Mindful Mama - 'Nothing is permanent'
Episode description
'Mindful Mama' is my gift to you. Your chance to stop, reflect, breathe, or just give yourself five minutes alone. These are short episodes themed around the unique trials of parenthood (and general life in 2022). So listen in the car, in the bath, or locked in your bedroom while the kids are watching YouTube! I hope today's message makes your day a bit easier :)

The full poem I mention in the episode reads as follows:
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
