The Empower Create Encourage PodcastAuthor: Alessandra Charlesworth
My dream with my podcast is to create an authentically connected community where we empower and encourage each other to create the versions of ourselves we desire and to be supported in our own healing process, personal progress, and fulfillment.My intention with this podcast is to be able to empower individuals with tools and strategies to improve the quality of their daily experiences and encourage individuals to create the life, the love, the reality, and world they desire. I believe cognitive consonance is the key to internal peace and happiness. My invitation for you, as a listener, is to act in harmony with what you believe in, and experiment with the prompts that resonate with you.

Motherhood: The Joy, The Dark & The Ugly ft. Kiko Pawlenchuk
Episode 1
Wednesday, 7 May, 2025
In this raw and powerful episode of Empower Create Encourage, I’m joined by the bold and brilliant Kiko Pawlenchuk as we dive headfirst into the full spectrum of motherhood—the joy, the dark, and the downright ugly. From societal misconceptions to silent shame, we unpack the unspoken realities mothers face every day.We talk about what it means to embrace honest vulnerability—sharing the hard truths of needing space, feeling low, and telling our kids, “Mama needs a minute.” We explore how this openness doesn't make us weak; it teaches our children resilience, empathy, and emotional awareness.This episode also shines a light on how our deepest triggers often stem from our own unhealed inner child wounds. Those moments of emotional activation? They’re not failures—they’re invitations to heal, grow, and evolve.Whether you're a mom, thinking of becoming one, or just want to better understand the fierce, sacred, and sometimes chaotic journey of motherhood, this episode will meet you where you are—with truth, laughter, and lots of heart.AHAHAHA Disclaimer:This episode is not actually sponsored by Anusol, the Calgary Public Library, or Depends… but if you’re a new mom, we highly recommend all three.
