7. Conscious Motherhood: A Journey Through Creating The Sacred Bond, Redefining Relationships, Reclaiming Sexality & Awakening The Wise Mother Within With Stefanie Nicolaou

Welcome to the Anfisa Shimkevich Podcast.

Today I am joined by a dear friend who I greatly admire, Stefanie Nicolaou; a feminine embodiment coach, birth keeper and doula, tantric practitioner and mother. Stefanie has played a huge part in how I’ve consciously connected with my internal wisdom as a woman throughout my motherhood journey, and today she is here to share her unique perspective and authentic experiences with you. We share an honest, rich and connecting conversation exploring motherhood, relationships, rediscovering yourself and existing outside of being solely a mother.

In this episode:

• Longing for freedom as a mother and how you are pushed to find different ways to function and exist in the world

• How to consciously disconnect and take time for yourself even when your maternal instincts are strong

• How the presence of the masculine throughout pregnancy, birth and parenthood can help remind you that you’re more than ‘just a mother’

• Creating connection and co-regulation through breastfeeding to raise an emotionally healthy child

• How to use your internal navigation system to guide you through motherhood; all of the answers are within you.

• Exploring the challenges of navigating your relationship as it evolves into parenthood; how to build strong foundations and deal with conflict

• Rediscovering your sensuality, sex and intimacy after birth

• Transitioning into motherhood and how your friendships change

Thank you for joining me on this journey to self-mastery!
