Behind the Mother Mask

View Details

Today I'm back with a short and sweet episode on what advice I'd give my 20 year old self, and the things I could have done with knowing. I certainly don't want to change the past - it's lead me to where I am today - but perhaps those biggest pieces of knowledge I'd whisper to Annie of 20 years ago.

What I talk about in this episode:

➡️ That it's never too late to heal but it’s always never too early to learn!

➡️ How understanding my multi-passionate self (ADHD) would have allowed me such acceptance in my younger years

➡️ Taking care of my body from a holistic standpoint - our bodies are our home and to be kinder to myself

➡️ Some of the things I could have leaned into more, the things that excite me, the things I'm drawn to

➡️ And therefore, some of the things that I could have repelled that were not serving me well

My husband Dan and I recorded this episode on my 40th birthday!! Dan is asking me a list of questions - we’re calling it 'Annie’s alcohol-free conscious pub quiz' 😆 - catchy eh?! But as you'd expect the questions are a little more in-depth and reflective compared to what you'd usually find in your pub quiz...

Some of things I talk about in this episode:

➡️ Summing up the past decade and what I can take with me into the next 10 years

➡️ What I've learnt about myself in the past that I want EVERYBODY to learn about themselves

➡️ Dan asks me if I could go back, would I change anything? And what would I want my former self to know?

➡️ The films and songs that have represented / impacted my life so far - you know I LOVE my music and the messages hidden within films that resonate with you

➡️ Bonnie asks: “What were you born for mummy?”

This episode is about finding your voice, which can be scary but going forth and doing it anyway is liberating! I am here in real time, as usual, talking about my REAL life, not the highlights only, not the difficulties only, but ALL of it including the in between parts that we often glide over

What I talk about in this episode:

➡️ Why finding your voice can be an ongoing process throughout life

➡️ I can struggle when it comes to the mundane everyday things in life, but we can't avoid them, they're part of it, but speaking my truth helps massively

➡️ Being more creative with how to 'create the space' I need to keep my nervous system in check when life changes

➡️ Taking the plunge/first steps towards our bigger vision - AND IT'S BIG! We're going through a big change, we’re no longer just talking about it, we’re doing it

➡️ The importance of needing to express how we were feeling during this change - speaking your truth is non-negotiable

Today’s episode is special. It is a conversation with a previous client Gail Jones. Gail is a Mum of two girls, a Wife, a Librarian, a lover of books & learning, and so many other wonderful things. She came to me feeling completely lost in herself, with constant anxiety, over criticising herself and a list of physical symptoms to show for it. I am immensely proud of Gail to see the glowing version of herself that she is today, and can’t wait for you to hear it too.

What we talk about in this episode:

➡️ Gail shares with us who she is and her story from 2020 detailing what stage her health and life had got to when she decided enough was enough and it was time to seek out help

➡️ Feeling a little lost in her everyday purpose besides taking care of her beautiful family - who was taking care of Gail? And why wasn’t she taking care of herself?

➡️ How her body was conveying a message to her through the physical symptoms she was getting including severe gut reactions to foods and dramatic weight change

➡️ Fear of other people’s opinions and judgments, how badly this was affecting Gail's life, and how she has managed to overcome this

➡️ Constant worrying and catastrophising the future

➡️ Getting to the root cause of Gails people pleasing, where it stemmed from in childhood and birth

➡️ How Gail’s health and life is different now compared to 2020 and what are the daily and foundation steps she took

Today I'm back having a conversation with the incredible Dr Naomi Fisher. Dr Fisher is an independent clinical psychologist and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) consultant. She specialises in trauma, autism and alternative approaches to education. She works with children, adolescents and adults.

I came across Naomi's work very recently, and how timely it has been for us as a family! The current schooling system has many benefits and suits some children well, but not all children flourish in the same setting and this is what we are talking about today.

Dr Naomi has very kindly offered 50% of her online course My Child Is Not Fine At School until February 14th - CLICK HERE and use Discount Code MOTHERLODE50

What we talk about in this episode:

➡️ Dr Naomi shares her work, her mission and what led her to looking at the schooling system differently when it came to her own children

➡️ What Dr Naomi thinks is the cause of children not being fine at school and what she sees professionally when working with families

➡️ The emotions parents can often feel in these situations when their child does not want to go to school and what to do next...

