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

Ep #112 - Good Enough for Now

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/10/08

It’s so easy to decide that now is not the right time.Motherhood, household chores, school holidays, deadlines, illnesses… there’s always something. Always.But we have two choices -We can choose to keep putting ourselves on hold, waiting for that perfect moment when everything lines up and the heavens open for us to GET A MINUTE TO OURSELVES…Or we can choose to do it anyway.We can decide that it’s good enough for now.Today on the podcast, I was inspired to record something for you after a recent

Ep #111 - Postnatal Depletion with Dr Oscar Serrallach

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/10/01

Most mothers have experienced exhaustion, pain, forgetfulness, indecision, low energy levels, moodiness, or some form of baby brain.And it's no wonder: the process of growing a baby depletes a mother's body in substantial ways - on average, a mother's brain shrinks 5% during pregnancy, and the placenta saps her of essential nutrients that she needs to be healthy and contented.But with postnatal care ending after six weeks, most women never learn how to rebuild their strength and care for their

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/09/24

Where have they gone? Where have those milestones, those celebrations, those INITIATIONS of womanhood gone? They have become invisible. Forgotten and pushed-aside for a faster paced life. A life where we are all meant to be the same, all of the time. To honour motherhood differently, we need to honour womanhood differently. They go hand in hand. To change the way women feel about being a mother, we need to change the way we initiate them into the very beginnings of this whole experience: becoming a

How would knowing you're a sacred woman change things for you? How would you treat yourself, how would you honour yourself, how would you love, and parent, and live if you KNEW you were a sacred woman? This is the question that sparked a divine journey into discovering and uncovering what it means to honour yourself as a whole woman. Megan Dalla-Camina, in her new book 'Simple, Soulful, Sacred' explore why we are so disconnected to ourselves as women, and how we can come back home to the truth -

Ep# 108 - Behind closed doors

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/09/10

We think we're the only ones who find it hard.We look at Instragram and see only the best bits - the yoga in the morning, the smoothie for breakfast, the happy family moment on the beach. And we judge.I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want you to think that I never have those days where it's all too hard, that I'm at capacity, and I want to hide. Because I do - I really do.So in this very personal episode, recorded from my kitchen floor on one of 'those' days', I share with you what happens

Ep #107 - Choosing love over fear with Fleur Chambers

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/09/03

There’s a lot to be worried about.Our kid’s health, their safety, bullying, screen time.At first, it was how to just keep them alive, and then, as they get older, the fears seem to compound with each passing day…How can we ensure they’re safe? How do we instill a deep sense of self within them? How do we let go when we want to keep them so close?Trust, and surrender. That’s what I have to remember, over and over again:Trust, and surrender.Choosing love over fear as a mama is one of the greatest

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/08/27

I used to teach that self-care was the answer to so much of our strugggles as mamas. That if we just 'filled our cup first', we would change that feeling of overwhelm,And I believed it. In fact, I practised what I preached - over and over again. Until my pursuit of trying to squeeze everything in, including the self-care, caused early labour and complete burn out.So when I talk about how to finally switch out of that comparison mode and the feeling that you've never done enough now, I share from a

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/08/20

We SAY we're going to slow down and prioritise what's really important to us, and yet we keep trying to do all the things.We know our health needs us to step off the never ending to-do list treadmill, and yet we struggle to say no.Why? Why is it that as life gets busier with babies, we find it so hard to admit we can't be Superwomen anymore, and slow down a little?This is the question I ask Meg Berryman. Meg has been through her own discovery of why she was so addicted to busy-ness, and how she can

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/08/13

It's not in another to-do list.It's not in getting up earlier, or staying up later.And it's definitely not in just being busier.The balance we crave as mamas and as women has nothing to do with what is going on in our lives (yes, nothing!), but is all about how you are acknowledging what you need and who you are right now.Matrescence is a transformation - an ongoing, every expanding transformation. And if we don't take a time to acknowledge what is going on, and turn off that Superwoman Addiction,

