Interview with BJJ Mums!

Me with Athena, my eldest daughter

I was honoured to be interviewed by the organisation BJJ Mums which is based in Europe.  My focus with this interview was to spread the word about making the time to train even if you are a new mother.  I know for so many new mothers that not having the time to train and to do the things they loved doing before the baby is a big issue.. so big that I think postpartum depression is actually linked to a loss of identity. 

I encourage all women to lean in, ask for help, think outside the box and do what ever it takes to find solutions so that they can do what they love doing. I also encourage  all women to make sure they are the lead actor in their own movie and not just the supporting role..
