<p>I wanted to stop by and say thanks for supporting this podcast, and to introduce my new one- Mum As You Are. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/mum-as-you-are/id1577282849</p> <p>This new podcast is unpolished and unfancy. A 10 minute or so convo each week to explore ways to work with parental burnout and depletion and isolation and guilt that are really practical, focussed on radical self-compassion and really having fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>This less of a here’s the A-Z on parenting topics and more about Motherhood as an identity and an institution and where mental health fits within that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Earlier this year I stopped using social media for my business and personally as well. It’s been one of the most rebellious things I could do and it’s been life changing. It has really brought me to question the ways in which I have used numbing and what you might call shadow comforts as replacement for real proper fun and real proper support.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is not about saying don’t use social media – if you are a mum in business and genuinely seen results from it more power to you sister, however, I do come from the standpoint that this is our generation’s addiction. I think mothers are settling for substandard, faux-fun and while we are familiar with the old ‘do self care” I think a huge part of what’s missing in the motherhood mental health conversation is the idea of fun – like real, belly laugh I feel like myself not just someone’s mother or a worker – fun. That’s the crux of what I’m interested in exploring here.</p> <p>If you want to follow me over there, new episodes come out weekly https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/mum-as-you-are/id1577282849&nbsp;</p> <p>You can reach me: [email protected]</p> <p><strong>Books:</strong></p> <p><em>More Than a Healthy Baby: Finding Strength &amp; Growth After After Birth Trauma</em></p> <p>https://amzn.to/3PbdohA</p> <p><em>Birth Trauma: Tools to Cope</em></p> <p>https://amzn.to/3Ri67i8</p> <p><strong>Courses:</strong></p> <p><em>Birth trauma training for birth workers</em> the online course has over 2700 students from 42 countries</p> <p><a href="https://www.udemy.com/course/birth-trauma-training-for-birth-workers/?referralCode=ABA1D879884EBBF44BA4"><strong>https://doctorerin.com.au/btt-full-sales-page</strong></a></p> <p><em>More Than a Healthy Baby: How to Cope With Birth Trauma</em> is perfect for people who are navigating their own trauma.</p> <p>It’s an a la carte menu of some of my best tools and strategies.
