Leanne said:
“Having the bandwidth to do something for yourself is a crucial part of wellbeing. Otherwise, we can just feel those convergent pressures of work and home, squeezing us and squeezing us until we’re on a hamster wheel of work-kids-chores-work-kids-chores or whatever it might be.”
“If we feel that we are not being listened to, if we feel that we don’t make any sort of contribution, we’re not valued, it’s crucial that we have that feeling in order to feel happy and have a sense of wellbeing.”
