In this solo ep, I’m getting all up in my feels as I reflect on four years of Motherhood. With my daughter’s birthday around the corner, I have found myself comparing who I was in year one - running on no sleep, second-guessing every decision, trying to keep a tiny human alive - to who I am now: a Mum who’s way more solid in herself, who’s done the work, and who’s still learning every single day.
I talk about the difference between reacting and responding, what it actually means to be regulated (hint: it’s not about being calm 24/7), and how finding myself again has made me a better parent. We also dive into the grief of your kids growing up, the pride that punches you in the heart, and why duality matters - because yes, you can love your kids and still find parenting fkn hard.
This one’s for the Mums who are in the thick of it, wondering if they’re doing a good job (you are), questioning if it’s okay to want more (it is), and trying to hold it all without losing themselves in the process (because it is possible).
It’s a big, honest reflection - and I hope it reminds you that you’re not alone, you're not doing it wrong, and you don’t have to fit into anyone else’s box. Let’s chat about what it means to grow with our kids and discover ourselves in the process.
Send me a message - I'd love to chat!
