Motherhood is beautiful yet it comes with its challenges as we combine it with our many roles. Trying to get through the day can be overwhelming and leave you feeling exhausted. This can have a significant impact on your overall well being- physically, mentally, and emotionally but this does not have to be the case.
The Wellbeing 4 Mothers show brings to life the realities of motherhood, its impact on your wellbeing and what you can do about it.
You will hear from everyday mums, world experts on health, wellbeing, business, finance about practical tools and strategies that you can use daily to enhance your wellbeing of body, mind, soul and spirit.
Ever feel like 24 hours just isn’t enough? You're not alone! As mothers, we often juggle tasks for everyone but ourselves. But what if I told you it’s not about having more time, but about how we use it? Time can be your greatest productivity tool. In this episode of the Wellbeing 4 Mothers show, we explore how we can use time to do the things that matter and ensure our wellbeing.
Takeaway points

In this episode of the Wellbeing 4 Mothers show, Dr. Dunni movement not as a chore but something that helps you feel better, think clearer, and move through your day with more ease. Not every physical activity needs to be draining especially when you are already depleted in energy.
Key Takeaways
1. Movement should give you energy not drain it
Shift away from intense, exhausting workouts toward movement that helps you feel more awake, calm, and capable throughout your day.
2. Small moments of movement matter
Short bursts—like a 5–10 minute walk, stretching, or quick mobility add up and can be just as impactful as longer sessions.
3. Match movement to your daily energy
On busy or low-energy days, choose gentle options. On higher-energy days, do more. Flexibility creates consistency.
4. Integrate movement into real life
Build movement into your routine (calls, family time, daily tasks) so it becomes natural and sustainable not another obligation.

In this episode of the Wellbeing 4 Mothers show, Dr. Dunni explores the reasons behind maternal tiredness and offers practical strategies to boost energy and well-being. From physical hydration to emotional management and systematising daily tasks, this episode provides actionable insights for mothers seeking balance.
Key Takeaways
- You’re not lazy, you’re overloaded. Chronic stress and invisible labour drain real energy. This is a capacity issue, not a character flaw.
- Rest alone won’t fix structural overload. A bath or earlier bedtime won’t solve exhaustion caused by too many responsibilities. Reduce, delegate, or automate one ongoing task before adding more self-care.
- Small systems create big energy gains. Automate meals, share full responsibility (not just tasks), and reduce daily decisions. Less mental clutter = more energy.
- Support is a strategy, not a weakness. Chronic stress impacts physical and emotional health. Getting help isn’t indulgent it’s protective.

When a new season begins, many mothers feel pulled between caring for everyone else and finding space for themselves. Setting intentions offers a meaningful alternative to traditional resolutions one rooted in clarity, compassion, and purpose. Rather than striving for perfection, intentions help mothers align daily choices with how they want to feel, live, and lead within their families. This approach honours the realities of motherhood while creating room for growth, presence, and renewal.
Key Takeaways
Intentions create alignment, not pressure
Unlike resolutions that focus on rigid outcomes, intentions guide mothers toward living in harmony with their values, even when life feels unpredictable.
Self-awareness strengthens the whole family
When mothers set intentions around presence, compassion, or emotional honesty, they model healthy behaviours that positively influence their children and home environment.
Small, consistent choices matter most
Intentions don’t require big changes. They require simple, mindful actions practiced over time can lead to lasting emotional and personal growth.

Holiday stress often lands hardest on mothers, not because we can’t handle it, but because we carry too much of it silently. Managing the season well starts with intention; choosing what matters, communicating clearly, sharing responsibility, and protecting your emotional energy. When a mother leads with clarity instead of exhaustion, the entire family dynamic becomes calmer, more cooperative, and more meaningful.
Key Takeaways
- Prioritise what truly matters
Define your top holiday values early and let go of traditions or expectations that don’t serve them. - Say it out loud, early
Clear communication about capacity, needs, and flexibility prevents resentment and last-minute stress. - Share responsibility, not just chores
Hand over full ownership of tasks to reduce mental overload and create real partnership. - Set boundaries without guilt
Healthy limits around time, energy, and family dynamics protect your wellbeing and strengthen relationships.

When a parent leads with intention, children begin to see the world through a lens of appreciation rather than scarcity. A simple gratitude rhythm can transform daily routines, soften challenges, and help everyone notice the good that often goes overlooked. With just a few minutes of mindful attention each day, the entire household can develop a habit that nurtures resilience, empathy, and joy.
Key Takeaways
- Gratitude becomes easier when it’s woven into everyday moments. Small, consistent rituals make the practice feel natural and sustainable.
- Children learn gratitude by watching how you respond to life. Modelling appreciation teaches them to recognise positive moments even on hard days.
- A gratitude habit strengthens emotional bonds. Sharing meaningful reflections helps each family member feel seen, valued, and connected.

Motherhood can leave your hormones in chaos, leading to mood swings, fatigue, and that sense of “running on empty” are often signs your body’s internal rhythms need care, not control. The empowering truth? You can restore balance naturally by tuning into your body’s signals, nourishing yourself deeply, and managing stress with intention.
Key Takeaways:
- Feed Your Hormones, Don’t Fight Them:
Prioritise real, nutrient-rich foods, especially protein, healthy fats, and cruciferous veggies, to support natural hormone production and balance. - Stress Recovery Is the Secret Weapon:
It’s not about eliminating stress, but teaching your body to recover. Gentle movement, deep breathing, and brief rest periods help keep cortisol (the stress hormone) in check. - Sync With Your Body’s Rhythms:
Your menstrual cycle offers a natural map for energy, focus, and rest. Working with those phases can transform your productivity, mood, and well-being.

From sunlight that balances our body clocks to clean air that clears the mind, from the calming rhythm of natural soundscapes to the grounding touch of earth beneath our feet, the natural world actively supports our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. When we step outside, we engage with systems that our biology evolved to rely on. In doing so, we don’t just escape stress we recalibrate health at its roots.
Key Takeaways:
- Light resets your body and mind.
Natural daylight aligns your circadian rhythm, boosts serotonin, and supports restful sleep effects artificial light can’t replicate. Just 20 minutes of morning sunlight can lift mood and sharpen focus all day. - Air clears and revitalises.
Fresh, well-circulated outdoor air lowers stress hormones and supports respiratory and cardiovascular health. Green spaces act as natural air filters, making every deep breath a small act of renewal. - Sound restores inner balance.
The gentle chorus of birds, rustling leaves, and flowing water calms the nervous system, lowers blood pressure, and reduces anxiety proven through multiple physiological studies on sound therapy in nature. - Earth grounds and reconnects.
Contact with soil or natural surfaces can reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and enhance mindfulness. Gardening, walking barefoot, or simply touching the earth deepens sensory awareness and emotional calm.

Being a working mother means you’re constantly switching gears, leading at work, nurturing at home, and trying to keep a little energy for yourself. It’s no wonder your hormones can feel off-balance. The truth is, your hormones respond to the way you live your daily life, including your rest, nutrition, physical activity, and even your social connections, as outlined in the SPOKE model.
Key Takeaways:
The SPOKE Model
S – Stay Connected
Nurture relationships that fill you up. Genuine connection lowers cortisol and boosts oxytocin — your natural stress reliever.
P – Prioritise Rest
Sleep is your nightly hormone reset. Aim for consistent rest so melatonin can do its job.
O – Optimise Nutrition
Fuel your body with real foods. Each meal helps balance insulin and other hormones naturally.
K – Keep Moving
Find joy in movement. A few minutes of walking or stretching can boost endorphins, regulate energy, and steady your mood.
E – Eliminate Toxins
Reduce exposure to chemicals in plastics, cleaners, and beauty products. Your liver and your hormones will thank you.

Between midnight feedings, early alarms, and never-ending to-do lists, sleep often feels like a luxury for mothers. But in truth, sleep is one of the most powerful tools for maintaining overall wellness.
When you prioritise rest, you’re not just recharging your body. You’re strengthening your ability to show up fully for yourself and your family.
- Sleep fuels resilience – A well-rested mind and body can handle stress, illness, and daily challenges far more effectively.
- Small steps matter – Even short naps, earlier bedtimes, or sharing nighttime duties can add up to meaningful rest.
- Rest is a form of self-care – prioritising your sleep is not selfish; it’s essential to your health and sets a positive example for your children.

