In this episode, Amanda talks about the importance of maintaining your mental health as a mum.

We all know the term ‘Mental Health’ but knowing what it actually means and how we can do our best to protect it is so important. We all have moments in our lives that can feel a bit overwhelming and stressful. Today’s episode dives into simple things we can do which can be a game changer for our mental health and therefore, have positive implications for how we show up as a mum and in our daily lives.

Ideas discussed include:

• What is mental health?
• How exercise can help your mental health.
• What to do if you are worried about your mental health.
• How to supercharge your activities of daily living for maximum benefit.
• Why you should not underestimate the power of 5-10 minutes additional movement.
• Movement swaps.

If you are feeling continually low it would be worth speaking with a GP or contacting mind charity for some support.

This Episode is with Rebecca Woollam.

Rebecca has so many strings to her bow! She is a former NHS Health Visitor turned Nursery Owner and Parent Empowerment Coach. She also helps families book travel as an independent travel agent whilst empowering and mentoring others to the same!

Rebecca’s experience and passion lies in supporting and educating parents to be the best version of themselves. Empowering them to have the belief to live the life of their dreams and reminding them that they are the EXPERT on their family and to trust their instincts.

We discuss a whole range of things including:

• How personal experience of being a mum with ADHD and raising neurodivergent kids allows Rebecca to help others on a similar journey.

• That all parents struggle at some point and how sharing this is the first step to taking action to realise you are doing a great job.

• The idea that “if you believe you can or you believe you can’t” - either way you’re right.

• The importance of being a good role model for your children.

• Avoiding mum guilt- especially the guilt of being a working mum.

  
  

So many different and important ideas are covered in this conversation! I hope you enjoy this chat with Rebecca!

This interview episode is with Dr Cristina Cavezza.

Cristina is a clinical psychologist and coach with over 15 years’ experience helping women manage their emotions better so that they are less likely to turn to food for comfort.

She runs an online group coaching program for women in the (peri)menopausal years (aged 35+) who want help managing their eating habits. As a mother of twins and a business owner, she understands first-hand the struggle of juggling work, family and other life commitments with one’s own health.

Within this conversation we talk about:

• How the symptoms of perimenopause and being a parent can overlap

• How taking preventative measures to thrive in life can be more successful that trying to create quick fixes to situations

• The pressure of being a perfect mum

• Why we should be ‘fierce advocates’ of our own well being

• Cristina’s top tips for being a Happy Thriving Mum

  
  

Cristina gives so much amazing advice and insight- this is a great conversation- I took so much away from it. I hope you love listening to Cristina as much as I enjoyed talking to her.

In this episode, Amanda talks about how what we eat can affect our mood and mental clarity. Being a mum can be hard and if the day isn’t going quite as planned there can be the opportunity to be a bit snappy and find things a bit of a struggle. By making some simple adjustments to our diets or just by refocussing on key things to help us eat a bit better, we can help give our mood a boost and help us think more clearly again.

Ideas discussed include:

Not forgetting to eat your vegetables!

Ditching the junk food.

Why water is so important.
