Why is it that that compassionate voice is so important to particularly linking to burnout and motherhood to develop? Because I think lots of people think, no, it's that critical voice

that gets me out of bed, gets the school lunches made, gets me to school on time, gets me to work.

I think a lot of people fear a kind of voice means they're going to lie on the sofa and eat

twigs all day.
