Listen: I am NOT a fan of traditional, unsustainable food diets. You know this. But what I CAN get behind: a MENTAL diet. People are quick to go on diets when they don't PHYSICALLY feel their best, but how often do we go on a MENTAL diet to ruthlessly eliminate all the negative inputs for our brains when we don't MENTALLY feel our best? On this podcast, we talk a lot about food consumption. But overall wellness goes beyond what type of food you're consuming — it's the type of media you're consuming, conversations you're having, people you're surrounding yourself with, what you listen to, and how you think on a daily basis.In this episode, I share a vulnerable story about what I've been going through recently that led me to the point of NEEDING this mental diet. Plus, we go over what the 30-day "mental diet" actually entails.Would love to hear your thoughts and if you're joining me!Instagram: @byjuliebooher (DM me here about my Healthy & Happy Mama 8-Week Program!!)Buy my book, Healthy & Happy: Find Food Freedom & Create the Body You Love, HERE.

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...

Mama, Today I wanna chat about something that stirred up some emotions on a social post of mine I hoped a question like this…   ‌ How many times have you found the perfect exercise or nutrition program that would help you reach all of your health and weight loss goals but you didn't sign up because you were worried about the money? Yup! Me too, Mama! I used to be so afraid to spend money on myself because there were so many other expenses that I thought were more important.   ‌ - My kids wanted new clothes/ or the latest shoes.- My husband wanted to buy new gear for his hobbies.- We wanted to take the kids on a fun vacation.  - Healthy food is too expensive.- I want to put my kids in sports/music lessons/after-school activities. ‌ The list could go on, and on, and on. There's always something around the corner that will demand more of your finances. I get it, I've been there. But Mama, let me tell you something.   ‌ Your needs matter. Your health is important. Your happiness is important! To show up and be the very best mama to your kids, the best wife/partner to your spouse, and the best employee/boss at your job, you have to take care of yourself. ‌ I want you to realize that not having enough money is an excuse. Its an easy one we throw out too easily. We are quick to spend money on things that are fleeting and slow to spend on things that are good for us and that could give us years of life back in return.   ‌ I often see this happen because we are so used to coming last when it comes to the needs of the family. We fall into the martyr mom role.   ‌ And this isn't necessarily your fault! You were most likely taught that this was the way it worked! The expectation for generations has been that mamas give up everything to make their families happy. But honestly, that's the saddest thing I've ever heard! Would you want your daughters to learn that? To be told that their needs, dreams and goals need to be put away to make other people happy? No way! ‌ I want you to unlearn everything you've been taught about sacrificing everything to make your family happy because, honestly, that attitude is hurting everyone around you! ‌ Here are three truths that will help you prioritize your health so that not only can you be happy, but you can also have a better, stronger, happier family. ## Being unhealthy is more expensive than being healthy Let's just be honest, yes, losing weight and being healthy can be expensive. You need to buy higher quality foods. You need to pay for a coach to teach you how to live healthily. You need to invest in a gym membership or workout equipment. You might even want to get some supplements to perform at optimum levels. It can add up. ‌ But being unhealthy is going to cost you too. Eating out is expensive. When you're overweight you have higher health insurance premiums. Unhealthy habits like drinking and smoking are expensive too!   ‌ Those are just the costs that are in front of you right now. But if you look at the long-term picture, people who are unhealthy end up spending way more on medical bills and prescriptions over their lifetime.   ‌ On top of that, they are more likely to get sick which leads to more missed work. That's less revenue coming into your family. According to Market Watch, unhealthy people earn 28% less money over their lifetime compared to their healthy counterparts! ‌ Ask yourself this question, is staying stuck in, unhealthy patterns costing, more or less than it would to be healthy? Most likely, the answer is more!   ‌ One thing mamas don't think about when they're looking at the costs of getting healthy is how much money they will end up saving. Meal planning is the best way to cut costs! Each week I make a weekly meal plan, then I purchase the exact groceries I need for that plan.   ‌ Because I know what I need, I don't end up buying a bunch of food that I don't need or that will end up going bad before we can eat it. This simple habit has saved my family so much money! I have a great [blog post that can help you learn how to meal plan](https://www.kmoremacro.com/blog/2022/8/30/the-1-meal-planning-strategy-that-will-save-busy-mamas-from-complete-overwhelm "‌"). Go check it out! ‌ Then there is a cost we can't put a monetary value too years of life that you just give up. When you level up your health and weight is a big part of being healthy you add years to your life to live. You can't put a price tag on an extra 10 years 5 months 2 days. How many times do we find ourselves saying if I could just have one more day with my mom, or my grandma or anyone we have lost we would give anything! Well, you can start doing just that by investing time, energy and effort into your health!   ‌ Now before we jump into this part let me start out by saying if you are literally paycheck to paycheck I am not talking about you in this blog, podcast or social post. I know you are not making excuses about getting healthy and your finances I am talking about mamas who use money as an out, a reason to not show up and give themselves a happier, healthier better future! People who hide behind I can't's and fear and then use money as a scapegoat!   ‌ We have to remember our health is a need not a want ‌ A lot of the things we spend our money on are not needs, they are wants. You _want_ to take the kids to Disney - you don't _have_ to. Your husband _wants_ to buy something new - he doesn't _have_ to. ‌ But, you _have_ to eat. You _have_ to wake up each day and mom. You _have_ to do well at work if you want to keep your job. So why aren't you investing time, energy and money to do all of those things to the best of your abilities? ‌ Mamas get stuck in the trap of thinking that they will invest in their health when there's some extra money in the budget. But, Mama, be honest with me, when's the last time that you had extra money?   ‌ I never have extra money for myself because there's always some emergency that takes precedence! The car breaks down and needs to be fixed. The kids want money to go out with friends. Your husband decides to make a big purchase. ‌ If you keep waiting until there's money left over to focus on your health you're going to be waiting forever. You need to make your health a priority not an afterthought! You deserve that! ‌ I am also not saying that this should financially hurt for the next 10 years lol. But when you invest in a real coach, a real program where there is skin in the game You show up differently. Think of this how many people spend $9 on a gym membership for 5 10 15 years and NEVER GO? Then think about this how many people pay for a studio like pilates or CF and pay $180 to $200 bucks and don't show for 5 months, to a year VERY VERY few there is skin in the game because it's a real investment nad intention.   ‌ Every day I talk to mamas who are desperate to lose weight, feel good and have the energy to keep up with all that life demands of them. But they don't put their needs at the top of the to-do list. If they did, they would have everything they want! ‌ Instead of saying, “I can't afford to get healthy right now.” I want you to say “Being healthy isn't a priority for me right now.” How does that feel? Does that make you feel happy, sad, disappointed, frustrated, or elated? What is the feeling that hits you when you tell yourself that your health isn't a priority? ‌ If you feel sad, frustrated, disappointed, etc, then that means this is something you need. It's time to make buying a program fit into your budget - not the other way around! So many good things will come from prioritizing your health that spending the money on it now with absolutely be worth it. ‌ You can't afford to not be a priority!   ‌ The biggest difference, the unselfish difference, is that your health is the key to a happy, healthy family. ## ANDDDDD You are the key to a happy, healthy family ‌ Mama, if you are reading this or listening to this and thinking, “How freaking selfish would I be to drop thousands of dollars on a health program that only benefited me?” Then, listen up because what I'm about to say is exactly what you need to hear. ‌ You are the one responsible for teaching your family about food and health. As the mama, you are the one primarily responsible for feeding your family. Sure, your husband is also responsible for these things, but mamas have a special purpose to lead and raise their kids. ‌ If you don't know how to make healthy choices for yourself, how are you supposed to raise healthy kids? You can't! Right? ‌ You can't teach or model what you don't know and understand! ‌ But what if you had the tools and knowledge to take care of your health while helping your family learn healthy principles too? ‌ That's how you change not just your kids' lives, but your grandkids' and great-grandkids' lives. ‌ I want to share two stories with you of mamas who joined my Macros Made Easy program scared to death to spend money on themselves and what they learned from the program that has improved not just their health, but their family's lives as well! ‌ First up is Stacey.   ‌ “On February 25, 2021, I took the first step and said enough is enough and I am going to do something about it. I didn't like the way my postpartum body looked and hated taking family pictures, I always tried to hide behind a kid or my husband. With 2 kids in club soccer at 6 practices a week, a hubby assistant coaching, me co-managing a team and a 4-month-old baby at home, I decided to focus on myself and get healthier for my family. ‌ I wanted to show up for them in ways that I couldn't before. I wanted to get healthy for my new baby that was going to keep me running around and be able to keep up with him. The investment was huge and I immediately felt the mom guilt creep in as soon as I said yes, but that is also what kept me going.   ‌ I wasn't going to let my husband down who worked hard to pay for this and I wasn't going to let my coach down who had faith in me and was taking her time to teach me the way and cheer me on along the way. ‌ I set a huge goal of losing 50 pounds. To be honest, I didn't think it was realistic at first and thought, well, if I get close then I will be happy. ‌ Well, guess what?! ‌ 5 months and 4 days later, I finally hit my goal! I lost a whopping 50 pounds. I am ecstatic! I have learned so much along the way and had so many non-scale victories. The rewards have been fun and I've learned to love to work out.   ‌ A huge thank you to Krista Moreland from KmoreMacro for leading the way and walking me through this process. To my husband who chose to invest in me and my health for the sake of our kids and family.” ‌ I love that Stacey's family was so supportive of her investing in her health! That mom guilt has since gone away as Stacey has helped her boys learn more about health, nutrition and exercise! Now she and her son go to the gym together! Isn't that amazing? ‌ Next up is, Suzanne. When Suzanne finished the program she gave me a list of the changes that she had made during the program and I want to share just a few with you. ‌ Before Macros Made Easy - I had no idea where to begin when it came to feeding myself and my family- I felt like I was either starving or stuffed  - I felt like taking care of myself was selfish- Spending $3,000 on myself made me feel like I was going to vomit- I had no idea how working on food and feeding myself would clear the mental space and create more peace in my life ‌ After Macros Made Easy - I recognize when I need to eat and know that there is no reason to get hangry- I know taking care of myself creates healthy ripples that serve everyone in my life- Spending money on myself is just as justifiable as spending money on anyone else in the family- I feel energized and empowered- I feel a sense of control and even when really hungry I can figure out what to eat to almost immediately feel better so I can make better choices about our next meal ‌ Suzanne also talked to me about how much easier it has been to feed her family! Before she learned about nutrition she was making multiple meals to accommodate different people's tastes and now she makes one meal that her family can modify to fit their taste buds and nutritional needs.   ‌ Mama, if you want that family that sits down to dinner and eats a healthy meal together, then you need to figure out how to create that! You need to invest in your nutritional education so that you can lead your family to health and happiness. It starts with you! Don't let your family stay stuck because you think spending money on yourself is selfish. ‌ I know that things are more expensive than ever right now. That the economy keeps going up and down but if we learned one thing over the last few years, it's that our health is our most important commodity! The whole world shut down when we thought we would lose our health! Don't shut your world down anymore. Don't hold yourself back from experiencing all that life has to offer because you physically can't! ‌ Schedule a free discovery call today to start your health journey.

