Places for you to belong. Places where you don’t have to worry about what anyone else thinks because you know it’s safe to be yourself. It’s here that you can let go of expectations and be who you want to be again. That’s what Mother for Life and our Circles are all about.   We get the deepest connection with our babies, ourselves and others from the most acute point of vulnerability. When we let the barriers down, we become who we are supposed to be. Wouldn't it be amazing if we all had spaces where vulnerability was accepted and felt safe?   Mandy's Links:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mandymotherforlife LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mandy-rees-b7167032/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motherfor_life/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/MotherFor_Life/_created/ Website: https://www.motherforlife.co.uk/index.php
