I feel like yall (and Eamon and Bec and several other ppl of your current generation) are going to be the first generation of parents who raise children without trauma, with connected relationships, and project positivity into the world. I hope I live to see that world. ❤
We do hope to see that world but it won’t happen that way. Great challenges are coming in the next few years - world war 3, volcanoes, earthquakes, financial crash etc. the only answer is to turn to God.
Bec what a beautiful thing to allow such a hard circumstance to transform you instead of crush you. Witnessing your transformation is a blessing. Thank you for sharing.
I love women period! This video is such wonderful representation of female energy and the amount of love we carry around through our sensitive nature. There’s such a deep rooted connection to empathy. This feels like a warm hug or a blanket or a hot cup of tea and cozy socks. Thanks for sharing
I think the hardest part of becoming a mom for me, as someone who had a really traumatic childhood, is knowing and seeing and feeling the all consuming love I have for my daughter and sadness that my parents weren’t able to give me a happy healthy home and that their best really wasn’t enough and was the opposite of that. But at least I know she will always feel safe and loved with me and in our home ❤
I came here to comment something very similar but couldn’t think how to go about wording it… as someone who holds so much “mommy baggage” and abandonment from my mother.. the second to last question shook me to my core.. I did not deserve to be treated the way I was treated, there’s nothing I did or didn’t do to deserve what happened to me. I am enough, I am deserving of unconditional love and I am capable of being the mother I needed.❤️
Absolutely loved this conversation, thank you so much for the beautiful questions Raya and to Bec for her openness with her answers. Our children are the ultimate gift in so many ways.. they have so much wisdom to impart on us and we are so lucky to be able to experience this level of feeling and learning that motherhood gives us 🥰 looking forward to more videos like this! - Emma 💛✨
I cried through all of this. It brought me back to the early days of my motherhood. My kids are now 19 and 21 and trust me, those feelings for them never change. Enjoy your journey girls and never forget the difference you are making in the world.
I cried pretty much through the whole video because so much of what was said hit home for me. You’re both amazing people and carry so much positive and warm energy. Your littles are going to grow up to be amazing just like you. Thank you for sharing your story, sharing your energy, and your light. 🥰
I tell my grown up kids all the time to watch every single day all the magic that young children have within them. Every little thing is magical to children and the body exudes such joy and happiness. Much joy and magic to all parents ❤❤💗
Love you both dearly. I am cuddling my 6 month old listening in. This is my third kiddo but because I had him so late in life, most women in my life are no longer in this phase. Watching both of you ladies go through motherhood with your babies has been so healing to my soul. I am so happy Bec is doing well. Was so worried when she didn’t post for months. I love both your channels!
I have a 7 month old daughter and we are meeting with our new mom friend in a few hours and I can't wait to tell her she is an amazing mom as you told Bec. What a gift we can give to other people so easily. Much love y'all ❤
Yeah many of us did not have Moms who were able to communicate like this. But we have to remember they didnt know how to because they didnt get it with their Mothers either. OXOXOOX
@@bohoxplorer840 my mother was mentally abusive and allowed and defended my physical abuse as a child then she and my church blamed me. My grandma had my back but she is gone.
@@bohoxplorer840 mine considered me her youngest daughter. Which really set off my egg donor and her equally evil sister Birdie ( as in jailbird because she keeps stealing from school districts)
I am not a mother but a 24 year old girl, who has a complicated relationship with my mother. It made me have a complicated relationship with myself and I can't tell you how much I learned from this ❤
As a Mom of two sons 10.5 and just shy of 7...this was so inspiring and I wish I had this when my sons were born. Inspires me to make a video with friends as each stage of parenting is a new challenge we get to learn & grow in.
