Mumma Got Skills: Women's Circle

Women’s Circle by Mumma Got Skills came about from the many many incredible stories I have had the pleasure to listen to in the postnatal craft groups that I run in Queensland, Australia. Becoming a mother may be something that women have done for thousands of years however, it does not take away from the profound transformational nature of this sacred journey. Women’s Circle is a space to share the stories of local women in the hopes that their words may support, validate or shape your own journey.I personally have been on an immense journey of growth since having my son in December 2017 and I love to connect my community with resources and support in all things personal development and parenting. Get ready to hear from women just like you as well as a sprinkling of chats with experts in different fields relating to women and motherhood.I am so very excited to share this space with you. Welcome.

October 25, 2021 • Season 1 • Episode 6

Welcome to episode 6 of Women’s Circle! However you have found us, we are so grateful for your time and hope you get a lot out of hearing stories of local women. Today I have the pleasure to speak with Britney Staples and Ellie Kersevani. These two incredible mums work together in the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit and went through pregnancy not once BUT twice together. I met these women at one of my first earring workshops almost three years ago and they have come to many since. I have always been inspired by their enthusiasm and excitement for life and just had to sit down and chat to them.

We will be discussing:

- Pathways to Nicu Nursing

- Friendship during pregnancy

- Sharing the mental load with a friend

- Preparedness for Motherhood

- Working through comparisons in pregnancy and motherhood

- Motherhood as a priority over work

- Knowing yourself and your strengths

- Self-care as a full-time mum

- Separation anxiety

- Conscious partnerships

- Empathy and connection in nursing post birth

- Documenting the birth journey for high-risk pregnancies/ births

- Sweet reminders for birth

- Finding your support network before giving birth

Welcoming you to the space.

Love, Carlie
