Making Mama Magic

In this episode, I have the honour to have Kyira Wackett, Founder of Adversity Rising and a licensed mental health therapist based in USA to chat with me about the topic of shame in motherhood. We talked about:

• What exactly is shame and how it shows up when mothering
• Why does shame happen to mothers and how does it impact the way we parent?
• Exploring the relationship between shame and authenticity - is it cultural specific or a common shared lived experience that we struggle with both of them?
• How does the magic of curiosity helps in navigating difficult feelings about shame as a mother?

She mentioned in the podcast on the video she made: 5 Things to Forgive Yourself for Right Now. Watch it here.

One of the things I love to talk about is living consciously and wholeheartedly as a mother. Some people have asked me what exactly is wholehearted living, and I thought to dedicate an episode of this podcast to talk about it.
In this solo episode, I talk about:

• What exactly is wholehearted living?
• Why is it relevant for mothers?
• Some tips & easy ways to incorporate living wholeheartedly in our daily lives

Hi and welcome to Making Mama Magic Podcast!
My name is Ava, and I am a life and parenting coach who works with mothers to live wholeheartedly and enjoy the magic of peaceful parenting.
I wanted to take some time about who I am and share more about the podcast. I am a mother to one, and soon a mother to two in February 2022. I love being a mother. I think it's a privilege to nurture lives and see them grow into curious and unique beings. In my motherhood journey so far, I've met so many challenges & huddles - both personal as a mother and professionally in my work & career. Being a mother in this modern age can be hard - navigating all these noise about what we "should" or "should-not" do as a mother, while juggling various responsibilities as a wife, employee/boss, daughter, daughter-in-law, and of course - being a mom.
I wanted to start this podcast because I wanted to talk about how moms can redefine and own their motherhood & parenting. I believe that motherhood is not just all about sacrifice - to me, it's about making magic in our unique way - parenting from the heart & focusing on presence and trust in our relationship with children. It's also about knowing that motherhood and life is a messy experience and we can seek joy in this experience by looking out for scraps of magical moments with our child & family. It's about living wholeheartedly and courageously pursuing our purpose & passion - basically what lights us up as a person.
I also wanted to take the chance to have a chat with amazing mothers about what they do, on their journey in motherhood and how they have been making magic in their unique ways as a mother and in their work.
I hope you will find the podcast insightful and inspiring. I'll be posting the first episode on 30 November. Please do subscribe to the podcast to follow more episodes that will be released weekly on every Tuesday. If you want to find out more about me and my business, you can connect with me via Instagram at @thecuriousmomma or my website http://www.thecuriousmomma.com.
Thank you so much for being here and I look forward sharing & connecting with all of you.

In this episode of Making Mama Magic, I have the honour to speak with Dr Aparna Sundar, KonMari® Home Organising & Montessori Parenting Coach from Global Mindful Journey.
We had fun chatting about:

• What exactly is "spark joy" in KonMari? How is it relevant to mothers - in our lives & parenting?
• Simplicity vs Intentionality - What's the difference, and how can they help us to do and own less while living with purpose & abundance?
• Our own journeys in sustainability & conscious living - and our takeaways (so far!) on this journey
• Dr Aparna's top tip in getting children to comply in tidying - instead of nagging or forcing.
