Align with AliceAlign with Alice024 | Reclaiming Joy In Motherhood With Joy Activation Coach Danielle BrookerIn this podcast episode I’m joined by Joy Activation Coach and mother, Danielle Brooker, to talk about what it really takes to access joy…not just after the chaos of motherhood, but in the thick of it. We unpack why traditional mindset tools don’t always work in motherhood, how nervous system regulation and embodiment are essential (but often misunderstood), and what it means to reclaim joy when it might feel very far away.  This conversation is an invitation to stop waiting for things to get easier and remember that joy isn’t something to chase...2025-08-1058 minPostpartum Is Forever - with Keturah StoltenbergPostpartum Is Forever - with Keturah StoltenbergEP. 42|FINDING TRUE JOY IN YOUR CURRENT SEASON OF MOTHERHOOD DESPITE THE CHAOS AND DEPLETION|DANIELLE BROOKER|POSTPARTUM IS FOREVER PODCASTDanielle Brooker is a Mama, Joy Activation Coach, writer, and author of Freedom from Busy.

You’re getting snappy with your partner constantly, finding your siblings frustrating and can’t understand why every time you messaged your bestie you want to burst into tears. What is going on?! When I started to come home crying every single day, it prompted me to stop putting everything down to “stress” at work. Our emotions give us many clues, signals to what could really be going on beneath the surface. Yet so often we’re quick to dismiss them, or push them aside a...2020-12-0123 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 83: Freedom From Busy Part 1: You Can Love Your Job And Still Need To QuitI get asked lots of questions about why I do what I do. Or how I “got here”. To be honest, they’re my favourite kind of questions because I just love hearing people’s stories myself. I love hearing how the dots all make sense looking backwards. I love hearing the different “choose your own adventure” pathways that people take and the mix of life that comes together to bring them to this moment right now. So this episode is a little different to usual - the first in a series where I’m sharing my j...2020-11-2421 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 82: Getting Relief From All The PressureAre you someone who chooses to do all the things?

To take in everything you have achieved – regardless of how you feel right now, I promise you, you have achieved plenty! What gets in the way of us celebrating and acknowledging ourselves? Busyness. Last month, the Let It Shine podcast celebrated it’s 1st Birthday! That’s a big deal and something to feel proud and excited about. While I didn’t stop on the day itself to celebrate, I did reach out to some of the show’s previous guests and asked them to pop back o...2020-11-1228 minMama JoyMama JoySeason 5 TrailerThis season is all about freeing yourself from busy.

