Yoga Benefits for Mothers with Daughters with Brittney Lee

I'm not a mom, so I don't usually talk about mom/parent things on the podcast. But, in this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink!, my guest Brittney and I dive into how she was basically introduced to yoga by her unborn daughter. She talks about when she learned she was going to have a daughter, and how she decided to change herself for the better. I love how she thought about the mindset she wanted her daughter to have, even before she was born. She talks about doing affirmations together and really making sure that her daughter is confident in herself.

If I'm ever blessed to become a mom, that is something I definitely plan to do!

Brittney and I connect on the superficial things we used to equate with femininity; getting our hair permed and straightened, adding polish and acrylics to our nails, having our faces flawlessly made up, buying the most popular dresses and heels, etc. We compare that mindset with how we express femininity now.

The biggest difference is the freedom! I used to feel like I had to be pretty and made up to feel like a women. There wasn't really a choice. These days, I barely wear makeup and when I do, it's because I want to! I wear my hair in protective styles like twists and braids all the time. I now know that none of that has anything to do with being a woman or being feminine. And, yoga helped.
