This episode is one of my absolute favourites from my Instagram live archives where I speak to Sarah Newlands about her sobriety journey, and how her relationship with alcohol has shaped the way she does her thing in life, motherhood - and everything in between. 

Sarah made the big, bold and brave decision to go sober over 5.5 years ago, and went on to use her insights and experience to support others on their sobriety journey. At the time of recording she was practicing as a Sobriety Coach but has since moved on to explore another professional avenue. However she still supports and is very much connected to the alcohol-free community especially through THE DRYY APP .

Sarah shares her journey with so much openness, honesty, passion and vulnerability, covering so many topics including:

>> How she reached the turning point to go sober and why this lifestyle choice matters to much to her 

>> The profound impact sobriety has had on her mental health, life choices and experience of Motherhood

>> The joys and the challenges attached to being alcohol-free 

>> Some invaluable tips, support and wisdom for anyone that is sober-curious or ready to consider a change in their relationship with drinking.  

This is such an important conversation so I hope you find this a supportive and enlightening episode full of valuable reflections. 

(NB: please excuse a few recording and sound imperfections on this episode, part of which was originally recorded as an Instagram live rather than using a professional podcast setup. I've managed to let it go - so I hope you can too! ;-) )

During this weeks episode I talk to Emily Armitage about how she ‘Does Her Thing’ by embracing her Human Design. 

Emily is a Mum of one, and a business coach, strategist and Human Design translator. And she is obsessed with supporting female founders (with big dreams) to ditch the 'should's', make more money and smash the patriarchy by showing up in life and business as their most fully expressed selves. 

Ever since Emily discovered the magic of Human Design she has felt empowered and liberated to show up in her life, career and parenthood so much more confidently and authentically BUT it’s safe to say that many of us won’t have a clue what Human Design is, let alone how it could change our lives for the better. 

So I hope this fascinating and highly informative conversation will enlighted you about Human Design as much as it did me! 

In this episode Emily explains what Human Design is and how it can help you discover and de-code who you are and provide a supportive framework to ‘do your thing’ accross all parts of your life. 

She shares how her Human Design has profoundly shaped her sense of identity, parenting and professional journey.  

And she unpacks how, as women, we can use our Human Design to challenge the programming of our own societal conditioning and instead take steps to live our lives and raise our kids with integrity, self-trust and deep self-compassion.

Happy New Year! And welcome to my first podcast episode of 2024!

Feeling overwhelmed or bombarded by all the 'New Year, New You' noise already? Me too ;-)

So I want to make sure you're aware that you have a permission slip to skip all that hubbub and get to the good part....

The part where YOU get to start the new year YOUR way, doing YOUR thing.

In this episode I share my own thoughts about 'new years resolution culture' and how that's impacted the way I feel about 1st January.

And I share a selection of ways to help YOU start 2024 in a way that feels true, authentic and atuned to where you're at right now (which may well involve doing NOTHING at all, just FYI!)

This episode of Do Your Thing is another wonderful one from my Instagram live archives. 

And I’m bringing you a beautiful and energising conversation that I had with Prathana Rao who is a Mum of 2 girls, a fellow coach and mentor for Mums and the proud founder of The Maverick Mum™ Movement. 

Through her work Prarthana empowers mothers to discover their inner strength, reignite their passions and connect with their true purpose so they can lead a truly beautiful life.

And in this episode we talked all about falling truly, madly, deeply and unapologetically in love… with YOURSELF as a way of ‘doing your thing’ in life and Motherhood. 

Self love is one of those subjects that is discussed all the time – and yet when it comes to Motherhood it can feel so very out of reach as we channel so much of our love into our kids and families. 

But this conversation really highlights how there IS another way to approach self-love which will mean we CAN enjoy the experience of motherhood and womanhood in the way we deserve. 

During this conversation we talked about…

-        Why loving ourselves can feel like such an uncomfortable and alien concept to us, especially as Mums

-        The notion of ‘filling your cup’ and why we need to aspire to be ‘full of ourselves’ for both our own happiness, and the future happiness of our kids

-        The stark difference between self care and self love which is so often confused

(NB: please excuse a few recording and sound imperfections on this episode, part of which was originally recorded as an Instagram live rather than using a professional podcast setup. I've managed to let it go - so I hope you can too! ;-) )

This week I'm coming to you with a solo episode all about the importance of maintaining a tight grip on your own boundaries as a way of doing YOUR thing in life and parenthood.

Especially pertinent at the time of recording (mid festive seaon!) BUT hugely relevant EVERY day of the year as a way of protecting our energy and wellbeing as Mums.

In this episode I share some guidance around the basics of boundary setting, to help you to lay some sturdy foundations in the parts of your life that need protecting.

I explain how and why it can be so impactful to stand strong and honour your own boundaries - EVEN when it feels easier to give in to other peoples whims at the expense of your own.

I then finish up sharing a simple but powerful tool to support and empower you to hold your nerve, commit to your own boundaries and show up for yourself. Because you are SO very worth it!

This episode of 'Do Your Thing' is one from my Instagram live archives, with personal stylist Alex Standley, where we talk all about owning your personal style as a way of ‘doing your thing’ in life and Motherhood.

Alongside being a Mum, Alex owns and runs her personal styling business Luxe Leopard Lifestyle, working with busy professional women who feel stuck in a style rut. 

We crammed so much goodness into this interview!  

We reflected on the style and body confidence crisis so many women experience, especially after having kids.

Alex shares inspiring tips and insights to help you reclaim ownership over your own sense of style, and explains how powerful fashion can be for rebuilding confidence and self esteem especially when navigating a big life transition like becoming a Mum.  

We also talk about bringing more FUN and JOY into the act of getting dressed as well as how embracing sustainable fashion can make connecting with your personal style feel so much more accessible.

Welcome to 'Do Your Thing' - a podcast designed to unapologetically celebrate EVERY version of Motherhood. 

I'm Tamsin Williamson, a Life & Mindset Coach for Mums (aka The Parenthood Coach) and my ambition for this podcast is to highlight that there is no such thing as ‘the right way’ to raise our kids or do life.

Join me for an array of juicy conversations with amazing, passionate women (who also happen to be Mums) about how they do THEIR thing in their own unique and brilliant ways. And let's use this space to dial down the volume on all the unhelpful ‘shoulds’, pressure and judgement still experienced by WAY too many women, and to make more space to live and own what WE really desire for ourselves as Mothers and Women in our own right.

Stay tuned! Episodes incoming....!
