Welcome to the motherkind podcast, which is going to help you feel more confident and less alone in the wild roller coaster that is modern motherhood. My guest this week is Georgie Crawford. Georgie was just at the end of her maternity leave when she first discovered a lump in her breast and what followed was a roller coaster journey of self-discovery. Georgie says that for the first time in her life, she learned how to value herself and her needs. Thankfully she fully recovered and is now about to become a mother again post-cancer, this time with a surrogate. Listen to learn: The mindset shift that helped Georgie finally learn to accept and ask for help How her garden trees made her realise she was wrong about herself  How to ask yourself 'Am I on the dancefloor or the balcony' of life  How to finally stop beating yourself up and notice all that is good in your life  I really loved this episode and loved chatting to Georgie, she gave me SO much perspective and plugged me right back into what is really important in life.
