  • The Essence of Motherhood: Healing Through Flowers with The Naughty Naturopath Mum
    Mar 12 2025

    In this episode of 'Holding Space for Her', I welcome the wonderful Alicia, affectionately known as the Naughty Naturopath Mum, to discuss her intriguing journey and professional evolution. Alicia narrates the whimsical origin of her distinctive brand name, stemming from her rebellious nature and early entrepreneurial efforts on Facebook, prior to launching her website. She shares her transition from a practicing naturopath to devising a niche focus on flower essences, particularly after becoming a mother.

    The conversation provides deep insights into how Alicia effectively juggles managing social media with her family life. We delve into the mechanics of flower essences, exploring their role as vibrational remedies that support emotional health without physical side effects, making them safe for all, including pregnant and breastfeeding women.

    Alicia emphasises the paramount importance of emotional health, particularly for mothers who often grapple with postnatal depletion, overwhelm, stress, and sometimes depression. She explains how chronic emotional imbalances can significantly affect physical health. Highlighting the energetic bond between mother and child, Alicia discusses how a mother’s emotional health can directly influence her children, especially those under seven years old, who share an energy field with their mothers.

    An intriguing part of the discussion focuses on two of Alicia's key blends, Mama Magic and Mojo, designed to support mothers' emotional wellness. Mama Magic, the first blend Alicia formulated, came into existence from her personal experiences and has since helped countless mothers. Mojo, on the other hand, was inspired by her journey to regain confidence and energy post-pregnancy, incorporating elements that boost self-esteem and motivation.

    We also cover the intuitive process of choosing the right blend from Alicia's comprehensive website, which categorizes blends based on emotional needs, making it user-friendly for customers. Additionally, Alicia explains the circumstances under which a custom blend might be more suitable, especially in cases of specific traumas or significant lifestyle changes.

    Lastly, Alicia shares the most popular blends for children, such as Focus and Slow Down, which are particularly effective for neurodiverse kids. She highlights the flexibility of using mists and blends, especially for younger children under two years old. The episode wraps up with Alicia explaining the various ways to contact her for personalised advice and customer service. Tune in for a heartfelt and educational conversation on nurturing emotional health through natural, holistic remedies.

  • Learning to Love the Body That Made Me a Mother. My Journey to Body Acceptance Post Partum
    Feb 26 2025

    In this week's episode of 'Holding Space for Her,' I dive into a deeply personal and vulnerable topic - accepting my postpartum body.

    Building on the positive feedback from our episode on holding space for mothers with neurodivergent children, I felt inspired to share my journey. I break down my experiences into three phases: denial, a breaking point, and a breakthrough moment. Through sharing my struggles with imposter syndrome, body image issues post-pregnancy, and my eventual path to acceptance, I hope to offer insights and support to other mothers facing similar challenges.

    I reveal the importance of understanding hormonal imbalances, the impact of sleep deprivation, and the natural biological changes that come with motherhood. Additionally, I share practical tools like meditation, journaling, and scientific research that helped me shift my mindset.

    Join me as I openly discuss my transition from self-criticism to finding a newfound respect and acceptance for my body, all while encouraging you to embrace your own journey with love and patience.
