MOTHERHOOD, THE LOST DAUGHTER, THE BAD MOTHER, CULTURAL TABOOS, PODCAST EPISODE


with The Mamma Coach Sophie Burch


This episode is designed to be a little tonic; a moment of presence and space to breathe.

I am talking with Sophie Burch (aka The Mamma Coach).
Sophie is a mother, an author, founder and leader of the Beyond Birth Collective, executive director and trainer for Perinatal Mental Health Training CIC, hypnobirthing practitioner, baby massage teacher, holistic and pregnancy massage therapist, and more.
Sophie is on a mission to bring mental health awareness and emotional wellbeing practices into the lives of all parents, and in this episode, she gives us some amazing strategies, tools and perspectives to really support us in our everyday experience of mothering.

Sophie takes us through a beautiful process that can be used at any time which can create a sense of safety and calm. She also shares what to do when self-care feels like just another thing we have to add to our to-do lists and some ways we can tend to our nervous systems.

You’ll hear about what Sophie has observed in mothers within her work, and the massive load they’re carrying. We look at what modern parenting means to us, and the significant shift in consciousness she has perceived recently. Sophie shares the one wish that she has for all parents in the world right now, and the importance of fostering self-connection and agency in our lives.

Listen up.

This episode is designed to be a little tonic; a moment of presence and space to breathe. A way for us to 'come home' to ourselves, within the context of us as a collective.
