25.01.2022 In this fascinating conversation with Dr Sophie Brock, a Sociologist specialising in Motherhood Studies, in this week’s podcast we talk about the ways in which we’re programmed to minimise or invisibilise ourselves as mothers within the broader social construct of motherhood. We explore that motherhood is rarely an individualised experience but one that is culturally mediated to benefit powers that be and how you can break free to create your own meaningful experience. Dr Sop...hie Brock is a Sociologist specialising in Motherhood Studies and a single Mother to her 3 year old daughter. Her work advocates for the liberation of mothers from the myths of perfect motherhood, translating academic research on motherhood to the public forum. She offers online education, mentoring, and hosts The Good Enough Mother podcast, to support mothers in reclaiming an empowered practice of mothering for themselves.

23.01.2022 There is a dominant cultural & feminist narrative that says ‘motherhood is where women’s dreams go to die’, which leads many women to devalue themselves in who they are as mothers. In this episode we challenge the status quo by exploring all the ways that your motherhood is a place of expansion, and opportunity. We hope you get so see just how magnificent you are through the mirror of this conversation!

23.01.2022 ?? This is often the question I get asked. Because I have 2 amazing businesses that are literal embodiments of my heart and soul. That’s how they are.... I’m a full-time stay at home mum to FOUR children, ranging from 3 to 14 years old. Parenting remains my top value. I still show up for conscious parenting and emotional holding. I still pick my kids above my work when their needs are greater. I have a bangin’ relationship. I can push myself hard in work (like the recent book writing) but maintain a level of abundance and desire in my relationship of 20 years. I’m involved in my community...when it’s running outside of Covid I don’t sacrifice my top values because and I know who I am and what my soul needs to stay ‘on fire’. Motherhood on the way, not the way. We just don’t live in a culture that supports or celebrates that. So you don’t see it’s possible. I hope when you look at Bridget and I you see that it is. You get to be the you-est you. You get to do what you love. And it doesn’t have to come at a sacrifice of family or relationship. These are the conversations we’ll be having inside next month. Come join it’s just $39 for the month! Jules See more

21.01.2022 Ok. That’s it. I’m officially over this shit. ISO can go fuck itself. I want to cry and scream. I drank too much last night after the news. ... It kills me that industry can’t go back. This is people’s livelihoods. It breaks my heart they CANT work. It doesn’t seem like a life:livelihood balance. It’s completely fucked. I’m watching friends and family dissolve their life’s work. I’m watching mental health suffer. My house is a fucking tip. I clean, only for it to be trashed 6 hours later. It’s a fucking mental battle of sludge. There’s no end. It’s just continuous. I find that lack of completion hard. We haven’t been out walking as a family which is hurting, so we’ve decided to fuck the 2 person thing off and just start walking together. I miss my friends. I miss my freedom. I miss my family. I’m sad for my teens. I’ve had enough of living 24/7 with a preschooler So that’s my whinge. Please feel free to whinge away... See more

20.01.2022 It’s Spring in Melbourne and we’ve had a glorious taste of summer. But this stage of lockdown, despite nature beckoning us to bloom, often feels like an extended winter in the body, the heaviness requiring ninja-like daily practice to tend to. It looks like morning vinyasa yoga with kids at my feet. Bike rides. Holding space for their big feelings as a mirror for my own. The corona-coaster is a thing. I can feel immense gratitude for how privileged and resourced we are, and... then strung-out by the overwhelm of sameness, and the despair of many. I can anchor into my own sovereignty regardless of the outer world, and then feel afraid that we may be forced to be guinea pigs for va((ine orthodoxy. Any illusion of control we think we have, is being busted wide open. My 7yo is living the dream and would be quite happy if school never goes back (he’s definitely testing that 2hr exercise limit on his BMX ) My 4yo keeps talking about past family holidays and forest school. And my baby is content with talking to the chickens and a leisurely walk to the playground. These kids ARE making magic. We are not meant to mother alone. We thrive in community. And yet here we are, resisting collapse, continuing to rise, for them, and us. I see you in your fierceness & your overwhelm and I love you in all of it. Bridget

18.01.2022 In this week’s episode we interview Social Worker Caroline Ellen of Safer, Stronger Kids. We talk about the importance and impact of body safety, what we can do to teach our kids body autonomy and what can happen when we don’t. It’s a rich, deep and essential conversation that explores the many aspects of teaching children that they are the boss of their body and how we can help or hinder that development. We cover topics such as: what is body autonomy? what happens when... we do or don’t teach it the pivotal factors in teaching our children body safety setting boundaries with love pornography and grooming repairing when we inevitably misstep Caroline Ellen is a social worker and parenting coach who believes all children deserve a childhood free to play and discover.