In this episode, we learned a lot about the process of pregnancy and how the unknowns and complexities of it inspired our guest, Jessica Ann, to start her company, The Happy Mama Place. She shared how her services help individuals and couples find peace and comfort in their pregnancies through a variety of holistic practices and Doula support. This was not only an educational episode, it was motivational to hear her drive in building a business while being a mom.  If you or someone you know wants to be featured in our next podcast, message us on Facebook! Until next time, keep Eatin', Drinkin', and Shoppin' Local.To learn more about Tha Happy Mama Place, visit their Facebook and website. 

At the beginning of the year, many of us make resolutions that, unfortunately, often end up forgotten. A lot of these resolutions include implementing good habits and new routines. So I invited my friend and Organization Coach, Ana Alice from @nanaorganise, to help us implement routines and keep up with them in the long run. In this episode, we'll see what is a routine, the advantages of implementing routines, how to successfully implement them, and how to maintain them in the long term.   Where to find Ana Alice: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nanaorganise/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/nanaorganise Guide gratuit maison organisée et rangée: www.nanaorganise.com/guide Formation vidéo “Organise ta maison” : www.nanaorganise.com Playliste routines: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZKe-e9N2rIxs9GQ0-A8l6mavpXkQNbuz Vidéo être organisée grâce aux routines: https://youtu.be/FM55Xbbadu0 Podcast, Happy Nana, Happy Mama (charge mentale): https://open.spotify.com/episode/2NRHEGU7KGmJ3WNHIqtAtb?si=ad9a8a7047554d67   Access the Zenly Organized Library and all its free resources: https://bit.ly/zolibrary Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zenlyorganized/ Episode transcript: https://www.zenlyorganized.com/post/routines   Music by La Musique Libre Ikson - Lighthouse: https://youtu.be/oH2M9vXknbE Ikson: https://soundcloud.com/ikson

