ABOUT MY CHANNEL
My channel and work are about mums feeling more calm and fulfilled and preventing burnout.

I talk about mental and physical wellbeing with topics such as perfectionism, stress management, mindfulness and lifestyle changes.

The power of starting small
มุมมอง 153 ปีที่แล้ว
You want to change something? start small. I often see people being afraid of change because they see it as this huge mountain that they need to overcome. They don't know where to start from and they feel frozen, so they don't change. Mums can find it particularly hard, because their stress levels are high a lot of the time and their resilience is low. Change just feels impossible. But you can ...

It doesn't have to look like a great piece of literature either - nobody will read it ap...

Here's the dilemma: Do I go to bed early or do I use that precious time when the house is quiet to finally do some things for myself? Do you often choose the second option? Who would blame you? In this video, I explain three things that might hel...
