Solo Ep – Q&A: how do we fit it all in, setting boundaries, fitness & wellbeing, perimenopause and more

Season 9, Ep. 159

This week I’m answering your questions from a questions box I put up on Insta. I tackle:


🎙 How I try to fit it all in and get organised on the daily


🎙 How I set boundaries or try to; because I’m done with being swept of my feet!


🎙 How I try to fit in exercise and prioritise me


🎙 Lower back issues, perimenopause


And so much more…
