In this episode I talk about allowing ourselves to be seen in our process - not as a performance, not as a polished “final version,” but as who we are: human, messy, in motion. I share a story from the ReWilding Motherhood Facilitator Programme, where one of my facilitators-in-training was terrified about leading a session. Instead of trying to hide it, I invited her to name it, to begin with “I’m nervous, I’m going to take a moment to ground, and I invite you to join me.” Not to get rid of t...

In this episode I talk about one of the phrases that comes up again and again in my world: don’t let the perfect get in the way of the perfectly good. And I’m laughing because, naturally, it’s one of the things I still have to keep learning. I used to think podcasting meant jingles, editing software, studio microphones, the whole formal performance. Which meant I didn’t record unless the stars aligned: tech working, time available, brain switched on, quiet house, childcare sorted (ha), and ze...

In This week’s dog-walk ramble episode I talk about celebration…not the champagne-clinking, prosecco-fuelled kind, but the quiet, personal kind we’ve never been taught to recognise. The kind that looks like noticing yourself rather than performing an achievement. Big success? Claps, applause, gold star. Small everyday survival? Nothing. Next. Move on. Do better. We explore why so many of us ( hello straight-A girls, “do it perfectly or don’t bother,” high-functioning mothers, productivi...

Instead of letting my own perfectionism and procrastination get in the way, I’m uploading this straight from my phone, entirely raw. It was recorded for my Telegram group for The Catalyst, a free 3 day activation for mums done living on mute and ready for mutiny. So if you’re not in there, you should probably correct that immediately www.courageandchamomile.com/catalyst. We start Tuesday. This episode happened because a woman in the group perfectly demonstrated what we all d...

I had a really crap night with the small last night and so this morning I had a choice...I could choose to let that and the ensuing tiredness infiltrate, colour and control my entire mood and day. OR I could choose a different story. This episode is taken from a ReWilding Live I did inside my free facebook community Rewilding Motherhood and invites you to become aware of what exactly it is you are choosing. What are you missing out on day to day with that choice? ...do you even realise it's ...

The other day somebody asked for advice in my free ReWilding Motherhood community...she was looking for advice on how to move through a trigger that she has. The reaction she had in the comments from other members of the community was interesting and so I came in to do a live and explain what triggers actually are and how we might want to deal with them. Since it resonated so much with that audience I also wanted to share here with you...plus a little end note about what happened next. So,...

I have lost track of the amount of times I've heard "I don't know" from the women I speak to. I don't know is a big red flag for me on several levels, which I go into here. Are you somebody who says "I don't know" a lot? Then listen in! Then come let me know how it landed for you at [email protected], in my free facebook community Rewilding Motherhood, or on Instagram. x

Or is there? For somebody who has a lot of Libra in her chart this is a most curious statement...but hear me out, it's not what you think ;) If you struggle with balance and often feel very much out of it, this is for you. As usual, I'd love to hear your thoughts and reflections either by email [email protected], in my free Facebook Community, 'Rewilding Motherhood' or over on Instagram. Emma x

I recently received 2 emails in a very short space of time telling me they didn't appreciate my swearing. I found both my reaction and my subsequent musings interesting and decided to share in the context of what 'rewilding' as mothers means to me. This episode is taken from a weekly live I do inside my free facebook community group Rewilding Motherhood...come play if you're not already over there. How does this one land with you? I'd love to know. Hit me up at hello@courageandc...

For me the Solstice is like a giant pause & reset button. A chance to reflect where we've been, where we're at and where we're going next... ...which is only possible if we actually press the bloody pause button and not just rush straight on with our lives, head down, getting through it all. Just Stop. Pause. Breathe. Take Stock. Listen in to hear how my super simple, flexible & effective Stop Pause Breath tool can serve you at this midway point in the year. The free f...