16.01.2022 But we turned out okay! It’s just how things are done Don’t rock the boat Can’t you just be grateful for what you’ve got?... They’re statements that yield two things; mediocrity and apathy. They help to entrench the status quo, dysfunctional family patterning, archaic systems and questionable behaviour.

TRAILBLAZER, is a 4-week online immersion for leaders, movers & shakers to explore and integrate embodied activism, human behavior & consciousness to anchor your voice and honor others in theirs.

14.01.2022 As we get close to recording our 300th episode, it’s so humbling and inspiring to reflect on all that we’ve explored, shared, felt, and experienced both together & with our listeners in showing up each week for five years, in between births, babies (three between us in that time!), newborn haze, renovations, relationship challenge, and personal break (down) through. We create what we want to see, and be. We live & share who we are. We teach what we know. What we know for su...re is that this festive season, we desire to create magic. To nourish our children with our energy, enchant them with our (your!) creativity and impart ritual and reverence to last a lifetime.

14.01.2022 Imagine how different the world would be if more of us could have moved through our emotions as a child the way she gets to I said to my husband after we held space for an epic emotional release. Christmas caught up with her yesterday and so it was a day of working with & helping her integrate her dysregulation. This is what builds resilience in our kids; not fixing, minimising, cajoling or ignoring. And the beautiful thing is that we get to grow alongside them, integratin...g more of ourselves and expanding our capacity. Here’s what Sam, a mum of two, shared with us about our courses: "I have been empowered to live and parent with more authenticity, awareness, passion and courage. I have been challenged to know myself better, connect to my children with greater reverence for their innate wonderfulness and learned to love myself more. I am more at peace as a mum as a result of the breathtaking ride of self discovery my NTM courses have catalysed in my inner and outer worlds" Today is the last day to get 50% off: SOUL DRIVEN PARENTING our conscious parenting course NOW $125 L2L Program - our signature course on values, shadow, beliefs, relationship & feminine sensuality NOW $166.50 SUGAR & SPICE conscious sexuality...the good and how to reconnect it & the bad and how to heal it NOW $125 These are self-paced courses packed full of guidance, warmth and resources to propel you where you desire to be in 2021.

14.01.2022 Sylvie ditched the training wheels before she turned four, and yet still I’ve found myself irrationally frustrated at how slow our bike rides are. Maybe it’s because I need the pace to shake off the lockdown blues. Or perhaps (of course) the tension is the teacher. ... As I saw her legs peddle towards me furiously fast after a painfully slow stretch, the words go slow to go fast dropped in like a revelation. Of course. It’s the feeding and tending to the soil that creates the bountiful harvest. It’s the focus on solid foundations that makes the grand home possible. The purposeful connection and healing in the small and simple moments that imprint a nervous system for a lifetime. When I realised this, the pace was no longer a problem, the frustration gone; I got the lesson. Our children are always playing in a dynamic with us, revealing to us what we’re working to integrate, consciously or unconsciously. Explore your dynamic more deeply with our community in Soul Driven Motherhood, which features 10+ courses in our content library, plus weekly workshops OR choose from our 1:1 coaching options.

Hubris defies the supreme law of balance and proportion which governs everything in the universe and the inter-relatedness of all its parts on Icarus by Christopher Booker in @ariannahuf book ‘Thrive’. Universal laws are so interesting to me. As clearly it was to the ancient Greeks and many other ancient cultures. ...

05.01.2022 I found an old journal from 2014, my notes reflecting I was deep in the identity-transforming-trenches between evolving woman and conscious mother. Oh what that first child has taught me, and continues to - every. single. day. Our children are simultaneously both their own unique selves, and mirrors through which we experience ourselves. I often ponder where it is ‘we’ end and ‘they’ begin. Given that we all filter our reality so much that we only see a sliver of what...’s there in actuality - who are they, really? The answer is in the questions we ask, the labels we dismantle, the emotional edges we breathe open to find more love. This is what we do in Soul Driven Motherhood, our community of conscious, intelligent and wise women creating powerfully intentional paths in motherhood.

05.01.2022 An untamed mother is a woman who sees her young child’s wildness with curiosity and leans in, taking it as invitation to rediscover herself. She notices the ways that patriarchal motherhood pathologises child behaviour as something to ‘fix’, tells her she’s ‘not enough’ and measures her worth by her output. Her rebellion is often quiet. But you see it in her children’s eyes. You hear it in their rambunctious too-loud ways, and in their fervent belief in their dreams. She sla...ys dragons for their freedom. And her own. Her motherhood is activism + orgasms + power (not force) + co-created learning + entrepreneurial + financial boot camp. She will accept nothing less.

