The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Welcome to this week’s episode of "Take The Mic".This week is Eliane Polek, who created her first blog, ‘The Insane Mama,’ during the first COVID lockdown, driven by her own experiences and struggles with motherhood.She share's with us:How Eliane's journey through motherhood and feelings of maternal anger and rage inspired her blog and her work with mothers.The impact of learning about matrescence on Eliane's life.The importance of finding balance amidst the chaos of motherhood.How embodiment and mental healing tools can support mothers.Eliane's project, ‘Insane Mama Moments,’ and its mission to share anonymous stories of shame, secrets, and guilt from mothers.I hope you find this useful, and if you do, please share it widely so mothers everywhere can access the support and information they need to thrive.ABOUT ELIANE:Eliane created her first blog, then called ‘The Insane Mama,’ in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown. The name came to her easily, because she felt quite ‘insane’ then, and still does quite regularly. Or at least, tipped very out of balance most days.Since first becoming a mother almost 11 years ago, questions like, ‘Am I going crazy?’, ‘Is this how motherhood is meant to be?’, ‘Is it just me, am I broken somehow?’ were a constant. Combined with feelings of maternal anger and rage, overwhelm, shame, guilt, loss, and quite a lot of grief, these questions and emotions made up an enormous amount of her self-talk and were a big part of her motherhood experience.Learning about matrescence and becoming a Mama Rising Facilitator has been an eye-opening experience for her and one that set her on the path of finding out more, of constant learning about the various conflicting emotions most mothers encounter in motherhood.There is a dance in there, a way to live with both sides, and dance in between them. She tries, most days, to do this with as much grace as she can muster. Knowing and trusting that the darker side is there for a reason, but you do not need to get stuck in it; you can always come back to the light.Originally from Germany, she lives in Dublin, Ireland, with her two sons, her husband, and a sneaky black cat. She loves tea, foxes, the mountains and their smell, water, ancient Irish wells, and the sea.She has set up ‘The Sane Mama’ in Dublin, where she offers in-person workshops for mamas who feel stuck in survival mode, depleted, or burnt out, especially years after having had their first child.Eliane has also started a project very close to her heart called ‘Insane Mama Moments,’ where she is collecting anonymous stories of shame, secrets, and guilt from mamas of all walks of life, to culminate in an exhibition in the future.If you are interested in participating in Eliane’s ‘Insane Mama Moments’ project, please email her at [email protected]: The Sane MamaInstagram: @the_sanemamaFacebook: The Sane MamaLinkedIn: The Sane Mama Hosted on Acast.

Welcome Mama's and perhaps some Fathers, to this week’s episode of the Happy Mama Movement podcast.This week’s guest is Jeremy Macvean who co-founded, 'The Father Hood' which aims to build tribes of healthier, happier men through his work with Movember.This week we discuss: The unacceptable pay gap between men and women, and exponentially as the ages increase and women hit motherhood.Non-birthing partners learning to pay REAL attention to their birthing partners to really know what is going on with the running of the household and to be more than just an assistant.The deeper meaning of "Being a Provider" beyond simply being the breadwinner, and how it can change the dynamics of relationships and family life.Redefining our role and function in the family and finally getting past gender bias in this modern age.How Jeremy was made to see the reality of his situation through divorce and how getting 50% custody of his kids made him understand and appreciate the weight of motherhood and parenthood and how men especially need to establish greater communication in their relationships to properly steer the family vessel.I hope you find this conversation useful and if you do, please share it widely so motherseverywhere can access the support and information they need to thrive.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------JEREMY MACVEAN'S BIO: Jeremy Macvean breathed a sigh of relief when the teacher of his male-only antenatal class advised “To be a good dad, turn up and try”. So that’s what Jeremy has been doing ever since. Turning up to invest time and emotional energy into his three children in every way he can. Turning up to support and inspire modern dads through the organisation he co-founded, The Father Hood. Turning up to build tribes of healthier, happier men through his work with Movember. And through his advisory business, Radiate, turning up to share his strategy and communications experience with the likes of Peter Mac Cancer Centre, The Women’s Hospital and Telstra Health. Of every role Jeremy has ever played, fatherhood brings him by far the most joy, and is also by far the most challenging.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------RELATED RESOURCES:https://www.the-father-hood.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Where did we get this idea that six weeks after birth, a woman is completely healed and ready to re-enter the world?Why do we rush this process, simply checking in how her body is feeling, and even suggesting she is now ready for sex again?Imagine what would happen if we looked at a mother's becoming as something way beyond the first six weeks, and nourished her with a true acknowledgement of what she has been through and the process of healing and matrescence?This is what Rachel wanted to share with us all when she took the mic this week.Rachel Bettinzoli is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Wellness coach and Mama Rising Facilitator, specialising in women's health and matrescence, and mama to four beautiful children (ages 9, 7, 3 and 1).She supports women through the cycles of motherhood with gentle and intuitive movement and simple strategies that support our whole-self, body, mind and soul.

What would our world be like if we had matrescence-informed public policy? What would those policies even look like? And what impact would they have on our experience of becoming a mother - and the wider experience of parenthood?In this week's episode, mama of 2 Sarah Cleggett share's her own personal experience of becoming a mother, and how that has led her to not only establishing a Social Enterprise-based Mother's Community Group 'Middle Ground Motherhood', but recently completing her Masters on Matrescence-based public policy.Sarah's research highlights how patriarchal and neoliberal motherhood concepts in Australia underestimate the profound changes of motherhood, meaning "mothers are left without the structural support they require to thrive." Sarah was also a part of a national study on parents working conditions, pregnancy leave and return to work, which you can read here.Ultimately, this episode highlights how one mother's experience can spark a commitment to making a difference in the world, and impact an understanding of Matrescence and mother-led support policies would flow on to the rest of society - and the world.You can see Sarah's Social Enterprise work at Middle Ground Motherhood here, and read and subscribe to her Substack here.SARAH IS ONE OF OUR GUEST EXPERTS AT OUR NEXT 'WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW' SERIES.You can join our panel discussion and online workshop on 8th May here.

