The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Motherhood changes us. As the generation who were told we could do anything and be anything we want to be, accepting the changes that come with motherhood can be very difficult. This podcast is a collection of stories of matrescence, motherhood, womanhood and change, told by our Mama Rising coaches and mothers around the globe. Through our stories and community, we hope that the wisdom of the rite of passage of matrescence spreads far and wide, and that we can begin to change the way we see, value and support ALL mothers everywhere. Because we really need it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  #320 | NAVIGATING MOTHERHOOD AND GRIEF | WITH HALEY SMITH

  Nov 18, 202547 minS1

  Welcome Back, to the Happy Mama Movement Podcast In this heartfelt conversation, I met with Hayley Smith to discuss the often hidden experiences of motherhood, particularly in the face of grief and illness. Hayley shares her journey as a mother of three, focusing on the harrowing diagnosis of her daughter, Elsie Rae, with cancer. They explore the emotional turmoil of navigating a child's illness, the lack of support for parents, and the importance of normalizing conversations around grief. Hayley emphasizes the need for emotional tools and community support, reflecting on her own experiences with grief and the cultural stigmas surrounding it. We Discuss: Normalizing motherhood includes discussing grief and illness. Motherhood expectations often differ from reality. The diagnosis process can be overwhelming and chaotic. Emotional support for parents is often lacking in medical settings. Cultural practices around grief can provide valuable insights. Advocacy for better support systems is essential for families. Community support can significantly impact coping with illness. ABOUT HALEY: Hayley is the founder of&nbsp;Cancer Dancer, a heart-led platform supporting mothers and families through the emotional and physical challenges of cancer. A mum of three, Hayley’s world changed forever when her youngest child was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at just 22 months old. This wasn’t her first encounter with cancer—she lost her father to the disease as a teenager, whilst her mother survived cancer. These life-shaping experiences led her on a 30-year healing journey.
