Ep017: Graeme Seabrook On Helping Mothers Reclaim Their Humanity
Graeme is a Motherhood Life Coach, whose approach to coaching is based on the belief that you must be a priority in your own life in order to thrive. Following a traumatizing birth experience and falling into post-partum depression (without realizing it), Graeme began a healing journey as a mother and a woman.
That healing journey led her to creating The Mom Center, a social network and group coaching community for those who mother. The Mom Centre is a space where mothers can come to be witnessed, nurtured, inspired and supported, so that they can integrate motherhood with personhood, and not the other way around. She does this work because she believes we are living in a global culture that treats mothers as if we are inhuman, and expects us to be superhuman.
Graeme’s work is dedicated to helping mothers reclaim their humanity.
