Welcome to the More Than Mothering Podcast. I am your host Crystal Hardstaff from The Gentle Counsellor where I specialise in maternal mental health and gentle parenting. Let me ask you a question. Are you tired? If you are a mum listening to this, then your answer is probably YES. Ok, here’s another one. How is your energy level right now? A bit lacking, feel like the toddler is sucking it right out of you? Yep. Been there. Let’s talk about energy states for women, because I have some insights I would like to share with you that I often share with counselling clients in session, and they find this information really helpful.
