Motherhood can shake your sense of self like nothing else. Whether you're battling imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or just feeling like you're not doing enough, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, soften, and reconnect with what confidence can truly feel like. Think steady, spacious and grounded in who you already are.
In this week’s episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr. Renee White chats with Fleur Chambers, internationally recognised mindfulness teacher, founder of The Happy Habit meditation app, and author of the new book Wholehearted Confidence. Fleur shares her wisdom on redefining confidence in a way that works for real mums in the real world.
Together, they explore mindfulness, small moments that shape us, and how to befriend your inner critic so it no longer runs the show. Fleur brings a refreshing, down-to-earth approach to feeling more at ease in your own skin.
You’ll hear about:
- What the “wholehearted posture” is and how it can shift your energy in 10 seconds
- Why perfectionism and people-pleasing aren't helping you feel confident
- How to work with (not against) your inner critic
- What Fleur calls "small comments, big impacts" and why they stick with us
- Why nature, laughter and letting go of the mess can bring you back to yourself
This is your gentle reminder that confidence doesn't have to be loud. It can be soft, steady, and rooted in self-compassion.
