In the twenty-ninth episode of The Motherwhelm, I am joined by Jane, an occupational therapist and mum of two from Melbourne, who talks about the power of reframing trauma on your own terms, doing your research for birth and beyond, and trusting your instincts. Texts mentioned in this episode: 'Mama Rising' by Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

What do we do when we're experiencing significant changes physically, emotionally and spiritually in the years running up to menopause, all we want to do is run far, far away, but we still have kids at home who need our care and support?This question is coming up a lot in our community and that's why I'm so grateful to be talking with Matrescence expert, journalist and coach, Amy Taylor Kabbaz, who also happens to be smack in the middle of perimenopause, with three children at home. Over the past decade, Amy has interviewed hundreds of authors, maternal health experts, and teachers, trying to decipher why so many mothers feel burnt out, overwhelmed, and addicted to being busy. Over the past year she's been exploring how we can support ourselves through the huge transition of perimenopause, and she shares the fruits with us today.  We explore:How the ‘fork in the road' of perimenopause is helping Amy to change deep patterns, including shifting her old go-to approach of “give me the pill, I've got sh*t to do”.Perimenopause as a kind of ‘pregnancy' which prepares us for the rebirth of ourselves through the spiritual initiation of menopause. How to manage perimenopause symptoms  including exhaustion, irritability and anger, brain fog and the often overwhelming ‘motherload' of care and responsibility, and still show up for our kids.---Find out more about the Red School Menstruality Leadership programme: www.menstrualityleadership.com---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Welcome to this week's solo episode of The Happy Mama Movement Podcast.In today's episode, I dive deep into a powerful and often unspoken experience of motherhood: maternal rage and anger. As mothers, we can feel a sense of overwhelming responsibility and crushing pressure, and yet, so often, we are not acknowledged or supported in the ways we truly need.But there is a way through planning and care.We explore:What maternal rage really is, and how it differs from typical frustration or stress.Why mothers are so often left to navigate this emotional overwhelm alone.The systems that fail to support mothers, leaving us feeling isolated and undervalued.The emotional toll of societal expectations on motherhood, and how these expectations can fuel feelings of resentment.How we can begin to heal, find support, and create the change we need in our lives and society.I hope you find this conversation insightful. If you do, please share it widely so mothers everywhere can access the support and information they need to thrive.ABOUT AMY TAYLOR-KABBAZ:Amy is an internationally recognized coach, author, and advocate for mothers. Through her work with 'Mama Rising' and "The Happy Mama Movement Podcast", Amy brings to light the struggles and triumphs of modern motherhood, helping mothers understand the concept of matrescence and navigate the complex emotions and challenges of this life transition.RESOURCES:Cristalle Hayes, author of 'Angry Mother, Assertive Mother' - https://www.amazon.com.au/Angry-Mother-Assertive-maternal-radical/dp/1781336504Here's the link to the playlist I mention in the episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0spIOjXzxJxNRT2SrCZlYi?si=a650051bc5cd4350 Hosted on Acast.

Society often stigmatizes "mom brain," dismissing new mothers as being “hormonal,” “sentimental,” and “overly emotional.”But matrescence expert Amy Taylor-Kabbaz argues that if we truly understood the profound changes that happen in our brain when we become a mama, we'd see them as a superpower, not a source of embarrassment.In this enlightening moment, Amy delves into the profound neurological changes that accompany motherhood, and explains why they should be celebrated, not shamed.Press play to discover: what matrescence is, why it's so crucial to have language to describe the experience of motherhood, the incredible social, physical and psychological changes a woman goes through when she becomes a mama, why the first 7 years of motherhood are absolutely crucial for both mother and baby, how a mother's life fundamentally splits in two, and why ‘mom brain' is real — but it's not what you think!Listen to the full episode: Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/430-overcoming-mama-guilt-self-care-after-kids-navigating/id1196106699?i=1000544234236 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6bw6qrZot5D1VDO21RfNLr?si=1ff4bb78cc9b40b3 Hey, do you follow the show?

