I hope this fascinating and highly informative conversation will enlighted you about Human Design as much as it did me! In this episode Emily explains what Human Design is and how it can help you discover and de-code who you are and provide a supportive framework to ‘do your thing' accross all parts of your life. She shares how her Human Design has profoundly shaped her sense of identity, parenting and professional journey. And she unpacks how, as women, we can use our Human Design to challenge the programming of our own societal conditioning and instead take steps to live our lives and raise our kids with integrity, self-trust and deep self-compassion.

And I'm bringing you a beautiful and energising conversation that I had with Prathana Rao who is a Mum of 2 girls, a fellow coach and mentor for Mums and the proud founder of The Maverick Mum™ Movement. Through her work Prarthana empowers mothers to discover their inner strength, reignite their passions and connect with their true purpose so they can lead a truly beautiful life.And in this episode we talked all about falling truly, madly, deeply and unapologetically in love… with YOURSELF as a way of ‘doing your thing' in life and Motherhood. Self love is one of those subjects that is discussed all the time – and yet when it comes to Motherhood it can feel so very out of reach as we channel so much of our love into our kids and families. But this conversation really highlights how there IS another way to approach self-love which will mean we CAN enjoy the experience of motherhood and womanhood in the way we deserve. During this conversation we talked about…- Why loving ourselves can feel like such an uncomfortable and alien concept to us, especially as Mums- The notion of ‘filling your cup' and why we need to aspire to be ‘full of ourselves' for both our own happiness, and the future happiness of our kids- The stark difference between self care and self love which is so often confused(NB: please excuse a few recording and sound imperfections on this episode, part of which was originally recorded as an Instagram live rather than using a professional podcast setup.
