#239 - We Can't Hide Our Emotions Anymore - with Jessie & Mary Sotiropoulos

Welcome, Mamas, to this beautifully sweet episode of the Happy Mama Movement Podcast! Today, I have the pleasure of introducing two remarkable guests, Jessie Ann Elliot and Mary Sotiropoulos, who are not only about to release their enchanting children's book, "The Mum Who Found Her Sparkle," but did it by successfully funding it through Kickstarter. This delightful upcoming release, born out of the support and enthusiasm of a community, takes young readers and their parents, on a whimsical journey of self-discovery. "The Mum Who Found Her Sparkle" delicately explores the range of emotions experienced by a mother and portrays her quest to rediscover purpose, identity, and joy. Rooted in the concepts around matrescence, this book looks set to captivate children and parents alike. Join us as we dive into the journey of creating and funding this endeavor, as well as Jessie and Mary's motherhood experiences, the challenges they face, and the incredible community they've built around the book. We'll also get a sneak peek into this magical story, just to whet your appetite a little. Get ready to be inspired by Jessie and Mary's creative escapade, their extraordinary children's book, and their own personal journey of self-discovery. So, grab a cuppa, find a cozy spot, and get ready to have your heart warmed and your soul inspired. ~Sat Nam~ Amy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIND OUT MORE: Learn more about 'The Mum Who Found Her Sparkle', (Available, July 2023) HERE on Instagram: @themumwhofoundhersparkle Find Jessie HERE: @theloveandpurposeproject Find Mary HERE: @marysotiropoulos Or their landing page: https://linktr.ee/themumwhofoundhersparkle And if you want to revisit their Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sparkle1/the-mum-who-found-her-sparkle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find this episode and many others, IN FULL HD VIDEO, at my dedicated YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGrvqtTN_QU ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit my website: https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com and: https://mamarising.net/ to submit questions for Mama Q, our new Q&A; podcast session, where we answer your questions regarding Matrescence and motherhood. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Would you like to know:How motherhood changes your core identityWhat the 'Inner Split' is, and how to come to terms with this change within youHow to stop being torn between all the roles you have to playHow to see yourself, your body, and all your relationships differentlyHow to stop being so hard on yourself and, in turn, stop being so resentful towards your loved ones