No matter what you believe BEFORE you go into motherhood, there is always a moment when you realise: this isn't what I thought it would be. Maybe it comes immediately - birth was nothing like you thought, the first days were completely different. Or maybe it comes years later, when you think your life - and that of your children or your relationship - is on a certain path, and you realise: that's not my reality anymore. In that moment, there is an invitation mama: Will I open to a new way of thinking, and grieve the old way? And will I be the one who creates this change? Abby Kamen is an artist, activator, and the author of Generation WE: Healing Together to Create Better, a truly thought provoking book that looks at generational trauma and the cyclical effects of survivalism. This podcast brought up how we deal with our own trauma, How our kids push us to do better and upgrade our thinking, And ultimately, how WE are the ones to do this work. One of my fav conversations this year. Listen, and let Abby and I both know what you got out of it. x--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ABBY HERE:https://www.abbykamen.com/https://www.instagram.com/abbykamen/?hl=enAbby Kamen is an artist, activator, and the author of Generation WE: Healing Together to Create Better.

In this episode Amy takes a moment to reflect on ten years of coaching mothers, and both her personal journey to get to this point, and how she sees the focus on mothers changing.Just a few short months after becoming a mother 16 years ago, Amy started writing and researching the question: what happens to us? Why does it feel this way? How can we do it better?And since then, she's listened to thousands of hours of coaching and interviews, with both experts and mamas around the world.But, as she shares in this episode, she's also had to find her own confidence and voice.How can you talk about motherhood when no-one really respects it as a professional focus?How can you stand up and speak out when you don't think you have the answers?How do you keep going when you're dealing with your own inner turmoil?And, most important of all, are we making any difference?The answer? yes. In small and big ways. And we can't stop now!May this episode be both an inspiration and a reminder that we are all in this together -imperfect but activated and committed to changing the support and understanding of mothers.  Hosted on Acast.

Throughout a woman's life, she experiences so many metaphorsis and change - and until very recently, most of these have been hidden and unspoken. Like matrescence - and menopause. Why is that? Why is it that we, as a society, have kept so many of these huge transformations hidden? And what does that do to a woman as she experiences it? And imagine if you were experiencing not one, but TWO of them at the same time? That's what today's podcast episode is all about. CiCi shares her story of finding her passion for women’s wellness following the birth of her first child; when the intensity of becoming a mother left her struggling to find herself within it all. By the time she had her second child in her early 40s, she was navigating postpartum alongside perimenopause.  It was then that her passion for finding balance, led her to qualify as a yoga teacher, earning specialisations in Restorative and Menopause Yoga. As she pursued her own healing, she qualified as a Health Coach from The College of Naturopathic Medicine and became an ICF accredited Mama Rising Facilitator, specialising in matrescence. As The M Coach, she now helps women transform their journey through motherhood and peri/menopause by guiding them into becoming the expert over their own journey and hormones. She is passionate about helping women find the evolution that exists within the menopause transition but also ensuring women feel knowledgeable about what happens to their body hormonally throughout their life. Through her honest & compassionate approach she provides a safe space to explore these difficult transitions throughout a woman’s life. ⁠In the journey of motherhood, we often find ourselves carrying heavy burdens—the weight of our own struggles, the hopes and fears of our children, and the responsibilities we bear. Let alone the societal expectations and the overwhelming stress of being in the world at large. Imagine setting down the burden of these backpacks full to brimming with all these concerns and responsibilities we've been carrying for so long, taking a moment to breathe, and sorting through each item with intention. What's essential? What's worth carrying forward? What's better left behind?It's a powerful metaphor for embracing motherhood with a lighter heart and a brighter outlook. We don't have to carry every burden alone. It's okay to let go of what no longer serves us, to travel light, and to embrace the beauty of the road ahead.SPECIAL OFFER: Cici is offering a 20% discount off her 90-minute MOT when they use the code HAPPYMAMA. These sessions begin identifying what may be causing issues in your hormonal journey and how they can begin to feel better.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS WEEKS PODCAST GUEST CICI GOKTAS HERE:Website: www.themcoach.co⁠⁠Instagram: @the.m.coach------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Hosted on Acast.

In today's Take the Mic episode, we hand our mic over to Elena.Elena bravely shares her experience of matrescence, and her vision now for her work - and in particular, her desire to create a space for the mothers in her community and in her country to be vulnerable about their own experience, free from judgement.But as she asks so beautifully in this episode... how can you create that for others when you don't even have the words for it yourself yet?How can you support other women's experience of anger, maternal rage, overwhelm and inner doubt, when you are still unsure where it has come from yourself?And so, like so many of these phenomenal women, she started with herself.Elena Sánchez Martín is a dance and movement therapist, Mama Rising Facilitator, and founder of Mamasenda, an emerging mother support project based in Northern Germany. Through her body-oriented therapy, coaching, and workshops, Elena helps mothers find their path to a fulfilling and self-determined everyday life. With her work, she aims to contribute to the cultural and social change needed for mothers to be seen, valued, and supported as she believes they deserve: with respect and without the pressure of unattainable ideals. Elena lives in Bremen with her 3-year-old daughter and her husband. She loves dance, small improvised daily rituals, and the changing seasons that remind her that life has its ups and downs but light always follows darkness. Elena is driven by a strong will to create a more peaceful world for our children and future generations.If you want to know more about Elena and Mamasenda, please visit her website, follow her on Instagram and feel free to get in touch!

