Motherhood, Spirituality, & Business: Speak, Mother

Send Shannon A Note

In this insightful podcast episode, we are joined by Michele Piskol, a dedicated educator with over 25 years of classroom experience, as she shares her transformative journey of balancing a teaching career and motherhood. Michele discusses the distinct phases of her motherhood journey, having 2 sets of children with 10 years between them, emphasizing the importance of recognizing personal growth and change over time. She candidly explores her burnout as a first-grade teacher, prompting her transition to an instructional coach role, and later, her corporate role in the education space. Michele advocates for educators to embrace their valuable skill sets outside the classroom. The episode delves into the concept of living a "YES life," breaking free from routine, and injecting excitement back into daily life through improv classes. Michele encourages moms to redefine their identity beyond parenting and careers, emphasizing the significance of self-care and blending moments of joy into daily routines. From handling responsibilities after bedtime to embracing a mindset of "fun as the only option," Michele offers practical insights on finding balance, choosing oneself, and appreciating the blend and flow of mom and work life. Listeners are encouraged to be present, pick their daily mood, and dance it out, while also allowing their children to pursue passions. A powerful reminder is shared: take care of yourself first, put on your oxygen mask, and be a whole, happy human for your children who are watching and learning from your example.

Our guest this week is the lovely Michelle Keating. Picture this incredible journey into motherhood – four years, two heart-wrenching miscarriages, hypnotherapy, and the magical touch of a naturopath, all leading to the joy of conceiving through IVF. Meet an amazing mom who once aspired to be Miss Perfect, only to be beautifully broken open by the emotional rollercoaster of tears, grief, confusion, and frustration. She spills the beans on the stark difference between the dreamy expectations of natural, spiritual woo-woo motherhood and the raw, real, and wild experience she encountered. From a Cesarean birth due to placenta previa to embracing the transformative chaos of motherhood, she shares the essence of becoming a new version of oneself to hold space for the next generation. Yet, she sheds light on the often overlooked need for more support, grace, and presence during the transformative journey into motherhood. Discover the importance of building your village, accepting help, and allowing yourself to be imperfectly perfect in this heartfelt conversation that challenges societal expectations and champions the mental well-being of mothers. Tune in to explore the beautiful messiness of motherhood and the power of listening to your own expert – you, the one who knows your baby better than anyone else.

This week our guest is Sadie Bohnenkamp of Feel, Do, Be Better. In this heart-to-heart podcast episode, we're diving into the real and raw world of motherhood with a fabulous mom juggling a million things – one kid, an exchange student, a full-time job, a real estate side hustle, and her very own business. She spills the beans on being a Manifestor in human design, while her son is a Projector. But here's the magic – she embraces the beautiful messiness of it all, recognizing that we're each on our unique journey. From fertility struggles and endometriosis to societal pressures, she shares her journey with honesty and vulnerability. We explore the twisted idea that you can't be tired or complain because you wanted it so bad, and she encourages us to drop the superhero cape, ask for help, and be honest about our struggles. Tune in for some real talk on breaking free from overwhelming patterns, embracing joy, and choosing feelings that light up your soul. 

About Sadie:

It took a while to realize the gift of a rather volatile childhood but nearing 50 all that life feels like strength training for emotional wellness!  If Sadie can share a few tricks to help others do hard things gracefully, to step boldly into a new adventure, or feel confident in their own skin, she’s here for that!! She loves encouraging women to be unapologetically you, taking action to eliminate fear and mindset mantras to move past whatever is keeping you stuck!!

This Week's Replay Episode:

This week's guest is Abby Hildebrand. Abby is a Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator, Human Development Specialist, and Perinatal Mental Health Advocate. Having been a published author at the ripe old age of 10 (okay, so it was for an elementary school poetry contest, but still!), she has woven the soul of her story into her many careers, and despite being only 5’2”, has had the opportunity to flex her growth muscles on all these journeys, most notably in the newest role of Mama. Her mission is to facilitate the healing process for others, guiding them to breathe into their own capacity to heal themselves and take control of their emotional and physical health. Her approach is collaborative and grounded through a Trauma-Informed lens, empowering clients in building a path to wellness, one step at a time. Focusing her practice primarily on supporting caregivers, she offers individualized coaching and corporate group classes through her company, Wellness Creek Consulting.

Key Takeaways:

1. Breathwork encourages us to pause and be. It helps us to bring ourselves in, ground, and center. Breathwork is consciously shifting the rhythm of our breath to support different experiences and different systems within. It helps us clear away the debris to get to the root of how our nervous system is/is not responding to things around. 
2. You can model breathwork with your children. They naturally respond to breath patterns to support them. Their bodies will naturally help bring their systems down.You can get playful with it to help support them. Their bodies can memorize the response and the down regulation. 
3. Tune in to what’s happening in your body. When you regulate your system, your babies and children will respond. You can support and operate your family from such a different level by just tuning in. 
4. Get your resources lined up before you have your baby. You don’t want to find out about these a year after the fact. You are deserving of the services regardless of your circumstance. We are all deserving of this support, this village, and this care. 
5. You change physiologically when you have a baby. You can’t go back to the same person you were before and that’s okay. Thank her for bringing you to this point, say goodbye, grieve that part of you, and step into the new person you get to carry forward. 
6. We’ve developed such a detachment to our bodies. Use breath, use yoga, use time in nature to get quiet and get tuned in and that’s a way to support the community around you by getting tuned in and turned on. The ripple effect is huge. 
7. YOU HAVE TO EXHALE TO INHALE. YOU HAVE TO LET GO TO RECEIVE. Give yourself space, give yourself pause. Because you set one thing down, you don’t have to pick something else up. 
8. We are inherently worthy and we are not the things that we do.

Our guest this week is Sarah Fish. In this episode, we discuss how women are not meant to constantly go, go, go, and how the switching between our titles of employee and mom leaves little opportunity for us to just be ourselves. We can often fast track ourselves to burnout without realizing we're heading in that direction unless we purposefully carve out that space and time to just be us. Taking time for ourselves, seeking joy in each day, practicing mindfulness, and truly examining what we're doing and how it's actually serving us are imperative in striking a balance between all of the titles we uphold. 

About Sarah: 

Sarah is a stress and anxiety specialist, using hypnotherapy and life coaching to help overwhelmed women take control from the inside out. She runs online group programs for stress management and 1-1 packages for anxiety and habits. Beat Overwhelm, Find Calm is her Facebook Group for women with high pressure lifestyles.
