Join me in the hot seat for a heartfelt episode, where I'm interviewed by none other than my mom. We'll delve deep into my motherhood journey, from the highs to the lows, and everything in between.

Reflecting on my journey as a mother, I've gained invaluable insights. If I could go back and advise my younger self, I'd emphasize the importance of prioritizing simplicity. Babies don't need much – they need you, your love, and your care. Amidst all the noise of parenthood, it's crucial to remember that everything else is secondary.

As my mom and I reflect, we share the realization that the key to parenthood lies in being present and cherishing the moment with your little one. Tune in for an honest conversation that's close to my heart.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.

Today episode is slightly different, I interviewed Harriet Mandak, a holistic life coach, and rapid transformational therapist, in collaboration with Circle Cafe for Women's Month. As part of this collaboration, Circle Cafe has invited women to submit anonymous stories of points in their lives where it was hard for them to speak up.

This episode is a unique exploration of what women often leave unsaid. Harriet specializes in empowering high-functioning individuals grappling with overwhelm, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and anxiety.

We deviate from the usual narrative to dive into the unspoken struggles and silent battles that women face. Harriet's mission is profound: to create a nurturing space and provide effective tools for deep healing. Join us on a transformative journey, liberating your mind from subconscious blocks and embracing your happiest, healthiest, and highest self.

Tune in for an episode that breaks barriers, nurtures holistic well-being, and amplifies the unheard voices of women.