Motherhood often comes with an invisible pressure to “do it all” perfectly, such as meals, schedules, schoolwork, work-life balance, and even self-care. But striving for perfection can leave you drained and discouraged. What matters most for you and your family isn’t flawlessness, it’s consistency. Small, steady efforts create security, connection, and growth far more than a perfect moment ever could.
Key Takeaways:
1. Small Moments Count More Than Big Gestures
Reading one bedtime story, sharing a 10-minute walk, or simply being present at dinner creates lasting memories. Your children won’t remember perfect meals; they’ll remember consistent love.
- 2. Reliability Builds Confidence
Kids thrive when they know what to expect. Daily rituals like hugs before school or evening check-ins are far more impactful than rare “perfect” days. - 3. Let Go of Perfect to Gain Presence
Perfection often steals joy. Choosing consistency allows you to show up authentically, even if the house isn’t spotless or the day didn’t go as planned. That presence is what your family values most. CONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Life as a working mother often feels like running a marathon with no finish line. Between deadlines, school drop-offs, and the unexpected curveballs of parenting, it’s easy to slip into survival mode. The secret to shifting from chaos to calm lies in weekly prep rituals—small, intentional practices that set the tone for smoother days ahead. These rituals aren’t about adding more to your plate; they’re about streamlining the noise so you can focus on what truly matters: your family, your career, and your well-being.Key Takeaways:
- Prep once, breathe all week. A little planning upfront—like meal prep or setting out outfits—saves hours of decision fatigue and stress later.
- Protect your priorities. Family time, rest, and personal goals deserve a place in your calendar before it fills with everything else.
- Simplify to sustain. Consistent, repeatable rituals keep you grounded and adaptable as life evolves, helping you thrive instead of just manage. CONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Motherhood rarely leaves room for "extra" time, so building new habits often feels unrealistic. The science of habit stacking offers a smarter way: attach new behaviours to the routines you already do on autopilot. By working with your brain’s natural wiring, you can make lasting changes without extra mental load.
Takeaways:
- Leverage what you already do—don’t reinvent your day, layer habits onto it.
- Small is powerful—tiny actions accumulate into lasting change.
- Family habits multiply impact—when routines flow, everyone benefitsCONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Life as a busy mother often feels like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle—one wrong move, and something crashes. Time-blocking offers a calmer, more strategic way to manage your day. By assigning dedicated “blocks” of time to specific tasks, you stop multitasking yourself into exhaustion and start creating a rhythm that works for both your family and your sanity. It’s not about cramming more into your day—it’s about using your hours with intention, so you can protect what truly matters.
Takeaways:
Your Calendar is a Boundary, Not a Suggestion
Time-blocking works because it tells you exactly when to focus and when to rest, helping you say “no” without guilt.
Batching is a Friend indeed
Grouping similar tasks together reduces decision fatigue and keeps you in the flow.
Flex Time Saves the Day
Life with kids is unpredictable; having a buffer block is your secret weapon against chaos.
Schedule Your selfcare
The blocks for you can include time to read, exercise, take a stroll.

In the whirlwind of modern motherhood, “mum guilt” has become an everyday emotional companion, especially when balancing work, family, and personal time. This article explores five practical, forward-thinking strategies to help mothers manage guilt without sacrificing their well-being or their connection with their children. The key lies not in doing more, but in making meaningful choices that align with your values and priorities.
Key Takeaways:
Connection Beats Quantity
Short, focused moments with your child can be more impactful than long stretches of distracted time. Intentional presence matters most.
Your Calendar Is a Boundary Tool
Use your schedule to protect time for family, rest, and yourself. When everything is a priority, nothing truly is
Let Go of Perfection
Release the need to be everything for everyone. Your presence and emotional availability far outweigh doing everything “right.”
Guilt Is a Signal, Not a Sentence
Use guilt as a clue to what matters most to you—not as a verdict on your parenting. Reflect and realign instead of spiraling.

In a world filled with distractions, stress, and emotional ups and downs, teaching kids how to calm themselves is one of the most powerful life skills we can give them. From toddlers who are just beginning to understand their feelings, to teenagers facing academic and social pressures, each stage of childhood comes with unique emotional challenges. The good news? Children can learn to manage their emotions — but they need the right tools, tailored to their age and development.
This guide offers age-appropriate calming techniques for kids ages 2 to 18, helping them build confidence, resilience, and emotional intelligence from the inside out. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver, these strategies can become part of a child’s everyday toolbox for emotional wellness.
Key Takeaways:
1. Emotional regulation is a learned skill — not automatic
Kids aren't born knowing how to manage big emotions. Just like walking or reading, calming down is something that must be taught, practised, and reinforced over time.
2. One size doesn’t fit all.
What works for a toddler (like a sensory bottle) may be ineffective for a teen. Calming methods should be age-appropriate and reflect a child’s cognitive and emotional development.
3. Consistency and modeling matter.
When adults use and model calming techniques themselves, kids are more likely to adopt and trust those tools — especially in emotionally intense moments.
4. Giving kids these tools builds lifelong resilience.
Teaching children how to self-soothe not only helps them today but empowers them to handle stress, anxiety, and conflict in healthy ways throughout their livesRESOURCES

4 Key Takeaways:
- You don’t need extra time—just intention.
Mindfulness can be practised in the moments you already have: during a commute, in between meetings, or while folding laundry. - Small pauses create big shifts.
Techniques like deep breathing or mindful transitions only take seconds but can reset your mindset and lower stress immediately. - The body holds stress—release it intentionally.
A quick body scan or stretch can help you recognise and relieve tension before it builds up. - Savour the good, not just survive the busy.
Mindfulness helps you fully experience life’s small joys, your child’s laugh, a hot drink, or a quiet moment, rather than rushing past them.

Motherhood often feels like an endless sprint — appointments, school runs, laundry mountains, and the emotional labour of caring for everyone else. But what if you could step off the treadmill and live more intentionally? Slow living invites you to do just that. It's not about doing less for the sake of laziness — it’s about doing less so you can experience more. More connection. More presence. More peace. For mothers, this isn't just a lifestyle shift — it's a lifeline back to yourself and your family.
Key Takeaways
1. Choose Presence, Not Perfection
Focus on being with your kids, not doing everything flawlessly.
2. Protect Your Pace
Slowing down supports your well-being and reduces burnout.
3. Simplify to Find Joy
Less clutter and chaos = more peace and gratitude.
4. Lead by Living It
Your kids learn mindfulness by watching you live it.

In the nonstop rhythm of motherhood, it’s easy for mothers to lose themselves in the shuffle of responsibilities and caregiving. But carving out solo time isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Taking even a small break to be alone helps mothers mentally reset, reconnect emotionally, and return to their families with more presence and patience. When mothers give themselves permission to pause, everyone benefits.
Key Takeaways
- Solo Time Fuels Emotional Recharge
Time alone gives moms space to decompress, reflect, and process emotions, reducing burnout and boosting resilience. - Presence Requires Rest
Being fully present with your family is nearly impossible when you're running on empty. Regular solo time helps restore energy and mental clarity. - Self-Care Sets a Healthy Example
Prioritising your well-being teaches your children that caring for yourself is not selfish—it’s vital, and it’s powerful.

Motherhood is a 24/7 role, filled with love, responsibility, and often, very little time for yourself. But self-care doesn’t have to mean expensive spa days or elaborate routines.
In fact, the most meaningful self-care often happens in the quiet, everyday moments—right where you are, with what you already have. The key is intention.
Key Takeaways
1. Your Peace Is Portable - You don’t need a spa or getaway. Create a corner in your home—on a chair, by a window, or on your bed—where you can pause and reset. This pocket of peace can be your daily sanctuary.
2. Mindfulness Doesn’t Need Wi-Fi - You can calm your mind in just five minutes a day. Try deep breathing while the kids nap, or focus on your breath during daily chores. No apps or tools required—just your breath and presence.
- Move to Feel Good, Not to “Work Out”- You don’t need a gym to energise your body. Dance, stretch, walk—whatever gets you moving in a way that feels joyful and natural. Movement is medicine, and it doesn’t have to cost a thing.
Remember: Self-care isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters, even in small doses. Start where you are, use what you have, and honour your own needs. You deserve care, too. Always.

