Boss Mum Patrycja McMahon

Is asking for help a sign of weakness? As mums, we don’t like to ask for help, and I know definitely I didn’t like to ask. We worried that others might judge us that we are not managing and failing as mothers. I have been there when I was putting so much pressure on myself that asking for help was the last resource before I would explode. How has my perception changed? Listen to this episode.  
Here are the highlights:
{01:03} I never used to like to ask for help.
{03:16} Being a brand-new mum is like starting a new job without guidance and mentoring. 
{05:35} We don’t want anyone to tell us how to bring our children.  
{07:16} Why did I push myself to these limits?

Kirsty who is a Business Online Coach, Mindset and NLP Master well as speaker and podcaster told me a story of a young girl who just found out that she was expecting and she had to decide what to do with her life.
The significant shift in her life happened when she decided to create her own business that could give her the flexibility of being a mum and entrepreneur.
Fast for a few years, she loves helping women in business in a holistic way, and being a mum gave her the reason to do it.
Here are the highlights:
{01:50} I have quite an interesting story about going into motherhood.
{04:10} It wasn’t easy and then was always a reason why not.
{07:26} You can treat anything as an excuse not to or an excuse to do it. 
{10:28} It's important what we are modeling to our children.
{13:09} I think one thing that I got but not everyone has but we all should make sure that we have a supportive partner.
{17:55} You are just stuck in the cycle.

How many of you mums feel responsible for contributing to your household? Is maternity pay good enough that you can stay longer at home? What happens when maternity is finished, and you feel like your lifestyle might suffer because you only have one income?
In many cases, mothers have to return to work because with the new way of living, inflation, and the percentage of rates going higher we feel that we have to return to work even if we don’t really want to. It happened to me too when we invested all our savings and because I was a salon owner, I had a lot of overheads to pay I had to return when my daughter was only 10 days old. 
However fast forward a few years now I chose to work from home around my children. 
Here are the highlights:
{01:19} One income it’s not enough for the lifestyle we want.
{03:25} My husband’s paternity was better paid than my self-employed statuary maternity pay.
{06:18} It's still such an old fashion way of being a mum. 
{08:40} You should decide for yourself and you should have a right to make that decision.

Tracy who was a nurse for 23 years, decided to leave nursing when her son was two and a half. She understood then that she had the flexibility to work the way she wanted around her baby and family needs. She knows that if she stayed in nursing she would have more mum guilt, but now she can be available for her child when he needs her. 
Tracy is the creator of a Personally Organised company, as well she helps her husband with his recording studio and they are the owners of proprieties. She is genuinely passionate about her business and about helping her clients. Tracy also wants to get a qualification in NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) to ensure that she can help her clients not only organise houses but also help them deeper into the psychological level to allow them to live their fulfilling life free from clutter.
Here are the highlights:
{02:00} Entrepreneur was never my intention.
{04:20} Soon I will be doing NLP qualifications to help my clients even more.
{08:13} A lot of my brand values of my business is to recycle and repurpose.
{11:10} I remember when I was little, my grandma told me that she will never come to my house because it will be very messy.
{13:08} It takes a bit organisation and our house is really well organised.
{17:00} There is no security of you having a job because you can be redounded at any time.

We are teaching our children to eat well, but we are forgetting about our bodies and health. There were times when I didn’t have time to eat, and I transform my stomach into a bin. I don’t like to waste food and of course, I teach my children to not waste either. Instead to sit and eat I was hovering over leftovers. I was tired, I was low, I was gaining unwanted weight and I felt depressed. I forgot how important is to eat properly. The big changes in my life happened when my friend introduced me to a detox plan. 
Here are the highlights:
{01:21} I remember the times when I was eating leftovers.
{03:51} I was introduced to the detox plan and that changed my life.
{05:40} Do you actually eat enough?
{07:26} I didn’t have to think!
{09:30} Why does the detox work?
