Hard to believe we have been home from our big hiking trip for 2 weeks and I have only just found the space to sit and write about it! My husband turned 50 earlier this year and as part of his “year of 50” he wanted to walk one on the New Zealand Great Walks….

I have noticed in recent months that my self care routines around exercise have fallen away. I have become swallowed up by the juggle of family life and little by little my space for myself has been let go of. I know this happens from time to time, self care is a constant process and…

Strategies for finding me-time when life is busy

November 20, 2017Linda AndersonBALANCE, ME TIMENo Commentsbalance, intentions, me time, self care

It is THAT time of year again where life seems to be constantly filled with commitments and the clock starts ticking loudly in the countdown to Christmas. It is easy to let go of honouring our own needs when life gets busy. We think that if we surrender our precious me-time it will create more…

I am a mother. I am always busy. Doing. Doing. Doing. You are a mother. I bet you feel like you are always busy. Doing. Doing. Doing. I crave the ability to be still, stop doing so much and yet when an opportunity to do just that I suddenly discover deep discomfort surfacing. Even a…

Managing the Overwhelm

Overwhelm … That feeling that you are not in control any more, there are more things on the list than you could ever tick off, and you feel like you are being pushed down a raging river at 100 miles an hour. Overwhelm … I know you have felt this. Maybe you feel it now….

This stuff doesn’t matter

I had a coaching session this week with a Mum who is expecting her second child. She had a lot of questions about how to juggle a whole lot of things in life with a toddler and a newborn. Yep … I remember those days like it was yesterday! One of her questions was “How…

I have been feeling house bound for the last 2 wee I have been feeling house bound for the last 2 weeks recovering from my foot operation but I am able to drive now.
So when a beautiful friend suggested buying me a coffee and meeting me at the beach for some fresh air and a chat it was an immediate YES from me 💗
Thanks @emilykingpens ... that was so good for my soul.

In our modern world we have neglected to support a In our modern world we have neglected to support and prepare a woman for the significant changes she will experience within herself when the mother is born. This transition from woman to mother is profound, and yet generations of women have been left to navigate this part of their journey alone.

It wasn't meant to be like this. We are supposed to gather. To share our wisdom with each other. To share our vulnerabilities. To take this journey hand in hand, to walk the path with others.

The doors to the 2021 Mama Rising Book Club have now opened and I can't wait to bring another small group of women together to explore their journey of motherhood together.

 

Thanks to Zoom we can be any where in the world together, and still gather.
We can rock our babies to sleep ... and still gather.
We can be in lockdown ... and still gather.

I am ready to gather .. are you?
It is time to gather. It is time to explore the ch It is time to gather.
It is time to explore the changes that motherhood has brought YOU, the woman.
It is time to feel supported.

Doors have opened for the 2021 Mama Rising Book Club. Link in bio.

It is time.

My 💗 is full tonight
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. 💗🏊‍♀️💗
