Part 1 of our 5-part miniseries on developing your inner Maternal Compass
What if the answer to confidence in motherhood isn't another expert opinion, another app or product, but something you already have inside you? This week, therapist Caitlin Ruby Miller introduces the concept of our Maternal Compass – a way to organize the chaos of competing thoughts, and even learn from our unpleasant intrusive thoughts. By developing identity, autonomy, and confidence, we're able to discern into being the kind of mothers we want to be—not the one others say we should be.
Main Topics & Discussion
Why Your Inner Wisdom is MIA: Modern motherhood has created a peculiar problem: we've swung from honoring instinct and ancestral wisdom to Googling every decision and receiving too many opinions and judgements from social media for us to effectively sift through. This noise leaves most moms feeling too overloaded to connect to their own wisdom, and this miniseries offers tools to tap into it.
From Spiral to Action (And Why the Stakes Aren't What You Think): What if instead of fighting your intrusive thoughts, you actually listened to them? We explore how overthinking becomes a breeding ground for maternal anxiety and why taking action – even imperfect action – beats endless mental loops. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Caitlin gives us tools to help sift through anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and external opinions to identify the quieter, grounded inner wisdom that guides decisions with strength, calm and clarity. Your internal voices deserve to be heard – but not necessarily obeyed. After all, who's really running the show?
