Mums, I get it. Sticking to your intentions and healthy habits can feel really hard and REALLY frustrating when you have kids. The missed naps, cat napping, daycare and school sicknesses, tantrums and curve balls - IT’S A LOT.

But let’s talk today about your mindset around this, and five ways that you can move through it to feel more empowered, and like a healthier, happier version of yourself.
We will talk about recognising the things that you can control, comparison, expectations that you place on yourself, and how those things make you feel.
