“I am really happy that my kids get a healthy version of me, who is there for them when they need me,” she shares.
She continues, “I’m quite boring, I go to bed early, I sleep a lot, I like my little life as it is, but I am much more available to the people who need me – and to myself.”
When the segment was shared to Instagram, the comments were flooded with those who are far happier being ‘boring’ and how much better they are as a person for it.
One person wrote, “My kids think I’m so boring but I’m 100% fine with that! I’d hate to be giving them the version of me 20 years ago as I would have been no use to anyone.”
Another jumped in with, “Boring is fabulous. I’m much more content with an allotment and a catch up afternoon with mates so can be in bed by nine. Doing what makes you feel happy is always going to be right.”
Another podcast fan shared, “It’s just a relief not to have to say yes all the time. I like a quiet life now too – I’m there for my kids, my grandkids, my husband and most importantly, myself.”
