Restless Mama - The Mess and Magic of Motherhood

'If you could only give one advice to new mothers, what would that be?' The other day someone​ asked me what mine would be. So I thought this is the perfect topic for my final episode as well as summarising the advice from all the amazing women I was lucky enough to having on the show.

This week I had the absolute pleasure to have Michele Ripper on the show. She is a life and business strategist and founder of The Life Fandango. She guides entrepreneurial women through the ins and the outs, the high and the lows, the twists and the turns of life and business, so that her clients can enjoy a life of harmony and success. By tapping into your creativity, playfulness and talents, Michele helps choreograph the steps that lead you on a journey of self-discovery, aha moments and shifts in thinking and as a result, land you centrestage in the life of your dreams. We talked about career changes, motherhood, postnatal depression and how it is never to late to follow whatever you want to out your mind into. She sure is a inspiration for all women and mothers. If you think it's time to step back into the world and live a life where you dance to your own tune, email Michele at michele@thelifefandango.com.au and treat yourself to a free discovery session to see how life could change for you.

This week I had the absolute pleasure to have Yummii Nguyen on the show. She is the founder of 'The Motherhood Mindset' and a Mindset Coach. She specialises in Relationships, Healing, and Love. Her purpose and passion lives in empowering and guiding others how to think clearly, bring compassion and understanding to their wounds, and show-up in their relationships from a place of LOVE over FEAR. The Motherhood Mindset is a space for Mothers who believe in healing their wounds and bringing self-awareness to their parenting journey. Motherhood isn't just about your child. Motherhood is your opportunity to heal and transform - and master the art of living from Love. We had a beautiful conversation about finding your wholeness, her experience of transformation and healing throughout motherhood and the huge significance for putting yourself first as parents.

She is a proud Gippslandian, wife and busy mum of two little ones . While on maternity leave from science teaching, she was increasingly frustrated at that food wastage and plastic pollution occuring in her own home. Being raised on the land and having a passion for sustainability she put her science skills to use and developed an all-natural formula that produced premium reusable food wraps that keep food fresher for longer. Little Bumble wraps are a beautiful and sustainable alternative to plastic wrap that reduce food wastage and plastic pollution. We talked about her business journey, challenges she faced as a mum as well as postnatal depression which just ties in beautifully into PANDA week.

So you know that you are not alone and hopefully it empowers you to find the right balance for you. This week is all about Mum guilt.⠀ ⠀ We all know about it, we all experience it on a daily base. When we put our kids in front of the tv for the third time because we need to finish some work; when we give them that damn chocolate chip cookie to just enjoy one minute of peace and quiet only to pay for it 10 minutes after #sugarrush⠀ ⠀ In these moments, how is our self talk? What are we actually saying to ourselves? ⠀ ⠀ In this episode we look into guilt and shame and the difference between the two based on Brene Brown's research and her podcast 'Unlocking us' and especially focusing on our self talk as mothers and also how guilt and shame and their different meaning are impacting our parenting.⠀ ⠀ We will always experience mum guilt. There is no way around it. ⠀ ⠀ We all make mistakes and in that case, feeling guilt is actually promoting positive change.⠀ ⠀ Yet most of the time, we feel guilty because we put ourselves first. And as mothers we need that, to simply keep it together, take a breath and keep going. So in that situation, tell your monkey mind to f off.⠀ ⠀ I keep banging on about this:⠀ A mother's mental health is the most important of all. ⠀ ⠀ I see you, I feel you, you rock xo