From Genevieve Parker Hill having moved countries every 6-12months, to Ruth Poundwhite running her own business straight out of uni (on her own), to Willemijn Maas making a career move from working in psychiatry to the online business world—their experiences of the need for connection and community couldn’t be more different! And yet, we all came together with a core longing and intention. We wanted a place to feel seen...2020-09-221h 07Mama JoyMama JoyEpisode 79: Systems For Creating More Ease And Joy In Business And Life, With Kate NorthrupHave you got shiny object syndrome? Or maybe you feel like you need to be always-on to get ahead in your business and life? There is another way. One that allows you to optimise your energy, make better decisions, and increase your capacity for joy. Today’s guest has had a profound impact on how I show up for myself and my business. Integrating her cyclical tracking and #doless systems took me from a state of scattered and unsure, to decisive, confident and consistently energised in my business (and life). Kate Northrup ha...2020-09-1754 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 78: Using Joy As Your Anchor To Care For Yourself, Lessons From Joy ClubbersI had tears pricking my eyes and my heart was swollen after this recording this conversation. The three women you will hear from today have had varied experiences of change this year. From adjustments in running their own business, to managing experiments in a lab through lockdown restrictions, being furloughed from work, and reconsidering if now really is the best time to resign. Dima Mekdad, Daniela Nofal and Halima Salim joined Joy Club when it was birthed earlier this year with nothing more than a short voicenote from me saying “want to come together and focus on...2020-09-1557 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 77: How To Choose Joy When You’d Rather Have A TantrumAfter a false start when I forgot to hit record on a 40min episode, I was at a crossroads. I could stomp my feet and cry. Or I could make another choice. This episode will inspire you to choose joy, even when you’d really rather have a tantrum instead. 😉 I share the importance of welcoming in all your emotions, why joy is not just a “nice to have”, and why when you’re starting out choosing joy could feel a little clunky. This is an ideal time of year to take a moment to reflect...2020-09-1417 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 76: Thriving Through Change And Finding Your Heart’s Work, With Lauren ArmesFor someone who has built a highly successful business into the definitive voice for the business of wellness, you might expect today’s guest to have always known what she wanted, or at least have had an elaborate plan to create it. Yet Lauren Armes, founder of Welltodo, is quick to share that getting to a place of doing her heart’s work didn’t come quickly. Lauren spent the early part of her career undecided what to study, if she’d even like it, and eventually finding herself in a role in a manufacturing firm. It was t...2020-09-0854 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 75: It’s Time To Prioritise Feeling GoodDespite it being something we all want, most of us are not prioritising feeling good in our lives. Instead we’re choosing to worry about what others think of us, making sure we’re spinning plates for others first, and doing all the “right” things we think we “should” be doing. There’s a natural tendency to feel like feeling good is a nice to have, instead of an essential need. In today’s conversation starter I’m giving you a new lens to view this through. So that you can start to see how powerful it can be to start treati...2020-09-0725 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 74: Following Your Intuition Even If You Don’t Know How, With Sara WalkaLoving all things witchy, enchanted and fantastical, Sara Walka didn’t always “fit in” as a kid. She says she was told she was “wise beyond her years” and while that felt right, after a while it also felt like she didn’t belong. Gradually pulling away from all she knew, to do instead what she though she “should” do, led her to an meltdown. Sara shares in this episode how she took that meltdown, and a seemingly “wobbly” career path – from selling candy and being on the road, to grad school and teaching, to advocating for children with spec...2020-09-011h 04Mama JoyMama JoyEpisode 73: Getting To Know Your Desires And What Blocks You Feeling GoodHow much time do you spend considering what it is you actually want in your life? Chances are that even if you do ponder this at times, you tend to block yourself from “going too far”. We have this tendency to focus on all the symptoms that make our life feel challenging – the stress management, the time management. Which can cloud us when it comes to making decisions about what we really want. This conversation starter is about a critical theme that has the power to transform your relationship with yourself, your loved ones, and support you to...2020-08-3119 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 72: Mastering Your Relationship With Yourself, With Julie JohnsonAt 5 years old she’d made a clear decision as to what she wanted to be when she grew up. And, she did it! Working her butt off for 20 years as a veterinarian, Julie Johnson had essentially created her ‘dream life’. She’d travelled, met her husband, and was doing work she loved. Yet she was working 60-80 hour weeks, with a growing family and competing priorities. There came a point where she knew her lifestyle needed to change. She says the decision was easy, when she was asked her self one simple question (you’ll have to tune in to...2020-08-2556 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 71: Going Deep To Get To Know Yourself FullyHow’s your “small talk” game? For many years I’d go about new conversations in a way that I thought I “should”. I’d make polite chit chat about the weather and make sure I was inquiring in to everything about the other person – even if it wasn’t of interest, felt negative, or frankly, was boring to me! I’d walk away from those moments feeling exhausted, like someone had zapped my energy, and kept wondering why. Over time I’ve