Happiness Mama Podcast with Heather Ash Episode 7 Camaron Brooks On Staying Present & Happy

I’m so happy to bring you episode 7 of The Happiness Mama Podcast! I spoke with Camaron Brooks, a mother of two young children who recently published her first book. In her book, Reporting Live From Studio B, she shares the real joys and challenges of motherhood and her transition from being a TV news anchor/reporter to a stay-at-home mom.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed talking with her! And make sure to check out her blog at ReportingLiveFromStudioB.com and her book on Amazon. It’s sooo good!

  • The need to be in the moment as a mother
  • Motherhood is a huge learning experience
  • Our legacy of love
  • The importance of reflection and connection
  • Tuning in to “natural sound”: anchors that help us get back to the present
  • Moving towards love, not fear
  • What is healthy striving?
  • Accepting our past
  • The importance of little victories for our children
  • How we judge ourselves
  • Why self-care matters
  • High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), walking, and having fun
  • The importance of play

  • Some advice for new mamas

Connection is why we're here. Camaron Brooks

Quotes from This Episode by Camaron Brooks

  • “My identity as a person really kind of exploded when I became a mom, and I didn’t know who I was and I think that’s because I had a false sense of identity based on career and a lot of other things. But motherhood kind of cracked that all open. We all go through that.”
  • “Connection is why we’re here.”
  • “Everything in life is a practice, there’s no finish line…”
  • “How am I treating my body? How am I taking care of myself?”
  • “I see aging as a beautiful process…”

Other Quotes from This Episode

  • “What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.” – Mother Teresa
  • “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love—from a belief in what is not real, to faith in that which is. That shift in perception changes everything.” -Marianne Williamson
