The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

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.This podcast is a collection of stories of matrescence, motherhood, womanhood and change, told by our Mama Rising coaches and mothers around the globe. Through our stories and community, we hope that the wisdom of the rite of passage of matrescence spreads far and wide, and that we can begin to change the way we see, value

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2020/10/20

"I should know how to do this" - it's the catch cry of so many mamas as they navigate motherhood. We have grown up with The Maternal Mandate - an assumption that because you are aa woman you should a) want to have a baby, b) find it easy and natural to become pregnant, birth naturally and breastfeed easily, and c) love every minute of it. And it's something every single woman out there has had to contend with at some stage. But if you also happen to have been trained in some form to support babies,

"Our greatest suffering comes from our attachment to our fantasies."Annie had wanted to be a mum since she was a little girl. Before she had her children she had a very clear idea of what motherhood was going to look like. But her fantasy was a long way from the reality she experienced.As a mum of three sons, the youngest of which who was born with Down Syndrome and then having to navigate two of her boys getting very unwell in their young years - Annie has had to endure some very tough challenges,

Ep #150 - Motherhood and the Heroine's Journey

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2020/10/06

For the one hundred and fiftieth episode of the Happy Mama Movement Podcast, I wanted to reflect on the journey a woman must make in her life - and the three elements she needs to be able to sustain her in that journey. Many years ago, I first came across the work of Maureen Murdoch and The Heroine's Journey. And after many years and many thousands of mama's experiences, I can see that motherhood is a Heroine's Journey: it is the retreat into the feminine, it is the chance to reflect on what was

Ep #148 - Connection Not Perfection with Amy Cox

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2020/09/22

We worry we're not doing enough for them, then we worry we're doing too much for them. We feel bad we don't play enough with them, and then we worry about all the other things we need to get done while we play with them. Motherhood is full of contrasts - and doubt. But what if we dropped all of those expectations of perfection, and actually began to see what our children really need: connection. And not just connection with them, but with ourselves too. Motherhood is a chance to reparent yourself -

Ep #146 - The Inner Split

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2020/08/18

For many years after my first child was born, I struggled with trying to find the balance between who I was before my children arrived, and being a mama. It was as if I was a mass of contradiction - on the one hand, I wanted nothing more than to give myself to my children, dedicated to their wellbeing and happiness. But on the other, I craved my space, my independence, the dreams I had worked so hard to achieve. It wasn't until years later, in my research into matrescence, that I discovered what

It's the space in between.It's the not who you used to be, and not quite who you will be yet.It's the darkness and the opportunity.And as my guest in this episode describes it: it's the liminal space in motherhood.Jessie Harrold is a couch, doula and author. She has been working with women for more than a decade, supporting them through the rites of passage of womanhood - especially motherhood.As she outlines in this interview, there is a sacred space for a woman when she becomes a mother that must

Sometimes, the most profound changes in our life come from the most simple ideas. This week's podcast is a living example of that.Allison Hillery is a mama of two girls. When she found herself pregnant with her second baby while still trying to understand the realities of the physical challenges her first baby was born with, Allison says she entered a time of deep darkness.Without her usual support and guides around her, and unable to heal from the first baby before diving back into pregnancy again,

Ep #143 - What about the Dads? with Julie Borninkhof

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2020/07/21

If matrescence is the transformation of a woman as she becomes a mother - is there something called 'patrescence' for the dads?Do men go through a similar identity shift?This is something I am constantly asked.Of course, the transition a woman goes through is unique - her transformation is physical, emotional, economic, social and spiritual. There is nothing it does not touch.But if we are to revolutionise the way we support and honour the transition into motherhood, do we also need to consider the

Many years ago, I began to explore postpartum support, the fourth trimester and motherhood with Julia Jones. At the time, she was running a pilot training of her postpartum doula training, and I was all in. Years later, this work still influences me in so many ways. Julia is a pioneer in the way we honour the transition into motherhood. But more than that, she reminds us that the way we honour motherhood is a reflection on our society. If we allow this period to be nurturing and nourishing, and

2020/06/30

Matrescence is universal - no matter who you are or where you are in the world, motherhood brings a transformation of identity. However, within matrescence, and the transition from woman to mother, there are many factors we must acknowledge, including race, background and support. It is deeply important that on this podcast, we not only bring to light the universality of matresence, but also highlight the differences in experience - which is why this interview with Yemi Penn is one of the most

Ep #139 - Post-Pandemic Depletion

2020/06/16

Thanks to the work of Dr Oscar Serrallach, we now know about Post-Natal Depletion: a physical and mental deterioration caused not just by the process of giving birth and breastfeeding, but by the stresses and strains of modern parenthood. It has been a breakthrough in how we view mothers, and how we can better support mamas. I would like to suggest a new term for us to consider right now - a term I'm calling Post-Pandemic Depletion. Taking Dr Serrallach's definition, and instead of birth and

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

Ep #137 - The power of a village with Jean Dawkins

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2020/05/10

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

A big part of my work with mamas over the past six years has been online group coaching and online women's circles. We gather together, sometimes monthly, sometimes weekly, to reflect, learn and grow together - it has been one of the greatest gifts of my work. In these calls, mamas get to know one another - and get to know themselves. We share our wins and our fears, and we grow together. As part of the Happy Mama Movement podcast, I'm going to start sharing some of these calls with you - in the

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?

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

2020/04/14

Over the past few weeks, I have listened to hundreds of mamas' experience of isolation - what is stressing them out, and what they are loving. And one of the worries that is coming up a lot is: relationships and intimacy. When everyone is packed into a home, and the kids are underfoot all day long, how do you connect with your partner? When they are stressed about work, and you're stressed about the kids (and work), is it normal to just put the relationship on the bottom of the to-do list? And what
