All the women in my life are secret superheroes. We’re juggling the balls, keeping them in the air and trying our very best. And it means we have to fight for those windows of time – every woman I know has a long list of responsibilities and we tend to put ourselves on the backburner. We’re also our own worst critics and we can sabotage our happiness with that “stinking thinking”. We should all cut ourselves some slack and remind ourselves of what we achieve on a daily basis.
My eldest, Phoebe, is off to university in September and I’m in complete denial about it. I know the empty nest syndrome is going to be crazy. The centre of my universe has been my kids, so the thought of them ever leaving me feels… wild. I know it’s the future, butthey’re looking you in the eye as young adults with opinions! But it’s the natural progression of life. I didn’t want to miss out on any aspect of that parenting journey because I’m aware of just how quickly it goes.
