A slightly different vibe for today's Storyshaped! We're sitting down with Rebecca Schiller - smallholder, parent, memoirist, creative writing teacher, neurodivergent person, and author, for a wonderful chat about her recent ADHD diagnosis, creativity (and permission to enter into creativity), parenthood, the art of writing a memoir, the beauty of children's literature, and how vital it is for children to feel empowered by the things they read. We also make some pit-stops along the way, where Rebecca traces the influence of some very important books, ones that shaped and affected the course of her life and career.

Linked episodes: 1.10a Jini Reddy, Magic in the Landscape 2.10a Marchelle Farrell, My Garden, My Teacher 4.2a Rebecca Schiller, Earthed 4.7a Benjamin Myers, Writing with the Land in ‘The Perfect Golden Circle' Hello! Welcome to your writing prompt for my conversation with Kathryn Aalto. I got a lot out of the chat with Kathryn and it was lovely to be able to catch up with her and go a little deeper into her own creative life and practice. For this prompt, I'm combining two ideas that came up in the conversation. Firstly, Kathryn's definition of ‘sense of place' and secondly her thoughts on ‘show don't tell.' Both of these concepts we covered in the course I took with Kathryn and the ‘show don't tell' technique is something I used to use a lot with my groups as a school teacher and still use now with my nature writing groups. Kathryn spoke of ‘sense of place' as being ‘That invisible layer of memories, history and emotions that covers a physical landscape with this invisible strata.' For this prompt, I'd like you to create a description of a place. This could either be a space new to you, or that you know well, a place in which you feel a sense of belonging. Perhaps it is a space close to where you live, somewhere you once visited, or somewhere you're new to. Wherever it is, you are going to take your reader there using the show don't tell technique. For this, you are avoiding telling your reader anything but are rather trying to show them it. For example, if you are in a woodland space, rather than telling them explicitly that that's where you are, show them that that's where you are. If you need any ideas, consider the following: How does the air feel? If you close your eyes, what sounds can you hear - close up and far away? What colours, shapes and shades catch your eye? Consider Kathryn's definition: what layers, memories, history and emotions exist in this place. Maybe you have no emotional connection to this place as yet, and aren't already aware of any history or memories held in the place. What comes through when you are here? What can you imagine about this place? When you read your work through, any sign of you telling me something, edit it to be more descriptive. Remember this is just an exercise in which you are training your descriptive muscles to be more perceptive, to create more detail and to entice your reader, inviting them into this world with you as their guide. Please do reach if you use this prompt. You can find me in my favourite online places - on the website, www.promptedbynature.co.uk and on Instagram @prompted.by.nature Happy writing! Helen x
Dear All, Rebecca Schiller is a gardener, a smallholding steward, an activist, and author of: A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention, A Memoir of Coming Home to My Neurodivergent Mind – about grounding back to land, place, and garden - even after a surprising diagnosis of severe ADHD. Schiller's writing and her gardening-life vividly reminds us all that being different doesn't have to mean broken – in our minds, our hearts, or our gardens. This narrative and this discussion remind us that it is the many ways in which we pay attention in this world that shows what and whom we value and everyone and everything for which we are thankful. And it is so very often our gardens that remind us not only of where we are but who we are. Listen in this week! Cultivating Place now has a donate button!

Rebecca Schiller's memoir Earthed was described by today's guest, Anna Young, as "like a car crash told in prose poetry". This is a beautiful book, in places not an easy read and one in which we both acknowledge that we "missed" the (in retrospect obvious) diagnosis in spite of thinking we were pretty good at our jobs in primary care.We talk about the healing power of nature, the importance of support and networks, and neurodiversity in a neurotypical world.October is ADHD awareness month https://www.adhdawarenessmonth.org/ so it was lovely to be able to mark that on the podcast with this episodeFollow Anna on Twitter https://twitter.com/annanursesheff
In this episode we speak to journalist, author and writing coach Rebecca Schiller. In 2017, Rebecca moved her family to a countryside smallholding for a life of sowing and growing. But the reality of managing a smallholding led to a mental health crisis and it was her work on the land that helped to save her. She writes about this in her memoir, Earthed. We talk to Rebecca about the craft of writing, the art of writing a memoir, writing truthfully about family and mental health, her ADHD diagnosis and writing practices that have helped her deal with her neurodivergence.*ABOUT REBECCA SCHILLERRebecca Schiller is the author of several books including Earthed, Your No-Guilt Pregnancy Plan and Why Human Rights in Childbirth Matter. Rebecca is also writing coach, and is the founder of the Mothers Who Write community and retreats: restorative, supportive and creative writing retreats for writers-who-happen-to-be-mothers.*QUOTES BY REBECCA:“There's a beauty in being vulnerable and not covering the things that we are taught to cover.”*RESOURCES:Connect with RebeccaTwitter: @schillerrrrrInstagram: @rebecca.schillerWebsite: rebeccaschiller.co.ukFor show notes, transcripts and to attend our live podcasts visit: podcast.londonwriterssalon.comFor free writing sessions, join free Writers' Hours: writershour.com*FOLLOW LONDON WRITERS' SALONTwitter: twitter.com/WritersSalonInstagram: instagram.com/londonwriterssalonFacebook: facebook.com/LondonWritersSalon*CREDITSMIxed by Victoria Spooner.

