Welcome to part two of our chat with the wonderful Amy Gerard. In this heartfelt and candid conversation, Sigourney and Amy dive deep into the challenges and triumphs of balancing motherhood, mental health, and a creative career. Amy opens up about navigating anxiety, the pressures of social media, and the relentless juggle of modern parenting.
Amy talked us through the traumatic childhood experience of losing her home to a bushfire and how it shaped her perspective and her community rallied around her family.
We also covered the emotional impact of motherhood and how it can ignite anxiety; how to transition from a stay-at-home mum to a working mum and rediscovering your identity and parenting in the digital age and how much to share about your children.
Amy also goes deep into her relationships and and how she manages conflict and confrontation in friendships and marriage.
She shares how she has learned to prioritise and protect your energy as life gets busier and to overcome people-pleasing tendencies and setting boundaries.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that you’re not alone in your struggles, and it’s okay to prioritize yourself while navigating the chaos of life. Tune in to feel seen, inspired, and validated!