We've spoken with a number of relationship and sex experts over the years on this podcast - and there's a reason for that. Babies can change so much. For both partners. How do we connect after so much has changed? How do we even know what we want anymore when our bodies feel so different and the time and space we had for our partner has evaporated? The truth is, intimacy and sexual connection can - and often does - take a back seat for the early years. But when you finally do have the space, time and energy to start exploring this important part of yourself again - where do you start? That's what this interview with Daniela Stevens is all about. Daniela Stevens (she/they) is a queer bi+ trauma- and attachment theory-informed certified Sex and Intimacy Coach for couples and individuals of all bodies and all expressions. Named one of the ten best Sex & Intimacy Coaches of 2023, she supports people to experience deep sexual connection and intimacy with themselves and their partner(s) by co-creating a Sex Practice to ripen into the best sex of their lives. By naming and addressing the intersections of personal experience with multiple systems of oppression, she supports them to clarify, connect, communicate, heal, and co-create the sex they want and the intimacy they desire. For her, nothing is more important than connection.And as she shares with Amy in this intimate and inspiring interview, that is something we can all start exploring for ourselves right now too. ⁠FULL AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATION HERE: https://youtu.be/H_xKvO2vjSM⁠---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUT MORE ABOUT DANIELA:https://www.danielastevens.com/Instagram-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The beautiful - and confronting - thing about matrescence is it often leads us deep into our own familial story, and how we were mothered.Sometimes, without even knowing it, it can be the portal into looking at our mothers, and our mothers' mother's experience of being a woman and a mother...which, without the proper support and understanding, can feel very overwhelming.But what if we were to see this has a chance to heal our red thread?What if the gift of matrescence included the gift of generational understanding?This is what Ngombo Chansa speaks about in this week's podcast.Ngombo is a mother of two and a professionally trained Postpartum Doula and Zambia's first Mama Rising Coach and facilitator. And in this divine interview - which she recorded back in London as she supported her sister's birth of her first child - she reflects on the process of healing her own family story, and taking that wisdom and commitment back to Zambia to support others.VIEW FULL VIDEO PRESENTATION ON YOUTUBE HERE.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUT MORE ABOUT NGOMBO RIGHT HERE:FacebookLinkedInNgombo provides guidance and support for Mothers as they navigate the complexities of Motherhood. Her passion and devotion for this work stems from witnessing the profound transformative effect that occurs in a woman’s life when she connects with her inherent strength and chooses to experience Motherhood in a way that resonates with who she truly is.As a mother of two and a professionally trained Postpartum Doula and Zambia's first Mama Rising Coach and facilitator, she brings a unique blend of personal and professional experience to her practice.Her journey into this work was sparked by her own personal struggle with postnatal depletion, postpartum depression and anxiety following the birth of her youngest child six years ago. She has experienced first hand how the right tools, understanding and care can transform Motherhood from a daunting and overwhelming experience into an expansive evolutionary journey filled with joy.To Ngombo, mothering in alignment with her values means choosing to romanticize her life, treating herself with kindness and sitting in the driving seat of her existence. Having an adventurous life is really important to her which is why two years ago, she heeded the call of her intuition and returned to her roots in Zambia after living as a daughter of the diaspora in England for 30 out of her 36 years. She has since settled in the lively capital city of Lusaka with her husband and 2 children, where as a family they are thriving in an environment that feels like home.FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MATRESCENCE VISIT MY WEBSITE:https://amytaylorkabbaz.com/ Hosted on Acast.

What if we were to view the experience of Matrescence as a spiritual assignment?How would we feel if we knew that all we are going through is actually here to help us grow?Would that make this wild ride any different?Over the years, I have interviewed many different authors and experts about matrescence and motherhood - but rarely have I been so inspired to view this experience as a deeply spiritual one as when I spoke with Kelly Van Zandt.Kelly is the author behind "Powerful Postpartum: Unveiling the Spiritual Depths of Motherhood", bringing together her own spiritual studies with training in Vedic Counselling and postpartum studies. She is also a graduate candidate in Marriage and Family Therapy, which allows her to explore the tender topic of family dynamics and emotional well-being in a beautiful approachable way.And in her own graceful way, somehow inspired me to consider this gift of motherhood in a new way.I know it will do the same for you.Kelly will be releasing her next book, "Your Baby Your Guru," in late 2024, in which she will uncover the sacred connections between mothers and their little ones, and exactly what they are here to teach us.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUT MORE ABOUT KELLY HERE:ORDER KELLYS BOOK: Powerful Postpartum, Exploring the Spiritual Significance of Motherhood HERE: www.powerfulpostpartum.com Hosted on Acast.

Imagine if we could translate the word Matrescence into all the different languages, ensuring that this powerful new understanding of the rite of passage of motherhood is deeply understood by each and every women? Imagine if it was not only translated, but also shared through local cultures and traditions, bringing back a connection between mothers, women and the cycles of life? Just imagine! Today's special "Take The Mic" episode - where we hand my microphone (and platform) over to one of our amazing Mama Rising Coaches - is all about that vision, and more! Carolina Saldarriaga is a certified fertility awareness educator, Mama Rising Facilitator, and the visionary behind 'Tus Reglas'. Even as a pioneer in the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), nothing could fully prepare Carolina for the emotional and practical hurdles of motherhood - that is, until she found out about Matrescence.In this beautiful biographical episode, Carolina passionately advocates for introducing "matrescence" in Spanish, envisioning a future where this transformative concept becomes a societal norm. She is deeply passionate to share this insight in her own language for all women, from navigating pregnancy and postpartum, to fertility challenges, and empower women in her part of the world to understand their own bodies and cycles through the lens of Matrescence.--------------------------------------------------------------CONNECT WITH CAROLINA HERE:INSTAGRAM: @sontusreglasWEBSITE: www.tusreglas.com Hosted on Acast.

