037: Discover How to Set the Burning Desire in Your Belly Ablaze | Kate Greenstock
If you’re a mother, then you’re already having an impact on the world. Yes indeed-ee.
[Kate Greenstock]
In today’s episode of Mum-to-Mum Monday, we’ll be discovering how to set the burning desire in your belly ablaze.
As a busy mum with competing demands and limited time you often feel torn and pulled in different directions. You pour out so much of yourself, your emotions, your energy into your family. It can feel like you’re carrying so much, but at the same time being ‘unproductive’ in the world’s eyes, despite wanting to make your mark.
But we’re going to give you another perspective.
My guest today is SuperMum Kate Greenstock
Kate, her husband, and their three children, who are 13, 11 and 7, live near Richmond Park in Greater London where she loves to breathe, cycle and deer stalk. Transitioning from a calling-the-shots career woman, to being a mother with no rule book to follow, proved to be more of a challenge than Kate expected.
But she found a solution, and along with it, her calling to help other mothers who were also feeling lost in motherhood.
At Wild Rubies, Kate helps mums to feel like they’re truly living, rather than just existing; re-discovering themselves and re-imagining their work lives in the process.
If you’re tired of being seen as just a worker or just a mother, Kate will help you find a way forward. Then you get to be seen by the world full and whole, and in creative technicolour.
Kate gives you permission to take the space to breathe and find the clarity needed to set your eyes on what’s ahead for you.
I’m so excited to welcome Kate to my show because she will teach you to be more like your children – incomplete, imperfect, curious, daring, outrageous and completely loved – and in doing so, fuel that fire in your belly.