sitting here sobbing. im terminally ill and i struggle allowing myself to do arts because there’s always something medical i should be doing instead and this made me realize that it is also healing for me to do things that give me joy. the medical stuff will be there when i finish. thank you. thank you. thank you. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
This was so lovely and necessary for so many Mums. My daughter is 38 and I was a very young 24 year old with elderly parents and no one to talk to but listening to you, Raya and Bec made me so aware that at that time I had no idea of what motherhood meant to me let alone understood it. This makes me feel so unbelievable sad for both my daughter and myself. I didn’t have a particularly supportive or man in touch with himself or his emotions. We were too young and I had a lot of issues from my childhood. I couldn’t/didn’t breast feed and it wasn’t until many years later I felt the massive guilt, deep sadness that I allowed certain things to persuade myself not to try. I think women from a young age need far more open talk about being a parent. I often find myself feeling so ashamed at various mistakes I know I made and I wish I could go back in time and re-do things so differently. You two lovely ladies are super Mums and Eamon and Louis are wonderful partners to share your beautiful, precious little ones with. I had an old fashioned partner who didn’t consider it was his ‘Job’ in any way to share caring for our daughter, which made us all the more harder for me and everything that doesn’t or does occur in a child’s life is picked up by them and my daughter is an example of this. I’m trying to be there for her and give her the loving space in which to talk about anything she still feels sadness about. I also need to be open in my part as her Mum. It’s really sad still and I love her so much that nothing is more important. Guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for both being so vulnerable and honest about your experiences of motherhood it has helped me ‘feel my feelings’ and revisit certain times with a new beautiful baby and l perhaps tell myself that “hey, you did the best you could and yes if I could possibly go back and change certain things, of course I would, but all I have is today to be honest about those times and be open to talk with my daughter and respect her truth and experience without taking it personally from a negative place within my heart. I need to really give myself a break and tell myself I did a pretty good job and everything I did in did from a place of unconditional love. 🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️
You are both incredible moms. Bec, you are an absolute inspiration…to moms, to women, to human beings.! The love coming from you ( in you) is so beautiful and bright. Frankie is so blessed by you 💖
This was such a wonderful video!! You both inspire me in so many ways, especially about being present. After I watched this, I went downstairs and was intentionally very present with my family. Thank you!
Bec’s advice to a new mum is really similar to something I have said to my friends who were about to become mums - feel free to ignore all the advice you are given and do it how you feel comfortable. I think it is so important we empower parents to do things in the way that works for them, rather than feeling like they need to ‘conform’ to what other people think. Raya and Bec, keep being awesome mums on your own terms!
This was so beautiful. Thank you for doing this Raya & thank you for having Bec as your guest today. Tomorrow I will be 72 years old and I hope to never stop growing and learning about how wonderful it is to be a woman at this time. In this past week I have learned even more, at a deeper level, that it’s OK to ask for whatever it is that I need. I am worthy, I am enough.❤
Loved this so much!!! All my babies are grown and have flown the nest… And my youngest daughter is newly pregnant and I think these kind of conversations are so vital to the health and well-being of women everywhere and especially new moms… I think in days long, long gone there were support systems like this where people spoke freely and older women mentored younger women and people talk to openly about the hidden secrets of womanhood and childbearing. I love that you’re bringing back these conversations for a modern age.. love you both and watch both of your shows every single episode.
This video actually made me cry. I really need to be more mindful and grateful and change my mindset with my kids. I’ve been in such hard stages with no easy stage yet due to medical issues, but I need to change the mindset and be grateful. I appreciate this video so much. Thank you both ❤
you two are some of my favorite people on these platforms ♥ love seeing you together and hearing you share your wisdom! thank you for all that you do and all the magic you share ♥♥♥
Thank you so much Raya and Bec❤ this chat was so beautiful and full of love. Im not a mum yet but hearing you two speaking about motherhood really makes me looking foreward to it one day. Thank you for sharing your journey with us🙏🏽🥰
38 weeks pregnant today and already doing the 'big shower crying' it's all so overwhelming and I am bracing for the rollercoaster of emotions that is around the corner. Thank you for this lovely conversation it really helps to hear your thoughts! What wonderful Mums :)
This was just beautiful! Would be very interested in seeing more chats about motherhood or whatever else you want to talk about. Although I am not a mother or mother to be this was very interesting to watch. To all the parents out there you are all doing an incredible job :)
Oh my gosh, I am literally in tears. The open, deep honesty of your friendship is so beautiful. I wish I could find a mom connection on this level. When Bec starts talking about her breastfeeding journey it cut me so deep. My almost 1 yr old never latched and it crushed me. I ended up pumping for 5 months and I feel like that made me feel even more disconnected. It made me have postpartum depression/anxiety. I am now pregnant with my 2nd child and have a fear of not experiencing this again. I know it isn’t the end of the world, but for women who want to have that journey and they can’t because of their body, their baby, their circumstances, etc it is heart wrenching. It is crazy how being a mom you can have the most incredible moments you could ever experience, but you can be so much harder on yourself then you would be with any other human. It is an amazing journey that I am so grateful for no matter if it is a great day or a joy so great day.
