Episode 43 – I'M A PERSON TOO! with Knitted Knockers SA Founder Dana Biddle

Loading player...
“My kids come first, but don't think for a second that means I come last. I may be a mother and my responsibilities may be great but, by God, I'll have my nachos and margaritas while watching Dateline if it's the last thing I do.”

Spot on, Mouthy Moms Club. Clearly it’s not just us at The Great Equalizer who are taking a stand against not mattering anymore. WE ARE PEOPLE TOO, FFS! We get hungry and tired and scared and gatvol and our feelings get hurt when those little people forget that we’re more than just a mom.

So in the latest episode of The Great Equalizer we revisit self care and we give ourselves permission to prioritise us. After all, we’re no good to our children or our spouses if we break, so we’re making sure we do what we need to do to keep ticking.

Guys, we’re looking around at the women (or just people!) around us and we’re realising that everyone’s feeling a little broken right now (perhaps it’s simply that time of the year). So whatever you’re currently, we see you. We salute you. You are doing a good job (and good is good enough, friend).

We hope that in listening to this episode you feel a little less alone.
