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 #72 - Identity and Motherhood: how we can move...

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/10/30

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

Ep 71 - How to stop the resentment rising

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/10/16

If we love our children so much, and we love being a mama, why are feelings like resentment, anger and bitterness so quick to rise up? Why, when we commit to spending time with them, we find ourselves not being the mama we want to be?Because, we are lacking in another part of our life. Balance as a woman requires us to acknowledge that we can't just give ourselves to those we love without some sort of rebalancing in other areas. And it is when all of this is OUT of balance that we snap, get angry,

Ep 70 - Creating Fierce Priorities with Anna Lovind

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/10/02

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

Ep#69 - Don't apologise for changing

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/09/25

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

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/09/18

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

Ep 67 - Matrescence and the transition to Mother

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/09/11

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

Ep 66 - What if someone had told you...

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/08/28

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 Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/08/21

Before mamahood, the world revolves around us. As independent women, with the world at our feet, it’s easy to get wrapped up in our future and our own problems. But mamahood changes that. Our world expands, and our sense of connection to the greater future does too. Suddenly we’re worried about what our children will inherit and we feel more connected to other mothers and children around the world, even if their world is vastly different to ours. But that sense of inheritance can feel heavy. How do

Ep 64 - Where to start in rebuilding your relationship

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/08/14

Marianne Williamson says that when it comes to relationships, women need to feel adored, and men need to feel respected - but most mamas I have spoken to over the years don’t feel adored right now. They feel like they’re the mother, the organiser, the cook and the cleaner. And they’re completely disconnected from their partner. How do we bring passion back into our lives again? How do we even begin to connect with our partners again after focusing on parenting for so long? In this episode, Amy

Ep 63 - Working with the Law of Attraction with Kelly P

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/08/07

It's very nice to think that we can think positive thoughts, live more in the flow of life, and everything will still get done. It's lovely to believe that we can find a balance between all the action that is required of us, and the slower life-style we crave. But how do we get all-the-things done? Staying organised is a must for mamas of young children, but so too is learning to switch off our addiction to busyness, and trust the Universe a little more. In this episode, Amy talks to Kelly

Ep 62 - How to undo the power of self-sabotage

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/07/31

Sometimes, we make things a lot harder for ourselves than they need to be - harsh, but true. We allow a story - that inner mean mama voice that is always chattering away in the background - to run the show, letting it take us down a spiral of negativity.And sometimes, it means we totally self-sabotage ourselves.Have you ever heard yourself saying big statements like 'This ALWAYS happens!', or 'Why is it ALWAYS like this?' Big, generalisations like this are a sure sign that that little voice inside

Ep 61 - Daring to Rest with Karen Brody

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/07/24

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

Ep 60 - How to Light a Candle to Your Life

2018/07/17

As long as I take time every morning to light a candle to my life, it remains my life. But if I hurry into work without that small moment of quiet, then I've already lost myself, and the day."These simple but profound words, from 'Circle of Stones' by Judith Duerk, are at the core of what we are craving as women in this time of our life: a way to honour ourselves before our day, and our life, slips away. We need rituals like this, and without them, resentment, bitterness, anger and overwhelm take

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/07/10

There's a deep-seated belief in this world that we must hustle to get anywhere, and that hard work creates success. It's a belief that is seeing thousands upon thousands of mamas burn out in the attempt to create a life of abundance - while missing out on what they most want. But in the online world of entrepreneurs, there's one shining example of how to do success without the burn out, and that is - Denise Duffield-Thomas.

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/07/03

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

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/06/19

How do we cope with the pressure everyday? When the world is demanding so much of us, what tools are we given to get through as best we can? The truth is - most of us have been handed down unhealthy ways of dealing with pressure. And whether it's alcohol, over-eating, social media, or something else that just drains you even more, it's time we acknowledged as women that we need a new way. We need to learn how to honour rest and what our body is telling us. Talitha Cummins' story is so important to

A really rough night's sleep, and a super frantic morning, is something most of us have to deal with. As women with so much on our plate, the realities of our lives can sometimes make our whole body fill with anxiety. So how did a recent morning just like this, and the subsequent fall out, help Amy see what she most needed? And how can we pull ourselves back in the moment to stop that free fall into overwhelm?

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/05/29

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

Ep 54 - Turning on the Feminine

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz ·

2018/05/22

Let's face it - we live in a masculine world. We celebrate strength and endurance, we define success by how quickly we climb the ladder and how busy we are, and we push down any emotions that may be seen as 'weak'. Our society worships busyness and getting on with the job, and so anything that is opposite to that feels like a failure.Including resting, slowing down, being vulnerable, and honouring our intuition over logic. But our denial of these beautiful and important feminine qualities is what is

In this episode, Amy shares her experience of taking herself and her children completely offline and 'out bush' for five days, and the effect it had on both her own wellbeing and her children's. How can we continue that feeling once we get home
