No matter what you believe BEFORE you go into motherhood, there is always a moment when you realise: this isn't what I thought it would be. Maybe it comes immediately - birth was nothing like you thought, the first days were completely different. Or maybe it comes years later, when you think your life - and that of your children or your relationship - is on a certain path, and you realise: that's not my reality anymore. In that moment, there is an invitation mama: Will I open to a new way of thinking, and grieve the old way? And will I be the one who creates this change? Abby Kamen is an artist, activator, and the author of Generation WE: Healing Together to Create Better, a truly thought provoking book that looks at generational trauma and the cyclical effects of survivalism.  This podcast brought up how we deal with our own trauma,  How our kids push us to do better and upgrade our thinking,  And ultimately, how WE are the ones to do this work.  One of my fav conversations this year.  Listen, and let Abby and I both know what you got out of it.  x -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ABBY HERE: https://www.abbykamen.com/ https://www.instagram.com/abbykamen/?hl=en Abby Kamen is an artist, activator, and the author of Generation WE: Healing Together to Create Better.
