This podcast episode is a recording of a live workshop I presented and had such a beautiful reaction to, I wanted to share with you all. Just take a look at the comments that came through, and you’ll see why: Patrycja: Thank you Amy. This was very reassuring. For a while I felt there was…
Oh the best-intentioned wishes and hopes we hold for our children!It’s part of the surrender of motherhood, isn’t it?We hope our children will be happy and healthy, but in actual fact, we have a pretty clear idea on what that looks like. And it’s no different for ourselves. Have you ever thought that the key…
Many years ago, I started with self-care. At the time, it was the only way I could see my way out of where I was: deep in mamahood. But it was also the only answer there was. We didn’t understand why we felt the way we did as women and mothers. Back then, we thought…

What does it mean to be a ‘good mother?’ When we actually pause and ask ourselves that question, it can be scary what answers we here: Always there, always available.Never grumpy or angry.Maybe even, self-sacrificing. This is what we’ve been told, for many many decades:to be a good mother, we need to be perfect. And…

It is about the way lose ourselves and find new versions of ourselves in and around our role a Mother. And in today”s podcast episode I am sharing with you the amazing story (so far) of an incredible…
“I should know how to do this” – it’s the catch cry of so many mamas as they navigate motherhood. We have grown up with The Maternal Mandate – an assumption that because you are aa woman you should a) want to have a baby, b) find it easy and natural to become pregnant, birth naturally…
