29. Does half term often feel unenjoyable and stressful?

All too often, the children's school break is anything but a break for us parents. It feels more like an addition of work and chores -or more of everything; conflict, connection, tears and joy. Intense togetherness with our family highlights one thing; our ability to have our own needs met when we're surrounded by little people and partner's with needs too. Experienced health coach, Sarah Stannard is my guest in this episode and she shares her top tips for getting us mentally and physically ready for week ahead. Sarah is a big believer in preparation and scheduling. And it makes perfect sense - because how often do we find ourselves with a spare hour to spend on ourselves - unless we put our own needs on the family's agenda too. Sarah Stannard's private practice is based in Chertsey, Surrey. She delivers regular corporate wellness events, and consult for both Surrey County Council on their “be your best” program for children in Surrey and Healthier Weight UK and The Weight Loss Clinic.