➡️ Which interventions might be worth trying, but for how long and what exactly are they

➡️ What are the first step in creating an environment in which children can thrive

Changing Our Minds: How children can take control of their own learning

Today, we’re talking all about ENERGY. It is such an important aspect of life; a necessary part of life, and especially if we want to live one of vibrancy and purpose, which I know we all do!

I’m going through the layers of the onion one at a time so we can properly understand where our energy is going to and how to harness it better. So, notepads at the ready for this one - it's going to be very useful.

What I talk about in this episode:

➡️ Awareness that your energy may be depleted, and what this looks and feels like in the day to day

➡️ Our emotions are energy in motion. If we can manage our emotions and energy - we can do anything!

➡️ Reclaiming your energy can feel overwhelming as a mum - think 'the invisible mother load'. What are the visible and invisible energy drains, but also the energy radiators

➡️ You know I LOVE identity! What is our Identity and how this ties into energy - it's all connected

➡️ A practical exercise to find out 'Where is your energy going' through helping you identify what your common patterns are

Today's episode is the solo first episode for a while after sharing the spotlight with my lovely husband as a guest for the past couple of shows, and before that I had the honour of talking with YOU ALL on your 2022 reflections!

Well today, it's back to ME! Talking about the reality of change and creating 'a new normal'. I share some hard truths and including where I am at currently - in the midst of the storm of change, trusting my choices (and that of my child and the universe) and NOT SETTLING.

What I talk about in this episode:

➡️ When old patterns and feelings creep back in - what are they trying to tell us

➡️ We have a BIG change to our family dynamic - Bonnie is leading her and us out of the school education system. We've known this was coming for a while but now is the time

➡️ I speak about having the courage to embrace change and creating a new 'normal'

➡️ I'm sharing my steps on "Navigating the Storm of Change'

➡️The thing we can learn from Dolphins & Buffalos - it will make sense when you listen, I promise!

Hello and welcome back, I hope you enjoyed last weeks episode with my husband Dan and myself. If you haven't yet listened to it, I highly recommend you go back and give it a whirl, as today's conversation is the continuation from that particular episode and it will make much more sense! In this episode we finish talking through our reflections from 2022 on our hardships, challenges, heroes, highlights, parenting and more!

And yes our wonderful daughter Bonnie makes an unplanned appearance, not once but twice, because that is life, it's our life, and its beautiful! It's also very fitting with a lot of our conversation today being about parenting, our honest and real experience with being parents.

Some of the things we talk about in this episode:

➡️ My journey of continuing to go ‘maskless’ and putting into practise speaking my truth

➡️ For me, hardships with complicated family relationships and struggling to hold space for Bonnie’s emotions

➡️ Facing my avoidant parenting which I would do to avoid triggering my own inner child wounds BUT through this came an even greater parenting CONNECTION

➡️ Both of us discovering how important it is to make time for one another even when it feels like there isn’t time, and the routine practices we do as a commitment to each other

➡️ Dan highlighted his challenges of not being able to find the words to use to help Bonnie and I in times of emotional dysregulation, but the AWARENSS of this leads to growth and massive learning

➡️ Dan’s wise advice of ‘don’t forget to have a vision for your own relationship’

Last week I promised you this and I have stayed true to my word - today's episode is with me and my HUSBAND - Dan! What a legend to agreeing to this. But, in all seriousness, I am incredibly proud of him for coming on the show to talk about his personal struggles and achievements from 2022.

It was a real, honest, in depth chat (a snippet into our conversations at home really!) about our own reflections, both individually and together. It was that in-depth that we now need to record a part 2 - which Dan has agreed to - we have the proof in the recording so stay tuned for that also!

What we talk about in this episode:

➡️ I share my hardship from 2022, particularly at the beginning of this year with ADHD, PMDD, post-covid inflammation - it was a dark place!

