When you're not being called 'Mum', what name/nickname do you prefer to be called?
My family call me Cint and my husband calls me 'little dude', either are fine with me 😉
What is the best thing about being a mum?
The amazing love and gratitude I feel for my kids
What is the most challenging thing about being a mum?
For me it's maintaining balance between the demands of home life, career, spiritual needs, health and fitness etc...It's much easier now the kids are in school but it can be hard to feel you're giving everything equal attention.
What are you passionate about?
So many things! My family, balance/self-care, my career (music therapy), nature and our environment, design & aesthetics, food, exploring and travelling, reading, quiet time.
What is something that you have done that you are proud of?
I guess as well as all the above I'm proud of how I've continued to work on myself through therapy, reflection, challenge, self-care. It's not easy to prioritise yourself but we're our own best creation when we do. The more I work on myself the better I can help others.
What is your favourite thing to do or places to go to unwind?
I love sitting by myself having tea and cake and reading a book uninterrupted. Plus anywhere in nature usually makes me happy. Oh, and I do love a gin with my friends 🙂
