Listen Later

Passionate about taking therapy out of the therapy room, psychotherapist Anna Mathur is widely celebrated for her accessible mental health advice and light-bulb moments she offers mothers on Instagram and in her popular parenting books such as "Mind Over Mother" and "Know Your Worth." 

Anna shares her personal experience with burnout and emphasises that taking time to recharge is an act of love not only for oneself but also for one's children. From anxiety and guilt to the importance of self-care, Anna shares invaluable insights and practical advice to help manage these pervasive issues experienced in parenthood. By addressing the source of guilt, showing compassion for oneself, and making small adjustments, Anna shows how parents can better cope with these overwhelming emotions.

Anna’s book "The Uncomfortable Truth Change Your Life By Taming 10 of Your Mind's Greatest Fears"  is out on August 8th.