How the hell are you always so happy? I get asked this, or some version of this, all the time. I figured I would address it and see if I can shed some light on why I am the way I am. Generally I am an incredibly happy person. This boggles a lot of people’s minds- how is that even possible? Do you ever get upset? Are you ever not smiling? The answer to all of those is yes, BUT the majority of the time I am a happy, smiley person. I’ve been this way my whole life and I attribute a lot of it to my Dad. His attitude about things, his desire to look for the good instead of the bad, his undying support for his family… He has always been the most positive and optimistic person that I know. One of the best and most profound things he ever said to me was to have a PMA- a Positive Mental Attitude. It’s your choice of how you react and what your attitude about things will be. For whatever reason, it stuck and I have always looked on the bright side of things. I share a couple of stories about my "how am I so happy" journey, so give it a listen and let me know your biggest takeaway! Send me a DM on IG @livingjoyfulandwellThe doors to The LJW Collective - a private membership for MOMS- is opening on May 19! I have a vision of awesomeness for us as Moms to have an amazing community to support each other, learn some cool stuff, grow as Moms and as individuals, have fun, and thrive throughout our motherhood journey. If you’ve listened to me or know me at all, you know that I have a passion for supporting other Moms, not competing with each other, and for allowing all of us to just be who we are- messy, silly, made up, makeup free, fancy, or casual- it doesn’t matter! We just need a community of like-minded, supportive, freaking fantastic Mamas to stick together through thick and thin and help make this journey through life amazing. I announced The LJW Collective in a BONUS episode, so if you are interested in hearing more, check out the episode- BONUS: Announcement episode from April 30!  If you’re excited to hear more and in being a Founding Member of The LJW Collective,  get on the waiting list HERE and be the first to hear all about it on May 19! Enjoy the Day!!!

Oh the best-intentioned wishes and hopes we hold for our children!It's part of the surrender of motherhood, isn't it?We hope our children will be happy and healthy, but in actual fact, we have a pretty clear idea on what that looks like.And it's no different for ourselves.Have you ever thought that the key to loving your child just as they are, and accepting whatever it is they want to do with their life, begins with loving and accepting yourself?Yes, it sounds obvious - but nothing this week's podcast guest says is obvious.Laurie Gerber is a head coach for the Handel Group - one of the world's leading coaching groups.And she's a mama who's been through a lot of her own inner identity work to come to the place of true surrender and acceptance of herself - and her children.This conversation will have you letting go of the perfectionism you're holding for everyone in your life a little more, and invite you to see:you do you, and let them be them.And if you want to dive into the Handel method, get Inner.U LIFE for just $325 with your coupon.

This month is all about how we, mamas, can fuel our body with nutrient-rich food, hydrate daily, exercise, and find mental and spiritual peace.Whether you have a newborn, 5 year old, or an 18 year old…we give ourselves fully to provide for our children…often at the cost of putting our own well-being aside.The thing is…at some point…we will reach our peak of exhaustion, get sick, snap at our kids, and age faster due to poor nutrition…lack of water…lack of exercise…stress…and poor sleep.We have to take care of ourselves...and it starts TODAY!Resources:The Whole Mamas FB Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2787115248231643FASTERway to Fat Loss:  https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/#thewholemama Kelly's next round starts on March 1, 2021Trim Healthy Mama:  https://trimhealthymama.com/Wholesome Baby Food:  https://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/baby-food-recipes.htmSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thewholemama)

So if we accept we're not meant to do this alone, then why don't we ask for more help? If we understand, on a conscious level, that the Motherload and the Third Shift is unfair and unbalanced, then why don't we speak up more often and lean on those around us? This is something I've been contemplating a lot lately. I've needed more help in my own life over the past few months, and I've also been witnessing and observing the women around me struggle to lean on others. And what I've seen is - it's more than just "I should be able to do this myself." There's the worry of your children being seen as difficult; There's the concern that your kids are too much;There's different disciplines and approaches. In other words, the reasons we don't ask for help run deep... and if we're ever going to stop this Superwoman addiction, we're going to have to shine a light on them - which is exactly what I do in this episode.

Balance is all BS, right? We're mamas and women, we've chased that dream and realised it was a pipe dream. Right? It seems many of us are still not 100% clear on this. Even though we've heard the stats and know the reality, many of us are still believing that if we worked harder, got more organised, woke earlier or finally started meditating, we might find that balance we were promised. Enter Felicity Harley, mama to three and another former 'superwoman'. Felicity has dived deep into our belief system of why we think Balance is possible, and what we do to ourselves in our pursuit of it. And in this interview, she shares her own insights and experience, as well as the answers she has discovered along the way into what it really means to be a happy mama and woman in this time of our life. 'Balance and other BS' by Felicity Harley is published by Allen & Unwin.

Jessica originally went to school to be an accountant - she's got a knack for numbers. But somewhere along the way, her plans changed and she became a Doula. A Doula acts as the support team for an expecting, delivering, and post-partum mother, and father too. The role of a Doula can dramatically improve the process of childbirth and the months after the baby is delivered. Jessica talks about becoming a Doula, some of her own childbirth experiences, and the importance of food and nutrition to a new mother. You can find Jessica online at www.thehappymamaplace.com

We're meant to gather in a village, hearing from the elders, passing down our own knowledge and receiving wisdom from others. But we've lost that village - and that wisdom. So, what happens when you move through motherhood without an understanding of what's happening to you, and how you are changing? And what happens when you get to the other end of motherhood - your children leaving home and space finally opening up for your own dreams - if you haven't had the understanding of matrescence along the way? It is my great pleasure in sharing this interview with mama and, in my mind, elder Jean Dawkins. Jean is a mama of a daughter now in college, and is a reminder to us all that it's really never too late to explore how motherhood has changed you... and discover who you really are. You can follow Jean's wisdom on instagramAnd join us both, and many many more, in Returning Home - The Village here.

As lockdowns begin to change around the world, and as isolation rules slowly begin to ease, there is a call for us all to return to 'normal' life. But what if the 'normal' we were living isn't what we want anymore? What if, during these weeks of isolation, we've liked slowing down, saying no to all those extra curricular activities?And what if, now we've slowed down, we resist the rush back to normal? In this episode, I speak with one of my favourite business mama in Australia - Alisha Lynch from the Naughty Naturopath Mum. As you'll hear in this episode, Alisha is so much fun. She brings a joy and lightness to health and healing - and life - that is much needed. But she also has seen, through many years of supporting women and mamas, the serious side affects of stress, overwhelm and burn out. She knows all too well how important it is that we let ourselves unhook from the busy-ness, and allow ourselves to move at a different pace. If you'd like to be a part of the 6 month Returning Home membership - an online village and support network to ensure you really do return to the world changed after all of this - join Alisha, me and many others here. We start on the 11th May. And you can get Alisha's special Mother's Day pack, including the bonus self-care cards, click here.

