Mini series- Rachel Brown - You're allowed to be more than a mum

Author: Online Women's Health & Fitness coach |Hayley Kirby January 15, 2026 Duration: 50:01

Rachel and I discuss life with children and the impact it's had on our individual identity. It's really easy to lose yourself. Don't worry, this isn't an I hate my kids episode where we blame everything on them!

It seems to be that society expects a lot from us too. You know the whole 'work like you don't have children and parent like you don't work'. Can we get a balance? Rachel and I think you can

Loving your kids doesn’t mean disappearing yourself.

You’re allowed to want more than survival mode.
