I’m back from my 2 weeks of ghosting you team. We’ve had 4 cases of gastro, 2 ambulances called and an emergency appendectomy in this last 2 weeks, hence the radio silence. But I’m here to tell you all about and the current state of affairs parenting my pre-teen. Thanks for showing up! Love you!

Hey team, today is a quickie. I want you all to check in with your mental health and reflect on the last few weeks.    

Feeling like a fraud? Faking it till you make it? You my friend are not alone!

Deep diving into the magical world of anxiety on this weeks ep. Anxiety in general, Anxiety in parenting, Anxiety in our children, And how to practically get through it all.

It’s the buzz term of parenting this week. I chat about matrescence, I delve into adolescence … to be honest it’s a bit loose. Great to be back team!

Its a bit of a fan girl ep this week as I talk about Em Rusciano and her National Press Club Address. Have a listen to the Emsolation Podcast and see what I'm on about. Its all about Neuro Diversity and being brave. Enjoy!

Today I talk about a great podcast ep I listened to about working mums and it had me flip flopping all over the place. I just want the mummas to know that no matter what decision you make around working in the home or out of it. You’ve done the right thing for you! https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/my-career-can-wait-i-just-want-to-be-a-mum/id995159486?i=1000575291305 Follow the counselling @ittakesavillagecounselling Follow the fam @tribeoflittlepeople

Hey team, this week, its a lesson we all need to be reminded of. We need to prioritise making choices to make ourselves happy. We need to be kind to ourselves. I hope you need this one as much as I do. Head on over to @ittakesavillagecounselling on Insta for all the magnetty goodness. 

Not just for the freshly post partum mummas, in the ep I'm coving how to create a better mindset around the way we see our bodies after babies.   Here are the mantras I talk about in the ep; This body literally created this human. My baby relies on this body to keep it fed (if you are feeding). I will not compare my body to other bodies. Every womans' situation is different. I will be honest with those who love me and try to listen when they tell me nice things. I am giving myself time. I am worth the effort. I will accept what happens and not be disappointed if I cant do it all. I don’t have to do it all. I can do hard things.

Toxic positivity ... YUCK! Toxic self-care culture ... EW! Toxicity in general ... I'M JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU! I've set us a challenge, to keep it real. Are you in?

In todays ep I'm touching on a personal story from my own life this week. I'm putting it out there so it may resonate with someone dealing with a similar issue. I just want you to know you're not alone and that even when you feel all the guilt, you have to remember you are still human and there's always something we can lean in every situation.
