Value Bombs:
Emily: Being kind to yourself starts with self care and realising you're worthy of it in the first place. We need to stop putting pressure on ourselves! Putting myself first was alien to me however, I found that if I didn’t practice self-care, I can’t give to others without feeling resentful or burning out.
Emily: We’re all learning on the job! And to think we can just pick a book or methodology and feel like that’s enough is setting us up for failure.
Emily: Acceptance is the first step.
Debi: There is such a power in pausing - it’s so counter cultural though when everyone is burning the candle at both ends.
Emily: We’re not always modelling this shiny model of how we want life to be like, but that’s ok, that’s real life. But it acts as an opportunity for our children to see that it’s ok to make mistakes and say sorry.
Debi: It’s important for the child to feel safe and helps them to grow and thrive.
