Dear Mum, it's Alice Liveing: I Wore Busyness Like a Badge of Honour

"Have you tried putting your baby down drowsy but awake?"A statement SO many of us mums have been told… but why!? It’s a question the wonderful Alice Liveing has us all asking in this episode, which will make you laugh (and maybe swear a little) on Dear Mum.Alice is a personal trainer, an old gym friend of mine from way before either of us had kids, and mum to eight-month-old Jeanie - she’s also a much loved content creator and blogger.We talk about the reality-check of early motherhood - the four months of relentless crying, not leaving the house for weeks, and the strange identity shift of going from a packed, busy career to feeling, in her words, "like the most uninteresting person ever."We also get honest about the mental load of feeling like you're never quite doing anything well enough - as a mum, a friend, a wife, a business owner - and why she's back in therapy to work through it.If you want to follow Alice, the links are below - and please do hit FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE wherever you’re listening, as it helps us keep growing this show and bringing you more Dear Mum Moments 💛LinksAlice LiveingIG - https://www.instagram.com/aliceliveing/YT - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAjZSBvf4ymFRw9Z9Ff9duQGive Me Strength App - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/give-me-strength/id1560651240Charlie:IG - https://www.instagram.com/charlielaunderTT - https://www.tiktok.com/@charlielaunderYT - https://www.youtube.com/@charliebarkerr💪 Bumps & Burpees:https://www.instagram.com/bumpsandburpeeswww.bumpsandburpees.comProduced by Bear Lane Productions 🎙️Music licensed via PremiumBeat - 4WJJ2ROAVKXSJCGW
