EP.31 | WINNIE WU | PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPIST | HOW TO PLAN FOR PREGNANCY AND BIRTH | POSTPARTUM IS FOREVER PODCAST Postpartum Is Forever

52:33

Today, on the podcast, I speak with a delightful mother named Morgana. Morgana is the mother of three children, currently aged 7, 5, 3. I first met Morgana when she was pregnant with her first baby as she came to see me for pregnancy massages and stayed connected throughout all three of her pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences. Morgana speaks about the wobbly early days, and why having someone their to just focus their attention on you, as the mother, is vital. She talks to both the joy and the overwhelm and offers a great tool for when things get too much! I love that Morgana shares that she is 'proud of herself' as she has witnessed her own 'growing up' through and with her children and how she is finally able to see herself in or own wholeness and pursue some of her passions, outside of motherhood. Over the twenty years that I have been working with women, there have been countless mothers I have supported that have also taught me so much, by witnessing their dedication, courage and tenderness for their families. There are also those that leave a special place in my heart, Morgana is one. Enjoy!…

I really believe that the catalyst for growth and transformation is when women and mothers own their experiences, process them thoroughly, do the inner work of healing and share their stories with other mothers. And this is exactly what my intention was for this podcast. So, today in this solo episode, and in a number of follow up episodes, I will share my own motherhood story, my journey through matrescence and how it all unfolded. If you’re resonating with the content, make sure you listen to the follow-ups episodes as part of this series. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.instagram.com/motherhoodwithketurah/ https://www.motherhoodwithketurah.com.au/…

Other topics include: Possible reasons for painful sexual intercourse Pelvic girdle pain, including pubic, sacro-iliac, and side hip pain, and why this pain is common, but not normal How to exercise during pregnancy What exactly is the pelvic floor and how to do those exercises properly Perineal Massage as a way to prepare for birth The various programs and services that Winnie's team can offer to couples at any stage of their journey I'd encourage you to watch the Youtube version of this episode as Winnie offers a visual explanation of the pelvic organs, bones and surrounding tissue by use of her model pelvis.

Today, I speak with Kimberley, a mother of a spirited 19 month daughter. We share a candid, yet light-hearted, conversation about the realities of bringing life into the world. There are many nuggets to take away from this conversation, such as shunning the term 'bouncing back' in favour of acknowledging the 'upgrade' you gain in your new role as a mother and that our children are not blank canvasses, they are born as whole people, with innate wisdom and character. Kimberley highlights to importance of self-care practices as not being selfish, but essential as a mother-child unit. When the mother is looking after herself, she is not taking away from her child, she is giving back. Kimberley also touches on her corporate work, AND Vedic Meditation, something she practices daily and teaches on a individual and group level. You can feel Kimberley's warmth and sincerity in her 'village' approach to motherhood. Enjoy the episode! https://www.kimberleychanmeditation.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/ms_kimberley_/…

This episode brings you an exhilarating conversation with Amy Taylor Kabbaz. Amy began her career as a dedicated ABC Journalist and Producer and was driven by her work for 15 years. She honestly believed that becoming a mother would not impact her profession...until it did. In 2015, having brought herself to the edge of overwhelm and burnout trying to prove that she could “do it all”, she stepped away from a lifelong dream of working for the ABC to dedicate herself completely to the understanding of motherhood. Amy knew that what she had been through was something too many mothers were experiencing. Her search path took her to the office of Doctor Aurelie Athan at Columbia University in New York and Amy finally understood the answer she'd be seeking. It came in the form of a word...this word was Matrescence. With the help of Doctor Athan, and many other mentors, Amy has offered awareness, education and training to more than 5,000 mothers through her online programs, coaching, events and her book, Mama Rising - Discovering the New You through Motherhood. Amy believes that when mothers understand the milestones and markers of Matrescence, they can navigate this time of their lives powerfully - without overwhelm, perfectionism and shame. This is a thought-provoking episode for ALL mothers because just as Postpartum is Forever, so Matrescence is Forever. Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am proud to share with you that I am educated and trained through Mama Rising. This is an exceptional course for anyone who is wanting to gain further understanding of their own Matrescence, enabling them to education and guide other mothers through Matrescence. In 2019, she launched her world first Matrescence Coaching Training and now has over 250 coaches globally, and in 2023, established the Global Matrescence Foundation with the mission to change the way mothers are supported and valued in the world, whether in the boardroom, birthing suite or outback.
