I am More than My ADHD
Last weekend I had a timely reminder that there’s so much more to me than my ADHD and that thriving is possible. This is not about super powers but rather connecting to the deeper part of us that has more in common with other humans than not. Read on to learn more about the Hoffman Process. […]
What should Mums eat to Boost their Immune System?
One of the frustrating things about being a new mum is that you often pick up a cold or two and it can really knock you out, which is not ideal when you’re on 24/7 duty. So what can mums do to support their immune system? Well, we know that sleep is number 1 when it comes […]
How are You Fuelling your Body?
Growing a baby is a big deal and it uses up an extraordinary amount of energy and nutrients.
