It was Breastfeeding Awareness week 1-7 August, so I figured it was time to share my own experiences with breastfeeding.

I was too anxious to stick up for myself when D was born. I never said no to anything, I just went along with it for the quiet life.. until I couldn't do it anymore...

Listen to this episode to find out my story about breastfeeding.

This is episode 88 (not 86 as I said on the recording!)

This month I'm talking to Kathy about the different ways of making connections. How it's not only about networking in a room with business pitches, why not strip it back to being in nature, around a campfire, telling stories, sharing lives and songs, but with people you might not have met yet??

Kathy Sanderson is the founder of Community Camping & Healing Gatherings and Healing From Within, based on 25 acres of woodland and meadow in South West Wales.She creates real life communities around campfires, helping people reconnect with themselves, each other and nature in a world that has become increasingly disconnected.As an Inner Child Healing practitioner and creator of botanical and mushroom remedies, Kathy believes healing happens through connection with ourselves, each other and the natural world.Living with Type 1 diabetes since childhood has shaped her understanding of resilience, and her work is rooted in one simple belief: sometimes the greatest healing doesn't happen in a therapy room. Sometimes it happens around a campfire, sharing stories with people who make you feel like you belong.WebsitesHealing From Withinwww.healingfromwithin.co.ukCommunity Camping & Healing Gatheringswww.communitygatherings.ukInstagramHealing From Withinhttps://www.instagram.com/healingfromwithinukCommunity Camping & Healing Gatheringshttps://www.instagram.com/communitygatheringsukFacebookHealing From Within UKwww.facebook.com/healingfromwithinukCommunity Camping & Healing Gatheringswww.facebook.com/communitygatheringsTikTokHealing From Withinhttps://www.tiktok.com/@healing_from_withinCommunity Camping & Healing Gatheringshttps://www.tiktok.com/@community.camping

It's been nearly 7 years since I started networking, and things have evolved since then.

Some networking groups come to a natural end, but I like to belong to some thing in that ilk, so I like to join a mixture of online and in person things, and it's nice to see the Anglesey opportunities are growing too <3

And it's not just about networking, it's also about trying new things and having fun/ making connections while doing it!
