We start this episode by talking about the different feelings and emotions that really impact mums. Every mum experiences frustration or overwhelm due to the nature of motherhood and the responsibilities that come with it. Sometimes you forget to communicate with your spouse about your own needs, which in the end can be hindering your mental health like if you\u2019re not getting enough sleep. You can hear Elijah in the background of this episode, which just demonstrates the juggle that mothers have to deal with every day as they\u2019re doing everyday things.

\u201cHow does your mental health feel at this moment?\u201d \u201cDreadful. I can\u2019t focus, I\u2019m worried and feeling guilty about not being able to do the task that I\u2019m doing, but I\u2019m feeling guilty about the fact that little Elijah is unsettled. It\u2019s a really overwhelming feeling and it\u2019s such a microcosm of a circumstance of what mums go through every single day.\u201d 16:37
