My face. In a magazine. Talking tutoring. 🤩🥹

Huge thanks to @mbcmagazine for allowing me to share my thoughts on how parents should go about finding a tutor. The dos, the donts and once you’ve selected one what to do next.

If you didn’t get chance to have a read, please do and if you’re feeling extra nice… a repost, save and perhaps send to a friend. 😁😁

Thank you 💙💙

Look who got featured in a magazine! 🥹

Thank you, @mbcmagazine , for sharing my perspective with your readers and being a part of this little milestone for The Nurtured Parent.

I can already hear my son singing loudly in my head, “The journey starts today… ooo oh oh ho!” 😂❤️

And honestly, it feels just like that. A little step, a lot of gratitude, and the excitement of what’s yet to come.

Alhamdulillah. Here’s to the journey ahead!

Mama, your mental health matters too. 🤍

We're shining a light on maternal mental health. The pressure on new moms is real, and postpartum depression and anxiety are still too often left unspoken.

This World Mental Health Day, let's keep the conversation going. 🤍

This reel made me cry…

Because after I delivered Sarah, I went through Postpartum Depression and I didn’t think I was going to make it… PPD is something that’s talked about on a very surface level but no one really tells you how bad it is.

I experienced things I never experienced before. I lost complete confidence in myself as a mother, a business owner and as a functioning human. I forgot how to do the simple tasks in life like driving and cooking. I would stand in front of the milk formula aisles crying because I couldn’t comprehend how to measure how much my child needed and what kind of formula she needed. I developed severe anxiety because my breastfeeding journey was horrible; Sarah would through up the 20 min breastfeeding within 2 mins of finishing.

I used to ask God to take me away because my daughter deserved to have a happy mother. I used to plan who would take care of her when I was gone - I gave up.

I remember how I stayed for a whole week in the house and never took a shower because I didn’t realize a week had passed. This lasted for a good 3 months. Even though, my PPD was short, it was harsh and horrible.

To top it off, my partner at the time, would leave me from 7am and wouldn’t come home til 10pm because it got to his nerves to see me like this. He was horrible and unsupportive - I began to hate him. I hated that he left me alone. I hated that he didn’t care to care for me. I hated that he didn’t love his child like he should have. It was only until Sarah was 6 months old that he realized she was growing and getting better and that’s because I made him a video of him and her from when she was born until six months on Father’s Day!

So, yes, today, Sarah knows I made it. She’s almost going to be 10 years old 🤲❤️🙏🧿🪬

Alhamdullilah for everything 🤲

I was asked to write about raising financially confident children for @mbcmagazine this month. It’s a topic that clearly has real traction right now.

The money conversation with your children has already started. The question is whether you’re in it.

They’re watching what gets bought, what gets a yes, what gets a no. Drawing their own conclusions long before anyone explains anything.

The piece covers every age from under seven to young adults about to leave home, all built around the Prosperity Power 5™️.

Hey mamas,

There’s something special about this time of year in the UAE. The first hints of autumn are beginning to arrive, routines are falling back into place, and a new school season brings with it a sense of fresh beginnings.

This issue, we’re putting mental health and wellbeing firmly in focus. With World Mental Health Day on October 10, we’re looking at the emotional reality of motherhood and the journey of discovering who we are after becoming Mum. We’re also exploring how to support little ones through anxiety and the transition back to school, plus the important connection between sleep and how we feel in The Art of Better Sleep with Anna Baker.

You’ll also find plenty more to help ease into the season ahead, from school and nursery advice to family ‘things to do’ inspiration, expert insights and ideas.

As the pace of family life picks up again, I hope this issue is a gentle reminder to look after yourselves, too. While we spend so much time caring for our children, our own wellbeing matters just as much.

Warmly,
Sophie

Preparing for your baby’s future starts with having the right conversations.⁣
⁣
Abu Dhabi Biobank collaborated with @mbcmagazine to hold an informative session exclusively for expectant parents to explore important topics including cord blood banking options, breastfeeding myths, safe delivery, recovery and the first weeks with a newborn.⁣
⁣
These conversations gave parents the opportunity to ask questions, hear from experts and make more informed decisions as they prepare for their baby’s arrival. ⁣
⁣
From lively panel discussions and audience interactions to opportunities to connect and explore Abu Dhabi Biobank, the morning was filled with meaningful conversations and shared experiences. ⁣
⁣
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so engaging. ⁣

When they’re small, we can’t wait for them to grow up and when they grow up, we wish they could be small again.

It’s a mix of so many feelings as a mother. You’re happy to see them independent and growing into their own being, and at the same time, it’s saddening how much they don’t need you as they get older 🥹

All I ask for from God is to protect her in all her endeavors and decisions and to always surround her with good people in her life. Most of all, I pray that she always knows that I’m ready for her whenever she needs me.

In June, I was so grateful to be named Most Loved Mother & Baby Class Provider 💙 and I think what makes these classes loved is not only the information. It’s how people feel when they leave. Seen. Understood. Validated. More confident. And never like they have to perform. We tell them the truth. We don’t gatekeep information. We make space for questions, emotions, different choices, and real conversations about birth and parenthood. If you’ve never joined one of our classes before, come experience it for yourself 🩷 #antenatalclassesdubai #pregnancydubai
