    Raising Mindful Kids in a Chaotic World with Sarah Bane

    In this episode of Beyond Motherhood, I’m joined by the wonderful Sarah Bane, Anxiety Educator and founder of Yogitales, who is passionate about supporting children and teens with their mental health and supporting their parents along the way. We dive into: ✨ Sarah’s journey into yoga and why she focuses on young people ✨ The shifts we’re seeing in children’s and teens’ mental health ✨ Signs your child’s anxiety may need extra support ✨ Creative ways to make mindfulness accessible and fun for kids ✨ A simple practice parents can start today to help their child’s emotional wellbeing This conversation is filled with practical tips and gentle reminders that raising mindful kids doesn’t have to be complicated. About Sarah: Sarah's own experience with anxiety as a child motivated her to make changes as an adult and learn how to keep her calm while handling all the many responsibilities of being a parent. Sarah was inspired by her 200-hour yoga teacher training to help her own children experience less stress and anxiety. With her background as a kids yoga instructor, her interest in the human body, and the knowledge that the breath can create a peaceful environment for the body and the mind, she realised there was more to learn. Sarah studied positive psychology with a focus on wellbeing and emotions with the purpose of encouraging a more practical approach to life engagement and assisting in the growth of young people's minds by teaching them valuable skills. Her goal is to provide as many children she can with coping techniques & strategies needed to deal with anxiety & stress so that nobody has to struggle.

    Feeling Alive, Grounded, and Turned On As A Mama

    If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of snapping, serving everyone but yourself, and feeling invisible in motherhood, this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the silent weight so many mums carry - the constant doing, the numbness just to get through the day, and the guilt that creeps in when you even think about joy or pleasure. This isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about coming home to your body, softening into who you are beneath the overwhelm, and finally letting yourself receive.  And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone. ✨ Join my free masterclass, The Power of Pleasure, and begin your journey back to connection, calm, and aliveness: https://www.moniquebathis.com/the-power-of-pleasure-masterclass Connect with Monique: Instagram: www.instagram.com/moniquebathis Facebook: www.facebook.com/moniquebathis Website: www.moniquebathis.com

    Why Rest Is the Rebellion Mothers Need

    In this episode of Beyond Motherhood, we’re unpacking why choosing rest feels so bloody uncomfortable, and how that urge to “just do one more thing” is your nervous system stuck in survival mode. I’ll guide you through what’s really going on beneath the surface, why rest is a radical act of self trust and how every time you give yourself permission to soften, you start to rewire your nervous system while also showing your kids that life is not only about productivity... and that rest does NOT need to be earned!
