In this Friday guest episode of The Therapy Edit, Anna chats for a second time to Claire Russell who this times shares how she's pivoted her life to try and rediscover the version of herself that she felt had become lots in motherhood. Claire, early years specialist and Mum of 3 boys previously known as the 'play lady', is now helping Mums with more than just play.After having her third baby Raffy in 2022, Claire was struck with the uncomfortable feeling of being lost. I didn't recognise myself.In Claire's words 'It didn't look like me, I didn't feel like me and I wasn't doing all of the things I used to enjoy. I missed the 'old me'. At the time I didn't realise it but I was suffering from 'lost identity'. I felt like I was the only person feeling this way. Something had to change, it was my turn to step off the sidelines and into the spotlight! And it all started with getting to know myself again, love myself again and look after myself again. Since then I have grown physically and mentally stronger, pivoted my online business and set big goals to achieve my desired life. And now I'm enjoying helping other women to do the same and start their new chapter, whatever that might look like!'You can find out all about what Claire is now up to here. Of course you can also follow her on Instagram too.
