Sleep is one of the biggest struggles of mum life. We stay up to have that precious alone time, or we get woken up what feels like at least a million times every night.

In this episode, I dive into our sleep. Why it's important for our health, and some hot tips to make it better... even when it feels like it never will get any improvement. 

I've also created a download for you, just for sleep. You can get it at www.draliyoung.com/mamasleep

Have an amazing day!

In this episode I chat about our dreams of what our motherhood would look like before we have kids... and then how we don't really give ourselves the opportunity to dream afterwards.

Who are we in the lens of mothering, and who are we outside of that? What would we dream for ourself now, knowing what we do?

This quick chat is designed to make you ponder, become curious and explore the shift's that occur in our mindset and our life when we begin on our motherhood journey. I really hope you enjoy it.

Lisa Corduff joins me today to discuss her motherhood journey. How leaning into her motherhood, and the journey as a solo mum of three has led her to self-discovery and now helping 1000's of women around the world with her Ready for Change program (it's open now, www.lisacorduff.com )

Lisa Corduff helps women upgrade their mindset, get unstuck, and change the stuff that’s not working in their life. A solo mum of 3, she’s all about skipping straight to the hacks and techniques that actually work, while avoiding the perfectionism and overwhelm that can so easily keep us trapped.

Hey Mama!

This episode is for you if you've been feeling overwhelmed, tired, fatigued and on the precipice of the Term 4 crazies. As mum's, our light source can be stretched thin easily, and what we need to do is focus on stoking our own flames.

In this weeks episode I will have a chat all about how we can burn bright, without burning ourselves out. How as mum's, it's really important for us to be able to burn brightly for our own health and self, not just that of those around us. 

I will be hosting an inperson retreat on October 30th for anyone in CQ, www.draliyoung.com/bright I can't wait to see you there if you are ready to immerse yourself in a day of self care, knowledge acquisition and community with other mum's. 

Sammi Jaeger joins us today to chat about the elephant in the room, dating your spouse when you have kids. I remember the days where we were struggling through the early years, not a babysitter in sight, and the thought of going on a date was mind-blowing to us.

Sammi runs the Fuel Collective with her husband Nath and is the co-host of the Date Forever Podcast. She is borderline obsessed with the way the quality of our relationships impacts the quality of our lives. Sammi uses her unique blend of knowledge on businesses, relationships and contribution to work towards creating a better world. Sammi is a huge advocate of the UN Global Goals and knows that to make true global progress, it starts with the quality of our relationships.

In todays epic discussion we have a pretty good look at how our relationships can alter and change when we have kids. I hope you enjoy the show!

In this weeks episode, I welcome the amazing Donna Hann from She's In Business in to chat about her motherhood journey, her business journey, and how she had to get really accountable and attuned to herself in order to allow her true passion to thrive.

Whilst she navigated a tough time in her relationship, living on the other side of the country to a lot of her family, and a burgeoning desire to do more, she created a beautiful dance studio. Now she has moved into the world of supporting mums to have their own business and to support themselves!

Sharon Collon chats with us today about her exceptional journey into motherhood as the wife of an ADHD man and the mother to three boys with ADHD. She felt incredibly lost at the beginning of her motherhood journey as she navigated these challenges, which led her to create The Functional Family.

Sharon is passionate about helping parents have functional and fun lives when they have children with behavioural challenges. Sharon specialises in practical strategies and helping exhausted parents.

When her first son was diagnosed with ADHD she felt incredibly alone. There was information about how to help the child, but there was nothing on how to support the parents. The journey of raising her beautiful boys with ADHD was isolating and exhausting. The stress affected her health.

She realised that she was only surviving each day and things had to change. She began researching ADHD and using her corporate background and love of procedures and organisation to develop systems and routines to make life easier for herself and the ADHD brain. She realised that she could change the environment around her children to work with their strengths.

Sharon's company, The Functional Family, has assisted over 15,000 families. She has created online support groups where parents can ask questions, connect and support each other. She offers one on one coaching, a regular blog and an incredible 6 week online program, ADHD and Families.

She wants to help parents get back their time and energy, but most importantly create space for the good stuff!
