Musings with Me @ Butterfly Effect
A Podcast for Parents, Teens & In-Betweens covering topics around Communication, Leadership, Purpose, Well-being & Law of Attraction - Not as woo woo as you might think.
Whether it's Parenting, Health, Wealth or Happiness, it all comes back to Who we Choose to BE and How we Show Up in the world, along with the practical actions we take, to create lasting change.
With a background ranging from Primary teaching, being a parent, incorporating mindfulness, to Health & Well-being Coaching, I have gained a 'wee bit' of life experience & put into practice the skills to create change in my own world.
In this podcast I share my thoughts on the highs, the lows & the in-betweens, as well as the techniques I have learned along the way, in the hope that it inspires you to CHOOSE YOU and your family, make lasting change, and to know You are NOT Alone.
