What am i up to
If you have followed me on Instagram, YouTube or read the blog for a while you know there have been some inconsistencies in how active I have been. The first thing that gets put on pause is YouTube because it is incredibly time consuming to edit a video and I have to be in a good mental space to show up on camera. The next thing to go is the blog. The last thing is IG.
I am a recovering overachiever and have experienced burnout before. So when other parts of my life get busy I have to re-prioritise, and the thing I will always put above all the other things is my family. So when I seemingly disappear from the world it is because I have other things going on that need my attention more. I try to schedule things ahead of time, but life sometimes knocks you completely off track and then you just gotta role with the punches.

I have had to postpone completing my Master’s because it took longer than expected to get ethical approval for my study and it has taken longer than expected to find people to interview for the study. But I am totally okay with this, I am not doing my Master’s for a specific goal at the moment. My idea was to do my studies so I can do the study I wanted to do during my midwifery studies already (looking at how afroswedish women experience racism during pregnancy, birth and postpartum) and it the day comes when I want to a apply for a job internationally then it is good to have a Master’s Degree.
Life is full of surprises, good and bad. I will continue focusing on the things that make me happy and fill up my cup when it comes to my company. If you want to be in the know about what I am up to follow my Instagram because that’s where the most up to date information usually is. For the next six months my focus is my Hypnobirthing courses, my breastfeeding course and hopefully doing a few presentations about racism in health care. I love the term “multipassionate” that Marie Forleo uses. I am multipassionate trying to balance all my passions.
