Today on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm welcoming Emma Cottam of Isabella and Us back onto the show. We last spoke on the podcast in October 2020 - we were deep into the first 6 months of the pandemic and looking ahead to a second lockdown. It was GRIM times indeed! I decided to invite her back because she's recently started offering help establishing journalling practice, and this is something I've been working on - and struggling with! - recently so it seemed really great timing. In our chat we talked about... What journalling is and how it differs from keeping a diary or a planner The benefits of journalling and why it's so helpful for mums in transitional timee Overcoming mindset blocks around perfectionism and challenging emotions that arise through journalling What to do with journals once we've finished with them and the tricky conundrum of journals as a legacy I enjoyed this chat so much - I basically treated it as a means to get all my sticky questions answered about journalling! I know I'm going to be joining her July Summer of Me month of journal prompts to keep up my journalling practice through the summer.

Today I talk to Emma Cottam of Isabella and Us and founder of the Positive Wellbeing Magazine and Podcast. Emma wears many hats - she's a speaker, writer, editor, designer and photographer. She started her business, Isabella and Us, when her daughter was just4 weeks old and then founded the Positive Wellbeing Zine and Podcast for Mums nine months later. We talked about: How she came to start a business within 4 weeks of giving birth Why positive wellbeing for mums is needed How being creative gave her an outlet away from being a mum that she really needed Why buying stuff for the parents is more useful than stuff for the baby The fact that giving birth to a baby is also a rebirth for the parents What Emma would tell her pregnant self if she could go back in time, and her three top tips for preparing to becoming a mother Emma was really honest and open around her experiences as a mother and candid about her struggles to bond with her daughter and the ongoing work she is doing to establish that relationship with her. I found it heartbreaking at times, but I'm so grateful to her for sharing her experience to help normalise the whole spectrum of feelings you can experience as a mother. I find it amazing that despite her experiences during pregnancy and postnatally, she's still very positive about how she's grown and developed as a result of the experience and that it's led to how she is as a person. Even more so that she has turned into a mission to promote positivity and help other mums access resources to remind them they are winning as a mummy - the core message in everything she does. This was a powerful episode to record and I was reminded once again how strong we mums really are.
