by Émilie Avon-Green
In a world that tells moms to speed up, I’m here to talk about what happens when we finally slow down. I’m Émilie — a Slow Motherhood Mentor and psychotherapist — and these episodes are basically voice notes from my real life. Unscripted, honest, sometimes messy, always real. If you’re a mom who’s tired of rushing, tired of performing, and craving a more grounded, meaningful way of living, you’ll feel at home here.

<p>I didn’t plan to record this episode. I was in the middle of doing my laundry, when a thought came to me about something I get asked all the time: how do you put yourself out there like that? And the truth is… it hasn’t been natural for me. In this episode, I share what it’s really looked like behind the scenes — the discomfort, the shaky beginnings, and the slow, intentional way I’ve stretched myself into a life that feels aligned.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>I talk about:</strong></p><ul><li>What people don’t see behind “putting yourself out there” — the nerves, the doubt, and the messy first steps</li><li>How repeated exposure (and a lot of discomfort) slowly builds confidence over time</li><li>Why you don’t need to do everything — just finding your way of showing up in a way that feels right</li><li>Letting go of the fear of being seen (and the truth that people aren’t watching as closely as we think)</li><li>Gently challenging yourself to step outside your comfort zone, in a way that still honors your pace</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you’re craving a slower pace, softer expectations, and a reminder that you’re not alone in figuring this all out — you’re in the right place.</p><p><br></p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p><br></p><p>🌿 <strong>Slow Motherhood Tools & Support:</strong></p><p>Free Quiz: What’s Keeping You Stuck in the Hustle?https://authenticlivingguidance.ca/quiz</p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Slow Motherhood Journal Pack:https:</strong><strong> </strong>//authenticlivingguidance.ca/slowmotherhoodjournal</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Mentorship Info: </strong></p><p>https://www.authenticlivingguidance.ca/slow-motherhood-mentorship</p><p><br></p><p>————————————————————————————-</p><p><br></p><p>✨ <strong>Therapy for Moms (Ontario & Quebec)Book a free consultation:</strong><strong> </strong>https://emilieavongreen.ca/contact</p><p><br></p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p><br></p><p>🌸 <strong>Connect on Instagram:</strong><strong> </strong>@authentic_living_with_emilie</p><p><br></p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p><br></p><p>If this podcast resonates, please follow, share, or leave a review so this work can reach more mothers who need gentleness, too.</p><p><br></p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong></p><p>This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for psychotherapy, medical advice, mental health assessment, or diagnosis.

<p>In this episode, I’m joined by my friend (and fellow business sister) Rachel Anne Hamelin for a fun and meaningful conversation. We talk about her new book, Permission To: A Journey of Breaking Patterns and Redefining Self, and the heart behind her new venture, <strong>Project Permission</strong> — a community movement creating space for women (especially moms) to exhale, reflect, laugh a little, and stop carrying everything alone.</p><p><strong>We talk about:</strong></p><ul><li><p>What led Rachel to write Permission To — and the patterns she had to name (and break) along the way</p></li><li><p>Her own experience with burnout, and what shifted when she stopped trying to “push through”</p></li><li><p>Why burnout feels so present right now for women and mothers — and how the state of the world plays into it</p></li><li><p>What <strong>Project Permission</strong> is really about: reflection, relief, and the kind of freedom that comes from laying down the weight</p></li></ul><p>Rachel also has a book launch happening <strong>Sunday, March 1st</strong> — you can RSVP here: <a href="https://www.rachelannehamelin.com/event-details/book-launch/form" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://www.rachelannehamelin.com/event-details/book-launch/form</a><br><strong>Follow Rachel here:</strong><br>Website: <a href="https://www.rachelannehamelin.com/" target="_new" rel="noopener">www.rachelannehamelin.com</a><br>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/project_permission" target="_new" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/project_permission</a></p><p><br></p><p>————————————————————————————-</p><p><strong>Émilie's information:</strong></p><p>✨ <strong>Therapy for Moms (Ontario & Quebec) Book a free consultation:</strong><a href="https://emilieavongreen.ca/contact"> <u>https://emilieavongreen.ca/contact</u></a></p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p>🌸<strong> Connect on Instagram:</strong> @authentic_living_with_emilie</p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p>If this podcast resonates, please follow, share, or leave a review so this work can reach more mothers who need gentleness, too.</p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong></p><p>This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for psychotherapy, medical advice, mental health assessment, or diagnosis.

<p>In this episode, I’m sharing a bit of a real-time rant from behind the scenes of editing my book. I talk about maternal mental health beyond the postpartum stage. The part that just gets labeled “motherhood” and brushed off as normal. I share what I’ve been finding (and not finding) in the research, why that frustrates me so deeply, and why putting language to mom burnout matters more than we think.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>I talk about:</strong></p><ul><li>How I don’t work in the perinatal space, and why motherhood after postpartum deserves just as much attention</li><li>What recent 2025 reports in Canada and the U.S. are revealing about rising burnout and worsening mental health in moms</li><li>How we’ve normalized exhaustion, overstimulation, and resentment as “just motherhood”</li><li>The invisible load, emotional labor, and unrealistic expectations that so many women are quietly carrying</li><li>Why naming what you’re experiencing isn’t about complaining, it’s about removing shame</li></ul><p><br></p><p>This one is honest, a little fiery, and rooted in my deep belief that mothers deserve language, research, and real support, not just memes about being tired and a glass of wine at the end of the day.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’ve ever thought, “Why is this so hard? Is it just me?”, it’s not just you. And if you’re craving a slower pace, softer expectations, and a reminder that you’re not alone in figuring this all out, you’re in the right place.</p><p><br></p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p><br></p><p><strong>🌿 Slow Motherhood Tools & Support:</strong></p><p>Free Quiz: What’s Keeping You Stuck in the Hustle?https://authenticlivingguidance.ca/quiz</p><p><br></p><p>The Slow Motherhood Journal Pack:https://authenticlivingguidance.ca/slowmotherhoodjournal</p><p><br></p><p>Mentorship Info: </p><p>https://www.authenticlivingguidance.ca/slow-motherhood-mentorship</p><p><br></p><p>————————————————————————————-</p><p><br></p><p>✨ <strong>Therapy for Moms (Ontario & Quebec)</strong></p><p>Book a free consultation:https://emilieavongreen.ca/contact</p><p><br></p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p><br></p><p><strong>🌸 Connect on Instagram:</strong>@authentic_living_with_emilie</p><p><br></p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p><br></p><p>If this podcast resonates, please follow, share, or leave a review so this work can reach more mothers who need gentleness, too.</p><p><br></p><p>—————————————————————————————</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong></p><p>This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for psychotherapy, medical advice, mental health assessment, or diagnosis.
