Do you have tendencies toward perfectionism? Are there times when you don't feel like what you have to offer is ENOUGH?
Well, I'm here to share my experience as I approach a huge test of mind, body and spirit - a black belt grading.
At the same time, this year, I've been growing a new business and learning a lot about the deep importance of self belief when you are running an impact-driven, online service business.
If you're a mother, a business owner - or dreaming of being a business owner - or perhaps you are facing your own challenges and feeling a call to up-level, well then you may relate to this one.

Meet Chris Agnos from Sustainable Human
Our response to the climate crisis is deeply rooted in our own maladaptations from the way we have been raised in disconnection from our place in nature. By healing ourselves and changing the way we parent and the way we consider our deeper connections, as families, as cultures, as humans who are alive right now, we can respond differently.
We talk about
- Permaculture and filmmaking
- Connecting how we parent with how we relate to the environment
- Stories as the way we relate to the world, as a set of beliefs that answer questions Alternatives to the traditional ‘story of separation from nature and from each other
- Humans are natural co-operators who wish to live in harmony without violence
- We are ready for a different story and to deal with conflict differently Exploring these themes ^^ with video storytelling to create a felt experience
- The importance of choosing relationship and connection over control in response to our fundamentally human insecurities.
To experience some of Chris and Dawn's stories head to https://sustainablehuman.org/stories/

When those in your circle - particularly your inner circle - make different parenting choices from you, how do you respond? In this short-form episode, Alena shares the one question you can ask yourself when you feel the heckles rising around different parenting choices.
Maybe you notice that your friend scalds their children for seemingly minor infringements of a heavy set of rules.
Or you see a stranger yelling at their seemingly angelic toddler.
How can we frame this in a way that allows us to lean toward understanding rather than judgement? And when is the right time to say something or do something? Share your sticky points in the Apple Podcast Reviews and let us know what you'd like us to research and cover in a future episode.

So often I hear parents use language like 'terrified' or 'scared' when they discuss their children becoming teens.
Why is there so much fear around the thought of parenting teens these days?
Where did it come from?
And what's another way we can approach this?
In this episode I share both evidenced and anecdotal aspects of the might teen, how we can respect this amazing and powerful part of our children's development into adulthood and how we can think differently about our role in their transition.

Ali Brahe Daddo was a household name in Australia in the 90s as a model regularly appearing on magazine covers. Life took her on adventures to LA where she started her family and built new identities as an early child educator, producer and screenwriter.
Since returning to Australia in 2016 she has continued writing and has released 'Queen Menopause' offering a new conversation on the topic and sharing her own experience and those of a few other high-profile women.
This is a quick episode but there is so much joy in it as we explore the topic of menopause and normalise it as an important topic - it affects so many of us.
Body autonomy, busting taboos and generally the joy of growing up into self realised humans are three of my favourite themes in this Episode.

Beth’s Story of Postnatal Depression and Rediscovering Creativity
Beth Platz has two young children (aged 2 and 4 years old) and has been married to her husband and high school sweetheart for 10 years. She is one year into her side hustle business Bright Eyes Custom where she sells her artworks. She is inspired by her boys and ‘squeezes it in, in the margins.
HER IMPORTANT STORY
Fourteen months into her stay-at-home-mum-journey, Beth felt she needed something for herself, and yearned to bring a bigger dream to life. She’s always loved art since she was tiny.
Diagnosed with clinical postnatal depression her doctor asked her to brainstorm ‘what she loved’ but all she was dreaming of was more sleep.
With medical support she found her back to art and was able to remember the joy that her ‘first love’ has always brought her.
She was nervous about feeling joy after a period of going through the motions and being numb in her depressed state.
In this episode we talk about....
-
Putting herself back on the to-do list and feeling the call to take care of herself ‘at a heart level’ was confronting and felt frivolous.
-
How unresolved past hurts can take us out, as we lose ourselves in motherhood
-
The radical act of asking for help when we feel alone
-
Normalising the experience of mental and physical pain following birth traumas, parenting without community support, remembering how much we need each other.
-
The courage to take action
-
You might feel alone, but remember many have walked this path
-
Birth and motherhood are a multisystem change that require multisystem support
-
The need for community during these times especially with other mums
-
Normalising frustration, depletion and recovery in early motherhood.
-
Sharing our stories so others know it, name it and seek treatment where necessary with less shame around the stigma of mental health challenges.
-
Allowing our kids to make mistakes with motherly love and support for when they fall
