Our 3rd episode of Mother Speaks Unedited is a full-length extravaganza! Originally intended for our UKHR show, for technical reasons we sadly couldn’t use it, so we are airing it here on our podcast for all to enjoy. Sarah and Zoë are joined by Aimee Strongman, Spiritual Sage for mothers, and Emma While, Rewilding Motherhood coach.
In this episode we unapologetically explore:
* Nourishing ourselves in the midst of the Winter phase
* Standing up for our seasons and cycles: noticing and softening in ourselves
* Becoming the model for our children in the real world
* Reclaiming our boundaries, both internally and externally
* Understanding & learning our own unique needs according to our personal cycle
* The medicine of the circle
* Exploring all the varied voices and stories of “Mother”
* How writing our Wake Up Mother chapters changed us
* Reimagining the toxic stories around our bodies & birthing
* Relinquishing control, and the alchemy in Transition
* Opening the throat to open the yoni & cervix
* Learning to birth grief and other emotions
* Bringing ceremony into our basic tool kit
And our “after-hours” juicy outtakes (from 41:44) include:
* Shitting on boundaries (literally and figuratively!)
* Avoiding gaslighting: getting real with self-care
* Building resilience by sitting on our hands
* The Good Mother
* Book recommendations
* Allowing different styles of mothering without cancellation
* Countering indoctrination in our kids
* Balancing trusting our kids’ decisions with our own fears/ feelings

About Emma
Emma While is a mother, early years & adult learning specialist, positive psychology geek, lover of squirrels, wild swimmer, NLP practitioner, mindfulness teacher, writer and owner of Courage & Chamomile (purveyors of transformational coaching for mums since 2016).
Since unbinding herself free of society’s expectations of her, as well as those she had foisted upon herself), Emma has been passionate about empowering other mums to do the same…
… to believe in and become their FULL, unapologetic selves, beyond the identity of ‘mum’ or any other roles they play. To let go of the shame, guilt, rules, shoulds and should nots, the I can’ts and I have tos. To break the cycles and the patterns, to consciously curate the passionate, exciting and fulfilling life they both desire and deserve, and dream into being a future fit for the next generation we're raising.

About Us
Mother Speaks Unedited is an unapologetic deep dive, and occasionally stumbling journey into the Mother Energy from mothering children to businesses, and the wisdom of mother earth herself.
This is a show where mothers meet to speak about things that matter, on topics across the board from birthing babies, books and new projects, to parenting children, animals and oneself plus all the conundrums of (identifying as) being a woman in this day and age.
We are a community called together to co-author the book Wake Up Mother which you can find out more about on our website wakeupmother.com
Here on the the Unedited segment of our podcast, we speak as a collective circle of four creatrix mothers (at varying stages of parenthood and project development) into all the taboo, challenging, impolite and unspoken themes around the Mother Energy.
You can also find our main show, Mother Speaks, on UK Health Radio.
