In this soulful and grounded episode, we explore how astrology can be a compassionate tool in motherhood — from understanding your child’s emotional world to embracing your own unique path as a parent.

Your hosts, Adina, a child psychotherapist, and Steph, a holistic health coach (and both mothers!), are joined by astrologer Deborah to unpack character-based astrology, family synastry, timing cycles, lineage healing, and why your chart is not a box — it’s a mirror.

Welcome back to Motherhood Beyond Books hosted by Adina, a psychotherapist, and Stephanie, a holistic health coach. Today’s topic is so timely, so layered, and, honestly, something we’ve both been noticing in our personal and professional lives. We’re talking about this collective yearning for slowing down, pulling back, and finding peace. It’s showing up everywhere—less obsession with social media, a desire to simplify, and even just the craving to breathe deeply. It feels like we’re collectively waking up to the toll that hyper-productivity and overstimulation have taken on our minds, bodies, and souls. In today's episode, we’re going to dig into all the juicy layers of this. We’ll touch on psychology, astrology, Eastern philosophies, and even how this shift is affecting mothers and families. Sound good? Let's dive in.

We love to connect with our listeners. You can follow Adina on instagramhere and Stephhere or email us at [email protected]

Today we wanted to talk about anxiety. This is a really huge subject, and as such we may even break it into several spin off episodes but for today we wanted to focus on the broader aspect of Anxiety in motherhood - and what it is, and how we can learn to tame it. 

Now we know, there are a lot of amazing resources for anxiety, and nervous system regulation out there, and we are not going to attempt to share or highlight them all, but instead try to give you new ways of seeing & relating to anxiety, that may shift your thinking or feelings around it.

We are back for season 2 of Motherhood Beyond Books and we're so excited to share more on all aspects of motherhood with you. In this episode we are talking about Empty Nest Syndrome. It's that time of year when many of you may have dropped a child off for the first time at nursery, university, or boarding school, or even just preparing for that day in the not-too-distant future. The term "empty nest syndrome" was actually first proposed back in 1914. It described the slide into depression that supposedly occurred for women after their last child left home, leaving them without the daily meaning and structure provided by their roles as mothers.
