Hello!
How are you with caring for yourself as a mother?
I’ve been a mother for 13 years, and I’ve been working specifically with mothers for a decade, and if it’s one thing that I’ve seen the most, it’s that we are often still affected by old cultural beliefs about valuing ourselves and our needs as mothers.
We need to get creative about nourishing ourselves as mothers.

I LOVE your requests or suggestions for video topics – so please write to me and let me know what you’d like a video about!
Lots of love,
Marion
