Practical Ways to Find Ourselves as Mums

Motherhood can be challenging for women to find a moment to catch their breath due to the numerous crucial and supportive roles they fulfil in society as mothers, wives, daughters, and employees. Join our host, June Yong, as she speaks to Joan Swee, Founder of Whispering Hope, a local consultancy specialising in the internationally-recognised Grief Recovery Method®. Joan reveals her journey of coping with the challenges of motherhood and grief. Encouraging mums to recuperate and take time for themselves, she advises ways to carve out a breathing space amidst the usual stresses of daily life.“Grief and loss actually have no timeline, but you can choose to find your courage and resilience to build that life that honours your losses and celebrates your hopes and dreams."---A mother’s inner voice can become critical and self-defeating, when there seems to be no end to the demands and challenges in motherhood. Therefore, it is crucial to nurture a mother’s sense of self in their journey. With healthier, joyful and secure mothers who enjoy their children, children will grow up in homes with an atmosphere of lasting love, compassion and laughter.
