The Truth About Mental Health by Paula Sweet at Absolute Mind

I'm.... We're back!

I really do need to start by saying Thank you all so much for your continued support. The podcast has been increasing in downloads month on month even though I have not been providing you all with fresh and new content.

I explained last May that I was waiting for the birth of our baby girl. Since then, as you can imagine, life has been busy, busy, busy. But I have loved every minute of it so far.

My days are now spent with my little baby girl "Daisy" and on a Monday, I have the full day doing 1-2-1 therapy sessions. She goes to nursery and it's so cute to think she's getting new friends and experiences. I think I find it harder than her but at 9 months old I know this will help with separation anxiety and being with others. My "Step Kids"I hate that terms but its the simplest way to explain it, who are now 6 (twins)! Went to nursery from 9 months too and they are so well balanced and play well with others, so I hope history can repeat itself. Or I hope even more that this was actually something to do with their progress. LOL.

It's been nearly 10 months since the last show, and as well as having baby brain I have also battled with my own image. Those of you who know my story know I was 6 stone heavier than my "ideal weight" in my younger years and I had just managed to lose that before `I then got pregnant.

I know I should know better by my mind ran with thoughts of what if I can't get my shape back! I wasn't after perfection or wasn't overly obsessing, but I did want to prove to myself that being fat and having a baby, looking after twins and running a therapy business didn't mean that I couldn't look the way I wanted too. This has sparked a new fire inside me.

My passion now is not only helping people with Hypnosis and coaching, but I want to be more specific than that. I now want to help people who have been overweight for long periods, who don't have the right advice, will power or plan to get to their ideal body size. And, mums who have lost their way and want to get back to them again. Fat Girl Fit Mum is coming very soon.
