Meditation for Modern Motherhood with Laura Coleman of Be.Modern Meditation {S2E2}

Listen on:

Today I welcome Laura Coleman of Be.Modern Meditation onto the podcast. Laura is a meditation expert who started meditating when her own two children were quite young and discovered the profound, life-changing effects meditation had on her and her family.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How Laura started meditating and how it caused a powerful shift in her parenting method

  • The science of meditation and the physiological changes your brain goes through when you meditate...and equally why it sometimes feels impossible to control our reactions

  • How meditating can help mothers in the early days

  • How to get started and stick to a routine

This is the sort of episode I wish I could shout about from the rooftops and distribute to every mum as they leave the maternity ward, because I think it’s really just so important, and could make all the difference to how we experience motherhood.

I was really inspired to get going with a regular meditation practice after this episode, and I hope it inspires you too.

Laura's top tips to get started on meditation:

  • Download the Insight Timer app and listen to her 5-minute meditation

  • Set yourself a challenge to listen to the meditation once a day for three days or a week

  • Find a community for support and accountability (Laura runs a free Facebook group)

  • Start where you are - don't try and change your routine to make it happen; fit it into the day where you can naturally bolt on a meditation

  • Let go of needing it to be perfect - do it wherever you are

Since our interview, Laura has launched a free short course called Ninja Mind Skills Training Series which I highly recommend signing up to as a starting point!
