  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Women’s Circle by Mumma Got Skills came about from the many many incredible stories I have had the pleasure to listen to in the postnatal craft groups that I run in Queensland, Australia. Becoming a mother may be something that women have done for thousands of years however, it does not take away from the profound transformational nature of this sacred journey. Women’s Circle is a space to share the stories of local women in the hopes that their words may support, validate or shape your own journey.I personally have been on an immense journey of growth since having my son in December 2017 and I love to connect my community with resources and support in all things personal development and parenting. Get ready to hear from women just like you as well as a sprinkling of chats with experts in different fields relating to women and motherhood.I am so very excited to share this space with you. Welcome.

    2.4 Empowered Birth and Motherhood after 3 losses | Cassandra Leigh

    Welcome to Women’s Circle and a big thank you for tuning in wherever you are today. I am speaking to Cassandra Leigh today, a woman who has literally experienced it all when it comes to pregnancy. Cass had always felt a strong desire to be a mother and yet, it would take a journey at 17 years old with a pregnancy termination followed by a miscarriage, a stillborn baby and finally the beautiful arrival of her much wanted son, Magni at the age of 30. Cass is determined to use her experience to support other women to have really supported and calm birth experiences. This is another inspiring chat with a powerful woman and I am so grateful to share this story with you today. We will be discussing: Pregnancy TerminationMiscarriageStillbirthGriefDepressionHealingPTSDBeautiful birth after traumaBirth CareIf any of these topics bring up anything for you, please take space and find some helpful links below.
