A Beginners Guide to Matrescence

November 4, 2020Linda AndersonMatrescenceMatrescence, motherhood

Matrescence. This word only entered my vocabulary 2 years ago and when it did it made such a huge difference to me both personally and professionally. Suddenly so many parts of my journey as a woman and a mother made more sense. Suddenly my capacity, as a coach, to support and guide other mums strengthened…

4 weeks of Covid-19 Level 4 lockdown

April 23, 2020Linda AndersonFAMILYcovid-19, lockdown, three kids

4 weeks of being in Level 4 lockdown here in New Zealand … done!  During this time the little nagging voice in my head says “you SHOULD be blogging. Documenting this time. Sharing your experiences.” But you know what? Writing a blog post takes more time and free mental space than I have during lockdown….

No Going Back

October 30, 2019Linda AndersonBALANCENo CommentsInner Split, Matrescence, motherhood, overwhelm

When a woman becomes a mother it suddenly feels like she is two different people, living in one body. Two different minds. Two different sets of emotions. Two different sets of desires and ambitions. Co-existing in one body, both feeling stifled by the other. Creating internal conflict, tension, struggle. As a result the women feels…

A Weekend in Wellington with kids

Tomorrow I will be up bright and early (4.50am) fo Tomorrow I will be up bright and early (4.50am) for another great ocean swim with @nzoceanswim 
My island swim friends and I are catching a water taxi across to Auckland for the race.
I have been pretty quiet in the lead up to this swim because I wasnt sure I was going to be able to do it (grrr ... injury) but yesterday I decided I was still going to have a go, even if I just swim super slow and gentle.
You see, a beautiful soul I used to paddle with in Sydney was killed in an accident 2 weeks ago ... leaving behind young children and her wonderful husband. Tomorrow her funeral will be held in Sydney.
Tomorrow I choose to swim ... because I can. And I want to really feel gratitude for that fact and send love from the ocean across the ditch to all who will miss her. 💗🏊‍♀️💗
