Whoa, mama! 29 episodes, 1400 Facebook group members, and 22,000 downloads later the Mindful Mama Movement podcast is wrapping up a successful Season One.
In Episode 30, Ashley and Shannon reflect upon the early days (recording the first 8 episodes on the floor!), to their favorite moments and interviews. The recording process (complete with interruptions from a potty training toddler). And the quotes that stuck with them as mamas on their own journeys.
Ashley and Shannon plan to take a bit of a summer break to enjoy time with their families and further cultivate their individual businesses before returning with Season 2.
In the meantime, you can find Shannon at A Free Spirit Life and join her monthly membership for women who want to move from a life of stress and overwhelm to one that supports joyful, authentic, creative and mindful living. Visit HERE for details on the circle and HERE to learn more about her one-on-one holistic life coaching services.

In today's show, Episode 26, we decided to try something new in honor of Mother's Day. Rather than interview a guest or chat together, we are sharing personal stories about our own journey in motherhood. This week Shannon shares her story and Ashley will share hers in the next episode.
Shannon shares more about her birth stories, how all of the births were so completely different and how powerful it was going through each one.
Shannon reflects on some of the lessons she's learned from her boys, including how wonderful it is to be different, that we all bloom in our own timing, how important it is to practice letting go of control, how to accept what is and how to trust herself, her children and life.
The full circle moments she's experienced though these different births and raising three awesome kids, has taught Shannon how to stop being afraid - how to be brave and honor the challenges, imperfections and celebrations that come on this crazy joyride called motherhood!
Happy Mother's Day to you beautiful mamas.
