#182 - We All Need to be Heard with Dusk Liney

02/15/22 • 30 min

The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

It blows my mind that I get to work with women like Dusk.

That Dusk has been trained in the Mama Rising formula and is now a facilitator teaching others about matresence. As you can hear from this deep, moving and sincere conversation, Dusk brings a wisdom, knowledge and grace to all that surround her.

Listen as Amy and Dusk hold space for each other, and an entire network of Mamas who listen, including:

honouring the incredible giving that comes alongside birth and matresence
when its hard to be present with silence and how much gentleness it can require
how the feeling of not being able to get up, at different points in your motherhood journey, needs to be looked at differently, without shame
how 'it' is not wrong anymore, it is as it is.

This conversation will move you, stay with you after the conversation has ended.

Dusk Liney is a listener and space holder, who lives, works and mothers on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Land. Dusk has two businesses: The Listening Squad (with her biz partner Jo) and The Listening Mama. Dusk is a contemplative circle holder, birth doula, spiritual companion and matrescence facilitator. Weaving this all together, Dusk meets people in the midst of their life and listens to their story. She invites people to encounter their inner wisdom and live from that place into their lives, work or birth. The way Dusk holds space is informed by community development, the contemplative movement, birth and motherhood studies, as well as the therapeutic tool of spiritual companionship. Dusk believes in the power of bearing witness to someones' story because every person is of value and needs to be heard.

#183 - Are You Too Much? With Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Recently, in researching how Matrescence can be the catalyst for so much more than just a redefining process of what it means to be a mother, I reached out to women in my life and asked: what were you told growing up?

Here's just some of their answers:

Too sensitive
Too wild
Too caring
Too crazy
Too giving
Too loud
Too shy
Too bold
Too quiet
Too needy
Too independent
Too angry
Too much.

This is what we carry inside us - the legacy of definitions of what it means to be a woman and a mother.

Isn't it time we changed that?

What I have seen over and over again after coaching thousands of women is that... understanding Matrescence is an invitation.

It's an invitation to not only realise that you are changing, but that you also get to decide for yourself:

What does being a mama really mean to you?

What stories are you carrying about who you should be and how this should feel?

And once a woman begins to look at THIS part of herself, the door opens to so much more!

What other stories and definitions are you carrying?

What do you tell yourself about your body, your work, money, sex, power and rest?

This is, by far, the most exciting part of my work:

We gather together as mamas thinking we're going to transform our experience of motherhood... and in the end, we totally revolutionise every part of ourselves.

And we don't do it alone.

I have just opened the doors to the public for my monthly membership The Village for the very first time - this is the place to look at your Matrescence experience and how motherhood is changing you.

But that's not all!

Once you've explored your role as a mama, we then gather together and walk through the rest of the 'definitions of womanhood.'

And it is the most spectacular experience.

Doors open now - we begin on March 7th.

Payment plans available - and you can cancel anytime.

(But trust me, once you know what its like to be in a Village, I doubt you'll want to leave! But come and give it a try yourself )
