Alex Field on Becoming Your Own Best Friend and Nurturing Self-Compassion in Motherhood

Life After Birth with Yara Heary

Hi Mamas.

Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Alex Field, a holistic psychotherapist and naturopath who brings so much wisdom and heart to the conversation about discovering yourself during motherhood. Alex opens up about her incredible life journey, from her adventurous days as an underwater filmmaker in Egypt to her transformational experience as a mother to two teenagers in Australia.

Alex and I discuss:

• How her time in Egypt encouraged self-discovery, and how moving to Australia marked a new chapter in her life.
• The impact that her family of origin had on her sense of self.
• Navigating motherhood when parenting teenagers.
• Why anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions in motherhood and how to approach it with compassion for ourselves and our kids.
• The concept of becoming your own best friend and how self-compassion plays a key role in healing and showing up authentically in our lives.

And much more.

Alex's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of nurturing ourselves and exploring our identities during motherhood.
