Show Notes

I believe that as women there is so much we can learn from women who have gone before us. And my guest on this episode delivers learnings in spades.

In this episode of MAMA, UNLEASHED!  I speak with the amazing and admirable mum of three Wendy Euler. Wendy is the creator of the highly successful women’s empowerment movement Goodbye Crop Top and the podcast Cropped – a midlife minute.

This conversation goes there! It is a conversation we need to have as women and as mothers.

It is deep, nourishing, informative and focussed on empowering women towards great mental health and happiness. See why we dislike popular “self-care” and how focussing on our courage, confidence, consciousness, curiosity, conversations, and true relationships are far more important.
