Mum As You Are

Mum as you are is a place for self-compassionate reflection to use what you have within you, right now as you are, perfectly imperfect to find your way through motherhood. I’m Dr Erin Bowe, Clinical & Perinatal Psychologist, Author of More Than a Healthy Baby, course creator and mum of two. This is my second podcast – welcome if you have followed me over from my birth trauma work. This current podcast offering is bite sized, unfancy and unplanned. A roadmap for finding your way back to self-compassion and how to replace numbing and escapism with true, meaningful fun.

    80 Feel like you're not doing alone time properly?

    You find an hour to yourself. A moment you’ve potentially been anticipating for weeks. What do you do? You fantasize about what you *could* do - book a massage? see a friend? read a book? Then the moment comes. Is this excitement or anxiety in your body? Is this feeling calm or am I just frozen? Somehow you can’t think of a single thing you want to but instead are filled with thoughts – I’m feeling ok now, maybe I should just fold laundry. I’ll just go online for a bit, just to get ideas and chill. Next thing you’re looking at photos of your kids on your phone and the hours is almost up. Now you’re all frustrated and angry at yourself again for not doing alone time ‘properly’. What happened? As a mother, I’ve found myself fantasising about the second I can hand the kids over to be alone, only to find that the moment I’m truly alone, I don’t know what to do with myself.

    78 should you get up earlier?

    Getting up at dawn to journal, exercise and smash goals might work well for well-rested people. But what if you're not yet a member of the well-rested Mum's club? Is getting up earlier the answer?

    77 How to winter in difficult times

    Wintering doesn’t have to occur in the physical season of winter. It can represent a time in life that’s challenging and depleting. A time when your soul needs to rest and pull back.

    76 Anxiety Tools to Steal from your Kids 🦸‍♀️

    Some of the best anxiety tools around are ones that people often assume are just for kids. I'll share with you a few fun, playful tools to introduce or re-introduce into your stress and self-care practise. I recently learned about a tool called Calm Strips. I haven’t tried them yet, and not sponsored, but they look interesting. They look like a sensory toy in sticker form. You can choose a range of textures – bumpy, soft etc. for focus and de-stressing.  Social Media Detox for Mums ⁠⁠Amazon Australia⁠⁠⁠ More than a healthy baby: finding strength and growth after birth trauma ⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3cAuvfu⁠⁠⁠ If you'd like to follow along my slow living journey on ⁠⁠⁠my YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠ I also send a ⁠⁠⁠weekly email⁠⁠⁠ and have old school-style pen pals rather than use social media :) My Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://doctorerin.com.au/⁠⁠⁠ Mental health courses I teach: ⁠⁠⁠https://doctorerin.com.au/shop⁠⁠⁠ Inquiries: dr.erinbowe@gmail.com

    75 When it feels like everything you do is wrong

    Like pretty much every mum I know, I have too many tabs in my brain open: when did I last worm the dogs? How am I going to find time to go to the dentist? Does my youngest have allergies? Is it bad that I stopped taking my kids to swimming lessons? Is every choice I make as a mum somehow always "wrong"? The internet regularly gives the message that if only you tried a bit harder, or focused a bit more, you could have the cake and eat it. But don’t eat cake, OK? Because of sugar, white carbs and gluten, oh my. Am I doing anything right?   Turns out there's a is a word for this experience: Paro It means the feeling that everything you do is somehow wrong. It works best as a visual example, so if you haven’t seen this short video explaining it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7l2hUp0CkQ I encourage you to watch it. It comes from a book I just discovered and am slightly obsessed with – the dictionary of obscure sorrows by john Koenig. Basically its new words for emotions we all feel but don’t have the language for. https://amzn.to/3OMlu3A Social Media Detox for Mums ⁠Amazon Australia⁠⁠ More than a healthy baby: finding strength and growth after birth trauma ⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3cAuvfu⁠⁠ If you'd like to follow along my slow living journey on ⁠⁠my YouTube channel ⁠⁠ I also send a ⁠⁠weekly email⁠⁠ and have old school-style pen pals rather than use social media :) My Website: ⁠⁠https://doctorerin.com.au/⁠⁠ Mental health courses I teach: ⁠⁠https://doctorerin.com.au/shop⁠⁠ Inquiries: dr.erinbowe@gmail.com

    74 Hate playing? Listen to this

    One of the dirty secrets of parenting that not too many mums seem willing to talk about is that sometimes parents don’t enjoy playing with their children. Or maybe they never enjoy playing and would go so far as to say they hate it. There’s a few reasons for this, and with a few tweaks the concept of ‘play’ might shift for you. *NB* that's cockatoos in the background in case you're wondering. I live in the bush, this is life!

    73 Coping with scary thoughts as a new parent

    Something like 90% of new parents will have intrusive, scary thoughts. I'll explain what they are about, how to cope with them and a bit about what situations are expected or 'normal' and what situations would be considered problematic or a psychiatric emergency.
