| 6/18/25 |  #310 | HOW TO ACTUALLY EMBODY SELF-COMPASSION | WITH BELINDA HAAN | Welcome to this episode of The Happy Mama Movement Podcast. Today, I’m joined by mindfulness teacher and founder of The Compassion Project, Belinda Haan. With warmth and honesty, Belinda shares how perfectionism and self-doubt marked her early motherhood years—and how compassion, not criticism, became her most powerful tool.We talk about:Unrealistic BeginningsHow the "Huggies ad" version of motherhood left Belinda isolated, ashamed, and exhausted in her early years as a mum.The Deepest RegretWhy self-criticism is often the harshest parenting voice in our heads—and how seeing her daughter clearly helped Belinda rewrite her own narrative.Practising What We PreachHow running honest, real-talk mother’s groups made Belinda realise it was time to embody self-compassion in her own life, not just teach it.Barriers to KindnessThe nervous system realities that make self-compassion difficult—and how to gently meet yourself when you feel most undeserving.Tender, Not PrescriptiveWhy self-compassion isn’t a one-size-fits-all script—and how small, embodied gestures can shift your whole day.This is a conversation full of quiet revelations and radical permission. I hope it reminds you that you are never alone in this—and that kindness, towards yourself, is not something you have to earn. If this resonates, please share it with a mother who needs to hear it too.ABOUT BELINDA HAANBelinda Haan is a mindfulness teacher, creator and humble guide to the full joy, catastrophe and sacredness of life.As an Ambassador of Compassion with Stanford University, she founded The Compassion Project—a heartfelt initiative delivering practical, research-backed tools to reduce suffering and cultivate compassion.Its first resource, The Emotional Support for Mothers Toolkit, provides the missing piece of modern mothering with a practical how-to for nervous system support, emotional self-regulation, resilience and wisdom. Grounded in the day-to-day of parenting, it treats mothers as real people—supporting them to meet all of motherhood with more confidence, ease and self-compassion.A mother of two, Belinda created this work to offer solace, inspiration, and meaningful tools for families everywhere.RESOURCES:Website: The Compassion ProjectInstagram: @thecompassionproject.au Hosted on Acast.

ANGELE CLOSE | Welcome to this soulful and deeply honest episode of The Happy Mama Movement Podcast.In today’s solo Mama Rising story, we hear from Dr. Angele Close — clinical psychologist, author, and motherhood coach — as she shares her personal matrescence journey.What began with the excitement of becoming a mother to three children unfolded into a deeply transformative path through burnout, grief, intergenerational trauma, and ultimately, healing.We’re invited into her story — one filled with honesty, insight, and a reminder that we can parent with more compassion once we learn to extend that same compassion inward.In this episode, we explore:When Motherhood Doesn’t Match the MapHow early expectations about parenting clashed with the emotional intensity of raising three neurodivergent children.The Invisible Inheritance We CarryWhy our reactions to our kids’ big emotions often reflect unprocessed wounds from our own childhood.The Name That Changed EverythingHow discovering matrescence mid-pandemic gave Angele a framework that lifted years of shame and confusion.Meeting the Self WithinHow Internal Family Systems (IFS) helped her heal deep wounds and show up with more calm and confidence.Parenting from the Inside OutWhy voicing our mixed feelings and being compassionately witnessed is one of motherhood’s most healing acts.ABOUT DR. ANGELE CLOSE:Dr. Angele Close helps moms navigate the transformative journey of matrescence, combining the insights of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to heal old wounds, break generational cycles, and embrace motherhood with more self-compassion, joy, and authenticity. A clinical psychologist, motherhood coach, meditation teacher, and author, Angele works with moms one-on-one, facilitates local mothers’ circles, and has an upcoming book on how to integrate IFS into the matrescence journey. Her work is grounded in personal experience and the belief that motherhood can be a powerful path to healing and wholeness.RESOURCES🌐 Website: www.drangeleclose.com📸 Instagram: @drangeleclose🎥 TikTok: @cyclebreakingmomma📘 Free IFS Resource Guide: Available via her website Hosted on Acast.

| 6/4/25 |  #308 | WHY SUPPORTING THE MAMA IS WHAT NEURODIVERSE KIDS NEED | WITH STACEY ERIN | A fresh perspective for the overwhelmed motherWelcome, dear listener, to another honest and heartfelt episode of The Happy Mama Movement Podcast.Today, I’m joined by the remarkable Stacey Erin — Social Worker, Therapist, Coach and a fiercely loving mother who works with families navigating the social and emotional wellbeing of neurodivergent children. With deep compassion and no-nonsense wisdom, Stacey names the invisible weight so many mothers carry — and offers both fierce truth and tender support in return.We talk about:Why it’s not your fault — how Stacey powerfully names the systemic failures that leave mothers unsupported, and why recognising this truth can be deeply healing.Permission and grief in motherhood — the unseen grief that comes with letting go of the motherhood ideals we imagined, and how simple words of validation can make all the difference.The power of boundaries and micro-moments — from closing the bathroom door to dancing in the hallway, Stacey shares small, sustainable acts of self-connection for overwhelmed mums.Reclaiming the feminine — exploring how modern motherhood is steeped in ‘masculine doing’ and how we might return to being, feeling, and honouring our own rhythms.Finding your village — why it’s vital to connect with other parents of neurodivergent children, and how Stacey is creating online spaces for shared understanding and laughter through the hard.Take what you need from this conversation and pass it on — because when one mum feels seen, we all move closer to collective healing. If this episode speaks to you, please share it with your people so more mothers can feel supported, validated, and reminded they are not alone.ABOUT STACEY ERIN:Stacey Erin is a Social Worker, Therapist, Counsellor and Coach for mums, children and adolescents aged 3–16 years.

She emphasizes that grief is not just about death, but any significant change in life, including motherhood.Normalizing grief in motherhood: From the loss of identity to everyday transitions like a child’s first steps or starting school, Ilana explains how grief is a natural part of motherhood. She highlights the importance of language, validation, and grief recovery tools in helping mothers understand and move through these complex emotions.Grieving who we were while embracing who we’re becoming: Ilana explores how we can hold both grief and gratitude—acknowledging that it’s normal to mourn parts of our past selves.Leaning on community through nonlinear journeys: From motherhood to loss, Ilana reminds us that healing isn’t meant to happen in isolation.
