When she first had a baby, Podcaster and Blogger Ruth Amos, discovered she just didn’t know herself. It took years to work it out. To her surprise, she finally realized that it was all because she’s an introvert!

How could she have got it so wrong? she wondered. Becoming a mother is always a shock. Somehow, things are always a little different to what you expected.

In this podcast, Ruth Amos explains what threw her about motherhood. And how it all changed. Because one day, everything made sense as she understood herself as an introvert mother.

So now, she suggests to every mother that it’s really important to know yourself. Because an introvert mother will have one set of expectations, and for an extrovert mother, life will be completely different. So which type are you?