This is honestly one of the best videos I've watched in a long time. My little one is 10 months and this just warmed my heart, validated so much and made me think of my own journey.
I love yall already. Its good to see moms get together. Your language is timeless. Moms go through such similar experiences. Good to see women empowering women.
Loved this conversation… as a new first time mom, this was the conversation and reflection I’ve been craving. Thank you for curating such a vulnerable and valuable space. ❤
What a beautiful video 🤍 Thank you both for sharing 🫶🏻 I am not a mother (yet), but hearing this filled me with the warmest, loving energy, and the whole video felt like one big hug 💫
Really lovely vlog, Bec has been through so much and to be so present and positive about everything is just so inspiring. Love the vibe you both have going on xxx
I Closed My Eyes And Told My Inner Child I Love ❤️ And Support Her! I Became My Own Mother She No Longer Have To Feel Lost And Rejected Because IAM Here IAM Enough We Must Have More Of These Talks. I Don’t Have Any Friends I Wish I Had Friends Who Cared About Me. My Spiritual Journey Taught Me A lot I Know My Friends R Coming Soon ☘️🍯
Such beautiful women sharing deep feelings and showing so much love for each other. You are both such amazing mom's, you give so much love to your babies and feed them with such healthy, nutritious, earthy foods. Love you both xo
Raya this is beautiful. I usually don't comment but I've always wondered about the deep conversations that you talk about having with your friends off camera. I feel like allowing space for these conversations to sometimes be recorded in this way, is a gift to us all! We could all use an example of what it means to have deeper conversations, how to have them, what they look like, how they sound. I think you can offer that to people and it's really nice to see you open up in this way! Congrats on starting your channel up again, excited for you, sending my love.
You both are so beautiful inside and out! I have a 12 year old son and hearing your responses to questions made me tear up every time, just so you know it never changes how you feel about your child and you…you both are awesome great mothers ❤
Being someone who is constantly in fight or flight mode. You two beautiful women have helped me start my journey on self love and meditation. Thank for simply being authentically yourselves. Much love 🤍
This video was amazing! I am not even a mum, yet I found it so healing to watch two powerful women connect so deeply and openly with one another. Thank you Raya and Bec. 💖
This video was so important and helpful to see! I'm a mom of a 3 year old and nothing would've gotten me through some of the hard times like sharing my thoughts with other moms! Y'all are the best
I love you ladies and admire the love that radiates from you both 🤍 how special it is to have sisters like this in our lives that love and support us through and through. It’s such a gift x
As a post partum Mum, I watched this while nursing my 4 month old baby and loved it so much 💛 you both seem like amazing Mums, you’re so blessed to have each other.
