Empowering Motherhood: Balancing Business, Baby, and Self-Care
Watch.
The juggle of life is tough for many of us - work, family, home, friends, yourself!
Is it really possible to find balance with everything that you have going on in your life?
“We all go through different seasons of our lives and as women we have very unique seasons. It’s very easy to feel as though you’ve lost something when those new things and seasons happen.”
— Nicola Mercer
“It’s not just about appearance, it’s more about strength and stamina and all of those things that I never thought about or even valued before I was pregnant. So that’s a very new thing that I can appreciate, which is really exciting and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next!”
— Issy Howell
For Issy Howell who recently became a first time Mum, navigating this huge change and adjustment to her life was like most first-time parents, a challenging one! Add to this that she’s a business owner and very aware of how valuable her personal health and wellbeing are, she’s been finding it all just a little overwhelming!
We know that many people feel they don’t have enough time in their busy lives to add healthy habits into the mix - it’s the biggest reason we hear from our community and clients about what’s in their way to living healthier! So this is a great conversation with someone who found herself in this position and has been treading some choppy water with the challenges of adjusting to motherhood. But, Issy has such great awareness of how feeling strong with the right habits results in you being able to live the lifestyle you want, all whilst maintaining a successful business! This is such a great conversation emphasising the importance of health and work-life balance.
In our conversation we discuss:
The importance of sleep in Issy’s wellbeing toolkit.
How establishing routines has supported Issy’s transition to motherhood.
The benefits of walking outside.
The physical and mental adjustments that can be challenging post-pregnancy.
Seeing your worth as more than your appearance and the value of knowing your inner strength.
Shifting as a business owner to balance parental responsibilities and life changes.
Why it’s important to be kind to yourself.
Blending work and family life to model healthy habits and behaviours to your children.
