In this episode I explore the important question : Who’s sitting around your kitchen table?

Inspired by Michelle Obama’s reflections in The Light We Carry, I explore the importance of consciously curating our closest connections. I uncover why meaningful relationships are essential for our resilience, wellbeing, and growth, especially for working mothers balancing countless responsibilities.

Join me as we look at what it means to build an inner circle that not only supports us through life’s highs and lows but also inspires us to become our best selves.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

The Power of the Kitchen Table: Discover the metaphor of the “kitchen table” and how our closest relationships can become a foundation for emotional strength and fulfilment.

Why Quality Over Quantity Matters: Learn why a few deep connections often bring more joy and resilience than a larger circle and how to nurture these meaningful relationships.

Navigating Changing Friendships: Explore how friendships evolve over time, why letting go of some connections is natural, and how to approach this with kindness and clarity.

This episode is a gentle reminder that our wellbeing and fulfilment are deeply tied to the richness of our relationships. It’s an invitation to reflect, cherish, and possibly reshape the connections at your own kitchen table.