Matrescence and the experience of becoming a mother changes us in the most profound ways - and often in the way we most need. Take our guest Sara Pantry's story as an example: A hugely successful woman by anyone's measure, having turned her ambition into action over and over again, leading to her position at LinkedIn as Senior Workplace Leader, specialising in creating exceptional employee experiences and fostering engaging workplaces. Including ensuring women are supported after returning from maternity leave. But two years ago, Sara welcomed her two year old son into this world - and so began the biggest inner shift she has ever faced. What she used to see as her strengths and very foundation of success was shaken up. And who she wanted to be - and what she wanted to do - changed for ever. Sara shares her insights into redefining strength and success, and the work she is now doing within LinkedIn, and as the driving force behind She Thrives—a sanctuary for modern working mothers—and From Me To We, a movement dedicated to uplifting and acknowledging working mothers. Sara’s created a supportive space where we can all share our stories, draw inspiration from role models, and offer wisdom through letters to our pre-mama selves. And if you want to join Sara and her growing community, and share your journey, simply email [email protected] to express your interest, and you'll receive all the details and next steps to participate. Connect with Sara on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/sara-pantry) and Instagram (@she_thrives_tribe) to stay updated on the stories being shared and further updates!

Welcome back, Mamas."I love my children deeply and ferociously. I would choose them again. I was born to be their mother. And still, it is hard. And fraught with the pains of being human, of living in a world with physical and energetic limitations." This was the start of the social media post by the phenomenal Leonie Dawson that spurred this interview... and sparked one of the most honest and moving conversations about motherhood, forgiveness, and acceptance. As an entrepreneur, Leonie has generated $14 million in revenue - working just 10 hours a week. Her books have sold around the globe, and she is beacon of honesty in a world that often tries to sell us a perfect picture of success. But Leonie is also a mama who deeply struggled with the early years of motherhood, and through her own deep healing of her family line, and the diagnosis of both Auticism and ADHD, has finally been able to accept herself as a mother - in all the spiky ugly bits.

It can take years to process what we went through in pregnancy and early motherhood. ⁠⁠Especially if we didn't understand it at the time, or had a safe space to share. ⁠⁠As Rachael Rose shares this week, it's been seven years since she was incredibly ill with hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnancy... ⁠⁠and she's still trying to process it. ⁠⁠But seven years on, it's also why she now does the work that she does - creating Women's Circles and training others to do the same. ⁠Rachael is a doula, trained facilitator, Women's Circle leader and creator of 'Together: Women's Circle Facilitator Training Program'. ⁠Because as she shares: we need these spaces to heal.

Welcome to another episode of "The Happy Mama Movement Podcast."⁠As human beings, we seem to approach motherhood in a very unique (and strange) way. If you look around at other species, and at nature itself, you see an acceptance of the cycles of death and destruction, and the raw and messy beauty of new life. It’s bloody and it’s messy. There’s rage and there’s pain. And the systems and ecosystems around the process know that - and honour it. That’s what Lucy Jones discovered when she began to explore how metamorphosis of motherhood, both in her own experience and in science and nature. And what she found was FASCINATING. Listen to my chat with Lucy about her new book: ‘Matrescence: on the metamorphosis of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood’ in this week’s podcast… ⁠WATCH THE FULL AUDIO-VISUAL PRESENTATION HERE: https://youtu.be/Wk_xtDQ9LQ8-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUT MORE ABOUT LUCY RIGHT HERE:https://lucyfjones.com/https://www.instagram.com/lucyfjones/https://www.facebook.com/lucyjonesbooks/AND GRAB LUCYS FANTASTIC BOOK HERE: https://lucyfjones.com/books/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/ Hosted on Acast.

Our world tells us we need to be productive, no matter what. From a very young age, we are taught to ignore our bodies and what they are trying to tell us, and keep on going. Learning how to UNDO that habit is one of the greatest challenges of motherhood and womanhood! In this episode, Amy shares her recent experience of retreating to heal - and how uncomfortable that has been at times. 'Am I letting everyone down?''What if everything falls apart if I pull back?' 'What will people think of me?' But in the end, it was the advice of her father many years ago that reminded her: there's no shame in retreating when you need it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND THIS EPISODE IN ALL ITS VISUAL GLORY RIGHT HERE: https://youtu.be/Vcl1yUtoiig------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within these conversations, we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, beautiful souls, to another enlightening episode of "The Happy Mama Movement Podcast." Today we're going to dive into a topic that's close to my heart and, I'm sure, to the hearts of many of our listeners.You see,we have this incredible ability to see time through a different lens. We're masterful at prioritizing, and we've come to understand that quality often trumps quantity. We've embraced the art of flexibility, learned the fine balance of setting boundaries, and are wizards at time management.But here's the real magic - these skills, these treasures we've unearthed on our motherhood journey, they're not just for our role as moms. They're invaluable in our careers and businesses too. In fact, I'd venture to say that being a mother makes us extraordinary in the professional world.So, in today's conversation, we're going to explore how we, as mothers, value time differently and how that unique perspective enriches our professional lives. We'll talk about setting meaningful goals, leveraging support networks, and, most importantly, nurturing that self-compassion we've honed through the beautiful messiness of motherhood.And I can't wait to share it all with you. So, settle into your favorite spot, whether it's with a warm cup of tea or during a quiet moment in your day, and let's embark on this journey together.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUT MORE ABOUT LINDA HERE:https://lindaonthego.com/https://www.facebook.com/lindaonthegohttps://www.instagram.com/lindaonthego1/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within these conversations, we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Timestamps][00:00] - Acknowledgements[00:40] - How to Value Our Time Differently[02:29] - Rachels Question[04:19] - Can't Bend Anymore[07:40] - Compassion Fatigue [11:23] - You're the Doctor[14:26] - Whatever Feels Right...[21:10] - Accountability[23:20] - Final Reflection[26:02] - Outro Hosted on Acast.

