Broken tailbone?? Oh man…does anyone know what happened during her pregnancy to break her tailbone?
Being a mom sure does make you come face to face with your “womanness”. I too was a real hard ass before my kids were born but now I’ll cry at a commercial and am able to reflect on myself so much more honestly!! Ani said it so well!
Here’s a bag made of trash… still smells of trash actually…
.. wow!
Haha
Wonderful. I loved that about the redundancy of “mindful mama.”
I like how everything she hates (pre-mom or most- mom) is interviewing her. Ani totally takes control of this interview; which shows her experience in her own industry.
WoW! What is it that got hurt there?That’s a really powerful question
good interview
well to quote Ani “we never see things changing, we always see them ending”. i guess thats why some are reacting
I love what having a child has done to Ani. I loved her as a bad ass kick ass “I know what’s right” woman, but she’s grown up so much since she had her child.
I know there are people who are disappointed that she’s not as aggressive and abrasive as she used to be, but I think she’s learned that there’s more than on way to get a point across.
Wow, my ex and me had her midwife for my little righteous babe. I can see how you would think Ani would be strong.
Humility! that’s the ‘word’ of what children brings you, Ani! So good to hear that honest & spontaneous statement from a popular woman. Well done to her and to EVERY MUM out there!!! Keep breathing sisters!! =)
ani should’nt smoke a joint before the interview. You’re out there hun. Stick to mindfulness.
and eloquent.
She is so wise.
Very cool, she continues to progress and heal and I just love it. I love her honesty.
Love Ani!
