Summary

Suzy Reading is a mum of 2, a Chartered Psychologist specialising in wellbeing, stress management and self-care. Suzy is a contributing editor for Psychologies Magazine and the Psychology Expert for wellbeing brand Neom Organics. She is also incredibly wise and gentle. I loved our chat and it got me thinking about my own self-care practices and how important it is as a mum that I keep myself topped up, not just doing this stuff when I’m already on the floor. Keep an eye out for Suzy's first book - The Self Care Revolution which will be released in December 2017. What we cover in this episode: - Suzy's definition of self care - How to make self-care work for each of us as individuals - Suzy's journey into specialising in self care - Mum guilt and what we can do about it - When self care becomes stressful - Practical self care tips for busy mums - Her unique 'vitality wheel' approach Learn more about your ad choices.
