    • 059 The one where I bent a spoon with my ENERGY and now I'm on a mission to support 1000 women this year

      The episode I've been the most excited to share with you... EVER!! Inside, I'm sharing my literal spoon bending experience, where I bent a spoon at a "business conference" using my energy... well... not quite MY energy. In this experience, before bending the spoon, I had a little convo with God. I said, God, if you bend the spoon, I'll believe in what's possible for my business this year, and will whole heartedly believe that it's possible for you to work through me, to support 1000 women through pregnancy and postpartum inside the My Lighter Motherhood program this year. This experience was wild. And there was a tiny voice I heard afterwards that made me make a bold business decision that I've been a little scared to make. Will you recognize it?! Let me know what you think about this episode. Send me a DM and share what you took from it, and if something inside it spoke to you. Sending you all the love, Emma xo

              • 055 Spilling the Secrets behind the My Lighter Motherhood Method

                The My Lighter Motherhood is something that clicked together for me a few years ago - after over a decade of researcher as a mental health researcher and after becoming a Mom myself.

                The framework underlying this method helps my clients feel more present, confident, healthy, and connected to themselves through their transition into motherhood. And in today's episode, for the first time, I'm spilling the secrets behind this method so you can benefit too!

                In this episode, I'll share my "why" behind the work I do, including the My Lighter Motherhood Method. It's so close to my heart, as you'll find out.

                I'm also sharing with you a few of the key factors inside this framework that make it so impactful and comprehensive!

                At the end of the day, what this approach to motherhood helps you do, is feel really present and at peace with where you are as a Mom (even if you aren't getting enough sleep). It helps you access those feelings you've always envisioned as you experience the first year of motherhood. And it helps increase the chances of preventing your mental health declining - which is at the center of my whole approach.

                READY TO UNLOCK A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF JOY WHILE PROTECTING YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IN THIS SEASON?!

                The other areas of your life? We'll dive into it in this episode, but unless they're fully supporting you, they'll need a bit of a back seat.

                The postpartum period also requires you to set strong boundaries - I know this is a part that many of us can find challenging. But let's be real - your energy is precious - especially with a newborn, where time can be fleeting and they chance so quickly day to day.

                Ready to anchor in the calm, present, connected Mama you're destined to be?

                You'll LOVE my new Masterclass.

                In under 90 minutes, you'll learn exactly how to prepare YOURSELF for the fourth trimester so that you protect your mental health and feel emotionally strong and resilient through all the postpartum hormonal shifts and emotions.

                The goal is for you to feel connected to yourself, your baby, and the present moment so you ultimately adore the first year with your baby!

              • 052 Do you want to manifest a super DREAMY newborn season?

                OF COURSE YOU DO, right?!

                In this episode of the My Lighter Way Podcast, I am going to teach you 3 steps you can start taking now to drastically increase the chances of LOVING the stage that so many merely survive through.

                I'm about to give you the quick notes, so if you would rather skip right to a more comprehensive version, you're invited to access my free Masterclass now at the link below, to learn every step within my signature framework, that is over a decade in the making, to elevate your capacity for joy in the newborn season.

                You can sign up here: www.mylighterway.com/masterclass/

                So!

                What are the quick notes?!

                1) You need to let your subconscious mind know that a positive experience is possible for you. You've heard so many negative stories - think about how the word postpartum has shifted it's meaning over time (when you ask most people what it means). We need to swing the pendulum back to positive, and anchor in healthy beliefs about the newborn stage that will translate into a better experience in your reality.

                Journal on these 3 questions:

                1. what have you heard about the postpartum stage?

                2. what negative stories or limiting beliefs have you heard about the first few months with a baby?

                3. If you were really honest with yourself, how would you love the newborn stage to feel?

                 

                Then, 2) Show yourself evidence of moms who share authentically AND have a positive perception of it. Learn from them. Listen to their stories, their beliefs, their mindset, their response to stress. I've woven these healthy and also positive beliefs into my masterclass. Sign up, and hear mine and other women's stories that will show your subconscious mind that a positive experience is possible.

                3) DECIDE what you want and take ownership over your journey. make choices, and actively prepare yourself and others in your life for a positive, dreamy postpartum. To do this, you need to be informed about what to really expect, and equip yourself with tools to have a positive experience, not just in the sweet newborn cuddly moments where you feel rested, but in the haven't showered for two days and woke up 5 times in the night days too.

                To manifest your dreamy postpartum, Sign up for my free Masterclass: www.mylighterway.com/masterclass

                This masterclass teaches you the art of mastering the hardest parts of the newborn stage, so you spend most of your time really enjoying it.

                We're going to cover the 3 pieces to preparing for the newborn season that most mamas miss. And unfortunately, missing these pieces can lead to missing out on enjoying this fleeting season with your baby.

                If you are currently pregnant, or in the newborn season yourself, you're welcome to sign up. It's free, it's all about you - the mama - and expanding the level of joy you get to feel in the newborn season. Sign up now at www.mylighterway.com/masterclass.