realised that part of the reason is because I’m a deep person. I thrive on deep conversations an...2020-08-2414 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 70: Quit Hiding From Your Joy And Appreciating Life’s Micro Moments, With Tamu ThomasWhen you’re so busy being strong and achieving, the richness of life that comes from the ordinary moments can slip by unnoticed. For Tamu Thomas, that busyness turned into increasing anxiety and panic attacks, leading her to realise she was living her life “upside down”, always putting herself last. Having come from 15 years in social work, she was knowledgeable enough to know things had to change – but how she went about it was not as you might expect. Tamu is now a trauma-informed somatic and holistic life coach, specialising in supporting women approaching their 40s and beyo...2020-08-181h 10Mama JoyMama JoyEpisode 69: Adjusting To New And Finding Your WayI tried something new this week. And I noticed how wobbly I was! We hired long-term bicycles and took them for a spin. And instead of feeling elated and excited, I noticed how I was a little nervous and literally wobbly. In this week’s conversation starter we’re talking about finding your way in a new environment—in a way that feels good, and is as unique as you are! New things can feel hard at first. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good for us. Nor does it mean they won’t get easier o...2020-08-1714 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 68: Being Your Own Best Advocate With Amparo SotoChoosing to be joyful is not always the easy choice. In fact at times leading with joy can feel in complete contrast to the junction you’re at in life. Whether you’re faced with challenges to your health, or relationship decisions, or even an ongoing stressful period at work – how you show up for yourself makes all the difference to the results you will see. Paediatric Occupational Therapist, mama to two and all round joyful being, Amparo Soto, shares some of the ways she chooses to keep showing up for herself in today’s episode. She’s ch...2020-08-1153 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 67: Freedom From Busy – It’s Not Just About Your WorkloadWhen we talk about being busy we tend to rattle off everything we have on our “plates”. From working late and deadlines looming through to keeping up with the housework, social schedules and exercise routines. Much of what we think of when we think “busy” is schedule related. How “full” our diaries are = how “busy” we feel. Yet what if there was a whole other side to busy that we weren’t addressing? And by not accounting for it, we could keep chasing freedom from busy without every really untangling ourselves? In today’s conversation starter I’m asking you to consider busy as a...2020-08-1011 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 66: From Perfectionism To The Joy Of Slowing Down, With Gaelle BerruelPressure and perfectionism tend to go hand in hand. Often the pressure builds up over time, meaning you don’t even realise how closely tied the relationship is. If you’d told our guest Gaelle Berruel she was a perfectionist, she wouldn’t have believed you. 😉 However a cocktail of becoming a mother, realising she had everything she wanted, and a performance review with unexpected feedback all led to her unravelling from busy. As you’ll hear in this episode it was all for the best too! Her joyful energy is magnetic and she now thrives in her day job in...2020-08-0449 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 65: You’re Destined For More, Here’s How To Step It UpWhat if everything you’ve been craving to create in your life was so much closer than you think? It’s just that you’re choosing to play smaller than you deserve to be? Time and time again the women I meet tell me what the change they’re craving in their lives. They want to stop feeling so busy and torn between multiple demands. They want to feel deep relief and enjoy their lives more. And, they have big dreams and vision, but they’re holding themselves back. I immediately see their strength. Their beauty. Their crea...2020-08-0316 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 64: Permission To Want What You Want With Denise Duffield-ThomasWhether you’re in a job you feel restless in, or daydreaming about the beach house you want to live in – if you want a shortcut to creating your life the way you want it, this episode is for you. Denise Duffield Thomas (@denisedt) wasn’t always “rich”. When she spent almost a decade living in London, she didn’t even own a winter coat. She has plenty of stories of starting businesses as a kid, from making bracelets to selling manure and leading the Cool Kids Club (inspired by The Babysitters Club). And while not all of these ventur...2020-07-2850 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 63: Dropping Your Joy GuiltIt’s easy to feel joyful on your most stressfree days. To “choose” to do something that feels good. But what about those challenging days? Or when your best friend is going through a really tough time? Is it okay to still choose joy?Too often the moment we start to feel good about ourselves, or our lives, an inner resistance shows up. A “guilt” for our joy.Your joy is your birthright. It’s there to be your foundation. Your strength and your pathway. The more you choose it, the more it overflows to those around you t...2020-07-2710 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 62: Rid Yourself Of Worry And Claim Your Worth With Susie MooreIf you tend to get caught up in overthinking and worrying what you “should” or shouldn’t do, today’s episode is a must for you.Having shuffled around shelter homes, moved to the other side of the world at age 18, divorced a few years later, and moved again to a foreign country with no qualifications, it could be easy to question how Susie Moore has kept her inherent positivity and joyful attitude to life.Susie is a former sales director and adviser for start-ups in Silicon Valley, now a life coach and advice columnist for some of...2020-07-211h 00Mama JoyMama JoyEpisode 61: How To Keep Showing Up As YourselfIf someone told you to “be yourself” or “show up as you” would you know what they meant?