Im so goad for youtube ❤ I feel like listening to this has been so theraputing ❤ there is no much open space for moms to just talk and feel enough and worthy ❤
I feel like in the other past life you guys were best friend soulmates because the friendship you show on camera is out of this world . I love the vulnerability and pure joy you share :)
As a new mom to a sixth month old, this conversation was so incredibly cathartic to listen to. Motherhood so far has been the most transformative experiences of my life. It’s hard to even put into words. I love hearing other mothers talk about their journeys because it reminds me how beautiful this shared experience is ❤❤❤
We all couldn’t be more different in lifestyle but I feel so connected with you both.. I have a 4 year old son and my daughter just turned 1 and we want another just not sure when! I have loved watching y’all become mothers and have grown through your journeys! Thank you both so much for taking time and making this video! ❤❤
I agree being Mom is a rewarding experience. I had 4 daughters. Each one unique. The journey is a long journey and has peaks and valleys just like life. Using your intuition is vital, being open to ideas from other moms is essential and I think teaching kids about picking friends who are like minded is important too because while we raise our children they are still influenced by people they come to meet and build their little world as schools and college or even clubs, sports, external activities shape their lives. ❤. Your children have already seen such a big world 🌎 literally and they will be able to learn so much so they can share too. ❤
The shock on Louis face in your pregnancy announcement video is the best! I’ll never forget that! I remember watching you tear up, meanwhile, I was crying on the other side of the screen. You two are the best moms! This was so fun to watch. Love, your friend Suzie in Seattle.💛🌲
Go back start you'll have an awesome binge day. Then you'll end up on the safe path I found myself on 3 yrs ago. Even if you can't travel to where they been you'll be able to still have the same adventures as them.
I loved this so much, what a great idea for a video, looking forward to more! I went to Bec's channel thinking there'd be a video of Bec asking Raya questions about motherhood, and was oh so bummed when there wasn't one!!
Hi there lovely moms! Loved this video! ❤ I found it quite hard to find a community of open honest moms who could share the real ups and downs. Here in the Netherlands we are not very open about feelings.. You have some tips on how to find community? Luckily I meet my neighbor and a few moms from daycare with whom I am able to share openly. It is sooo helpful 🙏🏻♥️
I also really enjoyed listening! Truly a miracle being able to carry life within. Hold tight your days for they do grow up in a blink! Mine are 32 and 30! I’d secretly want just one week with them being little again! Not change a thing, just observe. Then quickly put them right back where they are!🤭
There are so many shades of motherhood. As an adoptive mother, I often understand that feeling of guilt for not being able to breast feed or the feeling of unworthiness
My mother is incredible. I want to say that all mothers are incredible bc I do believe so but after seeing another comment, sadly I do know that some of them aren’t always there for their kids and that love to the dads is absolutely needed to be shouted out to as well. My personal experience, as a 34 year old woman, I would not be who I am without my mother. Not just surface things but deep down to my core. My dad was a jerk, parents divorced at age 15 and he said AWFUL things to me as I was trying to navigate my teen years (the youngest of 4) My mom was crushed, heartbroken that he was being so terrible to me (at 17 years old he left me a vmail calling me a b***h and telling me he was disappointed in the person I became-I was a straight A student who never touched drugs or alcohol and graduated early) as awful as that was, I shook it off bc I knew I was a great person and that was bc my mom always made me feel loved, special, important, strong, and worthy. She’s my best friend and I think that came from the simple basics of just loving your kids for who they are. Showing them unconditional love (which you both are absolutely doing ❤️) and letting them make mistakes and continuing to be there. This is what I truly believe builds the strongest relationship, at least that’s my experience 😊
Am I the only one that doesn’t remember what they felt postpartum?? I remember sleeping, feeding, over and over. It’s all a blur! Also, I love this so much!
Beautiful Mommas!! I could not breastfeed daughter!! It was hard!! With my first a boy I did for 6 months.. it was the 80s .. work and life interfered !! I breast fed her long enough to give her the antibodies and then it was done.. and it was physically painful.. ❤Bec honey and Raja .. I’m 62 live in Maine I have the best most loving son and daughter and now 3 grandsons!! Everything I’ve seen over the years.. ?? Your fantastic beautiful souls.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤mothers .. little angels chose you to be their Moms!! 😢I love 💝 this podcast!! Loving 🥰 you from Maine!!!
I feel like yall (and Eamon and Bec and several other ppl of your current generation) are going to be the first generation of parents who raise children without trauma, with connected relationships, and project positivity into the world. I hope I live to see that world. ❤
Wow what a great comment . I feel the same way.....its so awesome to see this type of child rearing and personal growth with the couples.
We do hope to see that world but it won’t happen that way. Great challenges are coming in the next few years - world war 3, volcanoes, earthquakes, financial crash etc. the only answer is to turn to God.
