Episode 18 - Creating more connection for our children and ourselves with Angela Wellman

In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking to Angela Wellman. Angela is a passionate women’s events facilitator who loves connection, community, nature, parenting and sisterhood. A mother of 4 children ranging from 16 to 2 years old, she is passionate about supporting mothers and creating deep sisterhood connections. Angela has a wide range of experiences delivering programs in areas of Community Building, Cycle Awareness, Aware Parenting, Non Violent Communication and Non-Verbal Women’s Temples, focussing on self-care, nourishment and deeper connection. In this episode we talk about how Angela discovered Aware Parenting with her 3rd child and she describes her experience of practising AwP later and the journey of learning to apply this approach with her family. We talk about connection for our children, as well as the vital need for connection to self and to other women to help with motherhood and the isolation that comes from lack of community. We discuss how to lovingly say no to our children and how to navigate the struggles around screen time. She shares her mantra of “Connection over Control” and shares with beautiful authenticity how she has used repair with her children in the harder moments.
