Recently my 5 year old son who is learning the alphabet had to think of two words beginning with the letter V, his response was the names of the two Strategic Partnerships I manage in work. When I did share this news with my colleagues some laughed and celebrated this. To me it was the opposite what sort of mother had I become and I felt heartbroken. Cue the mom guilt, this has been a huge wake up call for me to be conscious and present with him. I use the Thrive Global Platform for micro steps and behaviour change. Setting goals for myself that are so small they cannot fail. This is a global problem we all need to get behind this initiative and help each other. The best thing we can give ourselves and our children is our time.