➡️ The wonderful ‘heroes’ in my life this year - Jo Gamble, Dan and Jen. And of course Bonnie - our evergreen hero and teacher

➡️ Why my highlight was also my darkest time 2022 (new level, new devil)

➡️ Dan bravely sharing his 2022 year of growth in terms of his health and personal development

➡️ Dan opening up about the struggle as a man to voice his emotions, and his vision for the future to positively influence this for himself and others

➡️ Dan’s powerful words of wisdom after reflecting on 2022 - what a year it's been

In this weeks episode I'm reading out the incredible responses from our community of STRONG, BRAVE & INSPIRING WOMEN. This episode truly is YOURS, and it was an absolute honour to share it with you all. WOW, just wow!

I’m blown away with all the responses to the 'Your Reflections from 2022' questions. There is so much in this episode and thank you for being so open, honest and courageous. You truly never know what someone else has gone through or currently going through until you ask, and listen!

I’m also going to warn you that I cry, more than once in this episode, but feeling our feelings is where its at, right?! I know you know that!

Thank you to all you who were part of this episode, I appreciate and feel even more connected to this tribe now. I present this episode with compassion, pride, inspiration and joy at the people you all are and are constantly becoming.

Meet some of our inspiring women:

➡️ Louise lived through financial hardship and struggles being a business owner, Mum and more in 2022 but by finding herself a coach/mentor has helped her believe in herself and realise how capable she is!

➡️ Karen, Mum of 2 says “Breathe, take things easy…don’t be so hard on yourself”. She’s had a an eye-opening year. It included giving birth to her 2nd child, separation from her partner. She pays thanks for her support group of friends and colleagues for their acts of kindness who helped her get through

➡️ Naomi, Mum of 3 shares her most challenging yet freeing year yet. She watched her brother successfully go through rehab which inspired her to ditch the booze and is now fully embracing feeling like the warrior she really is, loving herself and not relying on validation from others

➡️ Carol’s year has been one of bravery. Her children also needed her more than ever this year and as well as being there for them she began training in NLP and came to terms with past trauma that had impacted much of her life. She found using her ever growing understanding, training and tools to help herself and her family

➡️ Joanne came to terms with an ADHD diagnosis in October this year. While the diagnosis itself didn’t change anything physically it did give her a huge sense of validation, and answered those questions she’d had for most of her life. It allowed her to move forward with life in ways that work for her and her family

➡️ Maz shares her challenge when her then 11 year old daughter came out as transgender along with losing her parent within 3 weeks of each other, and how listening to inspiring podcasts, going alcohol free and prioritising her health has been one of her greatest achievements and strengths.

➡️ Lucy has learnt when it’s time to finish a relationship and why! And the importance of sharing her truth in order to help others is life changing. She further developed her love and understanding of matresence and is fully embracing doing great things in the world

➡️ Laura's 2nd pregnancy was filled with extreme sickness and ill health, followed shortly but her two children being diagnosed with serious health conditions. She pays tribute to her husband but also to herself for the unwavering grit and determination she found within herself this year

➡️ Caroline suffered from post-natal inflammation and began the journey of healing her gut, mind and insomnia. She found peace and healing through mediation, breath work and self-care. It was so powerful, she now runs retreats helping Women connect back to nature and is awestruck with their transformations

➡️ Her lifelong relationship with anxiety and constantly fearing the worst

In this episode, I'm talking about why Christmas can be a challenging time with many social engagements, pressures, and traditions.

In this episode I talk about:

➡️ What lead me to this 'Christmas awareness', my Christmasses of the past and what they looked & felt like

➡️ Who may benefit from looking at themselves in this light

➡️ What Christmas has taught me - bringing awareness to the patterns that no longer serve you

➡️ Values, Values, Values & the best gift you could give yourself this Christmas

➡️ I share my own values as an example

➡️ The importance of small, practical steps

➡️ Seeing things as a opportunity to practise knowing your worth

Today I'm back with an episode detailing my relationship with alcohol. I said a permanent goodbye to alcohol 3 years ago and it's been a journey back to myself ever since!

Here, I’m chatting to the lovely 'Sassy Sober Mum' Teri all about my sobriety journey as she interviews ME for her podcast SOBER STORIES.

I had Teri on the podcast a few months ago but this time she asks me to share my thoughts & experiences with alcohol, getting sober and rediscovering who I am.