We tell ourselves if we can just read that extra book this week or check in with that friend or read more of the news or focus on that deadline at work, then everything will feel better.What we’re really saying to ourselves is that we want our control back.And the issue with focusing on all the things we have to “handle” first, is that we only ever end up with a...2020-06-2526 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 59: Being Human, Discomfort As A Necessity And Living Brave With Dr Rebecca RayToday’s guest will draw you in with her magnetic laugh and ability to make hard things sound fun. 😉 Dr Rebecca Ray is a writer, speaker, clinical psychologist, and – most importantly – human. While she’s written multiple books, grown an incredible Instagram community and created digital courses on overcoming self-sabotage, and radical courage, she says being human always comes first. Rebecca can be found online daily, interacting with her community about finding courage and living expansive lives while going gently on ourselves.

It’s one of my favourite things to do! A mini stocktake of how things are going so far and reignition of what I most want to create in my life. So often we’re busy chasing that we forget to integrate. While I’ll most definitely still be doing the review, it feels like this year I have been feeling like I needed a few more weeks to marinate. To let even more bubble to the surface. What matters most? What’s working?

The woman I’m about to introduce you to is special for many many reasons. I’ve witnessed her transformation and dedicated commitment to her dreams for twenty years now, and yet there’s something even more magical happening right now. The more she has “jumped in” the more of her light you see. Noriko Clarke left Japan at the young age of 15 years old, to study abroad in Australia and well, never returned.

You keep asking yourself the same questions over and over again, but can’t seem to come up with any new answers? And then you’re stuck, for days, weeks even, feeling frustrated with yourself. Or, there’s a big decision to make in your life and you can’t seem to do anything about it. Instead you stay stuck in overthinking mode, believing it will eventually lead the way. This is a conversation we had recently in my Joy Club. Overthinking.

I’m just whining,” you tell yourself.  “I shouldn’t be so negative. I have so much to be positive about in my life.”  Man, oh, man! We really beat ourselves up for not being able to stick with positive thoughts all the time. The minute we start to feel negativity—like fear, anger, or doubt—we’re trained to step in with positivity.  Yet anger, sadness, and doubt have things to teach us. If we skip right over these “negative emotions,” we never get to experience life...2020-06-0455 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 54: Holding both the positive and the negative emotions all at onceI shared this blog post a few months ago about me sitting on my couch in the full sunshine feeling so calm and peaceful, only to be interrupted by this gross sewerage smell. I wanted to get all irritated, frustrated and angry about it. Quickly my mood and emotional response was shifting from calm and peaceful to cranky. I realised that I could have both. I could feel a bit frustrated and also still maintain that sense of peacefulness. I couldn’t not feel happy sitting in the sun, and yet there was still some discomfort. 2020-06-0414 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 53: How To Have Your Own Back And Mindset Shifts, With Halima SalimI am fascinated by stories. How people connect the dots from seemingly unrelated parts of their journey. And how they choose to create something that feels joyful and fulfilling to them in their lives. Halima Salim is an inspiring example of choosing curiosity and gratitude above all else. Somalian by birth, moving to the UK as a refugee at age nine, with no prior schooling – Halima went on to be the first in her family to graduate from university. She’s taught English for over ten years, and built an incredibly successful and engaged following (of over 25,000 followers) in t...2020-06-011h 05Mama JoyMama JoyEpisode 52: How Can I Build Confidence In Myself?I got asked this question recently. And it’s a common theme in many of my coaching sessions – how can we feel more confident in our lives? For me, confidence is much more about creating a sense of certainty within ourselves. Rather than it being a skill that we need to ‘develop’. Confidence comes from knowing yourself, and (yep, I’m saying it again!) how things make you feel. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking “I need to be more confident” this episode will give you a new perspective for creating that change.For more details see shownotes over a...2020-05-2815 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 51: Finding What Fills Your Heart And Loving Yourself, With Marta PeralesMarta Perales made me smile from the moment I first had contact with her. She responded to a message I left in a business group I’m part of so promptly and with so much joy it was infectious. Having left a successful corporate career in IT, Marta returned to a hobby that had been along her side for almost 20 years. Taking what she says “filled her heart” and creating a photography business. In this episode she shares a powerful story about how even though she was following her heart, she hadn’t fully allowed herself to be se...2020-05-251h 02Mama JoyMama JoyEpisode 50: Managing Changes More EffectivelyToday’s episode was inspired by me having freezing cold hands and needing to go and put my big fluffy dressing gown on before hitting record. Ever noticed how we keep pushing ourselves to keep going, despite how we’re feeling? You could be freezing but you don’t stop what you’re doing to put on an extra layer. This is how we approach our lives at times too. We want to rush through any big changes and have everything “fixed” without allowing ourselves the spaciousness to transition fully. How we handle the transitions in our life – big or small – has an...2020-05-2119 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 49: Experience Over Stuff And Changing Your Beliefs To Live More Freely With Genevieve Parker HillA creative introvert who loves people. I can certainly identify with that. It’s how this week’s guest, Genevieve Parker Hill, describes herself and there’s something so enticing about it to me. We’ve known each for over three years and have worked closely on our businesses, shared vulnerable truths about growth and failures and personal dreams – and yet, we hadn’t sat down for coffee yet. That’s how our conversations go and you’ll get a taste of the depth and magic in this one today.Genevieve wrote an Amazon bestselling book about minimalism after family hom...2020-05-1857 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 48: A strategy for shaking off indecision and feeling good about yourselfI shared this strategy in my Joy Club recently for shaking off that stuck, indecisive feeling. And, the really cool side effect? It also makes you feel really good. You’ve likely read about the value of cultivating a practice of gratitude in your life. And you probably even do “something” to bring in more appreciation. Maybe you journal, or say your three gratitudes at the dinner table each night. Have you paid attention to how it makes you feel when you do so? Research shows the positive impact gratitude has on our mental, emotional and physic...2020-05-1410 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 47: Going Against The Grain And Trusting In Your Dreams, With Sheila BotelhoIf you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to fit in with what everyone else is doing around you, this episode could be exactly what you need to hear today. Sheila Botelho describes herself as someone who has always “gone against the grain”.