Pregnancy and childbirth can bring its own special type of worry - so much of what is to come is unknown. In fact, in many ways, preparing for birth is a lot like preparing for motherhood: a daily practice of surrendering the need to know, and trusting your instincts.But pregnancy and birth in the time of isolation, lockdown and infection brings a whole new level of unknown.In this special CALMCAST episode, I speak with Australia's leading birth educator, Nadine Richardson, from SheBirths.In this episode, we speak about what you can do to prepare, no matter what's going on in the world, how to talk to your partner and birthing team, and how to trust yourself as a capable mama-to-be.To explore SheBirths world leading birth education and support, go to SheBirths website, and enter the code happymama10 to receive 10% off the full online program.

These are uncertain times... but there are answers for us, mamas.There may not be answers for when this will be over, and what the greater effect will be, but there are answers that can bring peace, hope, and resilience.For the coming weeks, and as long as we all need it, I am going to be increasing the Happy Mama Movement Podcast to two times a week, bringing you content that will inspire you, reassure you, and give you ideas and support.Think of it as a pop-up radio station, especially made for mamas with children young children during the COVID-19 pandemic.They will be known as the CALMCAST episodes.Today, I am bringing you an interview with Beth Berry, creator of Revolution from Home and mama to four girls. When this pandemic became known, Beth was one of the first mamas I thought of - because surely if we ever needed a revolution from home, this is the time.In this episode, Beth shares her views of what's happening, and how we can care for ourselves as mamas during this time. Her calm approach, and her insight into honouring the mess of it all right now, was soothing to my soul - I hope it is for you too.You can find more of Beth's resources and inspirations at Revolution from Home. And if you would like more support, more community, live meditations and classes to support you through this time, please take a look at my pop-up membership, Returning Home.

My conversation with Jennifer Prensky: Being able to transform yourself and then help others transform themselves is truly inspirational. Over the past two years, Jennifer lost weight, gained fitness, gained confidence and became way more comfortable in her own skin. THEN, Jennifer became a certified Optavia health coach where she uses her own journey and her training to inspire and help others. I've seen Jennifer at work. She is nurturing, knowledgeable and empathetic. Her clients benefit from that to become better versions of themselves. To top things off, Jennifer is a single mom. Her transformation has helped her become a more active and engaged mother. Both she and her son are benefiting from the transformation!!

Lieve luisteraar, na 10 afleveringen en bijna een halfjaar Happy me Happy mama vond ik het hoogtijd om mezelf eens aan jullie voor te stellen. En wat is er nu een mooiere manier om dit te doen dan door zelf geïnterviewd te worden over mijn reis door het moederschap?In de vorige aflevering interviewde ik Evi Dekker - Weger. Maar op de dag dat dat interview plaatsvond interviewde ik niet alleen haar, zij heeft mij ook geïnterviewd voor haar podcast: de True Mom Show. En in dit interview vertelde ik openhartig over mijn postnatale depressie. Niet alleen vertelde ik hoe dit is ontstaan en hoe ik het heb ervaren, maar vooral hoe ik ervan ben hersteld en het tevens mijn kijk op het moederschap heeft veranderd. En in deze aflevering krijg je de kans om dit interview met mij te beluisteren, om zo iets meer een inkijkje te krijgen in het gezicht achter Happy me Happy mama!

Early motherhood brings a total shift of focus - from you as a woman and a partner, to Mother. We get that. We know that’s part of the process.But after a while, you begin to realise that maybe, just maybe, you need to start shifting that focus back onto yourself a little - and your relationship. How do you reunite again, after being so focused on being a mama? How does the massive shift inside you translate to how you feel about your partner? Over the years, the strain of trying to be Super Woman and juggle all the things began to show in my relationship. There were many times when I was filled with resentment that I was the one who shouldered so much. We both did our best, but it wasn't what it should be. And I didn't know how to reconnect in a new way. That is, until a simple sentence explaining what we, as women, really need began to change it all. In this episode, I honestly share how things have changed in my relationship, and invite you to join in a special short online course to redefine your relationship - in a very powerful way. Join REUNITE before 31st October, and join for a special one hour coaching call (two timezones available) to talk through how your relationship is evolving. All the details are here.

There’s nothing quite like a new baby to turn your world upside down. Babies are born to feed, not sleep, ergo new mums don’t get much sleep. Then there can be post-labour body aches and pains, and the stress of working out (very quickly) how to keep a small human alive and well. Amy Taylor-Kabbaz is a life coach and author of Happy Mama- the guide to finding yourself again. She gives us some very easy tips and tricks on supporting yourself through the first months of motherhood.

Yes, there is a WORD that describes the transition from maiden to mother. The depths of transformation that a woman experiences once she becomes a mother knows no bounds, limitations or a time-frame. And it is a rite of passage that is just as important and powerful as any other - birth, death, adolescence, menstruation, marriage. But it is not a passage that is honoured nearly enough. In Episode 010 I chat with the incredible Amy Taylor-Kabbaz from Happy Mama who shares with us Matresence - the transitory experience as we our identify complete shifts and the old girl/woman falls away. It is a mind blowing conversation filled with powerful insights, a new paradigm, and a wisdom that will hold you through motherhood.

For Anna, it was more a feeling than anything:on paper, she had the life she wanted, but when it came to what was happening behind closed doors, she was drowning.She yelled at her kids.She wasn't the wife she wanted to be.She really didn't know who she was, or how to get out of this hole.4 Months ago, when Anna and I first jumped on a call together, I could see how overwhelmed and broken she was. As she explained to me:"Motherhood threw me for six, and I didn't know how to fix it.""Nothing material changed, but everything has changed."This is what happens when we start to really show up for this, .We stop yelling and become the mama we want to be.We forgive ourselves and those around us.We have the tools to cope with whatever comes our way.We KNOW that no matter what, we'll never ever go back to who we were again.Anna's story is possible for us all.When you surround yourself with the most divine group of mamas, and show up as best you can each day, things will change - it is impossible for them NOT to.No matter where you are in your motherhood story, you can take the smallest steps to begin your own healing. And if you want to explore whether a 4 month program, like my Divine Life, is right for you, here are the details. It closes on the 6th of June, and places are strictly limited.

