This week’s guest is the amazing Dr Julie Smith - Mum of 3, clinical psychologist and online educator. You probably know her from her massively successful book and number one Sunday Times bestseller - Why has nobody told me this before. The educational videos she creates and shares on social media are incredible, amassing her a whopping 3.4 million followers on TikTok. I really struggled with what to call this episode - because we talk about so much: The tension between motherhood, ambition and purpose Answer to that tension - hint, values Her realisation around her own self-care What she’s trying to model for her 3 children Our inner critic and how to move past perfectionism and mistakes This episode is so powerful - I know you are going to want to share it - so please do. As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there. SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR - ATHLETIC GREENS My sponsor this week is Athletic Greens. I love AG1.

It’s a supplement with 75 ingredients and its special blend is designed to support gut health, nervous and immune system, energy, recovery, focus and even aging. It’s one of my non-negotiables. It tastes quite nice and while I’m drinking it I’m reminding myself I’m worth looking after and that I can only be the mother and person I want to be in the world when I look after myself.
