I write a
conscious parenting + lifestyle blog
with a mission to empower parents for
natural health and soulful living.

It's called Soul Mamma. 

I post daily shares on Instagram with a focus on
parenting, eco-living, healthy eating and family travel.

I'm also a writer for hire with a load of different pay-per-use services on offer.

Here is a podcast interview of Alena by the delightful global marketing guru and social influencer Cara Parrish

Do you literally ever just feel like getting up and heading out the front door, maybe going on a little adventure (on a bike, or out to sea)? By yourself even? I mean, I know I'm a mum and I'm not supposed to want to go adventuring, especially not on my own or anything, but I have to admit sometimes I just can't help but dream about it 😁 I completely love my children, like more than LIFE, but I still need breaks from them. These are both true: love my kids, and need space. Sometimes though I feel like I'm not allowed to have both those feelings at once, know what I mean? Why the fcuk are we so damn hard on ourselves, I do not know. It leaves me wondering... am I a "bad mum" or is this just a good ole' case of the mum-guilts? _______________ #messy_motherhood#lovingtheordinarymoments#inspiremothers #honestlymothering#mytinytribe #simplymamahood#unitedinmotherhood #livethelittlethings#momsofinstagram #thepursuitofjoyproject#letthembelittle #ourhousehold#honestmotherhood #momlifeisthebestlife#motherhoodrising #littlefierceones#acupofmotherhood #stopdropandmom#parenthood_unveiled#parenthood_moments#momentsinmotherhood#motherhoodintheraw #ohmamamoment#mamasgotthis #boldbraveyou#solovelysofree
I felt extremely proud of my young man when he asked to put his cuddly dog into a blanket wrap and then into a carrier. Monkey see, monkey do as they say. If he grows up with this amount of care and compassion then his world will be so greatly improved. I hope he carries this with him always, and I'll keep on loving him and nurturing him to model it myself. #compassionateparenting #compassionatecare
Don't you just love the power in this statement? Truth talk! Thank you Dr Shefali. How often do we forget that we are co-creators in our own lives? ______________ #inspiration #quoteoftheday #instaquote #instamum #pblogger #stayathomemum #mumblogger #igerdaily #writer #personaldevelopment #soulmamma #liveauthentic #consciousminds #goodvibesonly #thesoulmamma #feelthelove #consciousparenting #slowliving #simplelife #lifestylesofthenotsofamous #mumlife #mumsofinstagram #realtalk #ecolifestyle #metime #crowdfirecreator #nothingisordinary #ourcandidlife #soulmammaquote #consciousparentingquotes
INTRO POST Do you know my story? This here is one of my three main WHY's... may I introduce #monsieurcolebear (again, to many of you), my third and final little miracle baby. Why do I call them miracles? Because if you had met me 18 years ago, just before I met and fell in love with the father of my first born, I was a complete train wreck. Five years and a whole lot of deep personal development work later I was able to actually be a present and functional single parent to that first of my three. Several years later again, I met #mrlarge and he and I, against all odds, had a child and a marriage and then several years and a couple of big moves later, a third child born in Bath, England. There have been geographical challenges (we are from different countries), and fertility challenges (numerous miscarriages, IVF and then finally a natural pregnancy and birth at 44), and then just LIFE challenges... but through it all I have been blessed with some incredible support, some great information and very strong intuitive impulses that do not let me down. So that is why I write about conscious parenting and ethical lifestyle on the Soul Mamma blog. I feel that I have to share the incredible information that has come my way during all of this. I feel like it is an obligation almost, a deeply honoured role, to share what I have been given with others. I'd love to hear from you. Do you know your WHY? ______________ #messy_motherhood#lovingtheordinarymoments#inspiremothers #honestlymothering#mytinytribe #simplymamahood#unitedinmotherhood #livethelittlethings#momsofinstagram #thepursuitofjoyproject#letthembelittle #ourhousehold#honestmotherhood #momlifeisthebestlife#motherhoodrising #littlefierceones#acupofmotherhood #stopdropandmom#parenthood_unveiled#parenthood_moments#momentsinmotherhood#motherhoodintheraw #ohmamamoment#mamasgotthis #boldbraveyou#solovelysofree
