On today’s episode, I interview Mandywho is Mum to Libby who is four and Tigs who is 2.
Mandy shares her slow recovery after the birth of her first born, and the challenges of compromising herself and her baby in order to please other people.
We talk a lot about anxiety and mental load and the importance of communicating your needs, along with prioritising your health and well-being especially during the first year of motherhood.
Mandy shares how she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis as a result of being really depleted and sleep deprived.
She also talks about her decision to become a doula and how much she loves supporting mums during this critical time in life.
