Reclaim the Magic of Motherhood with Presence and Mindfulness

Higher Self with Carina Devi

Motherhood holds some of the brightest, most magical moments of our lives - ecstatic joy, oceanic love, and the kind of wonder that makes time stand still. But in the busyness of our day to day lives, it’s all too easy to lose sight of these moments. Between the endless tasks of feeding, cleaning, and planning, joy can feel like a distant memory rather than a daily reality.

In this episode, we explore how to reconnect with the joy, presence, and magic of motherhood, even in the hardest seasons. You’ll learn simple, practical ways to slow down, shift your nervous system out of overdrive, and bring more mindfulness into your daily life. From using your breath and attention to regulate stress, to savoring fleeting moments with your child, these practices can help you feel more alive, more fulfilled, and more deeply connected to yourself and your family.

We’ll also explore:
✨ The barriers that keep mothers from enjoying parenthood
✨ How rushing puts us in stress mode and blocks joy
✨ Presence as the foundation of happiness and fulfillment
✨ Somatic and mindfulness tools for finding magic in ordinary moments

If you’ve ever felt like the joy of motherhood was a false promise or wondered how to be more present with your children, this episode will give you both the encouragement and grounded practices to shift from stress into awe.