Our bodies are the source and creator of motherhood.They are the vessel for the gifts of our children.But what happens when our body doesn't follow the 'plan' of pregnancy and birth?What happens when you feel your body let you down, or is now changed forever?Dr Rebecca Ray is one of the most beautiful and insightful writers on instagram at the moment - and is known for her radical self-acceptance work.But in this interview on her journey into and through motherhood, she opens up like never before - sharing her struggles with her body during fertility treatment, then pregnancy and then post-birth.And in the process, breaks down the expectation that we should 'love' our bodies, and instead invites us to radically reimagine our relationship with the body that made us mothers.For the complete list of instagram accounts Dr Ray suggests to follow for body confidence and acceptance, go to the podcast notes at amytaylorkabbaz.com-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUT MORE ABOUT DR REBECCA RAY RIGHT HERE:https://rebeccaray.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/drrebeccaray/https://www.facebook.com/drrebeccaray/https://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fdrrebeccaray%2FGET HOLD OF HER INCREDIBLE BOOKS HERE: https://rebeccaray.com.au/books/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within these conversations, we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------TIME STAMPS][00:00] - Acknowledgements[00:40] - Intro[02:00] - Radical Body Acceptance[02:49] - I found out we were Pregnant[04:44] - The Process of Gratitude[06:20] - Identity Shift[07:46] - Entry Points[08:45] - Radical Self-Compassion[10:47] - Negative Self-Talk[11:41] - Doing the Work[13:44] - Outro Hosted on Acast.

In our current world, we have been undervaluing what it means to be a woman and a mother. But in many ancient traditions and teachings, the mother is celebrated and revered for her power to create and sustain life. In my search for a better understanding of who I was becoming, and why I struggled so much to value this current season of my life, Kundalini yoga has been one of those ancient teachings that has guided me to a new understanding. Alexandra Di Cecco has been a Kundalini yoga teacher since before she was a mama. She has been teaching and guiding women through pregnancy, birth and beyond for nearly 15 years, and her dedication to inspiring women to live a more conscious and grace-filled life is truly contagious. Just listen to the way she talks about what it means to be a mother - it will change how you feel forever. In this episode, I spoke to Alexandra about the Kundalini teachings, but also about how we can live with less anger and more grace, how we can switch off the 'superwoman addiction', and what conscious parenting really is.

Hey there Mamas.We all know that we need to change those constant negative thoughts in our heads, - but how do you do it exactly? Here is another episode from the past, with Mummy Mind Detox founder Erin Reghenzani talking about training your brain to detox those old thought patterns and tune into the bliss of mamahood. This is just a taste our fabulous conversation from way back in 2017, but the full episode can be found HERE: https://programs.amytaylorkabbaz.com/blog/ep-17-detoxing-your-negative-thoughts-with-erin-reghenzani[TIMESTAMPS][00:00] - Acknowledgements[00:40] - Intro[02:00] - Detoxing your Negative Thoughts[02:43] - Pressuring yourself[04:00] - Connect to positivity [05:25] - Limiting Beleifs [06:23] - Aware of Sabotage[07:49] - Triggers[09:49] - Stop the Spiral[10:44] - Time Flys[11:34] - Outro Hosted on Acast.

This is an exciting time. We’re having conversations about what it means to be a woman, a mother, an equal, all over the world. New barriers are being broken. It’s revolutionary.But as we change the conversation around motherhood, I am often asked ‘What about the dads?’ And my answer is usually - yes, there are big changes for men when they become Dads, but that’s not my passion. Someone else can pick that up and run with it. And I hope they do.Well, mamas… I’ve found him.Damian Waters, or Muddy as he is known to almost everyone, is the man behind The Wingman Collective.And as I began to read his insights into being a wingman to his amazing wife, I saw something that is very very rare - but very very exciting.Here was a man who recognized the ‘old system’ that he had been brought up in. And here was a man who was willing to work on himself and those old beliefs, and make some significant changes in order to let his wife rise too.This interview is profound.Damian was nervous - this was his first-ever podcast - but I think that makes it even more important. It’s not a polished self-development dude just sharing another anecdote from the stage.This is a Dad, in the trenches with his kids and his career, seeing that his wife was very lost and needing to find something for herself again.He saw her struggles and realized he had a part to play in it.And so he looked within and found that it was time for him to let her shine.I hope you love this episode as much as I do.Both Damian and I hope that you can share it with your partners, and start a new conversation about how you support each other.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH THE FULL EPISODE ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL, RIGHT HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsPq53ZFFWI-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within these conversations, we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Time Stamps]0:00 - Acknowledgements0:40 - Intro2:05 - Honoring Your Woman's Turn3:06 - Role Assumptions4:43 - Nothing else to give5:18 - An Inner Entrepreneur7:07 - Redefine Identity8:14 - My Subconscious Want9:01 - Unconscious Programming10:20 - Electrifying11:21 - An Epiphany12:14 - Discuss Desires13:05 - Outro Hosted on Acast.

