In todays episode I am speaking to Jessica about her mothering experience with her daughter River who is now nearly two. Jessica runs Mother Circle in Bristol, which came out of her own postpartum journey and the lonliness Jessica felt spending hours and hours alone with a baby at home each day, she missed the village, didnt understand what was happening to her and wanted a space to talk...and that is exactly what mother circle is- a landing pad for mothers to gather, learn and share their experiences as mothers – physically, sexually, emotionally, spiritually, and archetypally. We also discuss the elimination communicated (EC)- the idea that babies have a natural instinct to poo on a loo/potty very early on and it can be an alternative or work alongside nappies . Jesicca mentions the account go diaper free if you want to learn more. We also talk about the importance of surrendering to a new you and reevaluating what actually works for this new you and how there can be a sudden new appeal for things you once swore would never happen! For Jessica her love of festivals didnt feel quite so easy and fun as a mother and the new appeal for all inclusive holidays and Centreparks has now been understood! Jessica speaks wonderfully on this episode and I am really excited for you to learn more about the wonderful work of MotherCircle .
