Nourishing the Mother

NTM 513: From Full-Time Mothering to Full-Time Work


Listen Later

What happens when the parts of you that once felt so whole now feel split between boardrooms and bedtime stories?

In this episode, we walk alongside Bridget’s raw and revealing journey — from leaving corporate to raise her children, to now returning to full-time work… and all the identity unraveling that’s come with it. The ache of being enamoured with your child, while also craving the fulfilment of purposeful work. The disorientation of feeling siloed — one version of yourself at work, another at home — never fully authentic in either space. The grief of realising you’ve outgrown one version of yourself, without yet knowing how to fully step into the next.

Together, we explore what it takes to reconcile the woman, the mother, the leader — and the longing to find a way of living where those identities merge, not compete.

In this episode, we discuss:
– The grief of identity shifts and the whiplash of watching others shift online
– The slow, steady coming into consciousness around inner conflict and desire
– The Care-Career Conundrum by Dr Sophie Brock
– Can you scaffold your children without being fully immersed in them?
– Creating capacity in your life by auditing time, delegating, and setting limits
– How your lack of flexibility can push your partner into responsibility
– Financial visioning for your family’s future
– Quality time vs. quantity time and releasing the guilt of not being “always on”
– Holding grace for when it all falls apart
