Rhythm, Routine and Reverence

In this episode, I interview Beth Berry: coach, teacher, mother of four and author of the aptly titled book Motherwhelmed. Beth helps mothers get more of what they want and need to feel fulfilled and empowered despite the odds.


Beth and I discuss what emotional labour is, how it’s different from physical labour and how it most often falls onto the shoulders of mothers in the home. She shares how we can begin to find more space for our own self-care, sense of identity and creative spirit and why carving out this time for ourselves is so very important.
