Bridget is a full-time working mother navigating the reality of decreased time and increased pressure — which demands a new level of discernment about what can and can’t be held. In this episode, we explore how to protect your energy, bring more equity into your relationship, and create room for your dreams without over-functioning to keep the peace. We talk about holding your partner accountable, building flexible rhythms that support the whole family, and why truth-telling, shared responsibility, and protecting your wellbeing are non-negotiables for long-term love and fulfilment.
In this episode we discuss:
- The inherited belief that “good mothers sacrifice everything” and how desire is actually sacred life force
- Guilt as a compass pointing to your conditioning, not your truth
- Why you don’t need hours of time to move forward, and how micro-actions compound into big results
- Using presence, not perfection, so that what you do carries more impact
- Boundaries that protect your energy; with time, tech, and the mental load
- Support systems and nervous system practices that let your dreams breathe even when life is full
- Moving from “I’ll do it when life is easier” to “I’m doing it in the cracks because it matters now”
- Increasing discernment on what gives you energy versus what drains you
- Holding your partner accountable so you’re not the default parent, and why equity is essential in relationships
- Truth-telling and shared responsibility as foundations for long-term connection
- Protecting what matters most between you and your partner so you feel respected and connected
- Balancing guilt with congruence in the give and take of relationships so complaints don’t hold resonance
- Letting tolerance of what you don’t like exist alongside protecting your dreams and wellbeing
- Knowing this season is about compounding effort, not single moments, and feeling proud of showing up meaningfully
