Oh Mother Podcast; A little bit of balance: Motherhood, Yoga and Me

I was so happy to be asked by the lovely Lucie Lanham to be ‘Oh Mother Where Art Thou’, a Barcelona based podcast for parents. I recorded it when I was almost 35 weeks pregnant with my third child and it was so great to delve into conversation around parenthood, birth, yoga and your changing identity as a mother. I also shared a lot about my own personal story too.
