Woman Awake - The Soul-led Journey of Awakening

In this episode I explore what it means to become and and to be a whole being mama from the space of fully embracing and integrating all shades of ourselves.The light.the dark.The grey in between.The shadows as well as all that which we label to be good and right - the parts of ourselves we are happy to own and wear proudly and the parts that we aren't willing to look at and prefer to hide away.What does it mean to you to finally be OK with all parts and pieces of you, instead of condemning one quality and applauding another? Instead of trying to fix parts of you that you label broken, to instead love all of you and what it provides - to you, your family, your children and the world you are in.In episode 011 I simply riff, on planned, on this powerful idea of embracing yourself in wholeness, warts and all.

Yes, there is a WORD that describes the transition from maiden to mother. The depths of transformation that a woman experiences once she becomes a mother knows no bounds, limitations or a time-frame. And it is a rite of passage that is just as important and powerful as any other - birth, death, adolescence, menstruation, marriage. But it is not a passage that is honoured nearly enough.

In Episode 010 I chat with the incredible Amy Taylor-Kabbaz from Happy Mama who shares with us Matresence - the transitory experience as we our identify complete shifts and the old girl/woman falls away. It is a mind blowing conversation filled with powerful insights, a new paradigm, and a wisdom that will hold you through motherhood.

Episode 09 - Differentiating and Separating yourself from your child.

From the moment you find out that you are pregnant, through pregnancy, including birth and beyond you are connected to your child.

You feel one. You breathe in sync. Feel in sync. Think in sync. The connection is unseen but my god is it powerful.

So it’s no surprises that for so many of us mamas it’s an unbearable and unthinkable task to create ‘seperation’...But once those newborn days are over and you’d kicked into toddler years there is a shift.

This can be a challenging stage - with all of their big feelings and new experiences to navigate.

So what’s the fall out look like for me, when my children receive a NO to their needs. When I simply cannot meet their needs for whatever reason that may be - it’s unsafe, its not suitable for me in that moment, it’s simply not possible.

Or what does it look like when my child is feeling something BIG. Moving through a huge transition. Dealing with a rejection. A moment of discomfort. A hurt heart. How do we hold space for our child, allow them to be in and feel and grow through their experience without losing ourselves in it all? How do we create the necessary separation to hold space in the most healthy and powerful and supportive way and NOT get so lost that we cannot see what they are feeling versus who you are and what you are feeling amongst it all.

What triggers this inability to seperate?

How can we foster a healthy attachment AND healthy separation?

Why do we need to question this melting pot we've become part of with our children?

What is the way through to the other side - a healthier, more balanced and centred place respectful of each others individuality?

In Episode 08, inspired by a poem from Khalil Gibran, I explore what it means to be a woke/conscious parenting to children that we don't own. The idea that are children are from us, but not OURS changes the way we view, treat and respond to our children. It's a shift in perspective, a paradigm change, that in turns shifts how we show up as parents, mamas. Less telling more asking. Less controlling more suggesting. Less force more flow.

It's a new idea that has been gaining traction over the years and one that takes effort in living congruently with because it requires us to dismantle our learned beliefs about children, childhood and parenting. Especially if we came from a traditional parent-child dynamic where we were required to be seen and not heard, to do as we are told and to stay out of parents way. Where we were controlled, dictated and governed every step of the way.

I would love to hear your thoughts, get your feedback and receive your 5-star review to help One Woke Mama stay out in the world and in the ears of Mamas near and far.

In Episode07 I have the pleasure of diving into motherhood, bravery, courage and facing our fears (which come up so often as mums!)with the incredibly authentic, down to earth and inspiring Katie Dean.

We dive into what personal fears and struggles motherhood has amplified and intensified for Katie. And specifically what motherhood has asked Katie to heal and shine a light on.

We also touch on what FEAR might look like for you, when it shows up and the flip side to that - bravery and courage.

Most importantly we explore why, as mamas, we must be brave and step up to the ‘Woke’ challenge that motherhood throws down.

This relates back to the previous episode, but it’s also about breaking the chain of ANY learned behaviour, belief, thought system that you most likely have been passed down, along the chain.

We are in the chain with our mother, father, family, most influential friends, teachers etc. For me, as a mama, I can see that the mother line and patriarchal influence has bound me into a few habits that I am so willing and ready to release.

From the victim/marty archetypes ruling my life to the sacred wounds from pre-birth and even to the learned behaviour (quick to anger, bossiness etc) I received from my parents.

I know that I can as much as possible prevent some of the unnecessary hurts, roles and attitudes from being absorbed as deeply. It’s the least I can do - show up for them willing to clear the slate and to give them a chance to show up in the world with minimal baggage.

So here is some guidance around how to break that chain.

Are you a Victim, Martyr or both?

One of the most uncomfortable things I’ve had to face as a mother is this truth - I swing between behaving like a victim or a martyr. Embodying these archetypes is actually more normal and common than we realise. Especially during motherhood.

We embody these roles during motherhood, not one or the other, but both. And I actually think many of us do this. We might just not see it yet. We often choose to avoid it because, let’ be real here, these are not the most flattering roles to appropriate.

I take a look at these two roles and how they might come into being during our motherhood journey. And in the following episode 06b I share how we can break this chain.
