From constantly being on our phones, checking social media, to eating unhealthy food...

Adapting . It's what we do as human beings and have been doing for thousands of years - it's built into our human makeup and we've become quite accustomed to it - changes in environment, our bodies, our lifestyles... how do we deal with it all and maintain sanity and good mental health ?

::to the tune of Whitney Houston:: "I get so emotional BABAAY" - Yes, Whitney... Yes we do! We're women,.. we're Mothers... we can't help it!

In this latest episode we talk about our personal childhoods and how we feel they have affected our parenting styles.

Motherhood is a balancing act that takes years to figure out and make work; it can get overwhelming with the many hats we wear as mothers, partners, and as women in general. What do you do when it all becomes too much? Do you have an escape that you run or turn to? Do you have affirmations you tell yourself to get through some days? Can you even FIND the time to break away for 10 minutes and decom...
