In this episode, Michelle talks about the experience of pregnancy when expecting a child with special needs, and how much more support a woman needs. She talks from personal experience with her having a now 14-year-old daughter with Down Syndrome, and what her pregnancy felt like for her, until she made the conscious effort to settle her mind, let the worry go, and really connect with her unborn child.
She wants these expectant mums of special needs children to know they're not alone and to seek support because of the extra layer of stress and worry they will experience so that these women look after themselves and at how they are feeling instead of burying their feelings until later.
Michelle also speaks about parenting from a self-expressed perspective, as her children have got older. Reinforcing the message of how everyone is perfectly imperfect, taking each child individually.
She believes in modeling the behaviours and ways of being we desire our children to have now and in the future.
Being present is her superpower and having her children come to sit and be with her now they're growing up, she expresses feels is as a result of them being taught to be open and talk about how they're feeling and her being a flow momma, accepting we're all going to fall, but we get back up.
Welcome to episode #20.
I love this week’s podcast because Michelle and I share a common view on how our energy, thoughts and state of mind affects our unborn babies, children as they grow and those closest to us.
