Motherhood Relabelled

Vanessa Mueller

Motherhood Relabelled is not your traditional parenting podcast.  It's a podcast for women who believe that becoming a mum shouldn't mean putting themselves, their goals or the woman they're becoming on hold. This is your weekly dose of making yourself and your own goals a priority. Hosted by women's body transformation coach, mum of two and founder of Built Strong, Vanessa Mueller, Motherhood Relabelled explores what it really means to build a strong body, a strong mind and a life that still feels like yours in the midst of motherhood. We'll talk about strength training, nutrition, body recomposition, body confidence, identity, mental load, habits, motivation, relationships, career, self-care and all the messy, real-life stuff that comes with trying to look after yourself while also looking after everyone else. Because you can love being a mum and still want more for yourself. You can prioritise your health without putting your family second. You can want to change your body without hating the body you have. You can have ambitions, goals and interests that have nothing to do with being a mum. And most importantly you don't have to wait until your children are older, life gets quieter or everything feels easier to start making yourself a priority. You can do it now. In motherhood. Expect honest solo conversations, practical advice and the occasional guest expert or inspiring woman who is relabelling motherhood in her own way. This podcast is your space to pause, think about yourself for a while, and remember that you matter too. This is for the woman behind the mum. Because motherhood is part of you. But it's not all of you. Motherhood Relabelled is brought to you by Built Strong by Vanessa.

    Motherhood Relabelled Is Back 💪🏼

    Vanessa is bringing Motherhood Relabelled back with a new season, a slightly different format, and a sharper focus on what so many mums are craving: identity, confidence, and space to pursue your own goals without drowning in guilt. We catch up on what’s changed since the last season, including life with two little boys and a big career pivot from marketing into women’s body transformation coaching with Built Strong by Vanessa. You’ll also hear an honest update about the show evolving from a co-hosted chat to a mostly solo podcast. From there, we get into the core message: motherhood isn’t the problem, the problem is the expectation that everything else about you should shrink. We'll talk postpartum fitness and strength training in a way that actually fits real life, plus nutrition, habits, motivation, consistency, body image, and the mental load that comes with raising little humans.  If you’re ready to feel strong in your body & mind while juggling motherhood, follow the podcast, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more mums can find these conversations. Motherhood Relabelled is a non-parenting podcast for all mums who don’t let the “motherhood label” hold them back. It’s for those who think that motherhood is a part of us, but not the only thing that defines us. Travelling with kids? Sure! Starting a business with kids? Absolutely! Becoming the fittest and strongest you’ve ever been after kids? The sky ist the limit! This podcast is your weekly dose of making yourself and your own goals a priority.  Thanks for listening to Motherhood Relabelled.

    3. Embracing the Power of Conscious Motherhood with Sarah Cremona from The Mumma Nest ✨

    Imagine embarking on a transformative journey of self-discovery, one where motherhood is the compass guiding your path. We did just that with the inspiring Sarah Cremona from The Mumma Nest, a conscious motherhood mentor, who shares her incredible story of self-realisation and growth, driven by her own experiences as a mother of three. Sarah’s story, a testament to the power of surrender, encourages us to shed preconceived notions of parenthood, and seek alternate modalities that resonate with our true selves. As Sarah unpacks the complexities of juggling motherhood with other aspects of life, she emphasises the importance of effective communication, seeking help when needed, and acquiring practical skills that make the journey of motherhood smoother. She invites us to embrace the concept of community support and 'building a village', enlightening us about the benefits of group therapy. She further shares her personal strategies to tackle 'mum guilt', encouraging us to ask ourselves the right questions, and take charge of our lives. Towards the end, our conversation navigates through the realms of self-care, balance, and the elusive pursuit of 'having it all'.  We also touch on the art of gentle parenting, discussing the importance of setting boundaries, and allowing children to experience their emotions. The episode wraps with Sarah's take on being aware of our 'masks', and the need to be curious about who we truly are. Join us for this enriching conversation as we explore the joys and trials of conscious motherhood.

The constant feeling of inadequacy, the fear of being exposed as a 'fraud' - that's what we call impostor syndrome.  On top of that we're also bound by our own limiting beliefs - the thoughts and attitudes that shape our perception of ourselves and our capabilities.

We break down the difference, discuss how they affect us, and more importantly, how to overcome them. We also reflect on the influence they have on us as working mothers and business owners. We're not just talking about achieving goals, but recognising our strengths, celebrating small victories, and acknowledging our growth. It's about reframing negative thoughts and debunking the myths we tell ourselves. We've got some practical tips for learning by doing. We also explore the power of visualisation and manifestation, and how to use them to achieve our goals. But that's not all!
