Rewilding Motherhood

In this episode I talk about allowing ourselves to be seen in our process - not as a performance, not as a polished “final version,” but as who we are: human, messy, in motion. I share a story from the ReWilding Motherhood Facilitator Programme, where one of my facilitators-in-training was terrified about leading a session. Instead of trying to hide it, I invited her to name it, to begin with “I’m...

In this episode I talk about one of the phrases that comes up again and again in my world: don’t let the perfect get in the way of the perfectly good. And I’m laughing because, naturally, it’s one of the things I still have to keep learning. I used to think podcasting meant jingles, editing software, studio microphones, the whole formal performance. Which meant I didn’t record unless the stars ali...

In This week’s dog-walk ramble episode I talk about celebration…not the champagne-clinking, prosecco-fuelled kind, but the quiet, personal kind we’ve never been taught to recognise. The kind that looks like noticing yourself rather than performing an achievement.  Big success? Claps, applause, gold star. Small everyday survival? Nothing. Next. Move on. Do better. We explore why so many of us ( hel...

Instead of letting my own perfectionism and procrastination get in the way, I’m uploading this straight from my phone, entirely raw.  It was recorded for my Telegram group for The Catalyst, a free 3 day activation for mums done living on mute and ready for mutiny.  So if you’re not in there, you should probably correct that immediately www.courageandchamomile.com/catalyst. We start Tuesday.  This...

I had a really crap night with the small last night and so this morning I had a choice...I could choose to let that and the ensuing tiredness infiltrate, colour and control my entire mood and day. OR I could choose a different story. This episode is taken from a ReWilding Live I did inside my free facebook community Rewilding Motherhood and invites you to become aware of what exactly it is you are...

The other day somebody asked for advice in my free ReWilding Motherhood community ...she was looking for advice on how to move through a trigger that she has. The reaction she had in the comments from other members of the community was interesting and so I came in to do a live and explain what triggers actually are and how we might want to deal with them. Since it resonated so much with that audie...

I have lost track of the amount of times I've heard "I don't know" from the women I speak to. I don't know is a big red flag for me on several levels, which I go into here. Are you somebody who says "I don't know" a lot? Then listen in! Then come let me know how it landed for you at hello@courageandchamomile.com, in my free facebook community Rewilding Mothe...

Or is there? For somebody who has a lot of Libra in her chart this is a most curious statement...but hear me out, it's not what you think ;) If you struggle with balance and often feel very much out of it, this is for you. As usual, I'd love to hear your thoughts and reflections either by email hello@courageandchamomile.com, in my free Facebook Community, 'Rewilding Motherhood'...

I recently received 2 emails in a very short space of time telling me they didn't appreciate my swearing.  I found both my reaction and my subsequent musings interesting and decided to share in the context of what 'rewilding' as mothers means to me. This episode is taken from a weekly live I do inside my free facebook community group Rewilding Motherhood ...come play if you're...

For me the Solstice is like a giant pause & reset button.  A chance to reflect where we've been, where we're at and where we're going next... ...which is only possible if we actually press the bloody pause button and not just rush straight on with our lives, head down, getting through it all. Just Stop. Pause. Breathe.  Take Stock. Listen in to hear how my super simple, flexible...

In this episode I reflect on an invisible box I had built for myself with my morning routine, but hadn't even realised...and how blindingly obvious it and the solution was once I spotted it. I invite you to listen and reflect where or when you might be doing similar and what you might be able to do about it. For more from me come say hello on Instagram , come play inside my free Rewilding Mot...

As summer hots up over here in the UK I'm wondering how much of the joy and juice of summer living so many of us are going to miss out on whilst worrying about what we might look like while we do it. In this episode I discuss the cage we've built for ourselves by not wanting to wear the swimsuit and how it's blocking us from accessing our full joy and from squeezing as much juice as...

I'm serious...are you having fun? It's a serious and important question and in this episode I talk about why I care about your answer and what I notice happens with me and my life if I forget to have fun. So if you're finding yourself feeling disconnected, bored, meh, snapping at people...listen in. And if life isn't quite as juicy or joyful as perhaps you'd like it to be...

I've taken this episode from a live I did in the Rewilding Motherhood Facebook community a few months ago so firstly, please do excuse the background traffic noise and whatnot. If you can hear past that, the message is a good'un. Which is that...if you want things to change, then something actually needs to change. And the only person who can make the choice to do that, is you. YOU have...

So many of us suffer from feelings of overwhelm so often...and yet we're still so bad at dealing with it. In this episode I explain:  - why I find even the term overwhelm so utterly unhelpful - the most common response I see from us mums when faced with overwhelm - why that response absolutely doesn't work - and what to do instead. Hint...the word 'do' in that last sentence was...

Welcome to the very first episode of the brand new Rewilding Motherhood podcast with me, Emma While. I am SO excited to be doing what SO many of you have asked me to do over the years and I can’t wait to share so much juicy goodness with you along the way. So firstly, thank you so much for being here with me. In this intro episode I'm going to be sharing what you expect from our time together...
