Today Kate and Deb dive into one of the most common, confusing, and activating situations in motherhood- taking what our kids do, say, and feel personally.

We have all been there over and over. In this episode, Kate and Deb will discuss:

• What is happening for us when we take things personally

• The consequences to ourselves, our kids, and our relationships with our kids when we take things personally

• Practices we can put into place to take LESS of what our kids do personally

• Specific situations in each of their own lives when taking it personally has led to unnecessary distress

• Where to find (very necessary) humor in this extremely common experience

Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee or tea, pour yourself a glass of wine, Put on your sneakers, turn up the volume… wherever you are and whatever you are doing, come and mother with us.

In this mini-episode, Kate talks about how we define “good mothering” and where we all have some work to do. This episode is a small dose of some good old “tough love” as we each look at the very important question “what part am I playing” in the struggles and successes that our kids have. In this little mini-episode, Kate will help you to shift your mindset around “good mothering” so that you have more room to focus on your own needs on behalf of your kids.

Whether you are a brand-new mom or a mother of an older child, it is never too late to pause and pivot. On behalf of your kids.

Defining “Good Mothering” with Kate | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 3 Episode 10

In this important episode, we have a brave and vulnerable conversation with mother, thought leader, entrepreneur, and therapeutic yoga teacher,  Wendy Stern about grief and loss in motherhood. Wendy tells us her story about losing her son, Noah, suddenly when he was 9 months old and she takes us through her powerful and honest journey from loss to love. In this episode, we discuss:

• Miscarriage and infant and child death and how important feelings of grief are in accessing love and connection.
• Cultural norms around loss in motherhood and the opportunities for changing this narrative.
• Parenting other children when there has been a miscarriage, infant, or child death in the family.
• The opportunities for connection through all kinds of grief and loss.
• The important value in a willingness to “feel it all” including both pain and joy.
• Accessible tools, strategies, and support networks for you if you are grieving a loss.

Breaking Barriers in Motherhood with Michelle Hands | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 3 Episode 8

In this episode Kate and Deb courageously talk about their own moms. They describe their personalities; strengths and limitations and explore the gifts of wisdom they have given them through the years. Kate and Deb discuss grief, growth and connection. They explore the power and confidence that comes when we mother with more agency rather than an inherited style of parenting. They are both very blessed to have had healthy (yet human) relationships with their moms and they don’t take that for granted. Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
