EP 12: Finding the Pleasure in Motherhood: Rethinking Desire, Sensuality & Self-Care with Regan Figg

What if the key to feeling more like yourself in motherhood wasn't more me time — but more pleasure in the moments you're already in?In this episode, I'm joined by Regan Figg — author of A Mother's Pleasure, business coach, the host of The Pleasurepreneur podcast, and former exercise physiologist — for one of my favourite conversations on the pod so far. We get into what actually happens to our sense of self when we take on the identity of "mum," why we conceal the wild, ambitious, rageful, playful parts of ourselves, and how something as simple as tasting your morning coffee can start to change everything.We cover:The "postpartum Pandora's box" of beliefs we unknowingly take on when we become mothersThe basic needs cup vs the life force energy cup — and why one can't overflow without the otherWhy sensuality has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with presenceWhy self-care as a to-do list will never work, and what to do insteadThis one is equal parts practical and perspective-shifting. 🔗 Connect with Regan: On InstagramVisit her websiteListen to her podcast: The Pleasurepreneur on SpotifyListen to her podcast: The Pleasurepreneur on AppleGrab a copy of A Mother's PleasureListen to a free Audiobook version A Mother's Pleasure✨ Links mentioned:⁠A Moment For Me Hobby Subscription Boxes⁠ – Monthly, mum-proof hobby boxes designed to help you move from survival to small, soulful self-connection through micro-moments of joy.⁠The Hidden Chapter Facebook Group⁠ – A free, supportive community of women rediscovering who they are beyond motherhood, with early box reveals, behind-the-scenes updates and gentle identity conversations.⁠In-Person Event in Wollongong – Find out more information about the in-person event I'm hosting in Wollongong for mums wanting to reconnect with who they are outside the title of "mum" & make some new friends along the way.Follow Not Just A Mum on: Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠@notjustamum_pod ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠@notjustamum.podWebsite www.notjustamum.com.au