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.

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.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. Today, I'm returning with mindful mama, Amy Taylor-Kabbaz. I've been wanting to have THIS very conversation with her for years now and I'm so happy to be able to share it with you. Nothing can quite prepare you for the endless ways in which becoming a parent changes you. The transition from Maid to Mother is a profound rite of passage.  This episode is a deep dive into matrescence, a term often overlooked in our culture. Just as ‘adolescence' heralds huge change in teenagers, matrescence refers to the profound changes of motherhood - not just the physical and hormonal changes but also the deep shifts within our identity, values, and beliefs. I love Amy's ability to articulate big concepts with generous simplicity and an undeniable passion. Whether you're a parent yourself, longing to be or just looking to explore these lost rites of passage, this episode holds treasure for you. “Matrescence begins the moment you contemplate how motherhood might fit into your life.” - Amy Taylor-Kabbaz   KEY TIMESTAMPS: 02:05 Opening Sacred Space. 03:58 What is matrescence and why does it mean so much? 10:44 A word that encompasses all experiences as a mother. 12:51 The ‘inner split' of who you used to be and the mother. 20:08 There is no official ‘end point' of this experience. 21:38 The unseen life force that the mother expels. 26:43 Just like adolescence, matrescence heralds change. 32:20 Motherhood is what feminism forgot. 36:06 This will be the making of you. 39:35 The heavy layers of love towards a mother. 45:35 The constantly changing ways of returning to the wisdom within. 47:01 Today's Soul Inquiry prompts.   SOUL INQUIRY Soul Inquiry is a practice where we enter a direct dialogue with our inner self.  Today's Soul Inquiry prompt is: How are you being called to honor your matrescence or the matrescence for a mother in your life? Now it's time to commit to a grounded action:  What is one baby step you can take in that direction today?   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Full Episode Transcript Anthropologist Dana Raphael Matrescence by Dr. Aurélie Athan Postnatal Depletion by Dr. Oscar Serrallach The Motherhood Center in New York City Book: The Heroine's Journey by Maureen Murdock Amy's Website Book: Mama Rising by Amy Taylor-Kabbaz Mama Rising Training by Amy Taylor-Kabbaz Connect with Amy on Instagram Connect with Amy on Facebook   CONNECT WITH REBECCA: Website - https://rebeccacampbell.me/practice/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rebeccacampbell_author/ Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/rebeccacampbellauthor YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/RebeccaCampbell

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

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.

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

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...

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

In this episode, Amy Taylor-Kabbaz and I delve into the intricacies, beauty and challenges of mothering ‘beyond the early years', and share parts of our own personal mothering journeys to demonstrate the ongoing nature of matrescence. Amy's insights from her lived experience and work as a matrescence activist, cast a light on the imperative need for all-encompassing support systems that envelop mothers throughout their journey. We talk about the impossible ‘balancing act' when it comes to mothering children at different ages and stages, and how we continue to nurture ourselves and a sense of our own identity while trying to meet our children's varying and various needs. We hope that our conversation points to the vital significance of sharing stories among mothers and having spaces where we can be heard, as well as how we can learn from other mothers who are in different stages of motherhood than we may be. Amy articulates how storytelling can become a vehicle for healing, growth, and cultivating a profound sense of solidarity amongst mothers, and emphasizes the potential and possibility for matrescence as a powerful catalyst for personal growth, healing and transformation. If you're interested in supporting mothers on their matrescence journey, check out Amy's groundbreaking Mama Rising Offering, which encapsulates her unique coaching and support framework for mothers transitioning through matrescence.

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

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

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

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...

Welcome Back Mamas!After an incredibly busy month of conferences and planning, I return to you with this.A Retrospective. A look back at what came before and the incredible wisdom we have shared between us. A dip into the Happy Mama Movement Archives. A Showcase of some of the brilliant minds that offered us insights and strategies and some plain old good advice.First up we dive down deep, back to 2017, Episode #29.

