LIVE COACHING CALL with Natalie

In this coaching call we discuss:

• you don't need to be on Instagram to grow your business
• how to spend less time creating content
• how to overcome perfectionism in your content

There is an overload of information online and social media can make it easy to feel like you're doing everything wrong: parenting, screen time, healthy eating, exercise, sleep, self-care, independent play, time outside, non-toxic cleaners.

If I find myself judging myself or judging others it is usually because I have forgotten this concept: there is a wide range of what is considered "healthy" for each of these topics.

Listen to this episode to learn more about this concept of the continuum of healthy balance and how it can help you live a less judgmental life.
