Pachamama In Conversation Pachamama

Arianna says goodbye to her business baby, as she decides to take the difficult but brave and right decision to step away from the business.

In this episode I chat to Ali Pember, a Psychotherapist and Coach specialising in Perinatal Mental Health. Ali works mainly with mothers, encouraging them to trust their own judgement in raising their children, and focuses on dismantling the guilt, shame, stress, and anxiety that is often a product of the 'Perfect Mother Myth' and other forms of social conditioning.

In the episode we talk about:


The difference between motherhood and mothering
The meaning and impact of matrescence
How to meet your needs as well as the needs of your child
Understanding the difference between guilt and shame
