Mum-Guilt. Heard of the term? I think about this. How am I showing up the best for my babes? How do I balance running IMBIBE and also being there for my kids? It's a tricky balance (if we can even call it that) and often riddled with guilt. How do I now homeschool them and run our business. Put your hand up if you’re with me on this last one!!🙋🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Like so many of you know - raising a family while working full-time is challenging, intense, complicated and draining - but above all it's rewarding.
My mission has always been to make products that give you the strength and vitality to keep up with the pace and demands of it all.
Last week was breastfeeding week and as usual I’m late to the party.
I’ve had so many challenges with my other daughters with recurrent mastitis which has had me in hospital several times and on IV antibiotics- ouch! (actually part of the reason I created IMBIBE was because of all the antibiotics I was on because of these infections). But with this babe - apart from a couple hiccups - it’s been a breeze. I put that down to getting my gut health sorted and taking Beauty Renewal, daily.
She’s waking up sometimes 6 times a night so I’m definitely feeling worn down from the lack of sleep but I’m so incredibly grateful to my body for keeping on going; keeping on producing milk for her; keeping up with the challenges..
Because there’s one thing I know for sure. I’m surrounded by other strong women and that includes you. Thank you so much for being in our community.
