EP 95 | Juggling Parenthood? What to do when everyone needs you!

About this episode

Belinda discusses the challenges of parenthood and how to maintain one's identity while caring for others.

If you’re a parent, I know you’ll relate to today’s episode. We’re diving into the quiet, sometimes heavy, weight of being the one everyone relies on... the organiser, the emotional anchor, the one who remembers everything, plans everything and anticipates everyone’s needs. As a mum of four, I can tell you it’s all too easy to lose yourself in the needs of everyone else. It’s not that you don’t value yourself, it’s just that while looking after others somewhere along the way your needs began to disappear in the process.  In this episode, I’m going to talk about how we can be amazing parents without losing ourselves in the process and I’ll also share practical steps on how to implement this in your own life.
