“It’s easier to be courageous for your child than it is to be courageous for yourself,” shares Jacqui Doyle, the first guest of the ME+MOTHERHOOD ‘My Motherhood Story’ series of conversations with incredible Mums.
Like all mothers, Jacqui has experienced her share of ups and downs - the pure joy of the precious moments, blended with the struggle to become a parent, postnatal depression, a body forever changed since childbirth, managing her health and navigating her way through motherhood to reclaim her sense of self and trust in her body.
Jacqui’s vulnerability, honesty and generous insight in this episode gives so much; leaving you with new strategies, the knowledge that you are never alone, and that you too can get through hard things. She has a quiet strength and grit about her, melded with a beautiful softness and big heart open to learning, integrating and finding the support she needs.
This is a raw and real conversation and you will love Jacqui as much as I do.
