Editor's Notes
- #3 For me there are five elements to balance to be The Confident Mother. It’s about celebrating and enjoying life as a woman and as a mother. CONTRIBUTION WELLNESS WORK FAMILY THE FEMININE These elements that support us in our quest to be The Confident Mother CONTRIBUTION – what you add, where you give value, how you contribute – you might call it your purpose or your calling, your mission WELLNESS – looking after yourself, self-love, mindfulness, meditation, dealing with overwhelm (which is why we are here to) WORK – whether that’s your own business, your career, or valuing your work in the house FAMILY – your partner, your children, your own parents THE FEMININE – about enjoying and accepting, embracing ourselves and our bodies as women, accepting our limitations, understanding our strengths These ebb and flow at different times of our life. Sometimes WORK might be your strongest element. At other times, in the first few vulnerable weeks after birth, maybe it’s FAMILY. In the late stages of pregnancy, embrace your body, the fullness. When family have left home, maybe this is when you can give more to society. WELLNESS – essential to always look after yourself.

- #7 Wellness is one of the five elements in The Confidence Circle that I explore with mums. It is really important to look after yourself, take ‘me’ time and not feel guilty about it. For me, there are three aspects to wellness which you can’t fully separate: physical, mental and emotional. Physical wellness is about good quality sleep (not always easy if you have young children), eating healthily, being active on a regular basis, rest and relaxation, and spending time outside. Mental wellness to me is about having strategies to deal with overwhelm and managing your stress levels. It’s being kind to yourself and showing self-compassion. Emotional wellness can be hard to manage when you go back to work – for me this is about ditching the guilt and giving yourself permission not to be perfect.
