{9.5} The Motherhood RESET Method: The 5 Pillars to Raise a Healthy Mother
Listen on:
This episode has been a long time coming. This month marks 5 years since I started specialising in motherhood. And this episode is the culmination of everything I've learned so far in the journey.
When I started out I focused mainly on nutrition and diet. But while the information I had about a healthy pregnancy, postpartum recovery and replenished motherhood was sound and had the potential to be life-changing, the actual reality of making those changes was much harder.
I've found it hard, and so have my clients:
We'd talk about a more nutritious breakfast but realised they could barely keep their eyes open first thing in the morning to start scrambling eggs
We'd add in supplements but their brain fog was so bad they forgot to take them
We'd discuss mindful eating but they were so caught up in their toddler's fussy eating they could barely sit down to eat
There was a huge gap between what was ideal pregnancy and motherhood nutrition - and what was actually attainable for a mother living a real motherhood with a small or non-existent village.
I quickly noticed that helping people them with just their diet wasn't rewarding for them or me. That there was so much more to health and wellbeing that was getting in the way of them being able to make those dietary changes.
So over the years I've developed my 5-pillar Motherhood RESET Method that encompasses much more than nutrition and diet. And in this episode I'm diving deep into each pillar and what they mean for a nourished motherhood:
How harnessing your rhythms of your day, month and year helps to manage the natural ebbs and flows of energy - without changing anything else
The two parts to eating that make you feel energised and well-nourished – without using fancy ingredients
The two questions to ask about sleep - that has nothing to do with your children's sleep
Why movement and exercise are so key in motherhood - for your lifelong health
How prioritising time for you underpins all the pillars - and why it's often the most elusive for mothers
I end the episode with a short assessment for you to pinpoint exactly which pillar you need to work on - because it's different for everyone.
