My Kids Have Different Mums

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. In this episode we explore the ever-changing nature of life and relationships. Do our children experience us in different ways because of who we are when we receive them? Content Warning: Please note in this episode I talk openly and positively about my experience of birthing my children, if this topic is a sensitive one for you, feel free to skip this episode. Today, I’m looping you in on a conversation I’ve been having a lot recently - the realisation that my two kids have different experiences of me as their Mother because of who and how I was when I received them. You don't have to physically have given birth for this inquiry to apply to you, you just have to have been born. Whether you are a parent - or a child or a sibling, reflecting on and acknowledging how the conditions of our birth and the ever-changing state of our parents and carers profoundly influences the landscape in which we grow and the core beliefs we carry within us. “We all came from a birth - and I’m a big believer that the conditions of our mothers inner world and outer world all leave an imprint on us.” - Rebecca Campbell KEY TIMESTAMPS: 00:30 Exploring the portal of birth and how deeply it can change us. 01:00 How the conditions surrounding our birth can leave an imprint on us. 03:35 Opening Sacred Space. 04:21 Acknowledging the truth that my kids have different mums. 05:25 My experience of birthing my first child, Sunny. 06:39 My experience of birthing my second child, Goldie. 07:27 Reflecting on the physical & spiritual elements of birth & postpartum. 22:15 How different we are each time we have our babies. 24:10 Reflections from a soul perspective. 26:24 Today’s Soul Inquiry prompts.   SOUL INQUIRY Soul Inquiry is a practice where we enter a direct dialogue with our inner self.