Today, Dr. Dunni delves into the theme of facing opposition in our lives, particularly for mothers. She emphasizes the importance of optimizing our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being when confronted with challenges, whether they arise from within or from external sources. Dr. Dunni introduces a practical framework called the "CALM" model, which guides listeners through the process of confirming their feelings, analyzing situations, laying out a plan, and managing their responses to the opposition.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Opposition can be both internal and external. Internal opposition often manifests as self-doubt and identity crises, while external opposition can come from various sources, including family, friends, and societal pressures.
- To effectively love and support others, it is crucial to first love and accept oneself. This self-acceptance lays the foundation for healthy relationships with others, including children and partners.
- A practical approach to facing opposition involves the CALM model, which stands for Confirm how you feel, Analyze the situation, Lay out a plan, and Manage the implementation.
- Confirming one's feelings is essential for emotional health. Acknowledging emotions like anger, sadness, or frustration allows individuals to process their experiences rather than suppress them, preventing future emotional outbursts.
- When creating a plan to address opposition, it is important to remain flexible and have a backup plan. This adaptability ensures that individuals can navigate unexpected challenges and find solutions that work for them and others involved.
BEST MOMENTS
"Sometimes you're pushing something that isn't quite strong and it seems to be pushing back."
"Love your neighbour as yourself... it's only when you love yourself, you can love your neighbor."
"Every mom is a super mom, not because of what they do, but who they are."
"Face everything and rise."
"When you face opposition, the best way forward will be backward."

Today, Dr. Dunni explores the delicate balance between career aspirations and family responsibilities. She shares her personal experiences as both a working and stay-at-home mother, highlighting the emotional and financial pressures that often compel mothers to continue working despite the challenges of childcare and career interruptions. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of creating harmony between work and home life, rather than striving for a strict balance, and encourages mothers to harness the energy derived from their love for their children to fuel their professional growth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Many mothers face the challenge of balancing their careers and motherhood, often feeling overwhelmed and drained as they try to juggle both responsibilities.
- The rising cost of living has made it necessary for many families to have dual incomes, which can force mothers to continue working even if they would prefer to stay at home.
- Childcare can be expensive and complicated, with situations where mothers still have to pay for services even when their children are unable to attend due to illness.
- Instead of striving for a strict balance between work and home life, mothers should aim for harmony, where both aspects complement each other and allow for personal and professional growth.
- Practicing gratitude for both home and work life can help mothers maintain a positive mindset, enabling them to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning rather than setbacks.
BEST MOMENTS
"Finances have become a hot topic in our day and age, especially with the rising cost of living. In those days, it was a situation whereby one person went to work And with that salary, you could feed the entire family. Now, you need two people working to be able to take care of food, clothing, shelter, basic necessities of life."
"Delay is not denial."
"Harmony comes when you take the energy that you build up from the love that you shower on yourself and your child and the people around you. And you use that generated energy to fuel your passion, your job, your career, your business, your work."
"Tapping into the gratitude of whatever situation you're in allows you to see things differently."

In this episode, Dr. Dunn delves into the sensitive topics of shame and guilt that many mothers face. She shares personal experiences and insights on how to navigate through feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of self-love, empathy, and sharing experiences to overcome shame and move forward with confidence. She encourages listeners to embrace their mistakes, recognize their worth, and strive for personal growth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It is crucial to show empathy towards oneself and others, focusing on behaviour rather than identity.
- Don't keep experiences of shame a secret, as secrecy can make shame more powerful. Sharing with trusted individuals can help alleviate shame.
- Laughter can be a healing tool when dealing with shame, as long as it is done with self-compassion and not self-deprecation.
- Just like in the movie "Shawshank Redemption," moving through shame can be likened to crawling through a sewer - uncomfortable but necessary for rejuvenation and growth.

BEST MOMENTS

"Empathy, not sympathy, empathy. You see, don't feel sorry for yourself, but feel the love for yourself."
"When you share, it takes a huge load off your chest. And it also depletes the power of shame."
"You might have made mistakes. Yes, you might have been told you need to be ashamed. I want to tell you today that you can turn this around."

In this podcast episode, Dr. Dunni delves into the topic of stress management for mothers. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing stress factors that may be impacting one's well-being. Dr. Dunni shares three key questions mothers can ask themselves to identify and manage stress effectively. By encouraging self-reflection and emotional awareness, she guides listeners on a journey towards understanding their feelings, naming their emotions, and uncovering the root causes of stress.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

- By asking yourself how you truly feel, what you are feeling, and what is causing those feelings, you can gain clarity and insight into your emotional well-being.

- Finding a mentor or coach can provide guidance and support on your journey to better emotional well-being and stress management.
- Being part of a supportive community, like the Wellbeing for Mothers Club, can offer tools, resources, and a sense of belonging to help navigate challenges and promote well-being.
BEST MOMENTS
"Stress is not a bad thing. We all need to go through a level of stress to advance, to grow, to develop, to actually become a better version of ourselves."
"Society has so programmed us that we should be able to hold back our emotions. But you see, there's a problem there. you and I, especially as women, are quite emotional creatures."
"Challenges are great. They can actually make people break down, which unfortunately happens, but they can also make people break records."
"Sometimes when you experience something and you cannot put it into words, it kind of sits in your being as a load because you cannot express yourself."

Through heartfelt storytelling and practical insights, the episode serves as a guiding light for mothers seeking empowerment and well-being in their journey through motherhood.
POEM
Day in, day out, you carry out your chores
When you think you are almost done, there is always more
Feeling drained & frustrated are a daily experience
This is a mother's tale, chipping away her confidence
Some days she asks, 'Am I good enough?'
Other days she is told, 'You are NOT good enough'
It comes as actions, inactions, words & glares
from strangers # & sometimes from those she hold dear
These are times you hear a mother sigh
When she needs love & support ever nigh
These are times when your actions, words or glare
Gives her hope that help is near.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It's important to allow yourself to feel and acknowledge your emotions, whether it's sadness, frustration, or anger. Validating your feelings can lead to healing and growth.
- Surround yourself with a supportive tribe of people who understand and uplift you. This can include fellow mothers, friends, or even parents of your children's classmates.
- Practice selective hearing to filter out negative criticism and focus on positive support. Responding thoughtfully to challenges rather than reacting impulsively can lead to better outcomes.
- Prioritize your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Taking care of yourself allows you to be a better parent and role model for your children.
- Embrace the concept of kintsugi, where broken pieces are mended with precious metal. Use the wisdom gained from difficult experiences to piece together a stronger, more resilient self.
BEST MOMENTS
"Mothers need to recognize that we never know what someone is going through until we walk in their own shoes."
"Allow yourself to feel the emotions you're feeling in that moment without labeling them, this is a good emotion, this is a bad emotion."
"Life is in a constant flow. Sometimes things are up, sometimes they are down, sometimes things are hard, sometimes they are easy."
"There are moments when you sigh. There are moments when you cry. There are moments where you feel broken."
"I see you, I'm here for you. These are words you can say, you're enough."

Too much to do, so little time
This has soon become a mother's rhyme
Day in day out, the tasks don't end
Going into the night when everyone's in bed
So the pressure has caused you to grow extra hands
All the balls are in the air, and they don't get to land
Now, you are a persistent juggler; the world is your circus
Little wonder why stress and exhaustion affect the best of us
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Juggling multiple tasks and responsibilities as a mother can be challenging and overwhelming.
- Prioritizing tasks and scheduling priorities is crucial for managing time effectively.
- Utilizing time blocks for well-being activities, such as breathing exercises or hydration breaks, is important for self-care.
- Combining brain-intensive tasks with muscle-intensive tasks can help maximize productivity.
- Limiting distractions, automating tasks with technology, and using technology wisely can improve efficiency and productivity.
BEST MOMENTS
"We do not prioritize our schedule; we schedule our priorities."
"There are certain things that we need to do, but because they are so uncomfortable, unpleasant, maybe hard, we say, I'll do it later."
"These well-being blocks are supposed to keep us having those moments of relaxing, whether you're breathing, or you're going to just close your eyes and have a bit of a siesta."
"There are so many tasks that we do, but there are some things that can be put on repeat. So when this comes, this comes and takes it away and carries it somewhere else. You can automate that."
"It is okay that it happens, but it's also okay if you let some of those balls drop. We are juggling rubber balls, we are juggling glass balls. There are some that can drop."

This time, she is discussing four books that have had a profound impact on her life and can help mothers become more effective leaders. Dr Dunni discusses how these books generate curiosity about the existence of other people. Through these books, she considers the importance of tackling difficult tasks head on, the connection between physical health and holistic well-being, the formation of habits and the need to think for ourselves. Dr Dunni ends the episode by encouraging readers to find enlightenment by living in the present moment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

"The moment you have a reason for being, it makes a huge difference. But the moment you start to say, oh, I don't know what I'm doing. Maybe I'm not doing it right. Oh, well, I'll just sit down. I'll go lay me down. Then it becomes like that vehicle that you have at home that nobody drives."

