How Self Care is the Key to a Healthy Family Podcast with Ree Johnson

Have you noticed how mums are great at putting their needs at the bottom of the pile?

The problem is it leads to exhausted mums running around on empty batteries.

 

Mothers Get Used to Putting Everyone Else First, which means Their Health and Wellness Suffers

Life changes dramatically when you have children. To begin with they’re dependent on you 24 hours a day. It’s natural that you have to make a few sacrifices and put your baby’s needs before your own.

Today, Ree Johnson chats to Dr, Orlena about her story of reaching rock bottom, how she turned her life around and how she now helps other mothers avoid the same mistakes.

She answers these questions:
