Marciel Hopkins-Lourens se “vierde trimester” loop byna ten einde, saam met die viering van hulle seuntjie Halki se eerste drie maande as deel van die gesin. In hierdie episode gesels sy met Daniëlla oor die newborn bubble wat nou agter die rug is, en die nuwe mylpale wat voorlê: vir haar baba, vir haarself as ma, én vir haar loopbaan as TV-aanbieder, model, aktrise en lewensafrigter. Marciel deel hoe sy dit regkry om ’n positiewe benadering tot ouerskap te handhaaf, hoekom gesondheid en fiksheid vir haar so ’n groot rol speel, en hoekom selfrespek en balans tussen werk en gesin ononderhandelbaar is. Ons gesels ook oor die belangrike rol van pa’s, die druk van samelewingsverwagtinge, en hoekom elke ma haar eie pad moet stap – of soos Marciel dit self stel: “Mind your own motherhood.” Marciel Hopkins-Lourens’ “fourth trimester” is drawing to a close as she and her husband celebrate the first three months of baby Halki’s life. In this episode, Marciel chats with Daniëlla about moving out of the newborn bubble and stepping into new milestones — for her son, for herself as a mother, and in her career as a TV presenter, model, actress, and life coach. She shares how she manages to keep a positive approach to motherhood, why health and fitness are so important to her, and why self-respect and balance between work and family are non-negotiable. We also dive into the role of fathers, the pressure of societal expectations, and why every mom needs to follow her own path — or as Marciel puts it: “Mind your own motherhood.” - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z