She is a qualified Counsellor with a strong interest in holistic health and wellbeing.“I was needing some time out; somewhere to go for a couple of days where I could re-ground and center myself, most importantly somewhere I could go with my new baby. Nothing existed. So I decided to create it.Every aspect of a Motherground Retreat has been gently and thoughtfully designed with new mum's wants and needs in mind. Motherground retreats are something that every mother should be able to experience and enjoy”.Jasmin's hope for all new mums is that they can allow themselves the gift of time and space to relax, re-connect and find their balance so they can tune in to their innate wisdom and strength of their Motherground.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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[02:16] - Finding Yourself[03:00] - The Catapult[03:40] - Not part of the Plan[04:55] - Survival to Support[06:12] - Space with your Child[07:03] - The Need to Share[08:41] - Relationship Dynamics[10:00] - It's okay to be Vulnerable[10:53] - Outro

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.

This International Women's Day Lisa is celebrating by sharing a frank and honest discussion with two of her favourite people. Amy Taylor-Kabbaz and Samantha Sutherland are powerhouse women creating big waves in women's well-being circles. Amy is an Author and the founder of Mama Rising, the first Matrescence certification of its kind. She has broken new ground in our understanding and literacy of motherhood. Sam is a sought-after Facilitator and Speaker whose mission is to assist women to lead fulfilling and joyful lives. She works with corporations on removing work barriers and with individual women on the systematic barriers they face each and every day. In this conversation, you'll hear anger, rage, hope, laughter, optimism, and sisterhood. They discuss why they're angry about where women are at right now, why it's boring to still be angry about this stuff, and why there's so much to look forward to in the coming years. The system is rigged against women and when we are aware of that and can see ourselves as part of this rigged system - then we can create change. It's a juicy discussion.

Welcome Mamas to this week's Happy Mama Movement Podcast episode.After years of building a successful business around assisting and educating women to better understand themselves and the world we live in, one questions that I am often asked is around the theme of better preparing for what's to come.Most of us have read 'the books', been to 'the workshops' and 'the seminars', taken 'the classes', attended 'the webinars', and routinely practiced various techniques...But, has any of this significantly made us less anxious and prepared to fearlessly face the unknown? Can we ever actually prepare ourselves for an unforeseeable future? Can we ever know enough? Can we ever practice enough? Can we ever have enough foresight to maneuver, without taking enumerable falls, the stumbling blocks in our lives?It seems no matter how hard we try, none of us are removed from the world of things and the uncompromising change that buffets us to and fro' all of our days. So what is there left for us to do?In this solo episode, I discuss my impressions and feelings around this dilemma and consider what i believe to be a superior view to take on this age old obstacle. Can we change the paradigm regarding 'change' itself? Is there a deeper place of peace on which we can depend? Can we find a level of deep trust in this process, so that we can let go, and find lasting joy in these fleeting moments?Today, I offer you this episode; a humble, still-evolving answer to this question.I hope you find something of value here.(Time Stamps below)[0:00] - Acknowledging the Gadigal People[0:38] -Intro[1:35] - Can we ever really prepare?[2:37] - Doing all the "Right" things[3:12] - Okay, no matter what.[5:25] - The Challenge of Change[6:33] - Not on my own[7:53] - Trust in this[9:00] - I'll find a way[10:15] - Reach out to meThank you once again for choosing to spend this time with me and to continue the discourse on these and other important issues.