Ep #103 - Love, Sex and Desire with Susana Frioni

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/08/06

It's one of the last unspoken areas of mamahood: sex, passion, and desire once we become parents. But if we are to truly embody being a whole woman, it's a part of us we can no longer ignore or hide in shame. How do you reconnect to this part of yourself when your whole world has been turned upside down? How do you ignite passion again when your relationship with your body is transforming? And what stories are you carrying within you about being a sensual woman AND a mother? When it comes to shining

Ep #102 - Becoming and Undoing

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/07/30

This isn't just a process of becoming the mama and woman you long to be... it's also an undoing of so many outdated and incorrect beliefs and patterns. To rise, we must also unlearn, undo, and let go. So often, this is the part we forget to talk about. Over and over again, the hardest part of mamahood has been the undoing of the old beliefs about what happiness and success and a being a 'good mother' and a 'good wife' is. I've had to look deep within at the blocks and fears, and realised that if I

Ep #101 - The power to change is yours

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/07/23

Motherhood is often the catalyst for so much change, and so many old beliefs and patterns rising to the surface - this is part of it's purpose: Matrescence is a shedding of the old, and a becoming the new. Over the years, however, I have heard thousands of women say they are afraid to look at what is coming up. They know they are struggling, but they're afraid of what change would actually mean. So how do we face all that is rising to the surface as we navigate motherhood - without fear? How do we

Ep #100 - What is your 'Lore' with Jeanette Schneider

2019/07/16

What stories and beliefs have you been told about what it means to be a good woman and a good mama? What are the folklore of your life - and are they serving you? Are they even something you think about? One of the most important elements of matrescence - the transformation of a woman through motherhood - is this opportunity to examine all that we have been told about what it means to be successful and 'good'. For many of us, this is the first time we've paused to question any of this! And it can be

Ep #99 - What self-compassion really looks like

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/07/09

Over the years, I have heard so many mamas share with me what their Inner Mean Mama sounds like. I know that we, as mamas and women, are so hard on ourselves, often feeling like we're never good enough, or worrying that we're always screwing it up. And then, when I talk to them about self-compassion and kindness, I see their eyes glaze over. "Yes, yes... I need to be kinder to myself. I get it." But nothing would really change. At the core of it, they didn't know how to be any other way. So what

Ep #98 - Softening into the unknown with Laura Trotta -

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/07/02

We have been told that strength comes from our willpower, our ability to keep on going, our resilience in the face of fear.And yes, of course, that is true. As women and mamas, we have that innate ability to soldier on, no matter what. Especially when it involves our children.But motherhood requires a softening too. When life throws challenges at us, we must also learn how to surrender and trust, and honour what we are going through.Laura Trotta is a phenomenally successful woman in a very

2019/06/25

What would happen if the world talked about motherhood - and womanhood - differently? How different would our experiences of raising children and balancing all that is asked of us be? Would it change the rate of burn out, overwhelm, and yelling? Would it alter the numbers of past natal depression, adrenal fatigue, marriage breakdowns? And would knowing what we share in this podcast create happier families - and ultimately a happier world? I think so. I really do. I believe that it's time to

Ep#96 - Being the Spaceholder with Heather Plett

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2019/06/11

To be a spaceholder - what does that actually mean? The idea of a woman as the spaceholder is at the core of so many of my programs and teachings, but is often a concept many don't truly understand. And when they do 'get it', there's often overwhelm and resentment. Why is it that I have to hold it together for so many people? How am I expected to hold the space for so many when I'm already doing so much? But the idea of spaceholder is actually one that comes with great empowerment - if we understand

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.

On reflection, the IDEA of self-care, self-reflection, even daily meditation sounds nice - but really, is it even possible? When so much of our lives seem to be filled with the 'urgent and important' tasks of life, these ideas just keep getting pushed down the list.But what if we were to start to consider that nothing was more urgent and important than our health, our mental health, our inner sense of peace?What if we could see that the ONLY thing we needed to ensure happened every single day was

2019/05/21

"If I'm not Superwoman, then how am I going to get it all done?"That's what I believed for so long. And it's what I've heard mamas say for years. It's nice to think that we can slow down, let go of the pressure, look after ourselves a little better, and be in the moment with our loved ones... but when the reality is our house is a mess and our to-do list never, ever ends, then how? How is that even possible?There is a way to get it all done, mamas - and it's all about redefining Superwoman.Yes, you
