Jan 5, 202500:01:32Tap to summarizeWelcome to Thriving Mummas — a podcast for moms ready to embrace the beautiful chaos of parenting while staying true to themselves. Let’s be honest: pretending everything’s fine when it’s not doesn’t help anyone. Talking openly about our challenges not only helps us heal but also reminds us that we’re never alone in this journey. Being a mom of a young child doesn’t have to feel impossibly hard. There’s an easier way when you truly know yourself and your children. Together, we’ll explore how our bodies, minds, and environment reflect what’s going on inside — and how to shape them to reflect what you truly want. Each week, we’ll share laughs, real talk, and practical (and maybe even woo-woo) parenting hacks – with inspiration from feng shui, numerology, and energy healing – to help navigate life’s curveballs. This is your space to reconnect with yourself, find balance, and thrive as a mom without losing who you are. Motherhood is a journey, not a sacrifice. Let’s thrive together.
