Welcome to this week’s episode of The Happy Mama Movement Podcast.
Today I’m joined by Lucy Wylde — coach for women and mothers, matrescence guide, personal trainer, and perinatal wellbeing specialist.
With raw honesty and poetic strength, Lucy shares the story of her early experiences of motherhood — from medical trauma and personal betrayal to powerful reclamation — and how she rose from the fire to support others in doing the same.
WE TALK ABOUT:
- The Birth She Never Expected
How five days of labour and a traumatic emergency C-section shattered her sense of safety and control.
- When the Body Breaks and the System Fails
Why we need to stop asking new mothers about their babies and start seeing them — especially when the system doesn’t.
- Rage, Burlesque, and Reclamation
The healing power of movement, performance, and allowing the primal truth of our motherhood stories to be expressed.
- Shame, Affairs, and the Myth of the Perfect Mother
Why Lucy believes we need a new language for survival — and how finding comfort isn’t a failure but a lifeline.
- Becoming the Shield Maiden
From trauma to poetry, Lucy reflects on the death of an old self and the fierce beauty of becoming your own protector.
Lucy’s story is one of heartbreak and hope, rage and resilience. I hope it leaves you feeling less alone, more seen, and ready to take up space in your own journey — no matter where you are right now. If this episode speaks to your heart, please share it widely so other mothers can feel held, too.
