Atiqah Abdul's a lesson a day Atiqah Abdul There was a question my mum used to ask when she’d pick us up from school— what did you learn today? She’d even ask that when we returned from something seemingly un-educational, like after going to the cinemas. They say there’s always something to learn even in the mundane. In this podcast/personal journal, Atiqah Abdul, a medical graduate and aspiring author shares her reflections on growing up as a migrant, on life, faith, cultures, the self and everything in between. Thriving and Surviving as a Solo Mum Thriving and Surviving as a Solo Mum It’s been a very long time coming. Hugest thanks to my best friends for their continued encouragement to start a podcast, previewed over many years of lengthy recorded voice messages! Chemmy's Chair Lift Chats Chemmy Alcott I used to throw myself down a mountain at 90mph now I am a mum of boys - baby Cooper and toddler Locki. My main goal in life is to make them smile. I feel like I am always on my limit - fatigue and stress wise - running a business with my husband, developing my public personality through TV and presenting and trying to find snippets of me time in the gym. But it is all worth is and I know I am ridiculously fortunate. The Journey of Motherhood Podcast The Journey of Motherhood Podcast I never know which part to start with….the personal or professional. But I guess when I think about what is most important to me….. above all else….it’s being a mother. I have 4 children between the ages of 8 and 15 years. I call them “the loves of my life” because truly that is how it is. But just as much as they can fill me with so much joy that I burst, they can also bring me to my knees.There is heaps I love about motherhood, some parts I’m indifferent to and a few bits that I don’t like. I wouldn’t trade it for the world and I wouldn’t be the woman I am today, without the experiences that motherhood has brought me.On top of all that I’m a Clinical (and Forensic) Psychologist. I’ll save the conversation about “what is a forensic psychologist” for another time. What I really want you to know is that one of the areas that I love love love working in the most, is with mums and their bubs, toddlers, pre-schoolers, primary and high school aged kids. The lot!There are so many reasons
