The Confident Mother is over. She’s arrived at her final destination. It’s been an absolute blast. One of those amazing adventures that you didn’t how it was going to end. I have loved loved loved every single moment. Even the moment when one of my speakers turned up 5 minutes late … heart-stopping or what. I hope you have enjoyed it too. The pictures represent a few of my highlights – can you work out which sessions they came from?

Here are some highlights shared by some of my listeners:
- “I have been on a journey of self-awareness … on the days when I haven’t been able to listen in live, I have found a new space in my life where an hour of listening and learning has become so important to me …”
- “coconut oil is now king in my house”
- “It was great to hear how [Dame Sarah Storey] has managed to balance her baby’s needs against how society would have have expected her to.”
- “I have thoroughly enjoyed all the sessions I’ve listened to. Lots and lots of lightbulb moments …. “
- “My favourite image is the dust-smeared “I’m here and I’m doing it” idea, which has sprung to mind often in recent weeks.”
- “What an inspirational interview of such a wonderfully confident mother Sherry! I had connection problems and lost you intermittently … but the interview was so gripping, I stuck with it regardless.”
- “I really got so much from what Maxine was saying, and it was helpful to know that the terminology exists too, to describe it, it somehow made things more tangible.”
- “One of the things I’m enjoying most from this conference is the honesty of the speakers when sharing their personal stories.”
- “The interview with Toni Brodelle was just inspirational; learning that a child filled with adrenaline cannot communicate effectively, so giving them space to calm down and walking alongside your child’s development …”
- “It’s been a re-grounding opportunity for me, remembering to be more mindful, I now have a specific time in the day to practise mindfulness with my daughter”.
As you may know, I used to work in technology for a big international law firm. The big New Year, New Century celebration for me at the end of 1999 didn’t happen the same way as it did for everybody else. As Head of IT – Europe, my office was the first in the firm to arrive in the 21st century … my US colleagues and I spent New Year’s Eve in the office, testing and retesting to ensure that we didn’t have the “millenium bug” (which was a bit of a damp squib as it turned out). Anybody else remember that? I was based in the City – there are NO trains home at 4 in the morning. I think the earliest was around 7am … I remember walking over London Bridge to catch the first train home on New Year’s Day. As I walked, the bridge was LITTERED with empty champagne bottles, party poppers and streamers. Inches deep. Anybody would think there’d been a huge party the night before. Oh yes, wait there was but I wasn’t invited. That’s the memory that comes to mind as I close the door on The Confident Mother 2015.
I hope you have enjoyed it too – please share, what have been your highlights?