Dr Dunni's Poem for You
I love reading books & I don't know why
But when I don't read, I feel lost inside
Whether fiction or non-fiction, reading makes me high
like bubbling & fizzing up in my mind
From answering questions that keep me up at night
To making me laugh because of the humour light
I cherish the guidance that reading books bring
I hope you find it useful & even make it your thing

"These books have really done a lot and they offer a lot. They are books that you don't just read once and put aside, but you keep revisiting every now and again."
"Fast Like a Girl... helps us understand the kind of foods we should be eating. It helps us to understand when we should be eating these foods."

POEM
It will all work out by Dr Dunni
Sometimes, it feels like the sky is falling
And no one hears you when you are calling
Sometimes, it seems too much to bear
and your heart aches with mounting fear.
Through the anguish, regret, and pain
You may not hear when someone calls your name.
Through moments of freeze, fight and flight
You wish & hope that someone sees your plight.
Maybe this is what life as a mother means
where the struggle continues without end it seems
Maybe there is a way, to understand what this is about
where you finally feel that it will all work out.

In this episode of the Wellbeing for Mothers show, Dr. Dunni discusses the topic of expectations. She starts by acknowledging that there will always be people who will never be satisfied or grateful, no matter what you do. Dr. Dunni shares her personal experience of being a chronic people pleaser and how she made the decision to stop seeking approval from others. She emphasizes the importance of managing expectations, both the expectations others have of us and the expectations we have of others. Dr. Dunni also highlights the need for mothers to avoid projecting their own expectations onto their children and instead support them in pursuing their own passions and talents. Overall, this episode encourages listeners to prioritize their own well-being and not rely on external validation for happiness.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Some people will never be pleased or show gratitude, no matter what you do. It is important to recognize this and not bend over backwards to seek their approval.
- As mothers, there is often a natural inclination to please and help others, but it is important to be aware when people consistently show their true colors through nastiness, meanness, and ingratitude.

BEST MOMENTS"There are some times that people are constantly showing us who they are by their nastiness, by their meanness and by their ingratitude."
"We need to tap into that power that we've got. We need to help our children to tap into that power that they've got."

- Stop, take stock, and put things in perspective: The podcast outlines a three-step formula for navigating breakdowns. First, it is important to stop and take a moment to breathe and let go.

Finally, put things in perspective by examining the potential opportunities for growth and utilizing resources effectively.

"A breakdown can be the beginning of something beautiful. I needed a breakdown to remodel my thinking, to remodel my process, to remodel my life."
"When we stop and take stock, we are looking at each and every one of them one by one. We are having the opportunity to kind of have a very detailed examination of what we have in front of us."
"Sometimes tragedies, sometimes challenges, sometimes losses can cause us to look at things differently. And sometimes even those things that you thought, oh, they are worthless, they can suddenly become your gems."
"Remember, challenges come, breakdowns come, but they don't need to keep you broken down. Rise up. Utilize that breakdown as a moment to stop, to take stock, and to use the stuff to put things in perspective."

Dr Dunni explores the power of kindness as a pathway to happiness. She shares a heartwarming story of a young boy who was helped by a kind shop owner, and how that act of kindness changed both their lives. Dr Dunni emphasises the importance of being kind to ourselves as mothers and highlights different ways to practice kindness, including through our presence, thoughts, words, and actions. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences of kindness and to extend gratitude to those who have shown kindness to them too.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Kindness has the power to positively impact others and make the world a better place. By exhibiting kindness to each other, we can create a more compassionate and supportive society.
- Mothers need to exhibit kindness to themselves. Often, mothers are so focused on taking care of others that they neglect their own needs. By practising self-kindness, mothers can improve their own well-being and be better equipped to care for their families.
- Kindness can be expressed in various ways, including through presence, thoughts, words, and actions. Simply being there for someone can make them feel supported and valued. Being mindful of our thoughts and choosing kind words can uplift and empower others. Taking action, whether it's offering help or donating to a cause, can have a significant impact on someone's life.
- Kindness is a practice that requires conscious effort. It is not enough to simply think about being kind; it requires intentional actions and a mindset of compassion. By cultivating mindfulness and being present in our interactions, we can better express kindness to ourselves and others.
- Kindness brings happiness and fulfilment. Both the giver and the recipient of kindness can experience a deep sense of joy, peace, and love. Acts of kindness have the power to create positive change and foster a sense of connection and gratitude. By practising kindness, we can contribute to our own well-being and the well-being of those around us.
BEST MOMENTS
"I believe very strongly that if each and every one of us could exhibit kindness to each other, the world would definitely be a better place."
"If we can exhibit that kindness to ourselves, it will even be better."
"There are certain words we say to ourselves that make us lose ourselves, our essence, our beingness."
"Think about being kind with your words, the words you say to yourself and the words you say to others."
"Your kindness, whether it be by your presence, by your thoughts, by your words, or by your actions, are road to happiness."

"It is a realisation that you value that relationship more than you value the situation that has led to that conflict."
"Sometimes it's needed because for a conflict to have happened there are some contributing factors and your contribution might have made things worse. You can apologise for that contributing element that has made it worse."

On this episode Dr Dunni dives into the profound impact of stress on our daily lives, especially when it accumulates over time. It's crucial to recognise that stress can be insidious, leading to burnout if left unaddressed. I want every mother to understand that there wellbeing matters just as much as anyone else's.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Stress can have a significant impact on our daily lives, especially when it builds up over time.

BEST MOMENTS
"Stress is not a bad thing, but when it's built up over time, it can become overwhelming.""Unless you have a strategy to dispel that stress or to get rid of the build-up before it becomes a mountain, you can have burnout affecting your life.""You need to be a bit more cautious… Make sure that whatever you're going through on a daily basis does not stress you out to the point that you feel so overwhelmed, so burnt out, that it starts to impact your health.""There are certain occupations, there are certain circumstances that can make you more prone to stress and burnout. However, even if you're so laid back, you can have stress build up unless you have a strategy or a way by which you release the stress and ensure that you don't allow it to build up.""When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. You can change the way you look at stress and it's going to change for the better for you."

- Children love stories. Share stories from your own life or create imaginative stories to engage your children's imagination and foster a deeper connection with them.
- Make spending time with your children a regular occurrence. Don't just reserve special moments for holidays or special occasions. Find regular activities or rituals that you can do together to create lasting memories.
- Seek to understand your children's interests and preferences. Take an interest in what they enjoy and incorporate those activities into the time you spend together. This will show them that you value their interests and strengthen your bond with them.
BEST MOMENTS"No matter how you try to take time off and be with your children, it's not about the quantity of time you spend. It is more about the quality.""Nobody likes the boring. Even if someone says, 'I'm just a boring person. I enjoy the boring.' When you bring something fun, they will be excited. Their emotions will shift.""Children love stories. Actually, maybe I should rephrase that. Human beings love stories.""Seek first to understand. When you seek first to understand your child, understand what appeals to them, understand what they are interested in, then they will understand you and then the rapport will be built.""It's not just once a year at Christmas or summer holidays. It is spanning through. These are the memories."

Dr. Dunni shares her personal experience of going through multiple breakdowns and how she was able to turn them into breakthroughs. She emphasizes the importance of changing one's focus, words, actions, and surroundings in order to transform a difficult situation into something positive. Dr. Dunni provides practical steps and examples, such as shifting from negative to hopeful questions, using positive affirmations, protecting one's sacred space, and making conscious changes in daily actions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Breakdowns can be turned into breakthroughs: The podcast episode emphasizes that even in the darkest and most painful moments of our lives, we have the power to turn them around and transform them into something positive.
- Change your focus: Instead of dwelling on negative thoughts and circumstances, it is important to shift our focus towards finding clarity, learning from the situation, and seeking opportunities for growth and improvement.
- Change your words: The words we speak to ourselves and others have a significant impact on our mindset and emotions. By replacing negative self-talk with positive affirmations and using the word "yet" to acknowledge that we haven't achieved something yet but will in the future, we can change our perspective and create a more empowering narrative.
- Change what is around you: Surrounding ourselves with positivity and limiting exposure to negativity is crucial for our well-being. This can involve setting boundaries with people who bring us down, avoiding negative news or social media, and creating a sacred space that supports our growth and happiness.
- Change your actions: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. To create a breakthrough, we need to change our actions and try new approaches. This can involve breaking old habits, adopting new routines, and taking proactive steps towards our goals.
BEST MOMENTS
- "Change is a constant that occurs, but you can use change as your own agent to convert things to what you want them to be."
- "Where your focus goes, energy flows."
- "You are the screenwriter. You are the producer. You are the actor. You are everything in your life story."
- "Protect your sacred space."
- "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is a definition of insanity."

