When women become mothers our identity shifts, we tend to pigeon hole ourselves as just “mums” and can easily lose our own sense of self and our identity. In this episode we speak to the beautiful Julia Mendola about her experience of motherhood, being a single mum, finding herself again and the importance of reflection and looking back for parents. It all goes in a flash.
Every parenting situation and journey is unique and I feel privileged we have this platform where we can explore parenting and share insights that may be helpful for you. I have known Julia for about 8 years and having this open conversation I was able to connect and learn even more about her. Julia reflects on having a child that wouldn’t sleep, being exhausted, asking for help and subsequently going into a mum and baby unit and feeling like a fraud. The start was hard and Julia reflects back on this time.
Julia runs an amazing children’s boutique in Essendon and online store Chocolate Freckles.
