Hey Mumma, I get it! As a mum we have a constant to do list going through our mind and that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, especially when we can't tick things off it.

Today on the podcast I am chatting about TWO things that may be contributing to your overwhelm. And the good news is we have total control over these things and therefore can make changes, which I share in the episode too.
