    Introduction to Motherhood with Special Guest Szendi

    Tn this episode, we’re bringing you a powerful and deeply honest conversation with our very special guest, Szendi.  Her welcome to motherhood was far from what she imagined — raw, unexpected, and something she will never forget. She opens up about the reality that not everything goes to plan… and the strength it takes to navigate those moments. If you’ve ever felt the weight of the unexpected in your own motherhood journey, this one will truly speak to your heart.

    Wrapping up our final Careers and Cartwheels episode for 2025! What a year it has been, and for our last chat of the year, we’re joined by the amazing Nina Visic from Mindful Parenting Lifestyle. Nina works passionately to help parents and children build emotional strength, empathy, confidence and a positive outlook. Her mission? To empower families through mindfulness, awareness, self- compassion, and skilful communication. This conversation was both insightful and inspiring. If you’re curious to learn more about Mindful Parenting, this is the episode for you. We also chat about the mum-juggle, being gentle with ourselves, and why Weetbix Wednesday is 100% okay- because sometimes cereal is the perfect dinner when life gets busy.   Show notes: Mindful Parenting Lifestyle contacts: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindful_parenting_lifestyle/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindfulparentinglifestyle Podcast: https://www.mindfulparentinglifestyle.com.au/podcast Website: https://www.mindfulparentinglifestyle.com.au The Calm Summer Blueprint Masterclass: https://www.mindfulparentinglifestyle.com.au/school-holidays-masterclass   Dr Kyla Ringrose - Paediatric Dietitian: https://www.instagram.com/dr_kyla/
