This week I'm joined by Michelle McMahon - Founder and CEO of Flourish Mama and someone who learned the hard way what happens when you consistently put yourself last. Michelle spent years pouring everything into her kids, her family, and her home - quietly dropping all the things that were hers along the way. She didn't notice it happening until her physical health collapsed completely. Migraines, gut issues, and barely functioning. What followed was a long road back and eventually, a business built from her own experience. Flourish Mama exists to give other mums the shortcut she didn't have, reconnecting with themselves through the small, everyday acts of self-care that make the real difference.
