Always remember, that it is healthy to take a step back, to leave your child with a trusted babysitter or parent and do the things that make you feel like a human being. You're not just a mother, and you matter too! Don't forget to follow this podcast on instagram @thewholesomemamapodcast subscribe and leave a rating or review :)
