Nourishing the Mother

NTM 519: Present, Not Perfect: The Art of Mindful Mothering (Even on the Hard Days)


Listen Later

What if your presence was enough? In this episode, we unpack the beauty and bravery of showing up; not perfectly, but mindfully, especially on the days that stretch you thin. You’ll hear why your nervous system is your parenting compass, how tiny moments of attunement matter more than constant doing, and why choosing softness is not weakness but a radical act of love. This is for every mother who’s felt touched out, emotionally tapped, or caught in the spiral of doing more to feel like enough. Let this be your exhale...a return to yourself and your child.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Why being present (even when messy or tired) is more powerful than doing it all perfectly
• How to stay connected when you’re touched out, triggered, or stretched too thin
• The tiny, doable moments of connection that shift everything (without needing to overhaul your day)
• What your nervous system is really communicating to your kids - and how to anchor it
• Why your calm isn’t in your words, it’s in your body
• The emotional imprint we carry from our own mothers, and how it shows up in our parenting
• How to let go of the guilt around rest and reclaim it as necessary, not indulgent
• What changes when you stop performing motherhood and start trusting yourself
• How to meet competing priorities without feeling like you’re failing at all of them
• Letting ease be your quiet rebellion, and why that’s the most healing thing you can do for you and your children
