"Over the coming months, I bounced from one ‘expert’ to the next, putting all my faith into everyone else’s expertise. ⁠
⁠
I never stopped to listen to my own instincts, because I didn’t think I had any. ⁠
⁠
I was scared, confused, and thought I was doing it all wrong. ⁠
⁠
I checked myself in as a day patient at the hospital every day for weeks, walking from my home to the ward in a haze, longing to just get there so I could get some help. ⁠
⁠
While I was there, I felt safe - the midwives could settle my baby, and I could learn how to be a mother. ⁠
⁠
But once I was home again, I was lost. ⁠
⁠
Everday was a struggle with my internal voice, reminding me over and over again that I was a failure.⁠
⁠
I cried and cried, and I lashed out at my husband for his inability to do anything right. I was also filled with the most unfamiliar emotion of all: resentment. I resented the fact he got to go back to his normal life with his normal job every day, leaving me to figure this out on my own. ⁠
⁠
There were times I contemplated leaving him and going to raise my baby with my sister. Surely that would be better than this? Of course, I adored my little girl, but I hated myself. ⁠
⁠
And I often wondered whether I’d done the ‘right thing’ by having a baby. ⁠
⁠
Perhaps my life would have been better without children? ⁠
⁠
With daily physiotherapy and the guidance of the most amazing lactation consultant, Scarlett grew strong and could eventually turn her head and feed, and our life started to settle down. But deep in my very core, I had changed forever..." from my book Mama Rising.⁠

A VALUED VISITOR⁠
⁠
Mother, humanitarian, artist, teacher, bestselling author, and host of the 'Practice You Podcast', Elena has taught yoga and meditation since 1999. Elena's books, 'Art of Attention' and 'Practice You Journal', are utilized as teaching tools in a variety of settings from universities to teacher training, and are best sellers. With her meditations and Yoga on Glo.com, her virtual Mentorship portal, and her Perceptive Parenting audio course, to boot, Elena is in full swing. ⁠
⁠
But, so incredibly fortunate for us, she managed to take some time out recently to speak with us about her own experiences with co-parenting, relationships, and motherhood and offered her wisdom on being human, through the lens of mindfulness, presence, and empathy.⁠
⁠
Bringing to us a clear and powerful message of choice and presence in our daily lives, and with wonderfully simple inner practices that we can all employ right now, Elena sheds her warm light on our small daily struggles and offers ways to get the upper hand on anger and choose empathy instead.⁠
⁠
In this week's conversation Elena and I cover:⁠
- Elena's new parenting course; Perceptive parenting.⁠
- Parenting as a mirror to see yourself.⁠
- Observing the meandering mind⁠
- Practices for presence.⁠
- Empathic Awareness.⁠
- Reflections on Divorce/ separation.⁠
- Dignity and Authenticity in relationships.⁠
- Supporting Gen Alpha children.⁠
- The choice to support or Stifle your children.⁠
- and being generally nice to each other, as new humans learning and growing alongside each other.⁠
⁠
This is a dense and captivating episode you don't want to miss. I was fixed to my seat too. ⁠
⁠
So take some time out for yourself, find that sweet silence, and nestle in for an illuminating episode of the Mama Rising Podcast.⁠
⁠
Love to you all,⁠

I’ve made a decision: ⁠
⁠
I’m not making anything wrong anymore. ⁠
⁠
When I look at my house and it’s dust and disorder: not wrong⁠
⁠
When I look at my body and how it's aging and changing: not wrong⁠
⁠
When I look at my child’s emotions and tantrums and struggles: not wrong⁠
⁠
Happy Monday!

"I had completely lost confidence in myself. ⁠
⁠
There was so much shame that I wasn’t the mother I thought I should be, and so much grief for the life I used to have - and for the woman I used to be. ⁠
⁠
Why couldn’t I do better? Why didn’t I love it like everyone else? And what if I never feel like myself again? ⁠
⁠
As a successful, headstrong woman, there wasn’t anything that I hadn’t been able to do before. ⁠
⁠
I had been an exchange student to Japan as a naive and totally japanese-illiterate 15 year old, and survived. ⁠
⁠
I had decided I wanted to attend University in Tokyo for a year, so I applied for my University exchange program, and made it happen. I wanted to be a journalist for the ABC, so I was. ⁠
⁠
There was nothing I could not do - or so I thought. ⁠
⁠
But that’s the thing about motherhood - it’s not about control. ⁠
⁠
In fact, it’s often our very first experience in life which has absolutely nothing to do with our willpower or ideas of success. ⁠
⁠
It is completely and totally out of our hands, and that terrifies us."

Who Does She Think She Is? An incredible film by a phenomenal Colorado based filmmaker, writer, artist and activist, Pamela Tanner Boll.

No stranger to the limelight and champion for the people; exposing the truth on taboo topics.

Pamela’s 2008 film , ‘Who Does She Think She Is?’ introduces us to several mother-artists and begs the question:

Why, when making art and raising children are both crucial for our culture, is it so hard to do both.

The film asks us to know these mothers and their art, and puts their stories in the larger context of all women artists.

Like all of us , women artists find their art less esteemed and well-known and less well-compensated for than the work of their male contemporaries.

In todays episode, I discuss this topic AND the woman behind it, to gain some
Insight and stirr up these bottled emotions in all mothers/artists and women alike.

I was really excited to meet Pamela and discuss this incredible work which has garnered much international attention.

Put your feet up.

Get cozy and let’s explore the mind of this great outspoken woman.

Please enjoy,
Amy

We can't be responsible for everything, even if that sense of wanting to do it ALL comes from a place of pure passion. ⁠
⁠
One of the bigger lessons I've had to learn. ⁠
⁠
This is a MOVEMENT for a reason. ⁠
⁠
Not a solo journey. ⁠
