NTM 371: Our top 4 go-to’s when you’re in a collapse

Mothering can be an inspired journey to our most glittering, authentic, passionate, creative and connected selves. Through the mirror offered to us by our children, we are taken to every hurt, unmet need, and also every joy and excitement we’ve ever experienced. We want every woman and mother to give themselves and those around them the compassion, love and healing they so readily offer their children, but rarely allow themselves. Journey with us as we discuss the many layers of being a mother today, where we have come from and where we want to go.  Learn tools to connect with yourself, offer compassion to those parts we’d rather deny and get back in love with yourself, motherhood and who you are as a feminine woman.

NTM 463: Building the capacity to mother the way we WEREN’T mothered - Part 2, Julie’s lens

In deciding the type of mother that we want to be, often that’s informed by our experience with our own mother. The view we have of our mother will shape the view we have of ourselves, and therefore, the fuel we draw on in our own mothering, can be created by what was missing or not met by our own mother.   In this episode we discuss:  - Constantly ‘conscious’ and centering your child is outside the realms of what’s possible for any single human  - The deep shame we feel w...

NTM 462: Building the capacity to mother the way we WEREN’T mothered - Part 1, Bridget’s lens

It’s held up as the pinnacle of perfect mothering in our culture, but is it really? Often, what you’re over functioning on, is related to what is intolerable for you to be.

So let’s go on a self-examining journey into the shadow side of the selfless mother.   In this episode, we discuss:  - Nothing is ever completely selfless or altruistic&nb...
