Kim Hartwell built a business on adventure hosting international retreats and teaching yoga, movement and breathwork face to face. And then Covid happened.  Kim’s business had to pivot pretty quickly to a new online model, and then she got pregnant. A huge pivot. I really related to Kim’s feelings pre birth, the “oh god, am I going to be a person that just does mum stuff now?” feeling, the mindset that nothing really has to change once the baby arrives and the identity struggles that come when you have a baby and everything changes. Thank you to Kim for being so honest about her postnatal depression and how long it took for her to really listen to the signs her mind and body were giving her. I think we can all understand that reluctance to ask for help, that “everyone else can manage fine, so why can’t I?” feeling. This was such a beautiful conversation, that I think all mums need to hear, especially in the run up to Christmas. How can you say no, how can you protect your own energy and let go of what motherhood (and Christmas!) “should” look like. Kim kindly led us in a 20 minute meditation, a little pre-Christmas gift to remind you to take care of yourself, and prepare you for the festive season.   Resources mentioned: Conscious Connected Breathwork: https://ibfbreathwork.org/conscious-connected-breathwork/ Links: Website: www.bumptobusinessowner.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bumptobusinessowner/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolinepooley/ About Kim Hartwell and Humum Kim is a mum of one, Founder, mindfulness coach, Yoga teacher and movement coach.
