Description

Join me this week as I talk to Dr, Kyla Smith, a Paediatric Dietitian and Feeding Specialist,  a  mum of two and founder of the Baby, Toddler and Family Mealtimes online memberships. She supports parents to feed their children with confidence, so they grow up loving food and mealtimes. In our conversation, Kyla opens up about her journey from living a fast-paced, achievement-orientated life, to embracing the transformative role of being a mother. What I especially loved about our conversation was when Kyla talk about how her identity of being a “good girl” has shaped her parenting experience and been challenged along the way. Some other themes we touched on include: ·      whether a “right way” to parent exists & letting go of unrealistic expectations·      the process of learning to tune into what feels good for you and your family. ·      finding a sense of safety within the surrender that comes with being a mother·      reframing our ever-changing identity as a mother in terms of evolution rather than loss. ·      And, the importance of recognising the social and cultural context of our experiences as mothers.This was a juicy conversation and and I hope you get as much value from listening to this conversation as I did having it.Here is where you can find out more about me (Yara), how to work with me and some resources: Why Am I So Angry Workshop *** Waitlist for The Rebirth, Group Coaching for Mamas ***This is my signature 3 months online group coaching container for mothers which covers family of origin, inner child work, nervous system basics, anger, boundaries and much more.  @lifeafterbirthpsychology   www.lifeafterbirth.com.au Free Inner Critic Workbook Free Values Aligned Living Workbook Find out more about Dr Kyla in these places:https://mealtimes.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/dr_kyla/

Life after birth is a podcast hosted by me; mother, psychologist and coach, Yara Heary. This is where I'll talk to women about their complex experiences of being a mother. You'll find me talking to experts but not how you've heard them talk before. I'll be asking them about their experiences behind their expertise - who were they before a mother, how has it changed them, and who have they become.