How do you find peace with parts of this mamahood journey that aren't so joyful and happy? What if you feel a sense of sadness or anger that it seems so much easier for others? How exactly do you live with grace? These are the questions author and mama Cathy Spooner had to face when she realised that deep down inside, she was not happy. On the outside, she should have been - she had all she'd dreamed about. but somewhere underneath it all, there was a sense of loss too. A loss of herself, and a loss of some of the core joyful moments of early mamahood. In this beautiful interview, Cathy shares her story of post-natal depression and darkness, and how she has found her way back to herself - her true self. Grace, and what it really means on a daily basis, has helped her put rock-solid self-care practices into her life, and has guided her to realise that even when it's nothing like you want it to be, motherhood is the making of you.

If only it were as easy as listening to a podcast, and ... that's it.⁣⁣Your thoughts are changed. ⁣⁣Your energy is cleared, your old stories of not being good enough, your beliefs that you should be doing more, transformed.⁣If only.⁣⁣Every single day for the past decade, I have committed to myself and my family that I will do my best:⁣⁣my best for them, and for me.⁣⁣I know you feel the same - ⁣⁣you don't want to unconsciously walk through this time - this beautiful stage of motherhood ​​​- with your eyes closed. ⁣⁣But how? ⁣⁣How do we keep showing up each day, doing our best? ⁣⁣Today, I have a podcast with a difference to share with you: ⁣⁣it's not an interview with a global expert on motherhood or womanhood.⁣⁣This time, it's actually a recording of a video I did earlier this year to share a new tool I have brought into that daily commitment to be my best.​​​​​​​​⁣⁣It’s something new for my Happy Mama tribe - and I share it with you as yet another invitation to ask: ⁣How am I going to support myself to show up as my best?⁣You can learn more about essential oils and how I'm sharing and using them here.

If we want to work, does that mean we value motherhood less?And if we suddenly find ourselves reprioritising our career plans to be with our little ones while they are still little, does that mean we have given up on our ambition?Can we make decisions on what we most want at this time of our life without the judgement of what it actually 'means'?For so long, we've been told that we have a choice: one or the other. One means we love being a mum, and the other means we love our job. And these 'competing devotions', as author and professor of gender and sociology, Mary Blair-Loy describes it, often make us feel stuck.In this episode, I share how this realisation that I couldn't have both (and what I believed that meant for me) has affected me, and how we can all start to look at our own competing devotions, and decide for ourselves what we really want right now.

Amy Taylor-Kabbaz started her career as a journalist at the ABC, working her way up from producer and news reader in regional South Australia to senior producer at ABC Sydney. When Amy started a family though, everything changed. Today we are going to hear about how she made that change from her media career to now Editor and Creator of Happy Mama Magazine, Author of best selling book Happy Mama: 'the guide to finding yourself again’, and host of the Happy Mama Movement podcast. She is passionate about spreading the much needed message of matrescence which involves all the complexities that are often ignored when a woman transitions into motherhood. Every mama needs to hear this, I had many a goosebump moment in this interview as there are some very powerful messages within it.You can find out more about Amy here: https://www.happymama.com.au/

We think falling pregnant will be easy;We have a very clear idea of what the birth will look like;We believe we know exactly how it will be when we return to work;We have the perfect vision for our perfect families:And of course, motherhood shows us life can be very very different.So how do we navigate the great expectations we have of this time in our life, with the reality that we are faced with?Naomi Woolfson is a mama of two who has had her fair share of 'great expectations' - especially around the process of becoming a mama. But with each challenge comes an opportunity, and in this interview, Naomi shares how she has learnt to detach herself from the 'noise' in her head, find her true self, and come out of the 'hibernation of early motherhood'.Naomi is a mum of two and inspires and supports women on their journeys to and through motherhood.Embrace Fertility was birthed from her journey through infertility, IVF and miscarriage. Naomi started blogging about the anxiety and depression she was experiencing and the relief she found from bringing mindfulness into her life.She retrained as a cognitive hypnotherapist and offers a range of Hypnosis MP3s and online courses including hypnobirthing.She has recently started a podcast - More Mojo for Mums - which is an open and honest account of bringing mindfulness to life with young children.

I used to think I would just tac motherhood onto my life - as if it would be another role on top of all I do. I'd go back to who I was - at work, in my relationship, with my body and health - just with the added bonus of a baby, or three!What I didn't know then, but I know now, is... we never go back. Every part of our lives is changed with motherhood - that's what matrescence is all about. But, if we're not aware of this, we can feel like we've lost a part of ourselves, and we grieve what used to be.Are we allowed to grieve our old lives?Are we even allowed to admit that we wish it was like it used to be?Yes, of course. In fact, grieving the changes in your life is a very important step - no matter where you are in motherhood.In this episode, I share a simple and practical exercise we can all do to help acknowledge the significant changes that we are going through, and become OK with the loss of who we used to be.Listen, and share with me how you went with it.I'd love to hear.

How does something like mindfulness actually help us as mothers? When so many of us just want to be calmer and more present when we're with our children, how does something like a mindfulness practice actually help? Sometimes, understanding the science behind something can be the key to actually sticking to it. You can see the need for healthy food and exercise, but once you understand what it does to your brain and body, it becomes obvious that this has to be a part of your life. Once you've heard Dr Elise Bialylew explain the science behind mindfulness - in a really down to earth way - you'll feel the same about mindfulness. Being aware of your thoughts is one of the keys to being a Happy Mama. Knowing the tools to reach for when it's all getting too much is absolutely one of the first steps to being the mama you want to be. In this episode, mama and founder of Mindful in May, Dr Elise Bialylew explain how she discovered this truth, how and why it works, and what we can all start doing now to be more mindful, calm and connected. And if you want to try 5 days of FREE mindfulness practice to really start to see how this would support you, click here to join the amazing free 4 day program, along with thousands of other mamas around the world, starting APRIL 8th.

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.

So many of us want to slow down, be more present, calm and connected. We crave a different life right now, feeling a pull within to make big changes. And then... nothing much changes. Our inner world does not really align to what we're doing in the outer world. But it is this inner and outer disconnected that is causing so much struggle. It's what mamahood - and the transition we all go through as we move through this time in our life - is all about. It's about realising that we want things to be different - and now's our chance. But how? How do we align what we are feeling inside with what we have in reality? Zoe Gameau is a mama, actress, change-agent and curator of the most amazing events. Since mamahood, she has been committed to bringing her values into her world - for herself, and her family. In this episode, she shares how to begin to align with what you most desire, what she learnt through the power of sitting in Circle, and why she now wants to bring this powerful space to all mamas.