Hello there my beautiful friends.It starts small - an affirmation card, a podcast, a meditation in a yoga class. Sometimes, it can be a green smoothie and a commitment to move your body. It doesn't really matter what the entry point is - because once you're on your way, you're on your way. There's no turning back.That's the process of self-discovery.Motherhood can be such a catalyst for this: a chance to look at yourself in a new light. You want to get healthy for your kids, or you want to stop yelling and do it differently than your own mother did. And so begins a beautiful relationship with yourself.Sophie Melville is another Happy Mama who has fallen in love with this process. Starting with her first child, she began to question what she loved, what she wanted to do, and who she wanted to be. And since then (and two more babies later), she marvels at where she is.As an artist, Sophie has found her creativity and outlet, but through self-discovery, meditation and commitment to herself, she has found a new meaning of life.May this podcast bring you the same inspiration and aha moments.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AUDIO ONLY HERE: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/ep-82-falling-in-love-with-self-discovery-with-sophie-melville/CATCH THE VIDEO VERSION RIGHT HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-rYULFLsRI-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SOPHIE HERE:https://www.sophiemelville.com/https://www.facebook.com/sophiemelvilleartisthttps://www.instagram.com/sophiemelville_artist/https://vimeo.com/sophiemelville-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within these conversations, we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[TIME STAMPS]0:00 - Acknowledgements0:40 - Intro2:00 - Falling in Love with Self-Discovery3:02 - Before Motherhood4:57 - No Outlet for Creativity5:54 - It's Scary6:19 - Sit With It8:00 - 4:30AM Overwhelm8:57 - The Way Things Are10:18 - Evidence 11:05 - The Parent I want to Be11:37 - You Drew them to You13:02 - Outro Hosted on Acast.

Greetings, beautiful mamas. Something we all seem to forget is that as Mamas, we are leaders. You set the tone of your family, you lead them through challenges, you hold the vision of who they can be. That is a true leader. But in our current culture of Super-Women and Perfectionism, we often think leadership is an 'outside' thing - something we have to build outside of ourselves, a strength we have to find to keep on going no matter what. Omara Evertz is a coach, author and mama. In this episode, she shares what REAL feminine motherhood leadership looks like - and it all starts with an inner understanding of yourself. In this episode, we share practical tools and ideas to begin to explore your leadership as a mother and a woman, how to drop out of the masculine race and instead follow your own body and cycles, how to mother with certainty but still hold unconditional grace, and what true leadership the world needs.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------FULL YOUTUBE EPISODE AVAILABLE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHXnLkoqvB8And Long-form audio episode is right HERE: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/ep-162-leadership-in-motherhood-with-omara-evertz/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within these conversations, we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[TIME STAMPS][00:00] - Acknowledgements[00:40] - Intro[02:00] - Leadership in Motherhood[03:29] - Birth By Fire[04:43] - A Masculine Way[06:38] - An Eye on Yourself[08:03] - The Moon[11:53] - What Leadership Looks Like[12:55] - Deep Knowing[13:15] - Unbalanced Masculine[13:56] - Feminine is The Bowl[15:31] - Outro Hosted on Acast.

Welcome beautiful Mamas.Today, a look back at a special episode, conducted in November 2019, with the extraordinary, Dr Oscar Serrallach.Most mothers have experienced exhaustion, pain, forgetfulness, indecision, low energy levels, moodiness, or some form of baby brain.And it's no wonder: the process of growing a baby depletes a mother's body in substantial ways - on average, a mother's brain shrinks 5% during pregnancy, and the placenta saps her of essential nutrients that she needs to be healthy and contented.But with postnatal care ending after six weeks, most women never learn how to rebuild their strength and care for their bodies after childbirth.As a result, they can suffer from the effects of depletion for many years, without knowing what's wrong or getting the support and treatments that they need.Dr. Oscar Serrallach is the man behind this insight and is changing the way we honor being a mother. By bringing in these new understandings of what really happens to a woman’s body, he’s allowing us all to breathe out … realizing that there isn’t something ‘wrong’ with us. We’re just depleted.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUT MORE ABOUT DR OSCAR HERE: https://www.droscarserrallach.com/https://www.instagram.com/droscarserrallach/https://www.facebook.com/droscarserrallachand order a copy of his book here: https://www.droscarserrallach.com/book-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within these conversations, we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[TIME STAMPS][00:00] - Acknowledgements[00:40] - Intro[02:04] - Postanal Depletion[02:52] - Functional Medicine[03:40] - Old Cultures[04:38] - Upgrades[05:38] - Matrescence[07:22] - The Stress Response[09:09] - A Super-Power[11:35] - Overwhelm[13:19] - How the Dominos Fell[14:53] - Outro Hosted on Acast.

