Hello and welcome to Made by Mum as the podcast. I'm Zoe and I'm Georgia and we're here talking

all things parenthood, you know, the real conversations, tips and tricks, products we love and brands

we can't live without. Let's get into it. So how many times have you got to the end of the day,

got to the end of the week and gone, wouldn't it be amazing if I had a life coach on speed dial

to help me out with all of the drama that's gone down in the day, potentially kind of helping me

out with questions that I'm asking myself about my life and my parenting and everything else.

So we thought we would get somebody who's an absolute expert in this arena to come on and talk to

us to answer your questions today. On Instagram, she is Mind Mummy Coaching, it's Laura Guckian.

Yay! Oh my goodness, the amount of times Zoe and I have both said, we need to find a life coach

and now we've got one and so hopefully this chat is going to be so useful to some like all of you

Laura, I am a mum of three most importantly and I am also a qualified life coach for moms and the

founder of Mind Mummy Coaching. So basically what Mind Mummy Coaching is, it's a life coaching

service just for moms where I am trying to normalise all of those challenges that we experience every day

which I'm sure we'll talk about today and help moms navigate it so that ultimately they can be

the happiest and healthiest version of themselves and I suppose it was born out of my experiences

as a mum so I became a mum almost six years ago without getting into the details it was a really

really challenging experience, my little boy had severe silent reflux and basically my reality

of motherhood just didn't match up to what we believe motherhood will be, you know that

perception we're giving growing up it's all going to be love and butterflies and it left me feeling

quite unwell like feeling guilty feeling shame and I remember in that moment probably six years
