In this powerful episode with Lacey Eshelman, we dive deep into the often overlooked and misunderstood realm of self-care for mothers.

Meg & Lacey reflect on the importance of having open conversations about this topic, shedding light on the disparity between the public portrayal of maternal self-care and its true, complex nature.

Key Points:

  1. The Deceptive Facade: Explore the misleading image of self-care as portrayed in the public eye and dissect the unrealistic expectations it sets for mothers.
  2. Weaponizing Self-Care: Examine how societal structures and systems have weaponized the concept of self-care, turning it into a consumerist and capitalist tool rather than a genuine investment in oneself.
  3. Initiation of Motherhood: Uncover the profound transformation that occurs with the initiation into motherhood, challenging traditional narratives and questioning the ancestral trauma that mothers often carry.
  4. Breaking the Cycle: Address the internal struggle to break free from societal conditioning and ancestral trauma, emphasizing the need to prioritize personal well-being over societal expectations.
  5. The Myth of Replenishment: Challenge the misconception that a simple act like a bubble bath can magically replenish a mother's energy, highlighting the ongoing work required to achieve true self-sustainability.
  6. The Price of Complacency: Expose the danger of complacency in the societal narrative surrounding motherhood, urging mothers to resist the pressure to give without receiving in return.

Join us for a raw and authentic conversation that transcends the superficial notions of self-care, delving into the profound journey of motherhood and the reclaiming of one's identity amid societal expectations. It's time to peel back the layers and embrace the transformative power of true self-care.
