LynLoves
Sometimes we have kids and we lose ourselves. Let Mummy Talk (LMT) is a wellness podcast for women and mums, hosted by Lynn. A place to help women find their glow again and live their best lives. Through open discussions about parenthood, lifestyle, love and relationships, as well as culture and health, LMT will help you better navigate life and parenthood and remind you that happiness and self love is paramount.
We have a huge influence over our children and who they are as people. We affect the values they hold, their, choices, behaviors, and overall health. Have you ever questioned the part you play in their mental wellbeing? Like, how does your mental health impact them? And how will your chosen parenting style affect them in adulthood? We're getting into all of this on this episode
Let Mummy Talk is parenting and well-being podcast, with positive mental and physical health at it's core. We talk, parenthood, relationships, pop culture and everything in between to help you be the best version of yourself every time. This is my happy place and I hope it becomes yours too
Why do we always wait until someone's funeral to give them their flowers and say kind things? We should let our loved ones know how we feel whilst they are here. This episode is a celebration of mums and mum figures, recognising the tiresome work they do and their endless sacrifices. On this episode, I interview my mum about her motherhood journey- the highs and lows. And my children guest host and interview me. Happy Mother's Day to all the mums #letmummytalk #mothersday #happymotherday #parentingpodcast #mentalhealth

Today we're getting into the subject of happiness- something everyone aspires to have, but few recognise when they actually have it. What makes you feel happy and what do you do to balance your feelings when you're not feeling joyful? Plus, how to recognise when you have everything you once wished for in life and practice gratitude, without always wanting more or moving the goal posts. All of that, plus positive mindset principles, and the foundations of happiness.

We’re talking about money, the stuff that makes the world go round. Some call it the root of all evil, we say it’s what can give you more freedom and autonomy over your life.

There are ways to change the lens through which we view and respond to everything that is happening in our lives.

Ep 29- Continuing with the comparison theme, for this week's episode of Let Mummy Talk, we are discussing why we feel the need to compare our children to other children. Joined by my sister and fellow mum, Lana, we chat through why comparisons are actually sometimes healthy and needed and why in other cases, they can be damaging for both children and parents.

On Episode 28 of Let Mummy talk, we are talking about comparisons. Ever found yourself scrolling through social media and low key comparing elements of your life or your image to those of a complete stranger? Most of us compare ourselves, irrespective of our age and accomplishments, even though we know it is pointless and often destructive. After admitting that I have allowed comparisons to steal my joy on one too many occasions, I am unpacking the reasons why we do it, what it does to us and how we can put a stop to it. This episode will hopefully remind you of what is truly important- focusing on ourselves. Enjoy it and we hope it helps you. x Let's connect on Instagram www.instagram.com/letmummytalk and www.instagram.com/lynloves_xo or join us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LetMummyTalk/

Episode 27 is about ish we pass on to our kids… This concept of the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Think of all the times you have looked at your child and realised they are a mini stamp of you or another family member. Traits are inherited and passed from parent to child through genetics, but some things are learned. Joined by my wonderful hubby, we delve into the traits and characteristics that can be passed specifically from mother to child and those more likely to be inherited from the father. As well as a talk about rejoining the church and teaching children about religion. Enjoy x

There is a beautiful African proverb: 'It takes a village to raise a child.' Our African ancestors recognised that parenting is a shared responsibility - a communal affair - not just the concern of parents. But what happens when you don't have that village and you feel like you're drowning? After the devastating suicide of single mother, Livi Jay, we are discussing the importance of mothers' mental health, episode 26 is deep, heavy and thought provoking.

We saw a social post that said, 'Before you marry- discuss- parenting values, bills, debt, religion, goals, beliefs to instill in your children, values, family, culture, sexual expectations, financial expectations, family health, mental health, bucket list, careers, education, etc because love alone isn’t enough!' This post had us questioning everything about love. When is it not enough? When can you look past flaws, differences etc because you're in love? So we decided to discuss it. This episode features a chat with my long time, wise and outspoken friend, Sefa.

In a recent episode of Love Island, in which the contestants were tested to see how well they knew each other, a big pile of sh*t hit the fan for contestant Hugo after he revealed his dislike for ‘fake’ girls.

Joined by my hubby, Kevin, this episode is all about the top turn offs in a relationship for guys and girls in 2021. Expect the usual honest, fun and uplifting vibes.

Thirty is young- That is straight facts! But, when you hit your thirties, certain things start changing and you don't necessarily see these changes coming. From greying pubic hairs, to a much lower tolerance for alcohol, to an inability to stay awake beyond the opening credits of a movie, our thirties can provide a rather harsh reality check, quickly reminding us that we are getting on. On episode 21 of Let Mummy Talk, we discuss ageing, changes, growth and acceptance and denial. Joined by my good friend, Shaun, this one is relatable and fun. Enjoy x

After watching Youtube’s latest hit show, Blue Therapy, featuring two young black couples seeking relationship counselling from Therapist, Denise, there was a LOT to unpack. Blue Therapy basically allows us to get all up close and inna people’s business. These particular peoples are couples, Chioma and Paul and Deborah and Jamel. After hearing Deborah declare that she needs her man to buy her all the latest designer goods and treat her like a princess, instead of saving and investing his money, we just had to delve into a discussion about expectations of what you should bring to table when you meet someone. As well as all the usual shenanigans about good shows to watch on Netflix in 2021 and some good skincare recommendations.

We discuss where the problem starts and how we can improve things so both men and women are shown equal respect in society and women can feel safe.

When Looking For Love, compromise but NEVER settle| What’s the difference? Many of us have these love lists and deal breakers when it comes to finding a prospective partner, but so many do not know the true meaning of compromise. Settling for love is not what we encourage, but to compromise smaller things for the greater good is something we should all be willing to do, right? Join me this week as we delve into the differentiation between compromising and settling. What is on your list of desirables and what would you be willing to sacrifice for love?
