Thriving not surviving in motherhood with perinatal psychologist, Rebecca Black

In this episode, we bring you a discussion with the incredible Rebecca Black from @themindfulbirthmovement. Rebecca is a psychologist, hypnobirthing practitioner, founder of the Mindful Birth Movement and, most importantly, mum of three.

This episode is hard hitting and covers so many incredible discussions, including:

• Matrescence: what it is and why it’s such a unique transformation
• The socio-cultural context in which we mother within, and why it’s setting us up to fail
• The perfect mother myth 
• What thriving in motherhood means to her
• How we can truly support, value and honour ourselves, to ultimately redefine our mothering experience 

The work that Rebecca, her colleagues and others in this space do is truly changing the narrative for mothers and we think it’s fitting to release this ep prior to Mother’s Day this weekend. We really hope you enjoy this episode and get a lot out of it - our wish is for you to feel valued on Mother’s Day and every day xx
