My mum taught me to always trust my instincts - she said it's that inner voice that will never let you down and guide you in the right direction if you pay attention to it. I've found this to be so true, especially as I navigate motherhood myself now!

I also witnessed my mum advocating tirelessly for us kids when dealing with schools, doctors etc.. growing up. Her strong example has definitely empowered me to become an advocate for my own children and not settle until you get the best care and outcome - which can sometimes be a real battle but so worth it!

Good on ya, mama! You're doing great, then!

Many of us mums do our best to give our children an extra edge in life - preparing them for the real world, which can be brutal at times! Instilling in them the confidence to trust their gut is sure to help them make their way in this tough world, and also being there to fight their battles, especially when they're young.

Yes, mums really do know how to empower their kids to become strong advocates for themselves! That's an important skill your kids will benefit from throughout life.

Instincts are like a built-in navigation system we should trust more often - an inner GPS as we negotiate life's twists and turns! They're especially helpful when you're exhausted and overwhelmed as a new mum, learning on the job.

What other nuggets of wisdom have your mums shared that have stood out and impacted you?

My mum always taught me that I should trust my instincts above all else because I am the one who will ultimately have to live with the consequences of any decisions, good or bad! It has served me well and helped me develop a thick skin for any naysayers - you kind of have to laugh at them when you're older! She taught me to let the opinions of others slide off like water on a duck's back.

Your mum sounds very wise and it seems like her advice has served you well! There's no better way than to live life guided by our instincts - and with a pinch of humour for good measure.

My mum also stressed the importance of kindness, to oneself and others. She said being kind doesn't mean letting people walk all over you, but rather, understanding each person's struggles in life and treating them with empathy. It's amazing how far a little compassion can go in enriching your relationships - something I'm witnessing firsthand as my kids navigate friendships at this crucial age!

That pinch of humour certainly makes life's challenges more manageable, doesn't it! My own mother used to say that having a laugh and not taking yourself too seriously is often the best medicine, and I've found that to be true through various parenting ups and downs.
