When you become a mother you can feel a shift in and a reprioritising of what's important to you. And this can be sometimes referred to as a matrescence spiritual awakening - as you transform from a woman into a mother you start to see some things in your life differently. For some this could look like caring more for the environment and the impact we make daily or doing a wardrobe cleanse and rethinking the way you buy and consume your clothing, and for others it can be living more slowly and with greater intention.
This next podcast explores just this with the beautiful Rachelle from How to ..read more

There is so much stigma, shame, guilt and ‘I’m not good enough', around Postnatal Depression (PND) and when I work with mamas-to-be a lot of fear too.
So I wanted to bring you this raw and authentic podcast with the lovely Josie from Smiling After PND to help normalise asking for help, to help YOU the mamas-to-be to further understand the clues and signs of PND and of course to simply have a conversation about a topic that is often taboo and an afterthought, put it the ‘I’ll deal with it if it happens’ basket.
And since I am so passionate about helping women prepare better for motherhood ..read more

Trina, from Mindset Mama (who now since recording you can find at @trina_m_pettersen) and I have been linked in through our businesses for almost two years now and I am a big fan of her approach to life and business - and what a chat this was.
Raw, honest and exposing.
‘Who am I now that I am a mum…
What is my purpose…
What am I truly here for...?’
In this latest podcast, Trina has a beautiful way of describing becoming a mother and the transformation a woman goes through.

We can’t ignore that physical changes are a major part of our transformation into motherhood, that it plays a big role in our matrescence.
We can’t ignore how our bodies shift and change, but also how we see our bodies, how we identify who we are through our bodies and of course how our society and culture talks about both pregnant and postpartum bodies.
So you can imagine I loved this chat with Kimmy from the Empowered Motherhood Program (EMP). Kimmy is one part of this amazing duo and Lyz the other at the time of recording was about to have her third baby and well you guessed it, she w ..read more

I’ve been following Kate from Milky Business for some time now, and as soon as I read this statement on her website I knew we were on the same page in the same book...“I love working with babies. While this is true, I’m really in it for the mothers. I am passionate about supporting women to have the best experience possible as they transform into a mother, whether it be for the first or fifth time. I want every woman to have the knowledge and skills she needs to have a journey that she is proud of and can reflect on positively...”

So often we hear ‘we’ve lost the village’; the nurturing by our wise ‘been there before’ elders, the connection to other mamas and even more simply the unconditional support of someone who just wants to hold the mama - to look after her, nourish her and take a load off for her.
So I’m so excited to bring you this second episode where I am joined by two divine mamas Bec and Freya from Your Village.
Through Bec’s experience of becoming a mother and with Freya, one of her besties, there every step of the way to be her village, they both not only recognised the unmet need but deeply felt it ..read more

This very first podcast episode I chat to Jenna from Meals4Mummas. Jenna is one part of this team of two, and Jemma is the other amazing mama. In this episode we get to hear about Jenna’s journey into motherhood and why both herself and Jemma started Meals4Mummas. Today modern mothers go into pregnancy already depleted and it isn’t surprising that through pregnancy and those early postpartum months deeply nourishing our bodys isn’t a priority. We ‘get by’.
With a strong interest in making it easier and helping new mamas to deeply nourish their body’s in those postpartum weeks (and beyond), Jen ..read more
