EP016: Leela Bunce on the relief of accepting the chaos and dropping expectations
Today I’m thrilled to introduce you to a woman whose deepest expression of her truth is a little unusual. Leela Bunce is a professional clown, a laughter yoga teacher, and actress and a burlesque performer. She’s an exquisitely beautiful, wildly talented and very funny woman whose journey into motherhood hasn’t been all rainbows and giggles.
In this week’s episode we talk about how performing gives her a space to fully express herself and to find freedom, the importance of laughter in shifting our mood and reality, and what an absolute relief it can be to drop expectations and pretense and simply admit that things aren’t always rosy and easy.
Leela lives in the countryside so there are some time lapses during our talk (similar to old-school international calls) so stick with us… the raw goodness of this conversation is totally worth it. We even get some impromptu laughter yoga coaching, so find a space to park your car and have at it. You’ll be so happy you did.

We need to have more brave, honest conversations about the challenges, surprises, frustrations, pains and celebrations of life as women and as mothers. We need to talk about it all without shame, blame or guilt. So we all know we’re normal. That our struggles aren’t ours alone. That we’re seen and held. That’s why I created MamaFuel: The Podcast — to make sure there’s no mama left behind.
If you love listening to MamaFuel: The Podcast, THANK YOU, BEAUTIFUL!! It makes me so happy to know that the conversations I share are reaching your precious ears.
I’d be thrilled if you’d leave me a review, so the podcast can raise even more mamas around the world. Don’t know how to do it? No worries.