Two years ago, at an event I held in Melbourne, one very brave mama stood up from the back row and asked a question that changed her life. It was a true sliding doors moment: when one decision leads to a whole new way of living.Sarah is a mama of three, and is the epitome of what I am trying to bring to light with this podcast and all my work. Through the darkness of post-natal depression, health concerns and isolation, she has found her way back to herself - and beyond. She has created a new self, a woman she is proud of, and is now sharing this with the world.Sarah is the first of my new style of episodes in which I talk to 'everyday mamas' about their transition through matrescence - and I am truly honoured to share her story with you.You can find Sarah's amazing affirmation card company, The Affirmation Farm - a little company dedicated to hope, joy, resilience, mindfulness and positive reinforcement, through the use of affirmation cards which she founded after her commitment to her inner connection and happiness - on Etsy, Facebook and Instagram.

"What have you shut down to get the family you desired, Amy?"That was the question that stopped my heart. The moment it was asked, I knew the answer: I had shut down a very big part of who I was in the belief that I could not have both. I could not have that and be the mama, partner, sister, daughter, woman I desired to be. They simply were not compatible. We do this a lot. As women, we shut parts of ourselves down in the mistaken belief that we can't be something AND be the mama or woman we need to be right now. But although life is all about compromises - especially when you have small children - shutting down a core part of yourself is never the answer. There has to be a way to honour ALL of you, even in the smallest ways, even in the middle of motherhood. In this episode, I share what happened when I was asked this question recently. And what we can all do about calling back in that part of us we have long given up on.

Spontaneity, freedom, travel - what's that again?That's what the early years of motherhood can feel like at times. The free spirited part of our solves - the woman who ran with the wolves - can sometimes feel completely missing from our now parenting-focused worlds.But to completely dismiss a whole part of ourselves - a part that we used to thrive on - is to deny a core part of what makes us happier. And whilst motherhood, especially the early years, does require some major rethinking of what living a wild and free life looks like, we must find a way to rewild motherhood in our own way.That's what writer, artist, and mama to two Geordie Bull has has to do. With the arrival of her second baby came a dark time in her life. Juggling two children meant no time to paint or be present with her older daughter, and she felt herself get lost in the dark thoughts and overwhelm. Since then, she has been on her own inner adventure - to 'rewild' motherhood, and herself.You can follow Geordie's rewilding adventure on Instagram. And if you want to see a picture of the tattoo I refer to in this episode, you'll have to follow Happy Mama with Amy on FaceBook or Instagram!

Today we are talking all things health, wellness, and body image. Between You've Got This, Healthy Mama in the submission phase and all of the content that is flying around out there, there is an amazing number of mamas who are experts on this topic. We are excited to have Mona Sharma and Tara Butterwick here with us to discuss all things mindset, health, and wellness. Mona is a mama x2, Holistic Nutritionist, yoga instructor, and Meditation/Wellness Coach. Her passion is to help her clients discover their unique path to feeling healthy, energized and beautiful; both inside and out. After leaving her high-powered, high-stress, corporate role in the luxury beauty industry, she turned her attention to her healing. She recovered from two heart surgeries, chronic anxiety, and long-term hormone imbalance and quickly discovered that she was in control of how she could feel and heal her body. Her global clientele includes CEO's, professional athletes and celebrities, working with each of them to optimize their fitness, health and overall well being.       Tara is a certified personal trainer and mama motivator helping thousands of women embrace postpartum fitness through her popular blog and well-known alias TopKnot Mommy. She focuses on positive living, allowing mamas to be fit healthy and real. She's changed the game of “post-baby body” image and continues to inspire and motivate women all over Canada and the US. She is also an upcoming contributor in You've Got This, Healthy Mama and mama to two littles. When it comes to postpartum health and wellness, everything comes down to mental health and mindset. Mona takes us through the direct correlation between your mindset and the thoughts that you have and the impact that it has on your body and your cells. As she points out, there is very little talk about it. As women when we go into pregnancy, we are very aware of the risk of postpartum depression. After doing some research, Mona found out that postpartum depression can last up to seven years after birth. This is something that is not widely publicized and can affect so many mamas. She recommends taking a global look at how you are feeling, how are you fuelling your mind and your body? She advises to put warm, soothing food in your body and steer clear of packaged goods; this will help at a cellular level. From a mindset standpoint, gratitude is so important. Mona acknowledges that it has been very popular on social media (#gratitude) and almost overused term, but she challenges are we stopping and embracing what gratitude is? Here is an exercise she uses: Every morning when you wake up, go through the ‘movie reel' in your head of what you are grateful for. It doesn't have to be about the ‘things', it can be about the feelings you have, the enjoyment you get from drinking your morning coffee, the sun coming up, it being warm outside, the people you are going to see that day, the new underwear you have that might make you feel sexy, whatever it is...the simple things that put you in a state of gratitude. She guarantees that these are the things that will change your state, and when you can change your state right from waking up in the morning, that's going to impact the rest of your day. Another practice she uses is throwing on her favorite song that makes her feel happy in the morning while cooking breakfast or going to work out. She guarantees that if you do this, change your state from the get-go, you will be amazed at the difference in your day. She assures that it will not only affect you but your family as well. As a mom, we have these expectations of ourselves, we are always chasing the: ‘I'll work out next week' or ‘I'll start the diet tomorrow.' The ladies discuss that it does not always have to be a big 2-hour workout ordeal, it can be a walk here or 20 minutes of strength training ther...

On my recent trip to the United States, I spent an afternoon at The Motherhood Center, New York. And as I walked through the door, and saw the support they offered to mamas, I was immediately taken back to the first days of mamahood again: scared, overwhelmed, and desperate for the daily support I received at my local hospital. Years on, I still have days of craving that support. I still feel like, at times, I have no idea what I'm doing and wish I could walk through the doors of a beautiful Centre filled with wise women, get a cup of tea, and listen and learn. Lean on them. Feel safe.In this episode, I talk about the need for ongoing support for all of us as mamas and women, and where we can get it - even now, no matter where you are.

When I became a mother 11 years ago, 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 honour 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 honoured 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 35 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 profound and lasting transformation.Now a best selling author and again, a world renowned speaker and seminar leader, Debra has taken the idea of success to a whole new level as she has given birth to The New Success Revolution.

