Description
Fifteen years ago, Belinda Kirkpatrick was pregnant and had an 18-month-old when her fiance was killed in a car accident. This left her to finish university, raise two small babies, start her business and complete her Masters all on her own and in a state of grief. Where is Belinda now? She is an expert Naturopath and Nutritionist with over 13 years of clinical experience and the author of ‘Healthy Hormones’. She specialises in women’s health and is especially passionate about hormonal health, fertility management and miscarriage prevention. She is known for her extensive knowledge of natural and conventional treatment in addition to her evidence-based approach to integrative healthcare, and is a regular on The Daily Edition and has written for and been interviewed by many publications including the Sydney Morning Herald, Cosmopolitan, and Mamamia. In this episode, Belinda chats with me about: Her experience with grief after her fiance was killed, whilst looking after a toddler and being pregnant. Choosing life. Supporting her kids through grief and keeping their father's memory alive. Dating and mum guilt. Finishing university and starting a business whilst being a single mum. Raising teenage girls. Not comparing your life to others. Plus SO much more. We also chat about Belinda's book - Healthy Hormones - and her Seed iPhone app. I loved chatting with Belinda. She is funny, she is happy, she is a breath of fresh air, and she is an inspiration. Links mentioned in the episode: Read about International Widows Day here.
