Becoming a mother is a life-changing experience, bringing with it a range of challenges and joys. As a new mum, it's natural to have questions and concerns about how to navigate this new role. As a coach, one of the most important roles is to ask powerful questions that can help new mums gain clarity and insight into their experiences. These questions can help new mums to identify their values, prioritise self-care, manage stress and overwhelm, and connect with their babies in a meaningful way. Let's explore ten powerful coaching questions that can help you navigate the challenges and joys of motherhood.