Life with little ones is anything but predictable. When our whole world is at the mercy to our children, our environment, and our to-do list, many of us tip into control-mode to try and get through. When we can't control what's happening in our day, we end up trying to control the tiniest things - and burn ourselves out. Over the years, I have come to realise that I have very little control over anything in my life, except one thing: how I react. That's it. And whilst that can feel scary at first (what do you mean I have absolutely no control over how this is going to work out?), it is also quite liberating. So if you are finding yourself tipping into control mode - or it's cousins perfectionism and anxiety - then this episode is for you.

If I could use one word to sum up the struggles and challenges that I have faced over the past 10 years of motherhood, it would be: identity. Who am I now I am a mother? Who am I now so many parts of my independence and freedom have changed? How do I be a partner and a mother when so much of my life was about everything BUT these roles? As I have shared in earlier episodes, I have recently discovered the study of 'matrescence': the transition from women to mother. Since then, I have been on the hunt to understand it more, and how we might move through this change with more grace and ease. Which has brought me to Dr Catherine Birndorf, the co-founder and medical director of The Motherhood Centre, New York. Dr Birndorf is one of the few in the world leading the conversation about motherhood in this way: that we must start looking at what happens to a woman's identity during the early motherhood years if we are to truly honour and support mothers. And if you'd like to join my R E D E F I N E 40 Day Program to look at your identity now you are in the motherhood years, we start 4th November. Sign up here.

We can't have it all - that's the belief of writer, mama and creativity mentor Anna Lovind. And after trying to have it all, and witnessing hundreds of mamas do the same, I agree. Anna is a mama who, at her very core, is a creative spirit, but when motherhood and the realities of two small children came along, she felt that she lost who she was. At her core, she didn't know how to be herself within her new family. And so for a time, she couldn't. This episode is a beautiful insight into the importance of fierce priorities - of knowing that we might not be able to have it all, but we can have what we want the most. As long as we are clear on what that is. You can read more of Anna's beautiful reflections on motherhood, creativity and life at her website, or follow her on instagram.

As we change and adapt to how we are going to juggle all the roles in our lives right now, so too do the people around us. Sometimes, that change is easy - our relationship grows with us, and our friendships evolve alongside our lives. But often, this is not the case. Our partners can feel ignored and angry about the changes in our relationship and intimacy. Our friendships can feel empty and lonely now our interests have so dramatically changed. And we can feel like we need to apologise, or even hide, how we are changing to keep everything the same. In this episode, I speak about the importance of not holding ourselves back out of fear of what others will say or do. I talk about the fact that where we are right now is the start of a whole new chapter in our life, and that chapter may need new characters and plot lines. And that's OK. We are changing, and the people around us need to know that too. We just need to accept that change within ourselves first, so we can bring in the right people and support for this next chapter.

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. You can read more about Alexandra's amazing work at Luminous Woman.

This is an episode with a difference. For ten years, Amy has been exploring what happens when a woman becomes a mother: the transition, the changes, the loss of self and the gain of a new self, and how we can move through it all without burn out or anger. Recently, she's discovered something that brings it all together, and brings the pieces of the puzzle together: Matrescence. The anthropological term to describe the complete transformation a woman goes through when she becomes a mother, and she continues to go through for years to come.This podcast is the recording of a Facebook Live Amy recently held on the topic, which has become her most popular so far. It is a real and honest conversation with other mamas about who we are as mothers and women, and how we can start to redefine ourselves, in our own way.The brand new R E D E F I N E 40 Day Practice - based on matrescence and the need for women to redefine themselves now they are mothers - starts Sunday 16th September. Join here.

Looking back at the start of her motherhood journey, Amy can now see that things might have been very different if someone had told her it was OK she felt completely lost. Not lost about the day-to-day reality of a new baby, but lost within herself. Lost about who she was now, lost in her place in the world. Would it have been different if someone had said to her - "it's OK. You're meant to feel like that. This is a new you, too"?In this episode, Amy looks at how important it is for us to understand the transition we go through as women, and just how long that transition can take.

We're not getting enough rest - that much is obvious. We prioritise the housework, our emails and social media over sleep, and we worship busy-ness over slow living. Is it any wonder we're so burnt out and disconnected from what's important? But rest is not just a matter of getting more sleep - it's a shift in how we prioritise our lives. And that's takes courage. Karen Brody is a mama, playwright, author of 'Daring to Rest', and creator of the 'Daring to Rest Academy'. It is her life mission to share the phenomenal benefits of yoga nidra: the sleep of the yogi. After seeing first-hand the healing power of this ancient technique, she has been daring men, women and families all over the world to rethink rest.In this episode, Karen shares how yoga nidra works (it's more than that quick nap at the end of a yoga class), how to do it quickly and easily in your busy life, why women struggle so much to prioritise rest, and how feminism has caused us to push beyond our limits. You can read all about her work, and download a yoga nidra meditation to start your rest practice, at her website.And if you're struggling to switch off at the end of the day, you can also try Amy's very popular End of Day meditation here too.

Seamus Byrne of Science Alert and Amy Taylor-Kabbaz, founder of Happy Mama jump behind the mic to lay out the week that was for parents across the country. In this episode they join host Shevonne Hunt in discussing; My Health Record - should parents be opting out, should you discipline other people's children on play dates, how do you deal with the sheer amount of kids' toys overtaking your home, and when has your well-intentioned cooking turned into a complete disaster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is so much pressure on us as women and mothers. We are expected to juggle so much each day, and no one is acknowledging it. No one is giving is celebrating what we’re doing, or appreciating all it takes. And that’s mostly because we know that everyone else is doing the same.Everyone is in the same boat - doing the best they can each day.But if we don’t start to acknowledge what we do each day, and celebrate it, then the woman next to us won’t feel like she can celebrate what she’s done either. And the fact is, we’re not going to change how the world views motherhood and womanhood unless we change the way we view ourselves first.So how do we stop feeling like we’ve never done enough? How do we start to value who we are, and what we do? In this episode, Amy shares a daily practice that she uses to change the way she feels about all that she does, and acknowledges to herself - “I’ve done enough for now.”

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.

"Why can't I just allow myself to sit down and relax? Why do I always feel like I need to be doing more?" This was a question from a Happy Mama recently, and it prompted Amy to look at our addiction to busyness, and why we find it so hard to allow ourselves to just stop, and do nothing. Looking at what we believe about ourselves, and how we can begin to switch off that over-achieving part of our brain, Amy shares some simple steps to begin to slowdown - without the guilt. 

It's the ultimate love/hate relationship of modern times, isn't it? Our love of being connected, and our hate of being always connected. Hundreds of mamas have shared with me their struggles with social media: they feel addicted, they know it takes them away from their family, they don't know how to switch off. So how do we mindfully use this amazing tool without completely losing ourselves in it? How do we role model social media and our phones to our kids? Any why is it so hard, anyway? In this episode, Amy outlines the real reason you might find social media so addictive, and how to gently begin to recognise what it really means in your life. 

