I struggled with pregnancy, I didn’t like the loss of control over my body
Everyone’s experience of motherhood is different. Some women get pregnant straight away. Some women sail through their pregnancy. Some women’s babies behave according to the textbook. The truth is, motherhood is a mix of highs and lows. The trick is to just be in the moment because this too will pass.
Intrigued?
Then sit back, relax and listen to find out.
On this episode, I’m joined by Amy Goodall who found herself thinking that she might have missed the boat only to be blessed with a beautiful daughter.

A bit about Amy
This is Amy Goodall, the Branding Alchemist.
Her life’s purpose (aside from Mumming) is designing the most ‘perfect-for-you’ visual love language for ambitious female brand founders. The insane result of this is internal validation to be your most absolute free, authentic self and it allows you to show up in the way that lights you up the most. The right people will start to easily find you, and will pounce on every new thing you launch, making work feel the best that it ever has.
The thing that has surprised her the most about being a Mum is the sheer, messy, complexity of it all; and how little control she would have over so many situations. It’s taught her a huge lesson in humility, and most importantly to choose her battles wisely. She also had no idea she’d spend so much money on snacks.
Tell us you’re a Mum without telling us you’re a Mum: the insane amount of snacks in the cupboard. And the generally un-groomed appearance of her hair for the last 9 years!
The best thing about being a Mum is one day, you realise you have a new best mate who will open your eyes in ways you never knew were possible. It’s mad-magical!

      Everyday! Whether it's someone under incredible stress trying to meet impossible deadlines at work, someone who has taken drugs you meet in the street or public transport, a relative with dementia or suffering from another mental illness, even someone suffering from PTSD. Emergency services, solicitors, retail staff , professions from all walks of life, We all meet irrational people more than you would imagine. I think you are saying that we can control our own actions in order to influence the outcome we want. But sometimes people we interact with don't act logically or predictably.

      Yes. It's about putting ourselves in the best frame of mind so that we can show up in the best way that will serve us and those around us. As you say, some people may not act logically or predictably and we have no way of knowing that. We can decide what actions we take to respond.

    I used to be scared of the dentist, I really made a conscious decision to not pass it on to my kids, so I used asked to excited about going to the dentist, and my kids would be excited to too, I used say how I was so excited to go that I wanted to go first, then give in and let them go first. Then, as they got older, I would say how they were so lucky that they get to go to a dentist to clean their teeth, not ever child gets to go, they are so lucky they were picked to be allowed to go. They felt like they won a competition. It really is mostly your outlook and your stories in your head that make up most of the fear.