In this in depth interview Jenn Drakes, author, speaker and podcast host talks about unconventional parenting and giving your children the right tools to do things for themselves
As a single parent of four children Jenn explains the crucial importance of creating your own mould for being a mother and not feeling you have to parent in the same way as others
Choose you and teach your children to how to love you and appreciate you the way you love and appreciate them and you can become the artisan of your life
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Single parenting is a great privilege and honour its what has enabled me to grow
- The guilt comes from societal expectations of mothers
- I needed to create parenting my way and not follow the expectations. If you don’t fit into the mould, create your own
- You need to give your children the right tools to be able to do things for themselves
- When you are raising children really trust their brain power
- Bring your children up to have a voice and feel comfortable in their own skin
- There are generations of kids who have grown up with rules and they don’t know how to adapt their thinking to resolve situations
- The only person who has the right to a say whether you are a good or not good parent is your child
- Take the guilt away and walk in your own parenting shoes doing the best you can do to raise your children to be good citizens
BEST MOMENTS
‘Create your own shoes and stop trying to fit into someone else’s’
‘I trusted the capacity of my children to process, understand and not be misguided by society statements’
‘Take off the cloak of guilt there is no perfect mother or father out there’

In the journey of motherhood, there are many challenges and in this episode, Dr Dunni shares why the true opposite of success is complacency
This is a great opportunity to hear about how complacency can creep up on us and rob us of time, possibilities, resourcefulness, creativity and energy but as Dr Dunni explains there are actions you can take to be aware and guard against complacency in all areas of your life and achieve the success you want
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The real opposite of failure is complacency
- When we are complacent we open ourselves up to things that rob our time, beliefs, resourcefulness and positive energy
- When you are aware you can guard your time, beliefs, resourcefulness and energy
- Success is not a lack of resources it’s a lack of resourcefulness
- If you become too comfortable you won’t notice what’s falling through the cracks
- Time is a resource that is finite and complacency can steal and waste your time
- Complacency can mean your beliefs and thoughts become stagnant lacking growth
- If you can’t see the possibilities you are limiting yourself and you can be more and do more
- Move away from complacency and step into success
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s a concept of awareness, implementation and self-improvement’
‘When you are in a space of complacency things can steal your time’
‘We put our beliefs in tiny containers and limit them with complacency’

ABOUT THE GUEST
After suffering a rare spinal stroke in March 2015, Riona Kelly became paralysed. Initially it was from her neck down as her spine went into complete shock becoming completely concussed. After weeks of intense therapy in hospital Riona regained her upper body functions. This allowed Riona to start building up her upper body strength to be able to help her in her pathway to learning how to walk again whilst her legs were not functioning as they should. The doctors were hopeful that Riona would regain the ability to walk again, but after 6 weeks into her rehab she was given the devastating news that she would never walk again.
Today Riona is going from strength to strength waking with the assistance of Keeogo (the first derma skeleton AI robotic legs). Riona has documented and shared her journey over social media to help others through their trials. She is committed to helping others live their best lives by showing all that with a little bit of faith and a whole lot of “will” that anything is possible.
Riona’s story continues to reach every part of the globe, giving hope for all. She engages with the global community on how to transpire their lives with her online courses, public speaking, charity work, educational work and through her empowerment retreats supporting females, males, couples, relationships, families, corporate clients and businesses world wide.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Lean into the frustration and the uncomfortable situation
- Whenever you are faced with a challenge think about how you lean into it in a healthy way
- When you reflect on the challenge and look closer you are increasing your self-awareness
- Every human being has a sphere of concern and a sphere of influence
- Going through the challenges is how you become who you are meant to be
- Lean into the challenges, open yourself to the experience
- Life isn’t meant to be done on your own, ask for help if you need it, connect with others
- Always look for the meaning and the learning you can take from any challenge
Ask yourself:
- What does this mean?
- How can I use this?
- What can I learn?
BEST MOMENTS
‘Sometimes you can face challenges that seem insurmountable’
‘You are like a diamond being made’

Are you edging God out? Are you holding onto your ego and not letting yourself be who you’re meant to be? Are you holding yourself back? If you are, you’re in for a big surprise! EGO can be viewed as an acronym. Edging God Out, but there is another as Dr. Dunni will show on this episode.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
-
Thinking about yourself isn’t all bad, but it can make communication, relationships and life in general very difficult.
-
When you’re focused on yourself in your own cocoon, it can be very easy to close yourself down to others, close yourself down from your true purpose and close yourself down from God.
- Grief can be a source of self discovery. By working through pain, you can discover your own story and your own inner strengths.
BEST MOMENTS
“At that point I was wrestling my desire to empower mothers, to reach out to the world with my nature of being introverted.”
“We hold on to broken experiences, but we want something new. We need to let it go.”
“The gratitude strategy is for the good, the bad and the ugly things we’ve experienced.”

When you’re navigating your way through parts of life that can feel like rough terrain overgrown with weeds, there’s a chance of being bitten by all sorts of things. Dr. Dunni is here to empower you to free yourself from those weeds in your mind.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When we look at uninvited, limiting and disempowering thoughts, these are the weeds that choke a positive growth.
- Think about uprooting a weed. This needs to have the right tools because there are many different types. This is the same with negative thoughts and emotions.
- Negative views and limiting thoughts can take root very early in life and digging these out can take quite a lot of effort.
- There are several ways of ridding yourself of these weeds or thoughts. One of them is probably the least popular and the most prone to side effects - chemicals.
BEST MOMENTS
“ Sometimes some weeds can be useful. They were not planted by you, but they are useful. But then they are no longer weeds because they are wanted. The moment a plant is growing in a place it is not wanted, it is a weed.”
“Teacher told you you’re not good enough, you don’t know what you’re talking about, be quiet or perhaps you have some cultural input where girls are to be quiet. Do not speak until you’re spoken to, you are to be seen, not heard. Those are weeds!”
“I’m blending in some gardening/ horticultural methods as a farmer's daughter with holistic care.”

You’re a farmer and your plot of land is your mind and the seeds you plant can sometimes bring you things you don’t want. Sometimes rhere are going to be weeds growing from the things that you have planted…
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We have a choice of the crops that we plant in the pieces of land we have available. These are just the same as our goals, aspirations and desires we plant in our own minds.
- There will be times that you can intentionally create the environment that you choose to experience.
- Always keep your circles of influence in mind. What you can control and also accept there will be events beyond it is key to managing your own wellbeing.

“One of the superpowers that we have, especially as mothers, is our creativity. We create the environment that we have available.”
“Every step is very intentional and one thing about being intentional is it gives you back your influence and as you take back your influence, which is a superpower, you expand your circle of influence”
“If you tell your child and you’re not acting in accordance with what you have said, they will take how you’re acting and express that in their own actions.”

Many times we look at a problem and think that it’s insurmountable. That’s the way we feel in many moments of desperation. Today Dr. Dunni shares a way of changing how you view these problems with these three simple steps.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As an infant, there’s no such thing as can’t. We reach for anything, we dare to start walking, we dare to explore. The word can’t is a limiting belief that’s imposed on us.
- Once you believe in the existence of a solution, the next stage is to create it. Seek help if you need it and speak it out. Affirmation is a powerful tool.
- The third stage is faith. Don’t wait for the evidence. Like a river that flows over any rock, having the faith that you will overcome is the most important part of moving to “I Can”
BEST MOMENTS
“ The moment that you start to think something cannot be done, the momentum to get you to take action starts to dwindle.”
“We have all those quotes about Monday. Now you wonder why people are stressed out.”
“ Whenever you speak words of positivity, affirmation, possibility, you are empowered.”
“Sometimes stepping back helps us to get a clearer perspective. It helps us to get that crystal clear view of the problem”

Have you ever seen yourself in a situation where you’ve got plans, you’ve got your things to do and then something comes along and changes things completely and you’re not sure what to do? While some people crumble under the pressure of the unknown, some people make a positive difference. Today, Dr. Dunni looks at how you can overcome the unexpected obstacles.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Events may happen that force your circumstances to change dramatically. Being open and being able to show your vulnerabilities can help you manage your expectations.
- Making things fun is an easy way to introduce how you make your plans flexible.
- Allowing yourself to adopt a fluid, flexible state and tapping into your inner child is an important way to show yourself and your children that no challenge is insurmountable.
- You have to give yourself time to celebrate yourself. It’s easy to beat yourself up when you feel like you’ve done something wrong, it needs to be just as easy to acknowledge the times when you’ve done a good job too.
BEST MOMENTS
“ Having made a five year plan, I got shocking news. And this news lasted over a few months.”
“ Whenever we adopt a rigid, solid, unmovable, unshakeable, unwavering attitude towards situations we struggle.”
“Am I helping them or am I hindering them?”
“Why don’t we celebrate ourselves? Let’s be the ones that are triggering the release of that dopamine that is going to help us feel better.”