This generation of parents definitely will not make the same mistakes as their parents. They will make different ones.
@@KayRay1966exactly this.
Very well said.
Bec is the most inspiring woman I know. She keeps going despite all that she's been through. I hope she knows how downright incredible she is 💛
Couldn't agree more! ❤ Love her and all she stands for!
@@brittanycarriere9423 Yes!!! We need a Bec fan club over here lol
@@KristinaKk_xx120 I would join that club. Bec is amazing. ❤
Bec what a beautiful thing to allow such a hard circumstance to transform you instead of crush you. Witnessing your transformation is a blessing. Thank you for sharing.
I love women period!

I think you can offer that to people and it's really nice to see you open up in this way! Congrats on starting your channel up again, excited for you, sending my love.
You both are so beautiful inside and out! I have a 12 year old son and hearing your responses to questions made me tear up every time, just so you know it never changes how you feel about your child and you…you both are awesome great mothers ❤
Being someone who is constantly in fight or flight mode. You two beautiful women have helped me start my journey on self love and meditation. Thank for simply being authentically yourselves. Much love 🤍
Wow your friendship is so beautiful. Love these deep and soft mom chats and can totally relate 🥹❤
This video was amazing! I am not even a mum, yet I found it so healing to watch two powerful women connect so deeply and openly with one another. Thank you Raya and Bec. 💖
This video was so important and helpful to see! I'm a mom of a 3 year old and nothing would've gotten me through some of the hard times like sharing my thoughts with other moms! Y'all are the best
I love you ladies and admire the love that radiates from you both 🤍 how special it is to have sisters like this in our lives that love and support us through and through. It’s such a gift x
This would be a phenomenal series or podcast with you and Bec…
As a post partum Mum, I watched this while nursing my 4 month old baby and loved it so much 💛 you both seem like amazing Mums, you’re so blessed to have each other.
Im so goad for youtube ❤ I feel like listening to this has been so theraputing ❤ there is no much open space for moms to just talk and feel enough and worthy ❤
you are both so wise beyond your years, seriously both of you are old souls, crazy beautiful
Awe!! Y’all make me smile so big. I love my big kids but I miss those littles days. ❤
I feel like in the other past life you guys were best friend soulmates because the friendship you show on camera is out of this world . I love the vulnerability and pure joy you share :)
As a new mom to a sixth month old, this conversation was so incredibly cathartic to listen to. Motherhood so far has been the most transformative experiences of my life. It’s hard to even put into words. I love hearing other mothers talk about their journeys because it reminds me how beautiful this shared experience is ❤❤❤
Beautiful thank you for sharing and being raw❤
OMG Bec i felt the same i couldnt nurse either i pumped but it broke my heart THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU AND YES SHE CHOOSE YOU !!!!
We all couldn’t be more different in lifestyle but I feel so connected with you both.. I have a 4 year old son and my daughter just turned 1 and we want another just not sure when! I have loved watching y’all become mothers and have grown through your journeys! Thank you both so much for taking time and making this video! ❤❤
Great channel supporting moms and women , we all need to support each other in this mad world ❤️🇨🇦👍
I agree being Mom is a rewarding experience. I had 4 daughters. Each one unique. The journey is a long journey and has peaks and valleys just like life. Using your intuition is vital, being open to ideas from other moms is essential and I think teaching kids about picking friends who are like minded is important too because while we raise our children they are still influenced by people they come to meet and build their little world as schools and college or even clubs, sports, external activities shape their lives.
❤. Your children have already seen such a big world 🌎 literally and they will be able to learn so much so they can share too. ❤
what a beautifull idea raya! So inspiring and I am looking forward to more episodes
The shock on Louis face in your pregnancy announcement video is the best! I’ll never forget that! I remember watching you tear up, meanwhile, I was crying on the other side of the screen. You two are the best moms! This was so fun to watch. Love, your friend Suzie in Seattle.💛🌲
Two beautiful, inspiring lafies and mothers. Love your videos with your partners but this was special❤❤❤
Raya you have a gift. I love this segment. The friendship you 2 have is so pure & beautiful. Love you both individually and together!
