Dealing with sleep issues, insomnia, struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and for many women during their monthly cycle, CBD can reduce symptoms, incl. pain, and there with contribute greatly to an improved life quality.
The benefits of a natural product, over chemical substances often taken to reduce the burden of diverse issues, such as insomnia, depression, and anxiety. CBD has clear benefit in improving life quality in a more organic, rather than medical prospect.
The lifestyle component of CBD shouldn’t be underestimated, as it mentally promotes well-being over medicalisation and somatisation.

In today’s podcast live from sunny lake side promenade in Zurich, with my guest Marie from Southern California, we discuss how to survive grey winter days.
Winter and darkness, fog, rain, and lack of sunlight impacts many people’s well-being during the northern hemisphere.
 
What can we do to boost our energy and cheer up:
-Exercise, especially during the bright daylight hours. No matter rain or sun.
-Winter swimming, a pure endorphin booster.
-Meet and be active with friends.
-Head to the mountains for snow and bright sunlight.
-Go for a walk when it’s sunny in your area or grab lunch, a coffee in the pre spring sun (We promise, it’s a game changer!)
-Plan a trip to warmer sunnier climate.
-Light therapy, use a SAD lamp at home.
-Reach out to an expert before symptoms get too severe.
-Psychotherapy can support you through the darkest months of the year.

Menopause has a primarily negative connotation. Long lists of symptoms both physical and psychiatrist ones. Yet, one can also look at the upsides of this transitional phase in life. The mature self, developed over years and many different stages of development. A journey of personal growth. The woman in menopause can have an incredible sex life, as a result of all the accumulated experience over the life trajectory. Menopausal women know what they want and often have the confidence to ask for it or even demand it. There is further no more concern about unwanted pregnancies, since fertility is out of discussion. This can result in pure pleasure, laissez faire, and simply being true to oneself and the needs.

Sitting at my favorite beauty studio getting my nails done, while baby Raphaël is being taken care of by the wonderful ladies here.
What a magic time for me and him too! It needs a village to raise a child. This is what I fondly believe! The more a child is exposed to different people the better for his future development.
We both decided that he needs to learn from an early age on, that there’s other people around him, that love him just as much as his parents do. It makes my mommy life so so much more enjoyable, having multiple helping, baring hands.
 
I always felt that quality time with anyone goes before quantity time. Especially, with a child, the quality of the engagement with the child is what matters and children mirror that back immediately. It is way more important to dedicate one’s full attention to a child under a shorter period of time, rather than spending all day and night with a child without being attentive nor present and genuinely interested. Less but focused attention can absolutely be more for everyone’s well-being!

To me, personal style in attitude and fashion during pregnancy, in the hospital, and postpartum are essential for maintaining a sense of identity as a woman.
This is why I put a lot of effort and time in rethinking my wardrobe. It’s been possible that way to wear the same as pre pregnancy, with a twist emphasising the confidence to be an entrepreneur, business woman, company owner, and simultaneously proud new mom.
 
Personal styling tips
Dress for success
Style that conveys self-confidence
Repurpose you fashion accessories to become mommy essentials (i.e. Chanel travel purse became essential diaper bag)
Keep it simple, yet classy!
Use accessories to pimp up your style
Fit all in a Birkin bag, instead of a multicolored, functional backpack
Kelly to go and Chanel phone bag perfect company when out with your baby carry
 
Brands I’m obsessed with:
Atelier Choux
Bonpoint
Tartine et chocolate
Oscar & Valentine
Il Gufo
Livly
En Soie Zurich
Chantecaille Bébé
Coolest family store Paris Smallable
Antipope baby carry
Cybex stroller
Stokke crib
Moon baby chair

8 weeks ago our son was born. 1 week after the c section, I’ve illegally started running again. Listening to my body, starting slow and for me only short distances. What a feeling, the first postpartum run felt like freedom! So incredible, all the senses involved in that very basic run.
Yoga work outs were possible 10 days after c section delivery. Starting at home, then PT, followed by group training. Gaining confidence with every day and every movement, reconnecting with my body and mind.
Yoga work outs to bring back balance, strength, and grace. The longer you stay active during pregnancy, the shorter, and smoother the recovery. Headstand and forearm stand stood highest on the priority list.
Beside the me-time for sports, taking care of your inner and outer beauty is essential for new mommy health.
 
Sports tips
Never stop moving
Start with low impact activities
Routines rock, 5min exercise a day
Listen to your body, its signs
Trust your instincts!
