How does motherhood transform us into more self-aware and profound versions of ourselves? We are thrilled to host Bridget Wood, co-host of Nourishing the Mother, as she shares her insight into the emotional evolution that comes with being a mother. Bridget's personal stories reveal how the journey prompted her to reassess her identity and embrace self-care as essential to parenting. We unpack how the pressures of conscious parenting, coupled with the influence of social media, often lead to feelings of shame and guilt, urging all mothers to accept their imperfections as a natural part of the process. 

Emotions like anger and anxiety are more than just challenges; they are clues leading to deeper understanding. Together with Bridget, we examine the complex emotional landscape mothers navigate, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging these feelings. By sharing anecdotes from her own life, Bridget illustrates how facing these emotions brought long-buried aspects of herself to light, ultimately forging a stronger self-connection. Listen as we encourage mothers to cultivate internal awareness, fostering emotional clarity and nurturing a healthier relationship with themselves and their children. This episode is a heartfelt guide to embracing the beautiful messiness of motherhood.
