The Mother Daze with Sarah Wright Olsen & Teresa Palmer
Sarah Wright Olsen (American Made, Parks and Recreation) and Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies, Hacksaw Ridge) are two moms, from opposite ends of the world, meeting for an hour every week to discuss the mayhem, magic and madness of raising their 8 children between them. Motherhood can feel overwhelming, exhausting and isolating but you don’t have to do it alone! Follow along as they attempt to navigate, ask questions, share stories, break down the everyday challenges and hopefully keep you from googling phrases like “What does it mean when my baby’s poop is green?” Grab your coffee, tea, Kombucha or favorite libation and join as they discuss mom fails, poop talk, pillow talk, and much more. These moms will engage in some brilliant interviews with celebrity friends, parenting experts and listeners like you! From the creators of the celebrated Your Zen Mama community, Sarah Wright Olsen and Teresa Palmer bring you “The Mother Daze”, a refreshing and real look in to the wild and wonderful days of Motherhood.

Replay: Spiritual Deepenings, Dream Interpretations & The Mother/ Soul Connection With Taylor Paige
What are our Dreams Really telling us? Where are our loved ones when they pass on? What is Quantum theory? Shall we discuss the rebirth of selves in death & birth? Or perhaps the manifestation & privilege conundrum? How to honor our Witch Wound? And hang on wait, there’s a real life Harry Potter like school in the UK for Mediums?! Pssst our incredible guest went there. Okay.. listen up Dazeys! We don’t like to play favourites but this week's guest, Taylor Paige completely and utterly rocked our world. We really milk this for what it’s worth, it’s not often you have the opportunity to be in the presence of one of the world's most prolific mediums, angel intuitives and birth chart readers, so we get right down to it and ask all the massive questions. We also talk about grief and its life changing passage, the difference between our Angels and past loved ones, messages from source, developing our kids psychic abilities and the age old question of, What happens when we die. Phew! We laugh, we cry and we’ve only just picked our jaws back up off the floor.Resource Links:Follow Taylor on IG: @angels_and_amethystangelsandamethyst.comAngelic Intuitive WorkshopWitch Wound WorkshopLove Life WorkshopUse code: 333 to get $33 off!Follow Sarah Wright Olsen: IG: @swrightolsenFollow Teresa Palmer: IG: @teresapalmer FB: https://www.facebook.com/teresamarypalmer/DISCOUNT CODES: • Go to www.baeo.com and get 20% when using the code MOTHERDAZE20 • Go to www.lovewell.earth and get 20% when using the code MOTHERDAZE20More about the show! • Watch this episode on YouTube here • Co-founders of @yourzenmama yourzenmama.com • Read and buy our book!