If you listen my podcast on a weekly basis (how amazing - thank you so much!) then you are used to me sharing many aspects of my life. I’ve mentioned before that I no longer drink alcohol, but I haven’t shared the in-depth deets on my past drinking & substance use over the years. It was the thing I turned through to get me through situations - it was my emotional crutch.

In this episode I talk about:

➡️ What my relationship with alcohol looked like in the past

➡️ What was the pain I was feeling when I was turning to alcohol as a crutch

➡️ Binge related disorders and what it's saying about us

➡️ Some of the crazy things I did when I was drinking

➡️ The 5 o’clock drinking as a Mother to help me 'cope'

➡️ What was the breaking point/turning point

➡️ When & how did I give up alcohol

➡️ My sober reflections 3 years later

Disclaimer: I've changed the free masterclass mentioned in this episode slightly but I think you going to LOVE it even more!

Today's episode is about a client of mine who came to me thinking 'it was all in her head'. This client felt frightened of her limitations and deficiencies. She was plagued by the belief that she was not enough for her daughter and was a burden to those close to her. This had gone on for long enough that she began to believe it was herself who was the problem, that she was broken, and that it was all in her head.

How many of us have felt like this before? I bet it's a scary number!

In this episode I discuss:

➡️ My client's story and what made her seek out help

➡️ Her environment and how this impacted her

➡️ The importance of gut health, inflammation and depletion

➡️ Hormones and how they are the messengers trying to tell us something

➡️ Her beliefs, past trauma and generational imprinting

➡️ Functional medicine testing and what this uncovered

➡️ How she gained awareness and began a journey of learning, and relearning

➡️ How we joined all of these pieces of the puzzle together and what that looked like for her

Today, I'm joined by a fab guest and author of the brilliant book - "This is How Your Marriage Ends" - Matthew Fray.

Matt is a relationship coach and author who leans on the lessons of his own failed marriage and divorce to help others avoid making the same mistakes that he did

Matt talks about his own divorce and how he journaled to the internet in a bid to make sense of why it happened and as a way to process his grief and anger

He discusses his book "This is How Your Marriage Ends" (HarperOne) which he says often happens not with a bang, but with a whimper

What we discuss in this episode:

➡️ Matt openly and honestly shares his story with marriage and divorce

➡️ Matt's thoughts on the daily behaviors that can lead to relationship 'sickness and death

➡️ How divorce impacts a family dynamic when children are involved

➡️ Matt's 'She divorced me because I left a glass by the sink' blog that went viral, and what the meaning behind it really is

➡️ The 'invalidation triple threat' and how this can erode trust and safety in a relationship over time

➡️ How Matt feels we can learn from these experiences and how to teach the next generation better skills so they are more equipped for relationships

➡️ Why Matt believes we often hide behind a mask and suffer in silence

This is a brilliant episode, not just where marriage and divorce may be concerned, there's definitely no one size fits all, but for anyone who wants to invest in their relationship so it can THRIVE!

Today's episode follows on from My ADHD Journey Part 1 & Part 2 (if you haven't listened to those, I highly recommend you check them out!). In this episode I'm talking you through the invaluable information I got from cutting edge scientific functional lab testing, and how I used this information to get a clearer picture of what was REALLY going on behind the scenes at a cellular level and how this was influencing EVERYTHING else!

In this episode:

This episode is the part 2 to my ADHD journey released last week. However, it's not just about ADHD because that wouldn't be looking at the bigger picture. It's also about overall health and how to use this information to EXPAND and EVOLVE.

We look at TRAUMA as it's a biggie, we talk about purpose and mission, our emotional immune system, the balance of our nervous system, deep-rooted beliefs and so much more!

In this episode:

If you know me, you know I love a good quote or an analogy so we'll go through some of the most relevant to ADHD and all that it encompasses
Pulling back the self-discovery layers
The cycle of grief, why its important, how we can work through it and all its stages
Cognitive vs. Embodied breakthroughs
Finishing on some prompting questions to help you understand the why behind those patterns

I would LOVE to hear from you - please let me know if this episode resonated and your biggest take home. And if you could leave me a rating and review to help spread the word to other Mums about life Behind the Mother Mask, that'd be brilliant!

Today's episode is one very close to my heart as it's my own personal experience with ADHD...part 1. If you listened to the first episode of this podcast 'Growing Through A Sh*t Year!' then you will have heard me mention ADHD among many other things which happened that year.

