We celebrated Mother’s Day on Sunday 10th of May in New Zealand. I thought – hey, why are we celebrating mothers in one measly day? Why not celebrate it for a whole month?
After all, being a mother is the hardest job we have and it’s time to prioritize our self-care and mental health. It has been extremely draining, depleting and exhausting for many mothers in the past months.
Given the COVID-19 global pandemic and subsequent restrictions we have been asked to be everything and do everything for everyone. Empowermum’s Mother’s Month is all about putting the focus back on you – because you matter. As part of Empowermum’s Mother’s Month, I am interviewing inspiring and interviewing women all about motherhood – the good, the bad and the ugly.
In this episode, I talk to Jacqlin Richards from “Your Parent Journey”. Jacqlin is a parent mentor and owner of “Your Parent Journey” where she helps parents become real parents – not a perfect one but a real one. Jacqlin is a solo parent to two boys. We talked about both of our parenting journey, and how emotionally unprepared we were.
We shared some helpful tips and strategies for parents-to-be to prepare for the catalysmic and life changing event of having children. Jacqlin is real and raw, and totally relatable in her own trials and tribulations of motherhood. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed talking to her!
I would love to hear your thoughts on what we discussed – please comment below. If you want to learn more how to thrive in motherhood please follow me on Facebook at EmpowerMumsNZ. You can find Jacqlin on Facebook @YourParentJourney and at ,www.yourparentjourney.com
Hi Mama,
My kids just turned 5, and it’s hard to believe how quickly time flies! This age holds special significance for us as parents because it marks the beginning of a new chapter for our little ones—their educational journey is about to kick off as they start school.
Hi Mama,
Today, we’re diving deep into the topic of mom burnout. As a clinical psychologist and mom of twins, I know just how overwhelming and exhausting motherhood can be. So, let’s sit down, grab a cup of coffee (or tea), and have a heart-to-heart conversation about this important issue.
