055 - When Mother’s Day Is Complicated: Grief, Disappointment & Gentle Self-Care
Mother’s Day can stir up a wide range of emotions—some beautiful, some heavy. While the world may be celebrating with flowers and brunches, many are quietly navigating grief, unmet expectations, complicated relationships, or simply the ache of longing.
This episode is for you if you’ve ever:
Felt out of place or emotionally tender on Mother’s Day
Lost a mother or long to become one
Experienced strain in your role as a daughter or a mom
Found yourself bracing for the disappointment this day can bring
Wanted permission to opt out or do things differently
We’ll explore:
The layered grief and quiet disappointments that can arise
Why emotional honesty matters more than forced gratitude
Ways to care for your heart with gentleness and intention
How to navigate expectations (from others and yourself)
Simple rituals for protecting your peace on difficult days
Whether Mother’s Day brings up sorrow, pressure, numbness, or simply doesn’t feel like a celebration—this conversation is here to remind you that your experience is valid. You’re not alone, and you’re allowed to show up however you need to.
Let’s hold space for the complexity, tend to our inner landscape, and explore how to meet ourselves with care, especially on the hard days.
