How to build a business around your kids without screwing them up with Dr Maryhan

Do you ever suffer from Mum guilt? Or from comparing yourself to other mothers and feel like you ‘should’ be doing something differently? Do you worry that your work is negatively affecting your children? Or that not working is negatively affecting them? 

In today’s interview I’m talking to the brilliant Dr Maryhan, an experienced psychologist and parenting expert, as well as a mother of two. For over 15 years she has been supporting children, teens, and young adults struggling with low confidence and anxiety – as well as their parents and care givers. Dr Maryhan’s podcast is in the top 5 for Parenting in the UK – she’s on a mission to make as much of a difference to as many children’s lives as she can. 

In our chat Dr Maryhan shares her unique perspective on what screws up our kids, the approach she’s taken to building a successful business around her children (and her top tips for doing it), why self-care is child-care, how we should scrap mum guilt (and what we should replace it with) and her top tips for growing your business, whilst being a present mum to well-balanced, happy children.
