02. How to have a motherhood you truly love

When you became a mum, you probably spent hours thinking about your baby, but how much time did you spend thinking about your experience of motherhood?

Here’s the truth: Your wellbeing is the foundation your family grows from and research shows that a caregiver’s mental health plays a crucial role in a child’s development, especially in those first 5 years. But with all the demands of motherhood, it’s easy to put yourself last.

In this episode, I’m flipping that script. We’ll explore 3 powerful questions to help you shape a motherhood that feels good to you. You’ll also hear why it’s so important to centre your well-being, not just for yourself but for your child’s long term development.