Are you a working mum and have you been asked such challenging questions as why do you work? There are so many of these types of questions and as a mother, these can really feed into your sense of guilt.
On today’s episode, Dr. Dunni explores some of these questions and assumptions you face on a daily basis and how to deal with them.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There are many expectations placed on you as a mother and these will change depending on what your situation is.
- When you’re asked questions like “how do you manage to do it all?” They’re not empowering. These kinds of questions are never directed at working fathers.
- There are other questions that are now legally dubious and frowned upon. Chief amongst these has to be “are you planning to have any more children?”
- Nobody has exactly the same experience as a working mother. You know what works best for you.
BEST MOMENTS
“ It’s almost like riding a unicycle, balancing all those bowls, some are glass, some are plastic and you’re not particularly sure what you’re going to do next.”
“ Why don’t you just quit your job? Now of course it sometimes comes from a place of concern and from a place of, perhaps a ‘you have a choice’ mentality.”
“Everything can be a challenge. It can be, very frankly, I’m not saying it’s easy. I’ve been there. I am there. I know what it’s like.”

“Do you think there are some times that you think that you’re holding yourself back - holding yourself back from your greatness - holding yourself back from who you’re meant to be or holding yourself back from what you’re meant to achieve?”
On today’s episode, Dr. Dunni looks at how to stop holding yourself back by simply asking you the next four questions:
- Can I do it?
- Have I achieved something similar before?
- Have I achieved anything at all?
- Why do I want to do it?
BEST MOMENTS
“ To get the right answers for the questions to move ahead, we need to ask the right questions.”
“ When you do something great, it’s written on water. When you do something that’s not so great, it’s carved out in stone”
“Your why gets you moving. Your why gets you to where you want to go.”
“Because it’s mythical, you don’t understand it and guess what happens? You’re afraid of it.”
THE DRAFT LETTER
Dear (Orchid),
I see you. I know you’re there. I don’t know, perhaps you’re trying to make me feel safe? You perhaps don’t want to step out into the limelight.
You were perhaps worried that I would fail. I thank you for your concern. I thank you for being so loving towards me. I know sometimes you say these things and perhaps you’re saying it so that I don’t make any mistakes.
Thank you for that, but today I would like to let you know that I want you to take a seat in the back. I’m taking control of the steering wheel and I can show you that even if we fail, even if we hit a dead end, we can always reverse. We can always retrace our steps. We can always ask for directions.
So thank you, (Orchid). Relax and enjoy and enjoy the ride.
Thank you for your support and I love you.

“Have you been faced with a challenge? Something that happened while you were moving towards your goal?”
Today Dr. Dunni talks about finding your focus on your purpose and how to keep going when the going gets tough.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As mothers, many people expect a lot from us, society expects a lot from us, but more importantly, WE expect a lot from us.
- Focus on your own ‘why’. Be persistent. Your determination will inspire others.
- Sometimes you will have to stand up to negativity from others. This negativity might have your best interests at heart, but will not share in your own purpose.
- Always be on the lookout for the people that give you the ability to power up. These may not even be your family or your friends, but their encouragement will be just as valuable.
BEST MOMENTS
“I decided that despite the fact that I had never run a marathon in my life, I had not been training in a running club, I was going to do the marathon.”
“Remember when you were a child. Have you walked before? Then why did you try to walk?”
“ The moment that you stop learning, you decline.”
“Winners never quit. Quitters never win.”

“One thing I have noticed especially amongst us as mothers is we are concerned about what people say, about what people think, about what people’s impression is of us.”
People are always ready to give you feedback, whether it is advice or criticism. Remember that you are you and think about how you deal with it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If your children are doing no harm, let them be themselves. Have the confidence to stand up for yourself and find your inner voice. Do not be crushed by the weight of the expectations and negativity of others.
- Freeing yourself from the opinion of others can be quite a journey and it can be hard to distance yourself from being a chronic people pleaser. Be yourself, everyone else is taken.
- You have to be careful of what feedback you accept. You wouldn’t accept an unwanted gift. You can always return it and there’s many ways that you can do that.
- Justifying yourself to others is a waste of your own energy and it will only reinforce the negativity you have received from gossip or criticism. Even if it comes from someone you respect, everyone can make a mistake.
BEST MOMENTS
“It would be nice if you could keep your child quiet.”
“What other people think about you is none of your business!”
“ You are sane. You are loved. You are cherished. You are amazing.”
“Control the way you express your dissatisfaction.”
“You need to detach yourself from the expectation that there are any words of value.”

If people are overstepping your boundaries, pushing you to a place you would rather not be, even to the point of feeling trapped into doing something against your will, as a mother, you have the power to push back and set your own space for yourself to thrive in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You should never have to feel guilt for someone encroaching on your own space. There is a time and a place for everything.
- Everyone will have his or her own levels of boundary setting. You need to find yours and be clear about where they are to yourself and those around you. There will always be something that’s considered a non negotiable.
- If your boundary is breached for any reason, there has to be a consequence for that breach. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Never apologise or feel guilty for somebody else overstepping your boundaries. Be respectful and be direct.
BEST MOMENTS
“Oh mummy, he’s giving you the puppy eyes…”
“There are certain things that come rain or sunshine, you’re not going to agree to.”

Are you a mum who is working a 9-5 job, having the side-hustle or a full-time business and perhaps you’re going through a lot of stress. This is something a lot of mothers face on a daily basis and no one will say, “relax, we’ll take things over, we will sort things out, we’ll give you time off work and pay you anyway”. You need to figure all these things out. These are the realities of working mothers all over the world.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Being a working mother can sometimes feel like being in a circus. You feel like you’re spinning all the plates and keeping all the balls in the air. This can take a real toll on your mental health. There is a way out of this.
- The feeling of having everything to do with no one helping can sometimes lead to anger.
- Never feel like you have to keep all the balls in the air, all the time. You need to prioritize which balls you can allow to fall.
- It may seem so simple that you wouldn't even think of it, but learn to breathe. It not only directly effects your brain in a physical way, but also in an emotional way too.
BEST MOMENTS
“Time to snap yourself out of this state and into a state of realisation, into a state of possibility and into a state of hope.”
“It’s normal for you to feel that way, but you do not have to stay that way.”
“Give yourself permission to let some of the balls fall.”
“Everybody has got 24 hours in a day. There are certain things that are more important than others. There are certain things that you get to do. I don’t say you have to do.”

“It is with your heart that you believe and are justified. And it is with your mouth that you confess your faith and be saved.”
Faith in yourself and your power to reach your goals has been shown to be a particularly powerful tool that each and every one of us needs on a consistently daily basis.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Faith is the perception of things that are not seen, things that are not known. It’s something we need on a daily basis if we are going to overcome negativity and self doubt.
- Mothers tend to be selfless and prioritise their children over themselves for the most part. Taking time out for personal reflection is essential for self-belief to become a reality.
- Instead of declaring the negative things and reinforcing them like “I’m not smart enough” or “I’m not good enough” all the time, vocalise the positives. They don’t have to be to anyone in particular, the simple act of declaring them to you will be enough.
- There are thought exercises in today’s episode that can change thoughts to manifestations. Like all exercises, these have to be repeated to have any effect.
BEST MOMENTS
“Believe with your heart and then profess your faith with your mouth. Then you are saved.”
“I’m on a mission to empower mothers. That is bigger than my fear of public speaking.”
“Think about who you want to be. Who you are. What qualities do you desire?”
“Today’s another day for you. Today’s another day to be empowered.”

