Ep. 115 - The Invisible load

Author: Online Women's Health & Fitness coach |Hayley Kirby November 18, 2024 Duration: 17:09

We're back!....Well it's just solo Hayley this week but we would be rubbish trainers if we didn't practice what we preached! Massive congratulations to Hannah and welcome to the world gorgeous Jessie.


Hannah will be back but quite rightly she's prioritising her family and clients. Don't you worry as soon as there is an opportunity

for us to be back together we will be.


It's fitting that this week we will be talking the invisible load. These are all the tiny bits of life admin that we as parents, business owners, care givers often have to hold in their head for other people.


It can really weigh us down and impact any new changes we may be trying to make.


As always leave your comments. All feedback and discussion is welcome.


Hayley & Hannah
