Season 3, Episode 4

[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_PLUS] What is often the difference between feeling good and exhausted? Or between being joyful or irritated? For me I often find it’s a difference in perspective. Maybe this sounds trite or oversimplified. Maybe. But maybe learning the tools to shift one’s experience is exactly what’s needed. Welcome to the #mumboss podcast a show dedicated to enhancing your super mama powers. I’m your host Rachel Maskell and today’s guest is Veena Sidhu who shares with us how she’s harnessed her superpowers after only 6 months of mamahood!