“No” is a simple word, yet often it is seen as inherently negative. But, as a mother, this little simple word when used correctly can be incredibly liberating. Listen in to this episode with Dr Dunni to find out why saying no can change your daily life and learn about the power it holds.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- “Can I get back to you on that” is a very important phrase. This can stop you being buried by somebody else’s workload.
- By explaining your own workload or what tasks you have, you place the decision on whether you’ll be able to complete someone else’s work firmly with them.
- No is not only powerful, it’s a form of protection.
BEST MOMENTS
“There are many times in our lives when we are accepting things that we should not be accepting.”
“I am a recovering chronic people pleaser.”
“NO is a sentence in itself”

- Pain can sometimes be felt from seeing others experiencing it. Connecting with their pain through an empathetic response is a very positive thing.
- Do not start with a “Why?” Start with a “What can this do for me?”
- Recognising your pain and what it can do for you means you grow through the challenge.
- Reaching out for help from others is strength and not a sign of weakness.
BEST MOMENTS
“Sometimes the pain that you feel might be the pain of watching your loved ones suffer.”
“That pain becomes a means of transformation for us.”
“It’s when you feel the pain that you learn from it.”
“Move yourself a little higher up so that you’re constantly aware of when things go south”

“Today we’re talking about being alone and being lonely”
Dr. Dunni looks closely at the subtle difference between the two. As mothers, the feeling of separation can be quite distressing as well as isolating and here’s how you can be alone without feeling lonely.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The sense of loneliness is down to a personal perception and can be built up from personal experiences.
- Projecting a positive attitude doesn’t just benefit yourself and feed back into your own feeling of well being, it is also picked up by your child.
- The first day of school can be one of the most painful moments for a mother. The feeling of separation can be quite overwhelming. How you frame yourself from that moment on is transformative and empowering.
BEST MOMENTS
“You can have someone who is surrounded by lots of people and that person can feel lonely.”
“The mind is a powerful contraption.”
“After you have felt the being of greatness, you start to act great.”
“Our children see. They learn. They absorb.”

There are three main pitfalls in a to-do list that can cause you stress, harm and overwhelm. In today’s episode of the Wellbeing for Mums podcast Dr Dunni shows you how to use to-do lists to your advantage to be organised, efficient and in control. Learn how to plan in fun and be flexible, why sleep is essential to finding solutions to your problems and how you can beat burnout by making your to-do list work for you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A to-do list can be too restrictive on a mothers life and often has a habit of throwing you unexpected tasks that aren’t on your pre-planned list. A to-do list can increase stress, it’s rigid and leaves no room for flexibility and there’s no fun planned in.
-
Don’t lose hope if you feel overwhelmed, exhausted and burnout if you haven’t ticked off everything on your to-do list. You need to celebrate yourself, empower yourself and realise you can feel indomitable if you’re less stressed.
-
Your to-do list never ends, it continues to grow and expand so do not prioritise your schedule. You need to schedule your priorities and make sure you save the fun for later with built in flexibility to your to-do list.
- Write down and capture all of your thoughts, worries and concerns before you go to sleep. When you sleep your mind will reflect and find solutions to your problems.
BEST MOMENTS
“As a mother, your to-do list never ends, it continues to grow and expand”
“Brain dump everything you need before you go to sleep and capture your thoughts and worries”
“There is minimal fun in a to-do list”
“Eat the frog first.”

Once you’re able to understand how to incorporate wellbeing into your daily routine you will be able to overcome chaotic environments and create calm. Join Dr Dunni in today’s episode of Wellbeing4Mothers as she dives into beliefs, expectations and how you can control and overcome them.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
-
If you’re an anxious person you need to let go of that belief because it is our beliefs that will empower us or break us down. As mothers you need to let go of limiting beliefs that are holding us back. When you can be calm you can achieve what you so desire.
-
There are many expectations that are put on mothers. Expectations for yourself or those others put on you and the expectations you put on others. But it is the expectations you put on yourself that you have the most control over.
-
You can manage the expectations that you have for others as they stem from your own level of compassion. If you're able to show self-compassion and self-love and extend that to others you will be able to empower others and control your expectations of them.
-
You cannot affect the expectations others have on you but it’s within your power to manage the impact those expectations have on you. As long as you have a body, mind, spirit and soul, you can overcome them and improve your wellbeing.
BEST MOMENTS
“If you believe you can or believe you can't you're right.”
“Ask questions in such a way that you are challenging your belief system so that you can move from a state of overwhelm to a state of calm.”
“I used to say that I'm a perfectionist. Not anymore as perfection is a very low state that you don’t want to put yourself into”
“Everything and everyone is beautiful just the way they are.”
“Do not depend on being perfect. Do not aim for perfection.”
“Detach yourself from the expectations others have of you.”

The pressures and expectations our society puts on us can impact our body, mind, soul, and spirit. Join Dr Dunni as she explores how to overcome panic, worry and fear, how to shift your focus from low negative energy and why prayer, supplication and your spiritual connection is the key to taking back control of your life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Did you realise that when you gave birth, nobody was there to tell you what it takes to become a mother? The expectations that we and society put on ourselves in our roles as mothers, how that can impact our wellbeing and how we can ensure a healthy connection of Wellbeing is not just about the body, it’s about the mind, spirit and soul too.
- To improve our wellbeing we need to first focus on the aspects of ourselves that will move us from a state of overwhelm, a state of frustration, a state of depletion and exhaustion to a place where we are empowered as mothers.
- If you give in to panic, worry and fear you are not only awakening negative emotions with low vibration but also awakening the panic part of your mind. The part that is focused on just surviving and not thriving.
-
Prayer and supplication is in everything. This does not mean praying on your hands and knees but rather requesting, asking and listening to your spirit. In motherhood it’s important to ask for guidance, we’re not born knowing how to raise children but the communication needs to be there because life is not meant to be done alone.
-
Your spiritual wellbeing is key in everything and you need to bring that to the forefront of your focus when taking care of your mind, body and soul also.
-
With successful prayer and supplication comes calmness to the mind and you can wake up in the morning expressing gratitude, connecting with your spiritual side and feeling empowered and in control of your life.
BEST MOMENTS
“The one reason you need to take care of your soul is to avoid falling into a state of low energetic vibration”
“Always remember gratitude, being grateful is a key ingredient to living a blissful life”
“You are making an intentional stance to move forward in your life”

Why do big changes fail? Dr Dunni dives into how we can overcome the overwhelm of big changes and big decisions. Discover how to get smart goals, how to beat a lack of self-belief and why when you think that you’re failing you can reverse-engineer any situation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Why do big changes fail? Sometimes we feel overwhelmed with change but we must remember that it is a good thing. Making a positive decision is a big step forward, a courageous act in the midst of fear as mothers but it’s natural to worry about our decisions, how it will affect our children and if it is the right change to make.
- Decisions are made as a result of personal declarations but when you decide you want to make a big change you need to set smart goals. Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. If you’re committed to making a big change it is not a wish it’s a goal with a desired outcome that you want in your life.
- Big changes often fail because we set unrealistic expectations for when we will achieve them. You cannot expect to plant a seed and see it grow into a tree right away, you need to work at it, nurture it and realise that the decisions you make and the big chances you expect to take place will take time.
- A lack of self-belief is a major cause of failed goals and desires, because for something to become what it's meant to be and for you to make a big important change, you need to feel it. If you don’t believe in something it’s very likely it won’t happen.
- Breaking down big changes and lofty goals into smaller smart goals will help you see some progress and stop you from getting overwhelmed and disheartened.
- When you lose faith in yourself and believe you cannot achieve something you begin to attack your own identity as a mother and as a person.
- When you think about something that could potentially go wrong aim to reverse engineer it. Look at your overall goal and appreciate the progress, use this moment of doubt to reward yourself, do something productive, be kind to others and as a result your mind, body, soul and spirit will provide you with more energy to keep ongoing.
BEST MOMENTS
“Do not treat your marathon as a sprint. Take your marathon as a marathon and realise that sometimes you might need to walk.”
“Whatever you do, keep moving. Give yourself, the grace to take kids at your own pace.”
“When you rush through things, you get overwhelmed, you feel exhausted, mentally burnt out and it can affect your family.”
“Start tracking your progress and celebrating.”
“Our plans fail when we do not track and we do not celebrate our progress when you set a goal or a desire or resolution, it's one big thing.”

Your sense of smell is important for situational self-awareness. Join Dr Dunni as she dives into the power of smell and how you can utilise it to enhance your self-awareness and ensure the health of mind, body, soul and spirit.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Apart from being the portal, through which we breathe in and outs to provide oxygen to the different parts of our body. The nose is the means by which we perceive the sense of smell. Internally you have an olfactory bulb that transmits the senses picked up through your nervous system. This communicates with the brain and that’s where the sensation of smells are recognised.
- If you have a poor sense of smell it could be due to a vitamin B12 deficiency. Your sense of smell can be improved with a well-balanced diet including fish, meat, eggs, milk, and cheese.
- A good sense of smell is essential as you will be able to identify any situation where an infection may occur. This is particularly important for pregnant women, mothers and children. Before and after pregnancy make sure to take note of any changes in smell as it can be a key symptom in a diagnosis.
- There are certain smells that are very calming. There are certain smells that help you with your sleep. There are certain smells that help you with your energy.
BEST MOMENTS
“The nose is such a beautiful structure.”
“Your sense of smell can help you to prevent an accident.”
“Your sense of smell can be optimised by taking B12 vitamins.”
“When you buy something, give it the sniff and smell it. Medically using your sense of smell improves the way you feel.”

