Today's ep is with Jane of @doingmotherhood. Jane is a mother of two and a mental health occupational therapist specialising in matrescence and the perinatal period, currently working at @themindfulbirthmovement.
Jane joins us to discuss:
This is such an insightful episode. Jane describes how motherhood is unique because most of us are really thrown into parenthood without any real opportunity to learn or practice the skills and tasks that come with mothering. It makes sense then, that our sense of self and confidence may be rocked through the experience, and that this can have flow-on impacts to our functioning. Jane shares why this all occurs and what we can do about it.
Jane offers the newly launched ‘Birth of Us’ antenatal program - a program designed to help parents step into parenthood with confidence and practical knowledge.
Resources, counselling and support are also available at The Mindful Birth Movement.