In this episode, campaigner and author, Rebecca Schiller and I explore the Boom and Bust cycle of hyperfocus and burnout that is so common for those living with ADHD. It's not yet part of the official criteria for diagnosing ADHD and yet it's come up time and time again when I talk to both experts and folks with ADHD. Boom and Bust – the idea that you go all out and then collapse in a heap. For me, it's always been something I've confused with being physically ill, being lazy, having anxiety or depression. Rebecca is an author, journalist and women's rights campaigner, and unbelievably so much more. A tireless advocate for the childbirth charity, Birthrights, as well as issues of inclusivity AND the founder of Mothers Who Write network and writers' retreats, all the while running a small-holding in Kent with her husband and two kids - Rebecca is busy. Her memoir, Earthed is all about how own journey of discovery following a diagnosis of ADHD. Rebecca shares the physical cost of masking to fit in, how self acceptance has to take into account the role society plays in our perception of our selves, and how shrinking our lives can be a long-term result of perpetual boom and bust. We talk about how to reclaim this cycle outside of the ‘neurotypical' paradigm, the impact of lockdown, and Rebecca reveals why certain aspects of boom and bust might be a great way for some people to work. Rebecca's book, Earthed is out in paperback now: https://uk.bookshop.org/books/earthed-a-memoir/9781783966394 And here is her platform created especially for mothers who write: https://motherswhowrite.co.uk/ She also references Marta Rose: https://martarose-neurodivergentcreators-com.ck.page/9d449add24 THE EXPERT Dr Mohamed Abdelghani is a consultant psychiatrist who specialises in mood disorders and adult ADHD. www.Dyad-medical.com Please note, your first port of call if you think you might have ADHD should be your GP.

In this writing prompt, Rebecca kindly reads from an extract of her novel 'Earthed.' Once you have listened to the extract, practise weaving two places together seamlessly. Much of what Earthed teaches me personally is the intertwining of stories and how, though a place may not be the one in which I am rooted, it is one in which I can find myself through my imagination and which can enrich my own experiences, shedding light on my own connection to the land. Rebecca reads from the section entitled 'August,' beginning with the line, 'I give into the thought that this oak of mine...' and ending with, '...giving death stares to the howler monkeys.' (Probably my favourite closing line!!) Please do share your words with me either by emailing me hello@promptedbynature.co.uk or messaging my on instagram @prompted.by.nature Happy writing! Helen x

Writer and campaigner Rebecca Schiller moved her family to a rural smallholding in the hope of a simpler life. But she soon found that life wasn't any simpler and was a damn sight harder in many ways. She has written movingly about how we can never escape ourselves – no matter how much we try – as well as her experiences with depression, anxiety, and living with undiagnosed ADHD until recently. Rebecca says now: ‘everyone – including me – wants neat and happy endings to stories of chasing a dream. Society encourages us to believe that we are one thing or the other: happy or sad, good or bad, right or wrong; that we must pick an angle'. But we're all beginning to understand that life is a little more complicated than that - and as Rebecca has also written: ‘nature is not a simple fix'. Here, we talk about: Neurodiversity and how it's misunderstood The positive aspects of having a ‘different' brain How at our lowest ebb, something profound shifts Rejection and learning to understand it Parenting and the importance of risk Being kinder to ourselves.

Rebecca Schiller is the author of four non-fiction books, a freelance journalist and the co-founder of the human rights charity Birth Rights. We take a dive into Rebecca's latest book Earthed - a memoir about returning to the land and how it refuses to follow the usual "good life" tropes and instead documents an unravelling of a woman whose problems follow her. Rebecca is also the founder of Mothers Who Write, which began life as in-person retreats for mothers who need to escape the everyday pressures of the domestic and get some clear headspace for writing. Rebecca talks a little about the future of Mothers Who Write which is now expanding into an online community that she hopes will not only support writers but help them earn an income too. We also go on quite important tangent on the difficulties writers face earning an income and how that can really impact on diversity in publishing. links https://uk.bookshop.org/a/6990/9781783965496 (Earthed - Rebecca Schiller) https://www.instagram.com/motherswhowrite/ (Mothers Who Write ) You can sign up for Mothers Who Write Mailing List https://rebeccaschiller.us20.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a4852dec151fb4a88e91b5140&id=3f68fb8f09 (here) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Born-Between-Crosses-Poetry-Prose-Collection/dp/1872229719 (Born Between Crosses - Natasha Carthew) https://uk.bookshop.org/a/6990/9781400221622 (We Should All Be Millionaires - Rachel Rodgers) You can find Rebecca Schiller on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/rebecca.schiller/ (@rebecca.schiller) Penny https://www.instagram.com/pennywincer/ (@pennywincer) Ali https://www.instagram.com/ali_millar_writes/ (@ali_millar_writes)

Doula and author Rebecca Schiller founded the human rights charity Birthrights and wrote the book Your No-Guilt Pregnancy Plan. In this episode, Rebecca revels why she quit her job to become a doula, and why she’s passionate about reminding new mothers that they still matter, and that if they’re struggling, it’s ok to ask for help. Rebecca explains how a doula can support women in the postnatal period, and how much you can expect to pay. She lists some fantastic resources, so please check the links below. She also discusses where to seek help if you feel that your hospital failed you during the birth, or if you need birth trauma support services. She highlights how important it is to say to a postnatal mother “how are you?” and, crucially, to then listen to the answer! As we always say, if you’re not satisfied with your GP, midwife or health visitor, keep going back until you meet someone that will listen to you.

