2021/10/12

#169 - The Pendulum of Being Grounded in Motherhood...

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2021/10/05

Mental wellbeing for the mother in the 4th trimester continues to be an area which needs a lot more work and attention as we explore matresence in all its glory. Just like physical health, mental health needs tending to and the sooner we realise this, the better life will become; breeding greater self-awareness and confidence to reach out for help and more support if and when it’s needed. If parents practice this, then children will mirror that and learn more emotional regulation as they grow and

2021/10/05

Motherhood changes us. As the generation who were told we could do anything and be anything we want to be, accepting the changes that come with motherhood can be very difficult. Our priorities shift, our definition of success evolves, and we find ourselves questioning our addiction to busy-ness. Who are we now? And can we be the best mamas without completely losing ourselves along the way? The Happy Mama Movement is a collection of interviews and insights with real mamas around the world, reflecting

Ep #167 - It's time to switch off the hustle

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2021/07/06

We know how to hustle - we've been doing it most of our lives.We've been taught to push through, suck it up, keep on going. And so we have.We've also seen ourselves do it in motherhood - showing up on little sleep, getting up for the seventeenth time that night, getting through the day on coffee and hope.In my teachings, I call this the 'grit' - the resilience, courage and determination it takes to keep on going when it feels almost impossible.Our world celebrates the 'grit'. We are praised for our

2021/05/11

We all have an anxious mind at times - it's part of the brain's normal function, a way to keep us safe. But what happens when motherhood seems to trigger more than just the usual mama worries?And can our anxiety - and all our struggles for that matter - actually be turned into our super power?Dr Jodi Richardson has had anxiety since she was a small child.

Ep #165 - Why we struggle receiving help

2021/04/27

Why is it that we as mamas and women struggle to ask for - and receive - help?Even if we have a wonderful partner, and a supportive community around us, many of us find it hard to share the load of motherhood.Why?Yes, it can sometimes be because underneath, we feel we should be doing it on our own.And yes, it can sometimes be because we fear the judgement of asking for help.But there's something else there too, mama.And when we understand that matrescence is the massive transformation of Who We

Ep #164 - Changing the way we birth with Jerusha Sutton

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2021/03/23

How we birth matters. Not because of the way our babies enter the world - at home, in surgery, caeserean or water birth - but because the entry into this rite of passage must be empowering for the mother... otherwise, her entry into Matrescence begins with fear. And when you look at the statistics of birth trauma in Australia and the world, this is exactly how many women feel about their births. This interview is with one of the film-makers and creators of the hit new documentary: Birth Time. As a

Ep #163 - Starting Conversations in your Community...

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2021/03/09

Gather a group of women together, give them language to understand what they've been through, and watch what happens: they heal each other. As women, we're meant to gather together, sharing our stories as well as our solutions. It's part of the rites of passage of women - reflection, discussion, being held. But when we live in a culture that isolates women and pits them against each other, the circles and discussions we need rarely happen. Linda Anderson saw this - as a coach and mama, she saw that

Ep #162 - Leadership in Motherhood with Omara Evertz

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2021/03/02

As a mama, you are a leader. You set the tone of your family, you lead them through challenges, you hold the vision of who they can be. That is a true leader. But in our current culture of Super Women and Perfectionism, we often think leadership is an 'outside' thing - something we have to build outside of ourselves, a strength we have to find to keep on going no matter what. Omara Evertz is a coach, author and mama. In this episode, she shares what REAL feminine motherhood leadership looks like -

Ep #159 - It's not about self-care anymore

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2021/02/09

Many years ago, I started with self-care. At the time, it was the only way I could see my way out of where I was: deep in mamahood. But it was also the only answer there was. We didn't understand why we felt the way we did as women and mothers. Back then, we thought the answer was a massage or a yoga class or a pedicure. An uninterrupted shower even. And yes, at the time, it was a start. But more than a decade into this deep dive into the transition and rising of motherhood, I know it's time to be

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2020/12/15

We're told that matrescence is the transformation from Maiden to Mother - but do we really leave the maiden energy behind?Once we're a mother, are we never again able to connect to that young, free, creative side of ourselves?The answer, of course, is no.Of course we must honour and connect with that free and creative side of ourselves, even when we are deep in the role of Mother.In fact, perhaps it is the belief that the Maiden is gone forever that causes us so much grief and sadness?In this

Ep #156 - Underneath the role of mother with Rebecca...

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2020/12/08

Yes, of course you're a mother. And that role affects every single part of your life. But we don't just show up fresh to mamahood, without our own stories, traumas, dreams and hopes. Underneath our role as a mama, we're also a whole woman... and unless we allow the time and space to consider what's underneath the day to day reality of mamahood, we often aren't even aware of how our own stories affect what we do. What if looking 'underneath' motherhood allowed you to see that you're carrying some

Ep #155 - Why we don't ask for help

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2020/12/01

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

What does it mean to be a 'good mother?'When we actually pause and ask ourselves that question, it can be scary what answers we here:Always there, always available.Never grumpy or angry.Maybe even, self-sacrificing.This is what we've been told, for many many decades: to be a good mother, we need to be perfect.And even if you don't think you carry that belief, scratch the surface, and you'll be surprised the stories you tell yourself about who you need to be for your children.Dr. Sophie Brock knows
