Nourishing the Mother

NTM 458: How to avoid to clinging on, navigate the grief and embrace change as your child grows


Listen Later

How do you as a mother embrace the change as your child grows up, but navigate the grief you feel, with grace?

This podcast gives you three clear tools and processes to avoid getting stuck when you cling on to particular ages and stages of your child’s development.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Shifting your focus on keeping them close
  • A loss of control can feel like a loss of safety
  • The acute awareness of separate
  • Looking back and our tendency to either catastrophise or wear rose-coloured glasses
  • Our children are not committed to us, they’re committed to their own highest values
  • Where there’s loss, there’s gain
  • If you’re stuck in a story, you need to balance it by the opposite
  • We can find ourselves focussing so much on how to ‘become’ the mother and embracing matrescence, that we forget there can be equal pain, suffering and growth in unbecoming that centralised figure
  • The invitation this can be to find more of you