You two are the best. Thank you xx
love love love love love love love love LOVED THIS!
Love this so much!!!!
Just found you today, from Eamon and Bec's. This is a wonderful vid!
Go back start you'll have an awesome binge day. Then you'll end up on the safe path I found myself on 3 yrs ago. Even if you can't travel to where they been you'll be able to still have the same adventures as them.
I know you.
This was beautiful!
Beautiful heart felt interview thank you both 💞💞
Loved this!!
What parts were touching? All 24 minutes. This was just, awesome. ❤🧡💛💚
I loved this so much, what a great idea for a video, looking forward to more! I went to Bec's channel thinking there'd be a video of Bec asking Raya questions about motherhood, and was oh so bummed when there wasn't one!!
SO MUCH LOVE FOR THE MOST AMAZING SOULS YOU BOTH ARE; SO MUCH LOVE
Two incredible women! ❤
Watching as my baby girl is nursing, and just bawling at the discussion. ❤
❤️❤️
Hi there lovely moms! Loved this video! ❤ I found it quite hard to find a community of open honest moms who could share the real ups and downs. Here in the Netherlands we are not very open about feelings.. You have some tips on how to find community? Luckily I meet my neighbor and a few moms from daycare with whom I am able to share openly. It is sooo helpful 🙏🏻♥️
Oh and this is so random, but I absolutely love Becs hoodie whatttttt it’s so nice!
Thank you Raya and Beck! You are both very wise and strong
Just beautiful ladies. Enjoy your babies they grow so fast! My boys are 34, 32 and 30 in just a blink of an eye!❤❤❤❤❤
I also really enjoyed listening! Truly a miracle being able to carry life within. Hold tight your days for they do grow up in a blink! Mine are 32 and 30! I’d secretly want just one week with them being little again! Not change a thing, just observe. Then quickly put them right back where they are!🤭
I love this whole concept! ❤❤
There are so many shades of motherhood. As an adoptive mother, I often understand that feeling of guilt for not being able to breast feed or the feeling of unworthiness
This is awesome thank you ❤
Loved this!❤❤
Beeeeautiful 💝 thank you!
Love and admire you both so much! Love you Raya and Bec ❤❤❤❤
My mother is incredible. I want to say that all mothers are incredible bc I do believe so but after seeing another comment, sadly I do know that some of them aren’t always there for their kids and that love to the dads is absolutely needed to be shouted out to as well. My personal experience, as a 34 year old woman, I would not be who I am without my mother. Not just surface things but deep down to my core. My dad was a jerk, parents divorced at age 15 and he said AWFUL things to me as I was trying to navigate my teen years (the youngest of 4) My mom was crushed, heartbroken that he was being so terrible to me (at 17 years old he left me a vmail calling me a b***h and telling me he was disappointed in the person I became-I was a straight A student who never touched drugs or alcohol and graduated early) as awful as that was, I shook it off bc I knew I was a great person and that was bc my mom always made me feel loved, special, important, strong, and worthy. She’s my best friend and I think that came from the simple basics of just loving your kids for who they are. Showing them unconditional love (which you both are absolutely doing ❤️) and letting them make mistakes and continuing to be there. This is what I truly believe builds the strongest relationship, at least that’s my experience 😊
Am I the only one that doesn’t remember what they felt postpartum?? I remember sleeping, feeding, over and over. It’s all a blur!
Also, I love this so much!
Beautiful Mommas!! I could not breastfeed daughter!! It was hard!! With my first a boy I did for 6 months.. it was the 80s .. work and life interfered !! I breast fed her long enough to give her the antibodies and then it was done.. and it was physically painful.. ❤Bec honey and Raja .. I’m 62 live in Maine I have the best most loving son and daughter and now 3 grandsons!! Everything I’ve seen over the years.. ?? Your fantastic beautiful souls.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤mothers .. little angels chose you to be their Moms!! 😢I love 💝 this podcast!! Loving 🥰 you from Maine!!!
Beautiful!!!!
Love this, thank you ❤
Raya, you are such a good listener! Very good interview!
