The Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Welcome to The Happy Mama Movement Podcast!

Today’s episode brings a truly insightful conversation with Shradha Biyani, an editor, book writing coach, and the visionary founder of Tashi Press. With her unique blend of journalism training and a Master’s degree in Urban Planning from Harvard University, Shradha helps writers articulate impactful narratives. She has worked with numerous publishing houses, including Pan Macmillan, Westland Books, and Penguin Random House, and her workshops and coaching embody her passion for storytelling, language, and the power of shared human experiences.

We talk about:

1. A Pyramid of Mothers: Early life in India and the strong support for new mothers, from the many mothers in the community.
2. New Mothers need to heal: The essential focus on healing and well-being during the first period of motherhood.
3. The "Great Loss" in Modernity: How New Mothers are surviving without strong support and community care, and how this has affected modern motherhood.
4. Community Strength: Building strong relationships and creating a community of support available to everyone.
5. Passing down values: Being a good role model and educating the next generation about the power of community

I hope today’s episode gives you practical insights and inspiration, and if you find it valuable, please share it to help other mothers access the support and wisdom they need.