How do we not get swept up by how others are feeling around us? Whether it’s their grumpy mood, their complaining about the boss, or even their pain and challenges they are facing. As an “empath” or highly sensitive person, I’ve spent most of my life deeply feeling everything around me. From worrying about the elderly lady struggling up the stairs, to taking on the pain and discomfort of loved ones with the velocity of it being my own. I’ve come to realise...2020-05-0716 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 45: Getting To Know Yourself Without The Pressure, With Martina MorrisI met Martina teaching English in a rural part of Japan over twelve years ago (or was it more?). We bonded over chocolate. And tea. And long chats about travel, relationships and what adventures we wanted to have in our lives. Parting ways after a year together our friendship never dissipated. Our Skype chats go for hours, I’ve witnessed her at least ten different homes in that time (her husband is in the military) and there’s one specific quality that has shone through regardless of how challenging or joyful that phase of her life has been: kind...2020-05-041h 02Mama JoyMama JoyEpisode 44: Creating More Time For Yourself & CoffeeHere I go again, talking about coffee. I know I know. I’ve been taking myself on coffee dates for over eight years now – and whilst I’m a self confessed coffee snob and it’s kinda about the coffee, it’s really really not. The coffee dates have been my way of creating more spaciousness in my life, giving myself permission to choose me first. They came at a time in my life when I was burnt out and realised I’d been “on” for so long and never really given myself the time to be alone. Scary at first, they quic...2020-04-3014 minMama JoyMama JoyEpisode 43: How To Be Positive And Still Talk About The Hard Stuff, With Laura Jones“Pops of positivity” is what her Instagram bio states.

The more we do the more productive we are. Yet what if productivity was actually much more about how you feel? And that if you could tap into a sustainable fuel source to keep going – wouldn’t that be better than reaching the end of the road and burning yourself out all the time?

Connection and community – we all want it. We all crave it. It’s pretty natural. Yet as adults something starts to shift and we realise that without consciously putting the structures in place, then those feelings of disconnection and isolation start showing up more.

And all of it has made her who she is today. She’s found herself for the first time ever having to consider how to think about herself first and “building a new life”.

I’m talking about the one key ingredient you could be missing in order to bring that dream to life.

You know you want it, but it’s hard to grasp onto. Perhaps you feel at times like you really want to get unstuck, you just don’t know how, so you stay stuck in a “dance” with yourself.

I’m diving into what letting it go really means and why it matters in our lives. Translating some of what we hear around creating goals and then “detaching from the outcome” into practical terms.

I used to always hold my emotions so close to myself worried what people would think if they knew what was going on inside. From the outside looking in I was strong and confident and never got upset. What I learnt over time is the more I held tightly, the more the emotions found other ways to escape and not always in healthy ways.
