Episode 20: Seeds for your garden

Mothering Without A Blueprint

In this solo episode, I delve into the challenging journey of mothering without a clear blueprint. Many women find themselves in this position, either due to the absence of a maternal role model or their desire to parent differently than their own upbringing. We discuss the importance of inner work before and during motherhood, the struggles of healing while parenting, and finding hope and support in this unique path of mothering.

 Some of the key points in this episode include:

·      Doing inner work before becoming a parent & how motherhood can bring new insights and challenges to the healing process.

 ·      The Reality of Mothering Without a Clear Blueprint

 ·      The burden and challenge of reparenting oneself while parenting a child & the hope amidst the challenge.

 ·      The Importance of Taking Breaks from Healing Work

 ·      Where to seek support
