Fire Starter Mum

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a street campaign I carried out in Bristol, where I stopped mothers in public space and asked one simple, unexpected question: “What would you say to another mum who feels she’s lost herself?” This episode isn’t about solutions. It’s about the moment itself. I share: Why I felt called to take this question into public space The deeply personal exper...

We explore: The 3 core nervous system states and how each one shapes the way you...
