In this latest episode of Mums' Night Out we chat about the reality of being Dance Mums - it's a tough job but someone's got to do it!! Spoiler alert  - thankfully, our experience is nothing like the TV show Dance Moms!! No grown women screaming at each other that their kid should have a solo above someone else's child and no rival dance schools shouting at each other across the dressing room. But you do need to be quite dedicated, super-organised and it sure helps if you actually enjoy dance!! (If you're a dab hand at French plaits and ballet buns then even better!!)

Mums' Night Out is hosted by Rachel, owner of Happy Cat Kids, an online children's toy & gift store and mum to Roxy (10) and Henry (6) and Sophie, primary school teacher and Mum to Amelia (11) and Daisy (6) .

Welcome back to another quick  'Coffee Catch-up' - a weekly thought from one Mum to another! A 5 minute episode to listen to whilst downing your coffee before the baby wakes up, or you have to start work or head out on the school run!

In this episode I talk all about anxiety and worry, how it shows up for me and the things I try to do to help myself through these moments!

I want to be clear that I am by no means an expert in this field, I am simply sharing with you my personal experience in the hope that some of it may resonate with you and could help in some way.

If you do feel that you are struggling with anxiety, please do not struggle alone; talk to a friend, a partner, a family member, better still get in touch with your GP who can point you in the direction of all sorts of help that's available. Or if all that feels too confronting then, you could also head over to Mind.org.uk who have so many wonderful free resources that can help.

In this episode I mention a game-changing interview I listened to with Mo Gawdat on the How To Fail Podcast. I urge you to go and listen to this one, it is jam-packed with so many gems!

Welcome to 2022 and a new format of the Mums' Night Out Podcast! Alongside our regular episodes, once a week we will bring you a quick 'Coffee Catch-up' - a weekly thought from one Mum to another! A 5 minute episode to listen to whilst downing your coffee before the baby wakes up, or you have to start work or head out on the school run!

In this episode I talk about little things we can all add into our lives in order to prioritise ourselves just that little bit more!

I share with you 5 simple things that I add into my days in order to invest just a tiny bit more time into myself.

I talk about my love of tapping meditations/emotional freedom technique. I use the wonderful Tapping Solution App from Nick Ortner. You can start with a free version to see if you like it!

Here's the link to the Apple App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-tapping-solution/id1419815487?ls=1

And on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.datechnologies.tappingsolution

For a complete beginner's intro to tapping, I love this video of Nick Ortner with Marie Forleo (this is how I first became interested in the technique): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v__Z7c6WC0A

I also talk about a deep breathing technique that I use every day! Takes just a couple of minutes and really helps me! I use the power breath technique introduced to me at a Tony Robbins event, essentially just breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 20 seconds and breathe out for 10: https://www.tonyrobbins.com/health-vitality/just-breathe/

I also try to do my own version of 'priming' when I wake up in the morning: Here's Tony Robbins explaining how he does it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXYhfy4b5Bg I've modified this over the last few years to better suit me and what I need in the mornings. Takes me a maximum of 5 minutes!!

I hope you enjoy these quick little tips and as always come over and hang out with us over on Facebook or Instagram and if you enjoy any of our podcast episodes please do leave us a rating and review so that other Mums can find us and benefit from these episodes.

In this episode of Mums' Night Out we are joined by our very first guest - healthy habits expert Wendy Griffith.

Wendy  helps busy career mums thrive with the juggle of mum life through building sustainable health habits.  Her lifestyle coaching addresses; stress, nutrition, exercise, time management and sleep, where it’s her mission to help career mums build healthier habits, which serve the unique life of each mum.
