Milf Life lessons from Yoga Teacher & Birth Doula, Amanda Vella.

“If I never had sex again in my life I would have been totally fine with that.” ~ Amanda Vella

Despite having great births, postnatal depression really rocked the boat for today’s special guest.

Her name is Amanda Vella and she’s a writer, birth doula, teacher and the founder of Illuminate Yoga, Sydney. She has a special interest in yoga for addiction recovery and was one of the first certified teachers in Australia in the Yoga of 12 Step Recovery program.

As a leader of the active birth movement in her community, Amanda has also supported hundreds of women and their families during pregnancy, birth and beyond. She works to shift attitudes around birth and raise awareness about postnatal depression.

Amanda lives in Sydney with her partner and their five children aged between 5 and 17.

In this episode you’ll learn:

how Amanda navigates the juggle of woman-lover-mother within a blended family dynamic

the importance of redefining what it means to be a “good mum”
what it looks like to take a stand for your daughter’s self-expression and desires (and why it matters!)
Amanda’s advice for raising daughters during these modern times
why Amanda is committed to cultivating and deepening the intimacy in her life and relationships
And so much more!