Rebecca Schiller dedicates her story to her Nanny. Rebecca talks about how her Nanny was always super busy - something she has taken on herself and is sometimes a blessing and sometimes a curse. The post Inspiring Women Series : Rebecca Schiller appeared first on Clementine App.
In Sprogcast 37, Mark mansplains breastfeeding guilt to Karen. Karen claims to be married when she isn't. Rebecca Schiller tells us why the world needs another book about birth; and Maddie McMahon drives off into the sunset on her Boobie Bus.
Episode 30 is a change from our usual format, as September is proving such a busy month. Karen goes solo, and we revive one of our favourite interviews from episode 4: Rebecca Schiller of Birthrights, talking about risk in childbirth, a topic as relevant now as it was two years ago. Karen also talks about Pinter & Martin's new book Growing Up Pregnant by Deirdre Curley, and Mark drops in for a couple of minutes to big up the NCT presidential campaign.
In light of the backlash against Kate Hudson's comment (which I'm sure was entirely a joke but the reaction is definitely interesting) that the laziest thing she's ever done is to have a c section, I chat to the brilliant director of Birthrights, Rebecca Schiller. She has a MA in war studies. Yeah. Her passion for human rights and, after years of being a doula, she realised that there were some series issues around women, birth and human rights. After too many stories of women feeling a lack of power or respect she decided to do something about it. I highly recommend reading the articles on http://www.birthrights.org. uk. We aslo move, somehow, onto the subject of women being pigeon holed. The working mum, the organic mum, the stay at home mum. And how we get pitted against eachother. And wouldn't it be fun if we could just be women, 360 degree women that change and are layered and are not defined by whether we have children or not, whether we bottle or breastfeed, or if we decide we want to give birth through the love tunnel or the sun roof. Perhaps we can be a chardonnay drinking, homework nailing, organic pie making, sex fiend woman and break all the stereotypes. And I realised I was an organic cucumber, cesarean sex fiend. And we might even do tshirts. We cannot be defined as simply as society would like. But we do deserve all the information and the respect that we can make strong decisions. She's also written an absolutely brilliant book called Why Human Rights in Childbirth Matter, that the Chief Executive of the Royal College of Midwives said 'should become essential reading for all maternity professionals'. I can't wait to read Rebecca's new book coming out in April. I promise to do another interview with her, partly so she'll bring me more duck eggs from her home, and also because I think she is so wonderfully balanced, informed, highly respectful and compassionate. In a sea of layered, complicated, important and sometimes angry debate around childbirth, she is a mast to hold onto.
What is a doula? Why do birth rights matter? And how would Ellie guide someone through a difficult labour with the help of a Pepperami? All these questions are answered in this episode, with special guest Rebecca Schiller. She's the author of the excellent book Why Human Rights in Childbirth Matter, which is out now. We discuss the issue of birth rights around the world, including why it's so hard to have a home birth in Australia, and the difficulties facing migrant women in the UK. Ellie and Helen share their experiences of labour, and make Rebecca pretend she's on Dragons' Den while doing terrible impressions of Duncan Bannatyne and Peter Jones.

We all want a healthy baby, there's no question of that, but Sally believes there are underlying beliefs to the common phrase "As long as the baby is healthy" that deserve closer examination. Are we giving up elements of birth that are more important than we realise when we say this?Sally has identified 6 underlying beliefs to the statement "As long as the baby is healthy", but there are bound to be more. These are:1. “I am not qualified. Someone else needs to manage my birth.”2. “My rights and my health and safety are subordinate to my baby’s. I must comply with my carer’s treatment.”3. “The hospital/my maternity carer wants the same outcome as me.”4. “Birth is dangerous and needs to be managed medically. Positive births are due to luck.”5. “Labour and birth are simply painful, pointless torture. My partner has only a limited ability to support the process.”6. “My experience is irrelevant and women who seek a positive experience are selfish and exposing the baby to risk.”CLARIFICATION: At 1'16" insert "normal risk" to read "Over 90% of 'normal risk' Australian women go into labour with no pre-existing conditions"In Part 1 of this 2 part series, Sally covers underlying beliefs 1-3, which focus on women's rights in childbirth and informed consent. In Part 2 Sally covers beliefs 4-6, which relate to the physical aspects of the birth process: http://www.spreaker.com/user/pregnancybirthandbeyond/as-long-as-the-baby-is-healthy-part-2Speakers:Bashi Hazard, Human Rights Lawyer, www.humanrightsinchildbirth.orgBec Jenkinson, Univ.
