Today I present a very special Mother's Day episode to mark the day in the US and Australia and many other countries around the world.
I am joined by 4 creative mothers, Angeli Gunn, Tasha Miller, Karryn Miller and Carmela Fleury representing Mother Wild - a global collective of women who believe deeply in helping mothers mother themselves.
Along with their 2 other co-founders Anna af Jochnick and Karin Hesselvik the girls facilitate festivals, workshops, monthly activities and retreats (both virtually and in real life).
2 years ago the idea for their first book Mother Wild: A Book Of Mothers’ Dreams was born. Each one contributed their own unique set of skills and words to bring the book to life, together with 9 artists from 13 different countries, while collectively caring for 32 children during a global pandemic.
The result is an inspirational book that has more than one purpose. While the book was designed as a simple bedtime story for children, the true intention is to re-awaken the wild, adventurous spirit in mothers - and not just through the words on each page.
In the first year, all profits from the book will go towards supporting mothers in the best way they know how - by mothering them..
This episode contains discussions around post natal anxiety