Do you really know yourself as a mother? In this episode of Wellbeing4Mums Dr Dunni explores increasing your awareness, why you need to recognise your own identity, the sixth sense we all possess and why mastering your energy can ensure the health of your mind, body and spirt.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We as mothers need to recognise that we have an identity. Once we start to appreciate our knowledge of our individual self, we can begin the process to understanding ourselves better. We will then know what is best for us and be able to express it so that those around us know how they can provide support.
- Self-awareness is the element of being aware of yourself. It's an awareness of your energy, feelings, face, hands and the thoughts in your mind, your emotions, your soul and the yearnings of your spirits.
- The sixth sense a mother is aware of is key to perceiving all of the other senses and is something a mother just feels; it’s an intuition. It’s difficult to describe and put into words but it is when you just know whether something is wrong or right. We’ve all had those sixth sense moments.
- That ability to perceive where energy is most felt is key because then you know when to seek help, who to turn to, what to say and how to express it. That person you'll turn to for help for will be able to support you.
BEST MOMENTS
“Practicing the sense of feeling and touch is going to help to increase your self-awareness.”
“Take a moment and think about what it is that you can see in yourself.”
“The sense of touch and feel is very important because we think about sensations, vibrations and what we can actually tangibly feel.”

We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Today Dr Dunni shares with you what makes up our bodies, our minds, our spirits and our souls. Learn what brings you purpose in life, how to connect with yourself and others around you and why controlling your energy levels is the key to a happy and fulfilled life, free of overwhelm and exhaustion.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We are spiritual beings having a human experience. The spirit inside of us is what keeps our body alive so we must recognise each aspect of body, mind, soul and spirit in order to stay connected. Why? Because when you are distracted your soul is disconnected and your soul is the heart of your emotions.
-
The mind is way beyond a physical structure and generates positive and negative thoughts. And with your mind, thoughts are generated automatically. These can be positive thoughts or negative thoughts. It’s important not to feed those negative thoughts because otherwise, they will engulf you. You need to challenge them and question them.
-
Energy is about 99% of what we have around us. But you are in control of the energy you have and the energetic frequencies your body vibrates at. We need to start becoming aware of our emotions. That's where emotional intelligence comes in and that’s where self-awareness and situational awareness helps us to navigate the situations in life.
BEST MOMENTS
“We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
“Motherhood is beautiful, but it has its challenges and we must show ourselves compassion.”
“The spiritual aspect of our being is the part that is more transcendent than all of the others. It's the one that connects us to our maker. It's the one that connects us to our purpose.”
“Fill your minds with positivity, positive affirmations, positive quotes and positive stories that will uplift you rather than the negativity that surrounds us.”
“Get rid of the dead space. Breathe out and as you do this, you're making more oxygen available to your body, organs and yourselves.”

We are living according to expectations that shackle us like chains. Join Dr Dunni as she explains how you can detach yourself from cultural and family expectations, how to combat overwhelm and exhaustion, when to let go make the conscious decision to let go and why giving yourself permission to start your own mission is where life truly begins.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There are many challenges of motherhood. Often it’s what we can do within our space to consistently enhance our wellbeing so that we are feeling well in body, mind, soul, and spirit.
- Expectations are set by people and sometimes by ourselves. Even from birth, we have expectations and some according to the family norms, traditions and values. But by the virtue of growing up and listening to the expectations of us, we end up finding ourselves.
- What are the expectations others have put on you that are holding you down? In order to enhance your wellbeing, you need to learn how to detach yourself from the expectations of others. The moment we start to detach ourselves, we are free. We are liberated and we are transformed because expectations are nothing but chains.
- The first step in detaching from expectations is to make a decision. Everything that we go through or experience is a choice. You can choose to move ahead, you can choose to forgive or you can choose to hold on and allow other to influence you.
- Your ability to give become more of who you're meant to be is tied to your ability to make conscious decisions. It is a cultural decision to detach yourself from expectations and as a mother you will break free from feeling overwhelmed, from burnout and from feeling drained.
- Let yourself be and give yourself a mission. Give yourself permission to be so that your life can begin. Too often we wait for the permission of others before we act. It’s only then that your growth begins.
BEST MOMENTS
“You are wonderfully and beautifully made. You are able to take charge of your life and your ability to grow.”
“Your children will watch you and see how you transform your life.”

Mothers can reverse holiday dysfunction. In this episode of Wellbeing 4 Mothers Dr Dunni dives into the roles of planning holidays, how to focus, learning to relinquish control and the ABC method to reverse the dysfunction. Discover how to be mindful of your sacred space, why attitude is everything and why it’s important to focus on your wellbeing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The ABC method of reversing holiday dysfunction. Attitude is everything, when you look at a particular scenario and you're not pleased with it, you have a choice to accept it, the choice is entirely yours. When you have an attitude that’s pushing against what you don't want and you're focused on that thing there is a possibility that you could be bringing up some resentment, some anger and perhaps even fear.
- Having an attitude of gratitude, being thankful in the moment, being thankful for what has been made and being thankful for what will be is such a gift that you can give to yourself.
- Being mindful of your sacred space. Every single action we take is based on the choices we make, we can make the choice to create that sacred space for ourselves. It’s important to create some time for you to just chill, It could be a physical space or emotional space. You don’t want to be vibrating in a low and negative space and by being mindful and by surrounding yourself with people who are vibrating at a higher emotional you will be in a better mindset.
- Once you feed your mind thoughts provoke emotions and those emotions become actions. They become your words and you start to see things happen in your life.
- Focus on your wellbeing, especially during the holiday season. You maybe have a task, something you need to do at the office or someone to manage. But you need to be able to manage your life by focusing on your wellbeing.
BEST MOMENTS
“When you have an attitude of gratitude, there is nothing that you cannot do.”
“There are some of us mothers who are in control. We would like to know everything from the beginning to the end. We are helicopter parents.”
“Don't set too high expectations for yourself and most importantly, don't set too high expectations for others as well.”

The Motherhood identity crisis affects every one of us but it can be something beautiful. Join Dr Dunni as she talks you through the realities of motherhood, the good, the bad and the ugly. Discover the three-step method to overcome the identity crisis and enhance your wellbeing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As mothers, we all have our own identity which has been shaped from when we were young. As we grow older, we start to establish relationships and we start to build our personalities. We know what we like, what we don’t like, we know what our values are, what our belief system is.
- When you become a mother you feel subdued, your confidence becomes hidden and you feel as though you can't do what you want to do. You have lost control, but it does not have to be that way. You can turn a motherhood identity crisis into something beautiful.
- You're not just the mum. You are awesome, you are beautiful, you are powerful and you have so many other attributes. And the journey of converting the motherhood identity crisis to a motherhood identity celebration is just a case of adopting practical tactics and strategies.
- Take time to look inward. We live in a very fast-paced world and often we lose our ability to focus, to be mindful, our attentions are always elsewhere. So it’s important to take time to reflect and look inward, focusing only on yourself. Discover your vibration, your energy levels and your spirit.
BEST MOMENTS
“Motherhood, identity crisis affects every one of us”
“Mothers can step forward and reverse the identity crisis and make it something beautiful.”
“As a mother you begin to feel overwhelmed, sometimes being frightful and in some cases being angry because now you feel trapped.”

Welcome to the Wellbeing 4 Mothers podcast with mum empowerment coach, family doctor, international speaker and best-selling author, Dr Dunni. This show brings to life, the realities of motherhood, its impact on your wellbeing and what you can do to enhance the wellbeing of your body, mind, soul and spirit.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Wellbeing 4 Mothers is aimed at helping explore the total overwhelm mothers experience. The emotional, physical, social and financial stress. W4M brings awareness to who we are as mothers and shares practical tips, strategies and tools to enhance our wellbeing of body, mind, soul, and spirit.
- There are so many things you will wish you had done as a mother and you will face guilt, blame, shame and sometimes you will be exhausted. I felt that but motherhood brings you joy and fulfilment when your child smiles at you.
- Motherhood wellbeing is about making you feel good in your body and helping you feel calm, avoiding overwhelm, stress and even more burnout.
- Every mom is a supermom. My journey on empowering mums started when I hit rock bottom, I started to question my identity, I started to feel like a failure as a mother and I started to look for answers.
BEST MOMENTS
“Motherhood is beautiful. I remember the first time I was given my baby to hold and the first time I heard her cry. I forgot all of the pain at that moment.”
“We are told we are mothers. That is the moment we realise that there's a life within us.”
“There is no manual we get for preparing ourselves for motherhood. There are so many things you will get wrong.”
