How can I prepare for postpartum? What should I have ready before my baby is born?

That’s exactly what we’re covering - the ESSENTIAL pieces to prepare for, when it comes to your fourth trimester.

I’m covering what newborn essentials you really need (hint: it’s less than you think), what to expect when it comes to newborn care, feeding, and newborn sleep, and what to prepare for YOU when it comes to recovery after labour and delivery.

We’re going beyond the basics - from pads and diapers and peri bottles - to postpartum mental health.

When I was pregnant for the first time, I heard so many negative birth stories. It was a breath of fresh air, and created such a burst of excitement in me, to hear about women’s positive birth stories and experiences as Moms. Like “wait… positive birth experiences are possible? AND it’s possible for me?!”

Now, as a mindset coach for Moms, I see it all the time - women asking “is there such thing as a positive motherhood experience?” “Can someone share what they love about being a Mom?”. 

I’m here to break the news that motherhood is incredible. 

It will be your favourite, most meaningful chapter of your life yet.

And - it can be overwhelmingly positive, where you do really really love it, pretty much all of the time.

This proof is powerful. It creates evidence. It also creates a ripple effect where the paradigms around pregnancy, birth and postpartum start to shift. But we need the inner tools to make those positive experiences a reality.

Follow along with the My Lighter Way Podcast to hear more positive experiences about birth, being a Mom, and how to create joy inside every single chapter.

Becoming a Mom created a whole shift in my level of ambition. It made me so conscious of my time, who I am, and who I’m here to be. It invited me to reconnect with my intuition, trust myself, and rearrange my life in a way that lights me and also feels good for my family.

In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes peek into what I’m manifesting next - including an update on where I am with supporting 1000 new moms through postpartum - and what’s next for my family and me!

I have found I don’t fit in with most mom groups. Not because of anything “wrong” with me, or the moms inside most mom groups. But because of the paradigms, beliefs and ways of connecting that exist within most mom groups. 

One-on-one, I can connect on some level with most moms in many ways. But in a group setting, something shifts. Complaining, gossip, competition, survival mode as the “real” real… It’s just not… for me.

This is one of the reasons I love My Lighter Motherhood. It’s shifting the paradigm, one motherhood experience at a time, to one you enjoy more than suffer through.

 I don’t want you to have to relate to the misery of it all as “just a normal part of it” either - as the main, leading, or dominant experience. 

Inside My Lighter Motherhood, you connect with the growth, magic and awe of it all. You ask for support from gratitude and joy in receiving, rather than a necessity from survival mode.

You connect with other Moms and experience many of the same things on the outside - the night wakeups, the feeding around the clock - and instead of dreading another day collectively, you find growth, purpose, and even pure bliss as your everyday normal.

That’s the energy of loving motherhood.

That’s the energy of My Lighter Motherhood.

How powerful when we all come from that place, together.

You’re excited for your baby to be born, yet don’t want to wish the time away. You want to be here, now.

Soak in this chapter.

This epi breaks down exactly why this desire is a gift.

And how this gift transcends beyond you, and is one of the keys to awakening in human consciousness.

Inspired by a recent night out with my Dad, where we went to see Eckhart Tolle, author of Power of Now speak, this episode shares why pregnancy is the perfect time to become more present.

Hint: if you’re more present in pregnancy and practice this one skill often, that will naturally lead into a more present postpartum and experience as a Mom.
