New Mum, Who Dis?

With a background in PR and marketing, Janika has been telling stories for decades. The birth of her second child was both traumatic, and transformative - forcing her and her husband to reassess everything, and choose a different kind of life. She now uses this experience to help others harness the power of their own stories as a catalyst for positive change. I hope you're as inspired by Janika's story as I was, and use it as a starting point to start asking yourselves the right questions about the life you want for yourself and your family!You can listen to Just You, Janika's podcast here, and follow her work at her website.

If you're anything like me, you're going to have at least one moment today where you doubt yourself and your ability as a parent. 'Mindful Mama' is my gift to you. Your chance to stop, reflect, breathe, or just give yourself five minutes alone. These are short episodes themed around the unique trials of parenthood (and general life in 2022). So listen in the car, in the bath, or locked in your bedroom while the kids are watching YouTube! I hope today's message makes your day a bit easier :)x ash

If you missed Season 2 Episode 3 with Dr. Shefali - or even if you just listened to it and forgot what we discussed, here's an AMAZING little snippet that has really changed the way I think about how I parent. The idea that our children are born full of joy and wonder, already whole and complete is something we inherently know to be true...so why do we try so hard to improve them? Is it more about US? Eek! Enjoy this Friday quickie x
