#22 Taking time to be parenting rather than doing parenting - in conversation with Alyssa Brade


Listen Later

I’m delighted to be joined by the lovely Alyssa Brade in this episode. 


We talk about the pressures mums put on themselves as parents and how important it is to take time for our selves. So often we get caught up in what society expects of us as mums we forget that we are all different and as different as we all are, our children are different and the context of bringing our children up is different - so wy do we all judge each other’s parenting so much and why do we find it so hard to be honest about how challenging it can be?


Alyssa Brade is a passionate advocate for maternal mental health. She is dedicated to discussing the authentic parenting struggles many of us experience. Drawing from personal experience, degrees in anthropology, linguistics, and communication, and years of multidisciplinary research, Alyssa brings her discoveries and firsthand knowledge in support of modern motherhood. Her recently published book, “Mommy Needs A Minute: From Burnout to Empowerment” is available on Amazon. It’s full of practical tips that all mums will find useful. 


I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. 


Keep shining your light!
