SUCH a great discussion in the ShonaStrong Mums group chat earlier. The question: do you feel like "prioritising yourself" is just another pressure heaped upon us as Mums? And what came out is a general consensus that we struggle to prioritise ourselves with the same ease as our partners. Why is this?
