As the children break up for the summer, there is the hope of a bit of well-deserved downtime. 

Whether you’re lounging by the beach or enjoying your back garden, there’s nothing quite like immersing yourself in a good book or podcast to relax.

My ‘Leaning Tower of Pisa’ of books I’m waiting to read is crying out for my attention.

But depending on how busy the summer is with the children, sometimes, I get time to read……..and sometimes, I don’t.

But I do like to binge-listen to some thought-provoking podcasts. 

If you’re like me and looking for some great listening material for your summer break, you’re in luck. I’ve compiled a Summer Listening Podcast Playlist featuring some of my favourite past episodes from Wisdom For Working Mums. 

So, grab your headphones and get ready to be inspired.

1. Rushing Woman’s Syndrome

Never before have women been in such a hurry to do so many things and be there for so many people. In this episode, my guest is Dr Libby Weaver (PhD) who explains how a stressful, fast-paced lifestyle can harm all areas of our health as women.  And how we can empower ourselves with practical solutions to restore our health so we can stay productive, healthy and happy. If you’re feeling the stress of doing a million different things and wearing a million different hats, tune in and take notes!  I think Dr Libby is about to blow your mind!
