With Bridget in the thick of newborn-dom and shifting family dynamics, we take this opportunity to dissect what’s at the heart of shifts like this, meet the beliefs that are asking to be transformed, and show you a path towards seeing the mastery in all of it…even (and especially when) it feels hard and ‘mucky’. In… Continue reading NTM 212: Newborns, Siblings, Family Dynamics
When we feel lost and challenged in our motherhood, we often look outside ourselves for the answers, and in this day of information on demand and social media we can find ourselves ’subscribing’ to a person or paradigm and then comparing ourselves to this constructed ‘ideal’.

Toddlers! Argh! They can feel like a rude awakening after the beautiful baby-bubble – and for many of us, the hardest part the parenting.

If even 1mm of space can dramatically alter a babies position… Continue reading NTM 206: Birth and women’s bodies

One where you develop skills to move this galvanising feeling, so you can feel the hurt it’s masking… Continue reading NTM 205: Meeting your anger in motherhood
