Mommysattva: Jenna Hollenstein on Mindful Motherhood

Everything that they do is path and practice, and it's not about a butt on a cushion, although that is supportive in its own way for even recognizing the sacredness of the in-between moments.
Can motherhood and mindfulness truly go hand in hand? In this engaging episode of 'A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment', Scott Snibbe chats with Jenna Hollenstein, an author, mother, and meditation teacher. Jenna brings a fresh perspective to Buddhist practice, debunking the myth that it’s all about solitude and silence. Instead, she introduces the concept of 'Mommysattva'—a warrior of compassion, wisdom, and loving-kindness, designed specifically for mothers juggling the demands of everyday life.
Jenna shares insights from her latest book, 'Mommysattva: Contemplations for Mothers Who Meditate (Or Wish They Could)', and delves into how motherhood transformed her own meditation practice. She discusses the crucial role of early attachment experiences and how mindful parenting can establish and defend boundaries while teaching children valuable lessons. But it’s not just about individual practice. Jenna highlights the importance of community, explaining how connecting with other mothers on a similar path can provide much-needed support and encouragement.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for any mother looking to incorporate mindfulness into her daily routine without feeling overwhelmed. Join Jenna and Scott as they explore the dynamic world of active mindfulness and compassion in motherhood. Whether you’re a seasoned meditator or just starting out, this conversation offers valuable insights into building healthy mental habits while navigating the beautiful chaos of parenting.
