Navigating the relationship with our bodies post partum can feel tricky, overwhelming and a struggle of identifying with it the way we used to. It can be such a change for us to process. In this episode, at 10 weeks post partum, i dive into my own body image feelings and how i am adapting, managing and learning to love and appreciate my body post partum while I work with my body to transition, healthily back into a place where i feel at home in my body again. I share what I am doing to give myself confidence boosts, embody patience, and rewriting some of the negative narratives that society and the media has imprinted on me as a child, as a woman and now as a mother. So please join me in this very honest episode as I share where I am at and what I am doing in the hope that it will support other mums on their body image and self confidence journeys!

Generational Cycles, Traumas and Healing ourselves as an individual has a profound impact on how we parent and raise our children. Asking ourselves what kind of parent I want to be, how I want to show up for my kids, and what my values are as a parent. What kind of child do I want to raise? & realising that we can take back our power and make the choices we want to, instead of the ones our parents, grandparents, society, community or religion expect us to. In this episode I dig deep into this topic with Quantum Coach & Akashic Healer, Heather Smith, as her mission is to support parents in transcending generational traumas, cycles and expectations. She guides parents on healing their own inner child for clarity and peace in parenting.

So many mamas don't realise how important Post Partum physical recovery is… I certainly didn’t! When I connected with Melissa at MOT for Mama's, I was blown away that service existed for mums, whether you're a new mum or your kids are grown up! It is never too late to have a post natal examination to be sure that we do not have any post birth pains or conditions that could be affecting our every day life. From caesarean sections to non-assisted deliveries, scar therapy to pelvic floors, Mummy MOT's have got you covered and we dig deep into the how and why's in this episode!

This episode is with the wonderful Alex Wechelka who is an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) and supports mothers in preparing for their breast feeding journey and also providing care, compassion and support to mothers who are already on their breastfeeding journey!

We dig deep into the incredible journey that is breastfeeding your baby, how lactation consultants can support you prenatal and provide support and education on how to prepare for breastfeeding before your baby arrives, and also, provide guidance if you are already breastfeeding but finding that something doesn’t feel quite right. We cover off common misconceptions around breastfeeding, why googling answers at 3am is not always helpful and so much useful knowledge to empower you as you have your own unique experience with your babies.

You can connect with Alex on Instagram @motherhoodbloomslactation

You can also search for Lactation Consultants in your area by visiting the IBCLC website or contacting your midwife for referrals.

Michelle brings us the wonderful insights into her birth trauma journey and how she found Somatic Healing to be the missing link in her healing journey. & how through this modality she processed her emotions in her body in a safe space and it brought her home to herself and allowed her to thrive in her life as an individual and as a mother once again.

Michelle shares her wisdom, experience and techniques bringing awareness to this incredible modality and how it can support others in trauma release, including us Mamas around what we may not realise at first, can be birth trauma.
