Episode 3: The Surrender of Motherhood — A Conversation with Jade

In this heartfelt episode of Echoes of Home, hosts Kelly and Erin are joined by their dear friend Jade to explore the often unspoken emotional landscape of motherhood. Together, they reflect on the delicate dance between control and surrender, structure and spaciousness, protection and autonomy.

Through candid conversation, they examine how childhood narratives shape our parenting, and how reprogramming those patterns requires vulnerability, presence, and compassionate self-inquiry. Erin shares her journey of learning to release the illusion of control, embracing emotional regulation as a pathway to connection, and prioritizing self-care in the midst of her child’s big emotional waves.

The trio speaks openly about the tension between societal expectations and the intuitive rhythms of motherhood, and how parenting can become a spiritual practice—one that teaches detachment, accountability, and the sacred art of showing up with softness.

This episode is an offering for anyone navigating the layered journey of motherhood, selfhood, and soul.
