Parenthood

So many transitions happening with one kid going into prep next year and the other leaving daycare for ELC.

So I took to the podcast to reflect on the year that has been in this bonus SOLO episode. I chat (to myself) about:

🎙 School mum life; my tips and experiences

🎙 Why I burnt out this year

🎙 Why we need to be patient with our goals

🎙 Handling continuous meltdowns - they should call it the terrible 3’s and 4’s

and much more...

Episode 116 - This week I chat to one of my fabulous mentors, Zoe Marshall (@zoebmarshall). We discuss her existential crisis in May and how that has changed her forever. We delve into:

🎙 Feeling ‘meh’ about life and not knowing if we can go on

🎙 Being obsessed with the ‘doing’ and ‘success’ until we reach burnout

🎙 How a health crisis led to reframing what’s important in life

🎙 Is rest really lazy?

And so much more…

🎙 How we (try to) share the household tasks

🎙 What we have resentment over in our relationships

🎙 Reaching boiling point over dinner
