    RMC 17 - Matrescence as initiation: Froom good girl to wild mother

    When I was pregnant, I had a plan. It was color-coded, cross-referenced, and carefully mapped out: at three months postpartum, I would return to work. I would launch programs. I would coach again. The maiden in me was determined to survive motherhood. None of it happened. What followed instead was a freefall — into postpartum, into identity death, into sleepless nights, illness, grief, shattered boundaries, and a nervous system stuck in survival. The first year of motherhood felt less like an arrival and more like an underworld descent. In this episode, I share my motHERstory — not as a success narrative, but as an initiation. I speak about: The shock of matrescence and the lack of language for it The shame of “knowing better” and still falling apart The difference between loving your child and surviving motherhood The good girl who needed control — and the wild woman who waited beneath her How giving birth became my wolf cry And how only years later I can see the immense power that was carrying me all along This conversation weaves together my postpartum journey, my relationship with my mother and maternal lineage, the stories we inherit without consent, and the tools that helped me remember myself — including Human Design, gentle embodiment practices, and being witnessed by other mothers. Motherhood softened my grip on control. It brought me closer to my wildness. It taught me that power doesn’t roar — sometimes it undercurrents. This episode also marks the birth of motHERstory — an online space for mothers who feel the pull to understand their story more deeply. Not to fix it. Not to optimise it. But to witness it, honour it, and consciously shape what comes next. Motherhood is not something we perform. It’s something we live. And every mother carries a story worth remembering.

    RMC 16 - Mothering, Lineage & the Art of Matrescence with Lubna

    In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend Lubna — an architect by training, and a mentor, witnesser, and guide for mothers by calling. We talk about lineage and inheritance — what it means for her to mother as a woman who is both Lebanese and Venezuelan, and how cultural roots live on in the body, in birth, and in the way we care for our children. Our conversation weaves through matrescence as art, sensuality in mothering, and the forgotten rites of passage around birth and death. Lubna shares how both the loss of her grandmother and her own birth experiences became awakenings — initiations into deeper womanhood. We speak honestly about the joy and the grief of motherhood, about why mothers need to be witnessed, and how much is lost when we rush women through these profound transitions without community or ritual. This is not a how-to conversation. It’s a remembering. Of motherhood as creative, sensual, ancestral, and alive — and of women as carriers of wisdom, not martyrs.

    RMC 15 - Should mothering fulfil you entirely?

    In this heartfelt solo episode, I share an honest reflection on a truth many mothers quietly carry: mothering is a huge part of who I am, but it’s not all of me. I speak to the tension between loving my child deeply and still craving creativity, purpose, and expression beyond mothering. It’s not about shame or guilt, but the permission to be both: fully devoted and still desiring. Through my Human Design lens, I explore how  energy is naturally oriented toward serving the collective, how I'm wired to share, teach, and contribute to the wider world — while also deeply honouring mothering as a sacred act of service in itself. I reflect on how mothering shapes the collective, and how being of service beyond the family circle doesn’t diminish mothering, but expands it. This episode is a love letter to the and — to the women who mother, create, dream, and serve all at once. You’ll hear reflections on: Why wanting “something more” beyond mothering isn’t a betrayal but a birthright How cultural conditioning fuels guilt and shame for mothers who want more The sacred service of mothering as a contribution to the collective The distinction between tribal energy (family, belonging, closeness) and collective energy (teaching, sharing, serving the wider whole) How honouring your energetic nature makes mothering more alive, authentic, and sustainable Thank you for listening.

    RMC 14 - Motherhood Beyond Fear: Trusting the Body Through German New Medicine with Nour Baghdadi

    In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Nour Baghdadi (@lamedicinasagrada), who works with German New Medicine (GNM) — a body of knowledge that offers a completely different way of understanding illness, symptoms, and healing. Together, we talk about what it really means to mother beyond fear — not by trying to be fearless, but by learning to trust the body’s natural intelligence, to see symptoms not as enemies, but as messages, and to reclaim a deeper sense of calm and sovereignty in how we respond to our children’s needs. We explore German New Medicine as a way of seeing health and symptoms through a new lens — one that helps mothers respond to their children’s needs with calm, confidence, and connection, instead of panic. This conversation isn’t about rejecting medicine or striving to be fearless. They both have a role and can protects us. But when they take over, they disconnect us from our intuition. This conversation is about softening fear and reclaiming trust in nature’s design, so we can feel more grounded, capable, and sovereign in our choices as mothers.

    RMC 13 - From confused to clear AF - in and beyond motherhood

    In this episode, I’m calling BS on the endless stream of motherhood advice that leaves so many of us feeling disconnected, second-guessing ourselves, and spiralling into comparison. From Instagram reels to parenting books to unsolicited playground commentary, the noise is loud—and it’s exhausting. I’m sharing why most of this advice isn’t designed for you, and how Human Design offers a radically different way to mother: one that’s rooted in self-trust, energy alignment, and your unique way of being. When you start tuning out the “shoulds” and tune into your actual blueprint, things begin to shift. You stop performing and start mothering from a place of deep knowing. This is your permission slip to mother like you. With clarity. With rest. With insight instead of overload. The best mothering advice is to stop taking so much advice - you already know, mama, Human Design just helps you hear it. Thank you for listening.

    RMC 12 - Family Constellations, Matrescence, and the Mother as Healer with Blanka Molnar

    In this heart-opening conversation with my dear friend Blanka, we explore how motherhood becomes the portal to deep generational healing, especially through the lens of Family Constellations. Together, we reflect on the ways our children act as mirrors—revealing the unspoken stories, wounds, and patterns we carry from our lineage. We speak to the power of bringing what’s hidden into the light, the role of the mother as both healer and space holder, and how Family Constellations can help us untangle the inherited threads that no longer serve us or our children. If you’ve felt the pull to understand your family system on a deeper level—or to break cycles with more compassion—this episode is your invitation. Loved this episode?

    RMC 11 - The Reset I Didn’t Ask For — But Absolutely Needed

    In this heartfelt solo episode, I open up about why I took a break from the podcast, the guilt that came with stepping away, and what it’s taken to return in a way that honors my truth.  I share how I’m learning to embrace the messy middle of motherhood and coaching—where things don’t feel polished, but they are real. I talk about starting over, listening to my sacral authority, and rebuilding my relationship with joy, pleasure, and my body.  This is a permission slip for anyone navigating their own in-between to slow down, tune in, and trust their own rhythm.

    RMC 10 - Pleasure, sensuality and p*ssy cupping with Kim Rekveld

    This episode is all about redefining pleasure the way it feels good to us in the messy middle of mothering - not how patriarchy has been allowing us, women and mothers to experience it. I’m joined by my hilarious, wise, and wonderfully unhinged friend Kim - fellow mama, coach, and creator of a super juicy new program, The Pleasure Portal that’s all about helping women find their way back to themselves and their pleasure after motherhood shakes everything up. We talk about all the things from the messy in-between to reclaiming our energy, boundaries, and pleasure (or lack thereof). It’s raw, real, probably a little inappropriate, and full of truth. Just how we like it. Ready to go deeper?
