Ebel on Raising Kids with a village & importance of health
Ebel is a mama of two, Oliver (4 year old) and Riley (1 year old). She spent 10 years of her career flying before deciding take a break. Seeing everyone around her pregnant and already parents put pressure on her but it took some time for them to conceive their first child. Wanting financial independent, she chose to start a career in healthcare inspired by what really matters to her family.
What we loved being around Ebel is the kindness of her spirit that makes you feel instantly like a friend and cared for. It was a combination between her experience at work and transformation to a mom that inspired us to have a chat with this lovely mama.
1 - Best Advice you have ever received.
It's ok to ask for help and not do everything on your own. It's ok to say "I'm tired" and "outsource" your kids to someone else for a couple of hours! (And yes, ask for help EARLY!)
2 – Has healthcare always been a priority? How has this changed since becoming a mother?
Seeing your child sick and even at best effort, you can't make them feel better is the hardest thing. Both my boys experienced bronchitis and had "staycations" at the hospital. Even though it was painful seeing them breathless on the nebuliser and struggling with the different masks fitted on, I'm thankful that what they are experiencing is temporal and of course easily treatable.Working in a healthcare industry now made me realize what is ultimately most important for my children - health and happiness. Good health is something people take for granted.
3 - Best Part about Motherhood
Their smiles. And when my child learns how to care for others. Let's enjoy their childlikeness while it last!
4 - How do you practice self-care?
As a working mum, I am able to have "me-time" while at work (have a meal without screaming kids). If I manage to knock off early, I squeeze in time for my beauty treats. Maintaining my sanity is important so as to have happy kids!
5 - When do you feel most empowered?
When I get to share my experiences with mums-to-be. And when I get to define what are the "right priorities and values" in my children's lives. Motherhood have definitely made a positive impact on the priorities in life.
