How seeking help proactively, not just when overwhelmed, can help you better manage your mental load.What strategies you can use to identify when and how to ask for support before you are struggling.How shifting your perspective on help can lead to profound personal and professional growth.This conversation is really important because I have personally experienced so much growth in it, and I see my clients experience so much growth in it, too.

In this episode, I talk about the often overlooked abundance in our lives. I discuss the mindset of longing and the comparison of wanting more. It’s all about the idea that you already have what you want.
As mums, we can regularly be pulled into the whirlwind of comparison, wanting what we don't have, wishing for a different time, things to pass, the past to come again, talking about time and opportunities and life in the way of hoping and wishing for something different.
This pulls us away from enjoying and really soaking in the present moment.In this episode, you'll discover:
How you can recognise and appreciate what you already have, shifting your focus from longing to gratitude and appreciating the now.How to stop comparing your life to othersStrategies you can use to create and develop a grateful mindset that appreciates the present and what you already have.How to recognise the success and achievements you may not have appreciated yet.
I encourage you to listen and then reflect on how much you already have. Each time you feel lacking or in comparison mode, I want you to remember how you already have what you want in your life, and use that perspective shift to choose nourishment and joyful gratitude.