Welcome Mamas, to our next MATRESCENCE MOMENTS RETROSPECTIVE EPISODE.Dr Vanessa Lapointe has an interesting take on the purpose of parenting. Sure, having children is about expanding your family and experiencing unconditional love, but at the core of it, she believes that parenting is here to challenge us - to challenge us to grow, to look at our old belief patterns, and to push us to expand and grow. Looking back, it's obvious that's what parenting is all about. We have a false belief that becoming a mama will be the happiest time in our lives - and hard truth: it's actually one of the least happiest. At least, that's what the research Dr Lapointe shares in this podcast says. However, despite the struggles and challenges, the same research also shows us that it is the most fulfilling time of our lives. So how do we navigate all the deep challenges of raising another human being? In this inspiring episode, Dr Lapointe walks us through an understanding of how our brains work, and how we can be kind towards ourselves as we grow along side our children. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND MORE FROM VANESSA HERE:https://www.instagram.com/dr.vanessalapointe/https://www.facebook.com/drvanessalapointe/https://twitter.com/DrVlapointe-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within these conversations, we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Time Stamps][00:00] - Acknowledgements[00:40] - Intro[02:04] - The REal Purpose of Parenting[04:22] - The Inner-Me-Mama[05:44] - Consciousness is Central[06:47] - The Iceberg[08:13] - Springing Through the Flowers[09:28] - A Little Naivete[09:44] - The Magic Wand[11:55] - We Choose Every Feeling[12:58] - The Holocaust in Her[14:07] - Outro Hosted on Acast.

So many of us are craving a more simple life: a home filled with joy and love, a day filled with connection. As women, this is what we most need too. But how do we do it? How can we create a home that feels like a sanctuary? In this episode, I had the chance to speak with organisation and space clearing expert - and mama - Helen Joy Butler about how to create a sacred home, and life. On her own Sanctuary journey Helen discovered that by bringing calm, connection and kindness into all aspects of her life she was able to open the channel to her spiritual gifts and abilities as a psychic, intuitive and energy healer. With her gentle approach, Helen shares practical and spiritual ways you can make real change in your life and return to your true Spiritual nature, all through the concept of Sanctuary.So take a moment today, and put your feet up, as we take in some insights from this intriguing episode from 2017.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND OUR MORE ABOUT HELEN:https://helenjoybutler.com/https://www.instagram.com/helenjoybutler/https://www.facebook.com/HelenJoyButler/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within these conversations, we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Time Stamps][00:00] - Acknowledgements[00:40] - Intro[02:04] - Creating Sanctuary[03:06] - Space Clearer[03:47] - The Anchor[04:45] - We all have the Ability[06:06] - Reconnect[07:48] - The Energy of Sanctuary[08:54] - A High-Level Concept[10:36] - What Next?[11:28] - Give Yourself Permission[12:07] - My Own Path[13:00] - The Women We're Meant to Be[13:21] - Outro Hosted on Acast.

When I became a mother, there was a very real but at the time imperceptible 'split' within me: on one hand, there was the woman who had big dreams and goals and identified with her purpose in the world, and on the other hand, there was the newborn mother. The nurturer, the carer, the woman who wanted to be there with her child for every single milestone.And it has taken me more than a decade to understand: it is this split that has been the hardest part to reconcile.For years, I searched for role models of women who were doing it both: who were able to honor both sides of that split. I couldn't find any. And so when I came across author, international speaker, and Success Coach Debra Poneman and her story of walking away from an enormous international career to be a mum, I had to speak with her. It was during one of our conversations that she shared with me one of the most life-changing sentences I have ever heard:Your dharma will wait for you.In this episode, you will hear how Debra has honored her heart over her head, and come back to a career that takes her around the world. This is for all the mamas who have wondered how they can do both - and feel the pull of both parts of themselves.For over 40 years, Debra Poneman, bestselling author and founder of Yes to Success Seminars, has shared her success system, now used by tens of thousands in every corner of the globe, to create lives filled with abundance, happiness, deep self-love, and unshakable inner fulfillment.Known as the mentor to the mentors, Debra’s students have used her teachings to become mega-successful entrepreneurs, renowned transformational leaders, NY Times bestselling authors, millionaires, billionaires—even household names. But Debra’s greatest gift is her deep belief in everyone’s magnificence and ability to convey that belief to activate in her audiences a profound and lasting transformation.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FIND DEBRA HERE:https://yestosuccess.com/https://www.instagram.com/debraponeman/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW...-How motherhood changes your core identity-What the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within you-How to stop being torn between all the roles you have to play-How to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differently-How to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved onesThen register for a set of live coaching calls with me, Amy Taylor Kabbaz.HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN AMY AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN, HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER.CLICK the LINK to find out more:https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/tboy/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within these conversations, we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Time Stamps}Time Stamps][00:00] - Acknowledgements[00:40] - Intro[02:02] - Your Dharma will wait for you[02:38] - Pushing 30[04:29] - Manifested through you[05:39] - Keep that Secret[06:02] - Call me back in 18 years[08:10] - Impulses of the Heart[08:39] - A Wealthy Husband[09:28] - Remember 'The Book'[11:59] - What Love feels like[12:14] - A Life Worth Living[12:59] - Outro Hosted on Acast.

