    Jun 11 2024
    Feeling lost in your career after becoming a mother? Or feeling torn between the career you love and the love you have for being a mom? The balance is so hard and figuring out how to navigate and balance it all is exhausting. But you aren't alone and this week we dive into feeling lost in our careers after motherhood. How can motherhood influence our career trajectory? How can we overcome our fear of taking a risk especially when it comes to our career and livelihood and how can we overcome the feeling of guilt when it comes to wanting a career outside of and in addition to motherhood? What advice do you have for someone who wants to do something different but doesn't know how or doesn't know what they want to do? Jessica (Jess) Galica is an Executive Coach helping leaders to achieve more success, fulfillment, and ease at work.

  • Honest Mom Chat w/Renee of @themomroompodcast
    Jun 4 2024
    I think we can all agree that motherhood is not easy! There is so much advice out there and even the most well intentioned advice sometimes just isn't very helpful and can end up doing more harm than good. Sharing honest conversations around motherhood is usually helpful though and helps us all feel less alone! 1. What do you have the hardest time with/struggle the most with in motherhood? 2. What is one hill that you will die on about motherhood that you know is controversial and you'll get hate on? 3. What is the most outlandish piece of parenting advice you have received? 4. What did you initially say you were NEVER or ALWAYS going to do when it came to parenting that you have totally abandoned now and do the opposite? Renee's Bio: I’m an academic turned podcaster who decided it was time to stir sh*t up in the mom community. My hobbies include: being honest, making TikToks, and helping you live life unapologetically as an imperfect mom.

  • Accessing your inner child & navigating parenting while healing yourself w/ Lavinia Brown
    May 28 2024
    Did you know you may not remember some of your childhood trauma? It can be really difficult to heal from something we don't remember and how do we know if we are truly healed? We dive into these questions and more on this weeks episode! 1. Our last episode together was the most listened to episode on Mamaknows podcast. We talked about the importance of parenting our inner child and how our inner child wounds affect how we show up in our relationships. But what if we don't remember our childhood traumas? How are we supposed to heal our wounds if we don't know what they are? 2. Once we do identify a childhood trauma we are working on parenting our inner child, but how do I avoid being dismissive versus actually healing the wound. For example, if we identify a moment where we felt unworthy, how do we affirm ourselves that we are worthy without being dismissive of that inner child's feelings? 3. How do we know when a childhood trauma is healed or that we have made peace with it? 4. How can we make sure we nurture our children as they are living their inner child? Check out Lavina's new signature holistic healing programme: Making Peace With Your Past. This is a self-led, self-paced, 3-step journey from reactivity, anxiety and rage to becoming the calm, conscious mama and connected partner you want to be. It contains over 6 hours of videos spread over 10 different modules and once purchased, it's available for life (so you can come back to it at any point in the future, either to remind yourself of how to manage a trigger, heal a painful memory or unpack a new layer of the mother imprint that may have surfaced, for example). The programme comes with two, live, group coaching support calls with me every month - also for life (so that I am always here for you whatever queries or fears come up and whatever support or insights you might need on your healing journey) as well as a private, members'-only FB group.
