Investing in yourself is one of the best investments that you’ll ever make because you’re always guaranteed a return, which can look like many different things, but backing yourself is always a good bet.   As mums, we always put ourselves at the bottom of the priority list and often think that actually that we don’t deserve it, which is why I wanted to highlight the transformational power of investing in yourself to change your life for good.

Confidently owning your truth with Karen Cannon

Motherhood is like a whirlwind.  Although beautifully life-changing, it's also challenging and all-consuming.  The Reclaiming Mum podcast with Empowerment Coach, Dr. Jemma Andrew-Adiamah, sole purpose is to give mums the space to explore their needs, wants, and desires beyond being a mum, without the guilt.  Being a mum and carving out space for your ambitions aren't mutually exclusive, you can have both. From self-care, mindset, finding calm, unfiltered motherhood, and much more - this is your weekly reminder that you can be an awesome mum and make your dreams a reality too!

WARNING! This episode does discuss disordered eating, which I thought I'd mention in case it's triggering. There are many unfamiliar things that becoming a parent means we have to navigate, one of which is our new bodies because let’s be honest, whatever your shape or size they never return to how they once were after birthing a human. And, it makes sense that they wouldn’t - they’ve been through one of the biggest miracles in life, growing a human, helping shape the future of this world. How incredible is that, of course, it’s not going to be the same.  I know that this can be such a hard pill to swallow for so many mums and for them to fully accept their new bodies to a tough ask, which is why I wanted to explore this topic with you today on this episode.

It's back! Season 2 of the Reclaiming MUM podcast is here and I can't wait to dive in and share the latest episodes with you after my little summer break.   To kick off the new season, I wanted to explore something that quite frankly winds me up no end in the coaching/social media space.  Sorry not sorry for getting on my soapbox, but I'm tired of all the overnight success stories and that transformational life shifts happen with a click of a finger. I think it's time that we started to call this kind of messaging out and celebrate going at your own pace. Happy listening!

Resilience

Emotional resilience is an important part of wellbeing in helping us support our emotional health that can be often overlooked. It’s a bit like a suit of armor that allows you to deal with the tough times so that they don't have any long-lasting impact on your mental wellbeing. Like with everything else, it can feel like another thing that we "should" be doing, but I want to highlight why it should be an essential part of your wellbeing toolbox.

Madeleine Woolgar

Calm

In this week’s episode, I’m chatting with the wonderful Madeleine Woolgar. Madeleine is a parent coach, known as the strong-willed child whisperer. She supports busy mums to reduce their child’s more challenging behaviours (from tantrums to hitting/kicking/biting) and to be the calm, confident mum they’d most like to be. Madeleine equips mums with heart-led strategies and mindset tools to reduce the trickier moments as well as nurturing the mum's relationship with their child and their mental wellbeing. She knows how vital it is not just to give mums strategies, but to help them have the resource to actually be able to utilise the strategies in those trickier moments.  We cover so much ground in this episode, some highlights include top tips to help deal with children's big emotions, how mums can look after themselves better when it comes to parenting their children, understanding our children so we can navigate those trickier situations with more ease and much more!

Becoming a calm and confident mum with Madeleine Woolgar

The mornings as a parent can feel chaotic without throwing in a morning routine, but I'm hearing that so many mums would like to create a little space for themselves in the morning to anchor their day. However, it can feel like an impossible dream when you've got breakfasts and nursery/school runs to get through. It’s so easy to say, just wake up before the kids. However, if you’re little ones are early risers like mine coupled with various wake-ups during the night you can bet that you’ll find me hiding under the duvet wishing for a few minutes more of sleep. I’m a big believer in harnessing the power of the start of the day to have a positive impact on the rest of the day and this is still possible with kids, it just looks a little different. Let me show you how by sharing some practical and realistic ways and mindset reframes that will allow you to create a morning routine that makes you feel good and is on your terms.

Navigating working mum life with Laila Datoo

Do you find yourself saying “yes” to every request that comes your way? It can be so hard to let go of the fear of judgment, fear of letting someone down, and the fear of the consequences if you don't say "yes".  This is classic people-pleasing behaviour, which can often be a detriment to your own physical and mental health. It's a lot, but when you become clear and confident with enforcing your boundaries the rewards are mega. In this week's episode, I'm sharing some tools and mindset shifts to help you dial down your people-pleasing behaviours so they have less impact on your daily life.
