Listen "1. Floundering and Flourishing: Welcome to the Jungle with Anneliese Lawton"
Episode Synopsis
Why do so many of us lose ourselves along the journey to womanhood and motherhood? Instead of living the flourishing life we envisioned for ourselves, many of us end up floundering and losing our identity along the way.
In this episode, parenting writer, maternal mental health advocate, and author of Welcome to the Jungle, Anneliese Lawton, shares how motherhood, postpartum depression and a health crisis led her to down a frantic path of self-discovery.
Anneliese shares some of the pivotal moments where she lost herself along the way and discusses how navigating the motherhood journey and all its challenges eventually led her back to her true self.
Anneliese Lawton is the author of Welcome to the Jungle, A Frantic Journey Through Motherhood and Self-Discovery. Anneliese is a Canadian gal with a big passion for maternal mental health. She had three kids in under four years and has lived to tell the tale. After reading dozens of self-help books, listening to podcasts, and writing for dozens of parenting publications – Anneliese learned that validation from other moms was key to feeling supported in motherhood. This mama of three (who wears too many hats) is Gabrielle Bernstein meets Workin’ Moms, meets the mom-next-door. With her, nothing is off-limits, and she hopes her writing will inspire, empower and help other women find joy and peace within themselves.
Here are some of the topics we discuss:
● How a quick post Anneliese wrote on Facebook went viral…leading her to realize she had an important message to share that the world was eager to hear
● How Anneliese’s own struggle with anxiety and postpartum depression led her to becoming a maternal mental health advocate
● How a health crisis led her to hitting rock bottom and made her realize she needed to learn to love who she was on the inside
● How finding her voice and sharing it contributed to her healing
● The negative messages girls receive in the formative teenage years that lead them to believe they can’t be who they truly are
● How women fall into the trap of thinking they have to be perfect, especially in the age of social media
● How finding meaning and purpose in her mental health journey has helped Anneliese to speak out and inspire other women
● How even though some days she still feels like she is floundering in motherhood between piles of laundry, missing mittens and forgotten lunch bags, Anneliese’s journey of self-discovery had led her to feeling like she is flourishing in the sense of who she is now
