Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Our world tells us we need to be productive, no matter what.
From a very young age, we are taught to ignore our bodies and what they are trying to tell us, and keep on going.
Learning how to UNDO that habit is one of the greatest challenges of motherhood and womanhood!
In this episode, Amy shares her recent experience of retreating to heal - and how uncomfortable that has been at times.
'Am I letting everyone down?'
'What if everything falls apart if I pull back?'
'What will people think of me?'
But in the end, it was the advice of her father many years ago that reminded her:
there's no shame in retreating when you need it.

Welcome, lovely mamas, to another nourishing episode of "The Happy Mama Movement Podcast." Today we're diving deep into a conversation that may very well transform the way you see yourself, your body, and your journey through motherhood.
In this episode, we have the pleasure of chatting with the remarkable Hollie Swanton. Hollie is a Women's Health Occupational Therapist, Yoga Teacher and Mama Rising Facilitator. Hollie provides integrated mind-body support to women across the lifespan, with a special interest in the perinatal period, as they embark on navigating potent changes to their body, emotions, senses, environment (internally and externally), roles and routines.
Hollie supports women to track their nervous system, feelings and sensations in their bodies internally, so they can use meaningful action and agency in their lives externally.
Together, we explore the profound relationship between motherhood, self-identity, and the physical vessel we inhabit. Hollie's insights are a beacon of light, reminding us that our bodies are not just vessels but sources of knowledge and intuition.
We delve into the transformative journey of self-understanding, the power of reclaiming our bodies after childbirth, and the magic that unfolds when we connect with our inner selves. Hollie's wisdom shines through as she guides us on a path of self-compassion and nurturing that every mama deserves to experience, introducing us to the Psycho-sensory world that has been right under our noses all along, which might just help you explain some of your most puzzling behaviors.
So, grab your favorite drink, find a cozy spot, and let's embark on this enlightening conversation with Hollie. It's a journey of self-discovery, body wisdom, and empowerment that you won't want to miss.
I'm so glad you're here with us.

Welcome, beautiful souls, to another enlightening episode of "The Happy Mama Movement Podcast."
Today we're going to dive into a topic that's close to my heart and, I'm sure, to the hearts of many of our listeners.
You see,we have this incredible ability to see time through a different lens. We're masterful at prioritizing, and we've come to understand that quality often trumps quantity. We've embraced the art of flexibility, learned the fine balance of setting boundaries, and are wizards at time management.
But here's the real magic - these skills, these treasures we've unearthed on our motherhood journey, they're not just for our role as moms. They're invaluable in our careers and businesses too. In fact, I'd venture to say that being a mother makes us extraordinary in the professional world.
So, in today's conversation, we're going to explore how we, as mothers, value time differently and how that unique perspective enriches our professional lives. We'll talk about setting meaningful goals, leveraging support networks, and, most importantly, nurturing that self-compassion we've honed through the beautiful messiness of motherhood.
And I can't wait to share it all with you. So, settle into your favorite spot, whether it's with a warm cup of tea or during a quiet moment in your day, and let's embark on this journey together.

Our bodies are the source and creator of motherhood.
They are the vessel for the gifts of our children.
But what happens when our body doesn't follow the 'plan' of pregnancy and birth?
What happens when you feel your body let you down, or is now changed forever?
Dr Rebecca Ray is one of the most beautiful and insightful writers on instagram at the moment - and is known for her radical self-acceptance work.
But in this interview on her journey into and through motherhood, she opens up like never before - sharing her struggles with her body during fertility treatment, then pregnancy and then post-birth.
And in the process, breaks down the expectation that we should 'love' our bodies, and instead invites us to radically reimagine our relationship with the body that made us mothers.
For the complete list of instagram accounts Dr Ray suggests to follow for body confidence and acceptance, go to the podcast notes at amytaylorkabbaz.com

In our current world, we have been undervaluing what it means to be a woman and a mother. But in many ancient traditions and teachings, the mother is celebrated and revered for her power to create and sustain life. In my search for a better understanding of who I was becoming, and why I struggled so much to value this current season of my life, Kundalini yoga has been one of those ancient teachings that has guided me to a new understanding.
Alexandra Di Cecco has been a Kundalini yoga teacher since before she was a mama. She has been teaching and guiding women through pregnancy, birth and beyond for nearly 15 years, and her dedication to inspiring women to live a more conscious and grace-filled life is truly contagious. Just listen to the way she talks about what it means to be a mother - it will change how you feel forever.
In this episode, I spoke to Alexandra about the Kundalini teachings, but also about how we can live with less anger and more grace, how we can switch off the 'superwoman addiction', and what conscious parenting really is.