Welcome to the final episode for 2022.How are you? I mean, really how are you?I know it's cliché, but my goodness we have all been through a lot over the last three years. And this has created a sense of one thing after another, after another. As we pause at the end of another year, I invite you to reflect and think about our needs vs what feeds us. This concept has been presented to me again recently in the book Unbound by Kasia Urbaniak. Come with me as I explore and offer prompting questions in this solo episode. Talking about:Expectations of us alongside subtle power dynamics. How we can unbind and free ourselves to actually get what we most need.The balance of our mothering, giving, nurturing instincts and supporting what feeds our soul, heart and sense of self at the same time.Grieving when we are not needed anymore, the seasons that ebb and flow and how that can present its own challenges. Celebrating all we have done and who we are becoming, as we recognise and love our own needs alongside those of others.Thank you for spending time with me today and for a wide range of Podcast episodes in 2022. As mentioned in this episode, the Mama Rising Facilitator training is open for enrolment in 2023.

Today I want to explore an idea with you. Something that has been permeating within me ever since I had a divine conversation with Nicole Matheson on her new book, The Beauty Load (episode number 211). During that conversation we talked about how we often gaslight ourselves and each other when it comes to the beauty load. This heavy load we carry around the way we should look, the way we should present ourselves, the way we should be viewed and seen as women. Listen as I reflect and think about:How well meaning comments, with right intention, often answers we have been taught to say can actually be unhelpful in acknowledging each other.How we can start to question our own realities, memories or perceptions.How to stop dismissing our own feelings and allow ourselves to be heard, within our heart, head and within community.Turning the conversation around, both externally and internally with each other and with ourselves.There needs to be a change in the way mothers are valued and seen in our society. We are here to spread the whispers of Matrescence together.Find out more and receive your Matrescence map here https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/matrescence/

I've been reflecting a lot over the last few years and began having the conversations with women and mamas around me about the process of acceptance, grief and surrender that we go through when we realise our children will need us more than we expected when we started out on this journey. It's a tough, yet necessary, conversation, because it's an emotional one. Listen to this solo episode with Amy as she talks about: The process of matresence and transformation of where we are no longer who we used to be, while also figuring out who we are. Grieving and letting go of your maiden self as we say goodbye to parts of ourselves and welcome the new. How we often hold onto hope that periods and phases will end. They will grow, go to school, become independent and times we crave will return. Reimagining what our child's and our own future will look like. We need to grieve and most importantly acknowledge as mamas. Put support around us and ask the questions such as; How are you with this? How are you with this? How are you coping with this change in your vision for your family? How are you balancing yourself in this? What do you need? Not for your child, but for you? There needs to be a change in the way mothers are valued and seen in our society. We are here to spread the whispers of Matrescence together. Find out more and receive your Matrescence map here https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/matrescence/

Matresence brings up time and time again many questions of who am I? What do I want to do with my life? What is our own definition of being a good mother? And ultimately, is this still what I want? The period of questioning everything, who we are and what we want is part of the cracking open of matresence. It's part of how we help to define ourselves, wipe away significant programming. Amy reflects on her very own journey with a curiosity now within this solo episode. Touches on: When we think we're static and need to live a certain way because we believe it is true. Being okay with realising sometimes we might not fully know who we are. Building our lives on beliefs of thinking we know who we are and how matresence changes that. The honour and privilege that is to ask these questions of ourselves, even if they can be uncomfortable. It is clear that matresence involves so many of these questions and I invite you to simply ask the question, is this still what I want. Within these conversations we change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society and spread the whispers of Matrescence together.

Redefining our careers and purpose as mothers with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz In this episode I speak with best-Selling author, speaker, journalist, Matrescence Activist and Mama of three, Amy Taylor-Kabbaz. We examine the individual and social costs, consequences and challenges of mothers navigating and engaging in paid work and building/maintaining careers in a system that isn't set up for mothers. Amy shares her experience of this, the development of her business, and how the way we ‘work' shapes how we see and experience ourselves as women and mothers. We discuss some of the social and structural barriers that face mothers and what it can mean to contribute to the world through our mothering and a career. We reflect on re-valuing the role of the mother within our society, and the need for institutional and system change to better support and value women when we become mothers.