05.01.2022 People who think big allow you to expand. One of the surest ways to grow is to bathe in the consciousness of the wisdom-keepers you’re inspired by, and choose who they are for you across every area of life. Because if you don’t, you’ll stay in the animal mind and instinctually respond to the world based on your own primitive patterning and lowest-common-denominator-media-fuelled narrative. Like the one that says motherhood is where dreams go to die. ... I decided long ago that this one certainly was not a narrative I wanted anything to do with. Fuck that. And in doing so I had to very uncomfortably grow past the feminism I had earlier subscribed to in my 20s. And reclaim my body, my birthing power, and my sex. But it’s a practice, right?! Because everywhere you look there is stimulus for meaning-making based on an often-opposite cultural narrative. So what meaning do you want to make? Is it one where your mothering gets to feel expansive, nourishing and powerful, like me? Are you willing to dance with the dark mother archetype as you go there and transmute your own ancestral patterning, like me? It’s rebellious and revolutionary work. And deeply healing. Because the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our life. Could there be anything more valuable than reimagining motherhood to a place of great vision, potential and growth? We can change a generation by how whole and loved we raise our babies, wiring their brains for connection, safety and empathy. That work begins with the mothers. Join us in Soul Driven Motherhood for our ‘Reimagining Motherhood’ workshop series. We begin this week. Bridget

04.01.2022 In the last five years, Jules and I have strived for this on the podcast, and in everything we do. We don’t compromise our values nor seek to undermine the lived experience of mothers by sharing anything we don’t align with. And what (and who!) we do love we will sing from the rooftops! ... Being in integrity with yourself often means saying no. But this sacred no is the birthplace of everything you say yes to. And that’s where whole new worlds are born Bridget

03.01.2022 When we learn to expand the capacity of our nervous system to hold our child’s rage, they learn safety for it within themselves, not suppression. Here’s the next three pillars in our Soul Driven Parenting manifesto: Compassion... - We seek compassion for a child’s experience; we don’t have to understand it, to be with it - We understand learning to feel emotions can be hard, for all of us We set ourselves, and our child, up to succeed - We carry deep compassion for where we as parents have come from, and all the hurt-love stories we carry. Self-Responsibility - We hold self-responsibility for how we are as an adult; practicing self awareness and curiosity in our own reactions - We know we can change any ingrained family pattern with commitment and practice - What we see in our children, is a mirror for us. In whatever ‘edge’ we meet with our child, we ask ‘What’s here for me?’ - We are the teachers of love, setting up a blueprint for our child’s future relationships Reverence - We practice love for the whole soul; the whole human that we have the honour and privilege to raise - We are humbled by how they shake us up, to wake us up - they are the healers and pattern breakers, if we let them be - We know that all behaviour has a purpose...children have an innate ability to regulate their nervous system when supported, and come back into calm connection. - We appreciate that the laws that govern the universe, govern the family unit; conservation, polarity, attraction, gratitude, wisdom, manifestation, law of one and the many.. - We scaffold children’s learning; nurturing their innate desire to learn and immerse in what’s most important to them. Our Soul Driven Parenting course is the practical application and tools for living this philosophy and its 50% off for another 24 hours. Check it out via our profile Bridget

02.01.2022 I’ve got nothing done! What a waste of a day says my husband woefully, the grand list of jobs he wanted to do, undone. His identity, like all of us in our masculine energy, is measured by production, output, and achievement. He didn’t see or measure all the ways he provided beautiful care for our children, but I did; I do it every day. ... Respond to the (seemingly endless) requests for food. Start writing an email. Stop to be with our toddler on the floor, shielding her from bumping her head, mid-tears and big feelings. Back to the email. Nope, four-year-old is climbing the pantry. Intervene. Seven-year-old needs help with a writing task. Onto that. Back to email. Toddler needs a nap. And on it goes. ‘Nothing’ actually is EVERYTHING. It’s a matter of changing your lens of perception & the value you place on it. Who needs a perspective shift in your world? Bridget

01.01.2022 Thousands of hours spent laying beside my babies as they fall asleep. And I wouldn’t trade them for anything. I’ve been reflecting on these choices as we’re immersed in the day by day relentlessness of 24/7 mothering in lockdown, where my edges are far more revealed, calling me into deep self inquiry. In what ways and circumstances *could I* embody the opposite experience and set of parenting values?... What do I make that mean about me if I did? Whose voice have I internalised that makes that wrong? What is soul and what is social conditioning? If I remove any attachment I have to how my children ‘turn out’ or perceive my parenting, are my choices still in integrity with my truth? What do I need that is most nourishing right now, to find the wisdom here and expand my capacity? Maybe you feel called to be with these questions, too. Bridget
