Becoming a mum isn’t your cue to give up on yourself as an individual. It’s your opportunity to use your uniqueness to raise your child the best way you can.

After all, we’re all unique, which includes our babies, and the only one who actually knows how to raise your baby is you.

You don’t have to lose your individuality.

Giving birth is one of the most frightening things I’ve ever done. You know the baby has got to come out and you’re just hoping that all will be okay.

Now, how would you cope if the birth didn't go according to plan? Could you stay calm and make the decisions that are right for you or would you just go with the flow because that is easier?

On this episode, I am joined by the wonderful Elle Hack whose experience of mothering was slow to start and she very much used her voice to decide what was best for her and her baby.

A bit about Elle

As an expert speaker, trainer and coach, Elle helps Canine Professionals ( typically Vet Physios) get more joy, fulfilment and profit from their business. Removing stress and allowing them the freedom to do what they do best, caring for dogs.

My business is called Canine Care Hub.

What surprised her about being a mum was the amount one human can take over your mind, heart and soul.

She now regularly leaves the house for walks without having brushed my hair.

The best thing about being a mum is the joy and laughter her son brings to her, he is genuinely hilarious and she feels so lucky that he’s hers.

When I first became a mum, I remember feeling safe and secure in the knowledge that there were many people around me whom I could turn to for help.

The best thing was that my mum and sister, who already had two children, were just down the road.

What if that isn’t the case?

What if you have no one around you? You’re alone and your only connection is via a landline phone.

How would you cope?

On this episode, I am joined by the wonderful Lucy Barrett whose experience of mothering started the moment her baby was placed in her hands in Hong Kong.

A bit about Lucy

Lucy has many roles as a Style Coach, wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. She has lived, worked and raised a family in Hong Kong, Japan and the UK.

She helps professional women and female business owners use the transformational power of the way they dress to feel confident in themselves and express who they are in every aspect of their life. Now and as they evolve through the transitions of life.

Styling from the inside out, Lucy collaborates with women to explore and discover their own unique style, their most flattering colours and styles and align their clothes with their life.

She understands that life is busy and our roles are varied. She helps women who want to open their wardrobe every morning and see clothes that reflect who they are now, give them inner confidence and provide what they need.

One role that has been really important in her life is being a mum to three. Something that surprised her about being a mum was how much confidence it has given her in herself, especially living miles away from family and not always being able to speak the language. At times being a mum can be challenging and yet one of the best things, apart from the love of course, is watching these helpless, but surprisingly loud, little humans go through all the phases and grow into full grown, adventurous adults.