I like to think of ADHD less as another label that I have no influence over, and rather as a SUPER POWER I can definitely influence, and harness!

For anyone curious about looking into ADHD further, I will leave the link for the online platform 'MyPace' which I personally used CLICK HERE

In this episode I talk about:

My ADHD timeline & journey
ADHD symptoms I experience
Having both ADHD & PMDD
The role emotions play in ADHD
Being a parent with ADHD
What I believe are the contributing factors of ADHD
Wise words from others in this field

Also, just a little reminder that I will be hosting a FREE WEBINAR really soon...

In today's episode, I continue the conversation from last week and take a deep dive into IDENTITY. If you feel stuck in inner conflict, disconnected, unhappy, and unsafe in your own skin, you are in for a treat! By the end of this episode, you are going to have way more clarity to why this is and with WHO YOU ARE!

Identity is where lasting change happens but it's also the source of a lot of suffering especially when you don't know, love, and trust yourself.

If you feel stuck in self-doubt, overanalyzing, overthinking and not being able to make a decision. And you are stuck in over-compensating patterns of behavior - chronic people-pleasing, perfecting, performing, and pretending AKA wearing the mask that says you have it all together when inside you feel like you're falling apart. Relate? Then this episode is definitely for you!

Also, a little reminder that I'm hosting a FREE MASTERCLASS. If you like today's topic then you will absolutely LOVE this masterclass. I'm beyond excited to virtually meet some of you and to help you make some radical shifts.

'You are more than a mum! And your kids need to know that!'

Today's episode is a conversation around an important topic that is still brushed under the carpet. Some of you may have come across Teri from her Instagram account @sassysobermum, but those of you who have yet to meet her and be inspired by her, I'm delighted to introduce you.

What we discuss in this episode:

Teri talks freely about her addiction with alcohol from her early teenage years through into her adult life
The breakdown of her relationship after having two young kids and finding herself at a crossroads, her life-changing overnight and further turning to drinking to 'help her cope'
Being vulnerable is what is connecting her to other people who are feeling similarly and allowing her work to grow and reach more people
Finding healing in sharing her story and vulnerable moments despite them being her deepest darkest moments
Teri shares about trying to understand the root cause of her drinking and the key points from her childhood which influenced this. Why she didn’t love or even like herself!
How she can use reflection from her childhood to influence her parenting for the better
Finding an acceptance towards herself for how she parents her children. There’s no rulebook in parenting and we can’t be perfect all the time but reflecting and talking with them is important. Communication being key between her and her family - Amen Teri!
'Fun Mum' being the mask she wore and hid behind. Joining the 'Mummy Wine' culture almost gave her permission to justify her drinking
Teri’s mission of trying to break the stigma around drinking. Regardless of how much you drink if it’s used as an escape to cope with life - learning how to feel your feelings instead of dumbing them with a substance
Not getting wrapped up in the shame of who you used to be under the influence...“you were a good person trapped in a bad cycle”
Her new feeling of gratitude and peace that she now lives with everyday

Today’s episode is a solo episode…with a twist. I’ve brought in my incredible friend Nic Greenock to ask me questions about getting through some challenging times in my life.

And as always I feel like I bring my whole life story to the party! (Nic does a great job at keeping me on track). What can I say, there's a lot of difficult times to choose from (no sympathy needed). But today I focus on one significant challenging period of my life - my transition into Motherhood, which presented one of the most difficult times in my life AND which also became my awakening.

I think reflection is such a powerful resource. I know when you're 'in it' it can feel all-consuming and overwhelming. It's easy to get stuck in the problem. But what I also know is often your magic is on your mess

In this episode, I'm doing my best to be open and honest and bring you 5/6 of my most valuable life lessons to date when it comes to navigating difficult times. With the hope, it will offer you a fresh perspective when it comes to responding to both life's daily challenges and the unexpected curve balls.

In this episode we discuss:

➡️ One of the most difficult times in my life

➡️ What I uncovered and learned about myself

➡️ The big life-changing turning point

➡️ How this changed me and my perspective on life

➡️ My 5/6 biggest learnings to date

➡️ How this helped me evolve as a person as well as change my approach to future challenges
