What motivates you to keep going during difficult times?
To hang onto perspective – be grateful to be alive and healthy.
How have you been able to prioritize your passion, purpose, and well-being alongside motherhood?
It’s all a juggle!!! Priorities change by the hour!
How do you define self-care, and what does it look like for you?
Trying (not necessarily achieving) to make time for myself. Even if it’s a dog walk in the countryside – it’s my time.
Share a moment of MOM GUILT, and what you do to manage it?
Finding out my daughter needed glasses and I had no idea, and apparently this was caused by too much time on the iPad = mum guilt!
Was there a time when you weren't aligned with your purpose or balancing yourself alongside motherhood?
That saying: “expect women to work like they don't have children, and raise children as if they don't work" - it’s a reality. I’m probably my own worst enemy as I want to have it all! I want to be there at the school pick-up every day but I also want to be able to focus on my work without interruptions!
What changes needed to be made in your life to allow you to live a life where you feel fulfilled?
Working out what really matters. Quality over quantity
What's your greatest Mom Hack that you have learned thus far in your motherhood journey?
Happy mum = happy household
