Yeah the Mums Podcast

IN MOTHERHOOD WE CAN ALL BE CONNECTED THROUGH A THREAD:

A RED THREAD https://www.redthread.nz/

Silver Fern and NZ Beach Volleyballer Anna Harrison has taken on the challenge of starting a Charity for Mothers to be Connected Through Movement. Breaking down the barriers movement in Postpartum and taking her understanding of loneliness and accessibility from her own Motherhood journey to support all Mum's in our community.

She talks on her journey into and through sport (and not being pigeon-holed into one sport), the challenges small sports face on the big stage, what Motherhood has looked like for her, especially with a strong identity of herself in sport & what starting a Charity from scratch has been like so far.

Delving into the secret life of a Podcasting Mama... 

My version of an introduction. With a history of where Yeah the Mums came from (thanks Dad) and the new identity shifts I am experience as a Mum as I navigate my way through rugby from refereeing to coaching and whatever is beyond that.

LIVING THE LIFE THAT WAS MEANT FOR HER

Anna Taylor has been dealt cards in life that many people could never imagine. From a Cancer diagnosis in her teens, to Cauda Equina in her twenties. She spent her whole life finding solace in the competitive drive of sport and it has become a space, even on the hardest of days, where she chooses to return to. 

At school she found competitive swimming, in her teens and twenties she put her soul into rowing - finding herself at a level alongside some of New Zealand's best (without having the opportunity to fully prove this). Now? She has an olympic medal... like she always dreamed of. Yet, this one is from the Paralympics, with so much emotion, life experience and dedication behind it. Anna says that Para sports and the Paralympics are the best because EVERY athlete has a story behind them, jump in this episode to hear the story behind ANNA.

CREATING HAPPINESS IN NEW SEASONS

Georgia Tong is a Netballer and Magic Stalwart as a defender. She started her career later than most and put herself in front of the right people, knowing her worth and what she was capable of. Holding down multiple jobs and commitments only shows her capacity as a High Performance Athlete... but can lead to burn out and decisions like playing netball in another country while experiencing a miscarriage. 

With her brain and herself then becoming her biggest work on, she reached her peak and then chose to walk away. Stepping straight into pregnancy and her impending Postpartum Era. This Hapu Mama continues to work hard in her businesses and Mahi and gets the opportunity to slow down with her baby girl soon.
