Maternal Mental Health with Kate Kripke (010 REAIR)

“The fear of being unseen is so wise because it motivates you to think about what you want more of.”
These are just a few of the words that struck me in my conversation with Kate.
In this 4-part series, Cultivate Village, we take a stand together to get real and practical about how we ensure you get the support you need, require and desire, and/or make different choices based on the resources you have.  
I've wanted to do an episode on maternal mental health for a while, but when I felt into what would really serve us, a deeper dive into you FEELING and BEING supported on all levels came through loud and clear. 
In my conversation with Kate Kripke we will explore and dive into some of the key strategies you need to actually show up in and grow in your life, including:

• It is not weak to want to be seen and loved exactly as you are. Needing support is human.
• It is a sign of strength to name the support you both desire and require. Give yourself permission to be tender.
• To receive support you have to both NAME it and CLAIM it. This requires nervous system regulation.
• Anger doesn't have to look scary, it can be empowering and motivating
• We have more support than we think. Moments of connection turns on out parasympathetic nervous system.

Throughout the Cultivate Village series, we will create space for you to tune into ways to Cultivate Village so you can live empowered, from the inside out.

Big heart,

Isabelle
