Mother's Day: Strategies to Navigate with Agency and Self-Compassion


Listen Later

Today we explore how to approach Mother's Day, which is this coming weekend. We discuss how our expectations can set us up for additional suffering, and how to handle triggers in the best way possible. 

We invite you to connect with your feminine divine energy and to acknowledge the women in your life who have mothered you, even if you do not share a biological connection. Similarly, we invite you to consider the many ways you may already connect with this energy, nurturing and supporting the people (and sometimes pets) in your life. 

We explore how a coaching lens can take us from feeling complex and negative feelings about this day, to being more in alignment with how we want to feel about this day.  Having awareness of our thoughts and feelings is the first step in deciding whether these thoughts and feelings serve us, and whether we want to make even small shifts to make us feel more calm and grounded.  

Most importantly, we discuss creating space for self compassion and grace during this time, and also leaning on the wisdom of the Serenity Prayer to get us through. 

As always, please keep in mind that this is my perspective and nothing in this podcast is medical advice.

Please don’t let infertility have the final word. We are here to take the burden from you so that you can achieve your goal of building your family with confidence and compassion. I’m rooting for you always.

In Gratitude,

Dr. Erica Bove
