Lucy Wylde

Mums F**king Matter with Lucy Wylde is a weekly podcast aimed at helping Mums to feel more seen and validated in their experiences of motherhood and matrescence.

    S2 #15 Shedding the Shame and Degrading Labels

    Shame is a huge topic. Not always comfortable to talk about of course, but necessary nonetheless. As well as healing and helpful — transformative even. Shame is rife in so many ways in society. It always has been. And a lot of the time with/projected onto women for reasons that do not make any f**king sense. But when shame is aired it has less power. (So says Bréne Brown.) And I, for one, can testify to that, in many ways. As always, please feel free to let me know what this episode brings up for you; you can contact me on Instagram, and/or at lucy@lucywyldecoaching.com In this episode I speak about: the undue shame of being divorced/separated the shame of being 'overweight' my experience of acne and skin issues feelings around growing older burlesque and sensuality STI's 'just' a MOTHER!?