What would happen if we viewed everything - and I mean everything - in our lives as a gift? How would it feel to know that everything is working out for you, all of the time, no matter how tough it feels in the moment? This has been a life-changing shift in focus for Amy - and in this episode, she reflects on how to begin to have faith that all is working out for you, all of the time.

Meeting the needs of those we care about - kids, partner - and ourselves is a challenge! Amy Taylor-Kabbaz, life-coach, meditation teacher and author of Happy Mama, and a mum herself has some good tips!

Imagine you're a go-getting, ambitious woman, having completed all the 'right' studies and followed the 'right' path. You were ticking all the boxes. But then, something started to stir inside you, saying 'is this really it?' And once mamahood came along, that stirring turned into a calling. This is what happened for my two guests - Anna and Lindy from LovePoweredCo. Their story of work, mamahood and making a difference in the world is one that will make you think differently about it all too, and their affirmation cards for children will inspire you to think about what you're teaching your little ones. 

For the first episode of 2018, Amy Taylor-Kabbaz interviews her very first male guest on her podcast - father of six, positive psychology expert and author Justin Coulson. Moving beyond parenting skills, this is all about how to show up as the best you can and value your role as a mother.

Happy Mama's Day, ya'll. We're back at it again with a lady whose actions some really believe were malicious. I've laid out the facts for this one, so you decide for yourself. Was Mary a killer, a victim of the health care system, or both? Send some scary lady stories to this mama by emailing maliciousmamas@gmail.com and they might appear on the show! Please subscribe, download, and leave a review! It is all greatly appreciated. To see more follow @maliciousmamas on Instagram & Twitter. Enjoy and keep it real mamas.

In this episode, Amy talks about where the Happy Mama movement began, and what it's really about.  She talks about the unexpected curveballs that coloured her first few months of motherhood, and how breaking allowed her to let in the light. She speaks about the three things she believes all mamas need to feel connected, find out who they really are and see their own value without external validation.You can connect with Amy at www.happymama.com.au

Sustainable living can require a bit more effort than conventional living, especially when learning the ropes, as instead of grabbing the items of convenience we may instead choose to make our own household products and foods from scratch. If we’re not careful this can lead to overwhelm, burnout, resentment and chucking it all in or giving up entirely on creating a sustainable home. But it doesn’t need to be that way at all! It is possible to live sustainably, have time for work, friends, family, and yourself, and today I have a very special guest who’s going to explain why we need to put ourselves first in order to be able to create a sustainable home, and indeed a happy family. Amy Taylor-Kabbaz is the Happy Mama. She’s on a mission to help every new Mama she can feel connected to that strong, powerful, intuitive woman she glimpsed when she first became a Mama, but is now too tired and run off her feet to remember. She’s here to give you permission to put yourself first, to demand a happier life, to feel good about yourself, and to be a better Mama. The next round of her Reconnect program begins on 30th October 2016. Sign up here. This episode is especially for the mums listening today, but if you’re a stay-at-home dad or even just a father who would love to support the mother of your children a bit better, then there’s plenty of gold here for you too.

The Unexpected Birth Journeys series of Rockstar Birth Radio is about births that did not go exactly as expected. However, more importantly it is of mothers who have moved through their experience with grace and wisdom and an empowering message to share with you.  Amy Taylor-Kabbaz has had 3 very different birth experiences which she will share with us today including an empowered breech birth. Amy is a writer, broadcaster, mama of 3, and the gentle guiding force behind Happy Mama, a website dedicated to inspiring all of us on this journey through motherhood, by encouraging us to stay true to ourselves. You can find more of Amy’s Happy Mama goodness on her website, happymama.com.au, her Facebook page, and in her book Happy Mama: the guide to finding yourself again. 

In this episode you hear:  Amy's journey from working as a top producer in Australia to becoming a Boss Mom. How Amy's own search for mindfulness influenced her blog. How a pregnancy complication served as the catalyst to change in her life. The judgement factor all moms go through and how to over come it. The importance is having a tribe and give and take in relationships. The importance of self care and mindfulness in motherhood and business. Recommended links and resources:  Happy Mama: A Guide To Finding Yourself Again The book is my journey to becoming a Happy Mama. It focus on the six key areas to be a happy mama- kindness, strength, trust, grace, value, and mindfulness/connection. We do a lot of work on parenting, but we don't learn how to be a woman while we're mothering. This book is about finding yourself again. Can I quote you on that?  My daughter is one of my biggest teachers. - Amy When I was struggling with motherhood, the mommy blog scene was just starting. I needed more than this sucks, I need 3:00 pm wine. - Amy When I tapped into the idea that we don't have to put ourselves on hold, my blog started to really grow. I found my niche and voice. It flowed out of me and grew overnight. - Amy I decided I wasn't going to be all, my dreams had changed. I wanted to talk to moms about how to mums about how they could have real balance in their lives. - Amy I love to help women see the joy in the struggle of motherhood. - Amy I think there is a great power in women doing great things together. - Amy You can be a great mom, even when you're making different decisions that other moms are making about the same topic. - Dana You are the perfect mother for your children. No doubt about it. - Amy The more you surround yourself with community, the more every aspect of your life and business will grow and flourish. - Dana We need to surround ourselves with people who are not only taking, but also giving. It needs to be an equal relationship. - Amy The training wheels of my life fall off in all areas (motherhood and business) when I don't allow time and space for myself. - Amy In an ideal world, I get up a half hour to an hour before my kids do. I putter around, drink my coffee, open up the curtains and have a beautiful start to the day. It doesn't always happen, but it makes me so happy when it does. - Amy Moments of self care can come in pockets of time. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Just stop and reconnect to  yourself, what you're doing, and why you're doing it. - Amy In order to be mindful, you have to slow down. - Dana If we're not careful, we can be in business brain 24/7 and that leads to overwhelm. - Amy The more I invest in self care and myself, the more my business seems to do better. Because when I do step back into it, I'm refreshed, ready and full of great ideas. - Amy Someone recently asked me the best business investment I ever made. I told them that it was a program that helped me learn how to meditate and clear my energy. It was exactly what I needed to gain balance in my life. - Amy We think of ourselves and our business of being separate. But they're not. They're both our babies. - Dana You are an instrument that needs to be nourished. - Amy Your greatest asset in your business is you. YOU have to invest in yourself. - Amy