Dearest MamasToday, I want to talk to you about the incredible power of a happy list. It's a concept that impacts my life profoundly, and I believe it can do the same for you. So, grab a cup of tea, find a cozy spot, and let's dive into this wonderful practice together.A happy list is a sacred collection of things, experiences, and thoughts that bring you joy, gratitude, and happiness. It's a reminder of the beautiful and positive aspects of your life, a snapshot of the moments that make your heart sing. When you create and engage with a happy list, you invite more happiness and positivity into your life.The first thing that makes a happy list so powerful is its ability to shift your focus to the positive. We live in a world where negativity can easily overwhelm us—stress, challenges, and hardships are a part of life. But with a happy list, we intentionally redirect our attention away from those negative aspects and train our minds to dwell on the things that bring us happiness. By consciously shifting our mindset towards positivity, we can improve our mood, our overall outlook, and our resilience.One of the greatest powers of a happy list lies in its ability to boost your mood instantly. When you're feeling down, stressed, or overwhelmed, revisiting your list can be a soothing balm for your soul. Engage with the items on your list—listen to your favorite uplifting music, immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, or engage in activities that bring you pure joy. By intentionally immersing yourself in these moments of happiness, you can quickly uplift your mood and restore your emotional well-being.[Time Stamps][00:00] - Acknowledgements[00:40] - The Power of a Happy List[01:55] - The Process[04:00] - Blind to What We Have[05:48] - Right Now[07:30] - Filling Up[09:00] - A List[12:52] - What it' All ForSo, my dear friends, I invite you to create your own happy list. Whether it's a physical journal, a digital document, or a mental compilation, make it a sacred practice to regularly engage with it. Take the time to review, update, and add new items that bring you joy and happiness. Allow yourself to be fully present in those moments as you engage with your list, savoring the joy they bring.Remember, the power of a happy list lies in the act of consciously focusing on happiness. Embrace it as a daily ritual, a sanctuary for your soul.

Welcome, all you beautiful mamas.We are the future ancestors and the future elders. We, as women and as mothers, are the ones to weave our wisdom through to the next generations... but only if we heal ourselves first. This was the call to action I felt as I read Annabelle Sharman's @liveinoneness book "The Future Ancestors"... and felt again when I interviewed her for this week's podcast.What if we thought of ourselves in this way? What would change? How will we come together to nurture and protect this land? And what legacy will we leave behind? Annabelle Sharman is a proud Mutti Mutti woman who honours her ancestral cultural heritage through her work as a multi-disciplinary artist and healer. A certified social worker, reiki master, and holistic counselor—today her work is located at the intersections of art, culture, community, health, and wellbeing. At the core of Annabelle’s methodology is the YUMA Spirit Cloth Healing Process, a unique merging of therapeutic practices, cultural knowledge, storytelling, and art that cultivates a deeper connection to self and others, that often leads to improved well-being and emotional healing. This conversation with Annabelle stirred something in me... perhaps it will in you too. Listen now on your podcast players or Youtube, and let Annabelle and I know.

Greetings, beautiful Mamas, and welcome back to another episode of MAMAQ. Today, we're tackling a question that often leaves many mothers puzzled and seeking guidance. It's a tricky one, but we're up for the challenge.In this episode, we'll be taking a closer look at mamas living with teenagers, through the lens of matrescence. As you probably already know, matrescence is the term used to describe the transformative journey that women go through after becoming mothers. It's a process that involves significant physical, emotional, and psychological changes that continue throughout a woman's life.Similarly, adolescence is a time of transformation from youth to maturity, and it too can be informed by the principles of matrescence. Drawing on my many years of research, experience, and teaching, I believe we can shed some light on this complex topic.Especially because i have joining me on this episode is my special guest, Linda Anderson. Linda is an experienced Mama Rising coach and matrescence guru who will be answering a question from one of our listeners. Together, we'll be exploring how matrescence can change the way we approach and view the relationships we have with our teenage children.If you're a mother with a teenager or simply curious about the changes that mothers go through as their children grow up, then you won't want to miss this episode. So sit back, relax, and let's delve deeper into the new world of matrescence.[Time Stamps]00.00 - Acknowledgements00.45 - Intro01.20 - Mama Rising coach, Linda Anderson02.23 - Kate's Questions03.23 - The Straight Answer05.19 - The Lens of Matrescence07.27 - The Gift08.50 - Twin Transitions10.30 - The Cascade of Motherhood15.54 - The Gap Between17.37 - Teenage Daughters21.12 - Self-Silencing23.30 - An AwakeningI truely hope that you could benefit from this weeks conversation and can find something useful that you can apply to your own life.Until next time,Thank you for being part of this important conversation.Take care Mamas.~Sat Nam~Amy-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you are struggling with the changes motherhood has brought you, get in touch with Linda Anderson through Instagram: @lindaonthego1 , Facebook: lindaonthego, and her website: lindaonthego.com-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Mama Rising Facilitator training is open for enrolment RIGHT NOW.

Hello again, beautiful Mamas. I am thrilled to introduce you to another amazing guest who will undoubtedly inspire us all. Wendy Jackson is a true force to be reckoned with - a midwife with more than 30 years of experience, a yoga teacher, a space holder, and a Mama Rising Coach. She has dedicated her life to helping women bring new life into the world, and her passion for her work shines through in everything she does.Today, Wendy will be sharing some glimpses into her upcoming book, as well as her reflections on her decades-long journey as a midwife. Wendy is an expert in her field, having delivered countless babies and supporting mothers through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. However, her journey has not been without its struggles. Wendy has had personal experience with the heartbreak of stillbirth, coming very close to it herself but for a miracle. Tragically, she has also supported other mamas through the unbearable process more than once throughout her career. While these experiences are undeniably devastating, Wendy has spent years in introspection and healing, allowing her to tap into a deep well of love and understanding. As a result, she has emerged even stronger and more compassionate than before, ready to continue supporting and empowering others.Wendy's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassion and connection to help us heal. Today, Wendy is here to share her story with all of us, and to offer a glimpse into the world of midwifery and the joys and challenges of bringing new life into the world. I know you will all be as moved and inspired by her words as I am, and I can't wait to see the impact we can make when we come together in openness and compassion.[Time Stamps]00.00 - ACknowledgements00.42 - Intro03.27 -Healing Without a Timeline05.11 - Stories of Birth06.35 - Cinderella Service08.00 -Haunting Experiences10.32 - ...
