Hi Mums Happy Easter just up with my baby who is not sleeping

Hi Mums Happy International Women's Day! and welcome to another installment of The Confident Mum Mumspiration Monday. While there is still a long way to go for women, women are doing so many great things and this week's guest is no exception, in fact, she has been a trailblazer in her field for years! She is the fabulous Kubi Springer of @shebuildsbrands.  Now Mum's you may be thinking BRANDING is something that relates to big corporations and/or celebrities and you are right, it does! I too was thinking this and wondered how this topic would relate back to the everyday Mum like you and me but being the expert that she is, Kubi breaks it all the way down and does so effortlessly.  In this episode we also discussed;

I really enjoyed this timely passionate discussion with Nina (who amongst many other titles which I share on the episode is a Mum, the dopeblackmums founder and 1/5 of the dopeblackmums podcast) about the importance of selfcare/love for Mums with an emphasis on black Mums and how we can actually implement more of it in our daily lives- no matter how busy we are! (cue homeschooling, breastfeeding, lockdown, pandemic etc etc). Selfcare of course is more than just "doing the things" so we also discuss the role of mindfulness, gratitude, conscious parenting and more... Remember Mums we cannot pour from empty cups so I hope this episode will encourage you to make the commitment to prioritise your selfcare this Valentines period and beyond ...
