Today we wanted to talk about anxiety. This is a really huge subject, and as such we may even break it into several spin off episodes but for today we wanted to focus on the broader aspect of Anxiety in motherhood - and what it is, and how we can learn to tame it.
Now we know, there are a lot of amazing resources for anxiety, and nervous system regulation out there, and we are not going to attempt to share or highlight them all, but instead try to give you new ways of seeing & relating to anxiety, that may shift your thinking or feelings around it.Follow Adina and Steph on instagram @adinabelloli & @holisticbysteph

We are back for season 2 of Motherhood Beyond Books and we're so excited to share more on all aspects of motherhood with you. In this episode we are talking about Empty Nest Syndrome. It's that time of year when many of you may have dropped a child off for the first time at nursery, university, or boarding school, or even just preparing for that day in the not-too-distant future. The term "empty nest syndrome" was actually first proposed back in 1914. It described the slide into depression that supposedly occurred for women after their last child left home, leaving them without the daily meaning and structure provided by their roles as mothers.

In today's episode - Part 1 in the series on A Birth of a Mother - we delve into the ever-evolving concept of motherhood. Join us as we tap into both Western and Eastern viewpoints. From ancient civilizations to modern societies, the role of mothers has been a cornerstone of human existence, shaping families, communities, and cultures in profound ways. We know that motherhood can be perceived and valued differently across various cultures, shaped by traditions, beliefs, and societal norms.
What insights can we gain from exploring these diverse perspectives?
What does it truly mean to be a mother?
And how has society's perception of motherhood evolved over the years?
The journey to motherhood encompasses far more than just the physical act of giving birth. From societal expectations, to cultural beliefs, from intergenerational patterns to the depths of our own unconscious, the tapestry of influences woven into the fabric of motherhood is profound.

We wanted to create something that we wish existed. It’s called Motherhood: Beyond Books because we believe in the interconnectedness of all aspects of health and well-being. A place where we can be curious and think outside the box. We want to bridge the gap between western psychology and eastern holistic systems to provide a fresh, insightful approach to parenting.
To give you an example of what that might look like, in the second episode we will dive into becoming a mother, including sharing our own experiences. We will look at becoming a mother from the perspective of psychology, as well as socially and culturally. Looking at how ancient eastern practices restore and rejuvenate a new mother.
We are connecting the dots from physical health to mental wellness, to nourishing our bodies and souls. Join us as we explore how everything is intricately linked. In conversations that will give practical tips, tools and insight to empower us on our parenting journey. From wellbeing, to food, to spirituality and emotions in a practical manner, to foster insightful conversations that will empower and enlighten parents on their journey. Offering a holistic perspective that empowers you to navigate the challenges and triumphs of raising children.
Whether you’re a new mom or an experienced parent, our thought-provoking conversations will provide you with the tools and perspectives you need to raise happy, healthy children.
