Behind the Mother Mask behindthemothermask

Today I'm back with a short and sweet episode on what advice I'd give my 20 year old self, and the things I could have done with knowing. I certainly don't want to change the past - it's lead me to where I am today - but perhaps those biggest pieces of knowledge I'd whisper to Annie of 20 years ago. 
What I talk about in this episode:
➡️ That it's never too late to heal but it’s always never too early to learn!
➡️ How understanding my multi-passionate self (ADHD) would have allowed me such acceptance in my younger years
➡️ Taking care of my body from a holistic standpoint - our bodies are our home and to be kinder to myself
➡️ Some of the things I could have leaned into more, the things that excite me, the things I'm drawn to
➡️ And therefore, some of the things that I could have repelled that were not serving me well

Remember - Faking it is Fatiguing
See you next week for another episode!

My husband Dan and I recorded this episode on my 40th birthday!! Dan is asking me a list of questions - we’re calling it 'Annie’s alcohol-free conscious pub quiz' 😆 - catchy eh?! But as you'd expect the questions are a little more in-depth and reflective compared to what you'd usually find in your pub quiz...
Some of things I talk about in this episode:
➡️ Summing up the past decade and what I can take with me into the next 10 years
➡️ What I've learnt about myself in the past that I want EVERYBODY to learn about themselves
➡️ Dan asks me if I could go back, would I change anything? And what would I want my former self to know?
➡️ The films and songs that have represented / impacted my life so far - you know I LOVE my music and the messages hidden within films that resonate with you
➡️ Bonnie asks: “What were you born for mummy?”

See you next week for another episode!

This episode is about finding your voice, which can be scary but going forth and doing it anyway is liberating! I am here in real time, as usual, talking about my REAL life, not the highlights only, not the difficulties only, but ALL of it including the in between parts that we often glide over
What I talk about in this episode:
➡️ Why finding your voice can be an ongoing process throughout life
➡️ I can struggle when it comes to the mundane everyday things in life, but we can't avoid them, they're part of it, but speaking my truth helps massively 
➡️ Being more creative with how to 'create the space' I need to keep my nervous system in check when life changes
➡️ Taking the plunge/first steps towards our bigger vision - AND IT'S BIG! We're going through a big change, we’re no longer just talking about it, we’re doing it
➡️ The importance of needing to express how we were feeling during this change - speaking your truth is non-negotiable

See you next week for another episode!

Today’s episode is special. It is a conversation with a previous client Gail Jones. Gail is a Mum of two girls, a Wife, a Librarian, a lover of books & learning, and so many other wonderful things. She came to me feeling completely lost in herself, with constant anxiety, over criticising herself and a list of physical symptoms to show for it. I am immensely proud of Gail to see the glowing version of herself that she is today, and can’t wait for you to hear it too. 
What we talk about in this episode:
➡️ Gail shares with us who she is and her story from 2020 detailing what stage her health and life had got to when she decided enough was enough and it was time to seek out help
➡️ Feeling a little lost in her everyday purpose besides taking care of her beautiful family - who was taking care of Gail? And why wasn’t she taking care of herself?
➡️ How her body was conveying a message to her through the physical symptoms she was getting including severe gut reactions to foods and dramatic weight change
➡️ Fear of other people’s opinions and judgments, how badly this was affecting Gail's life, and how she has managed to overcome this
➡️ Constant worrying and catastrophising the future
➡️ Getting to the root cause of Gails people pleasing, where it stemmed from in childhood and birth
➡️ How Gail’s health and life is different now compared to 2020 and what are the daily and foundation steps she took

Today I'm back having a conversation with the incredible Dr Naomi Fisher. Dr Fisher is an independent clinical psychologist and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) consultant. She specialises in trauma, autism and alternative approaches to education. She works with children, adolescents and adults.
I came across Naomi's work very recently, and how timely it has been for us as a family! The current schooling system has many benefits and suits some children well, but not all children flourish in the same setting and this is what we are talking about today.

What we talk about in this episode:
➡️ Dr Naomi shares her work, her mission and what led her to looking at the schooling system differently when it came to her own children
➡️ What Dr Naomi thinks is the cause of children not being fine at school and what she sees professionally when working with families
➡️ The emotions parents can often feel in these situations when their child does not want to go to school and what to do next...
➡️ Which interventions might be worth trying, but for how long and what exactly are they
➡️ What are the first step in creating an environment in which children can thrive

See you next week for another episode!

Today, we’re talking all about ENERGY. It is such an important aspect of life; a necessary part of life, and especially if we want to live one of vibrancy and purpose, which I know we all do!
I’m going through the layers of the onion one at a time so we can properly understand where our energy is going to and how to harness it better. So, notepads at the ready for this one - it's going to be very useful. 
What I talk about in this episode:
➡️ Awareness that your energy may be depleted, and what this looks and feels like in the day to day
➡️ Our emotions are energy in motion. If we can manage our emotions and energy - we can do anything!
➡️ Reclaiming your energy can feel overwhelming as a mum - think 'the invisible mother load'. What are the visible and invisible energy drains, but also the energy radiators
➡️ You know I LOVE identity! What is our Identity and how this ties into energy - it's all connected
➡️ A practical exercise to find out 'Where is your energy going' through helping you identify what your common patterns are
