In this heartfelt solo episode, I share an honest reflection on a truth many mothers quietly carry: mothering is a huge part of who I am, but it’s not all of me.

I speak to the tension between loving my child deeply and still craving creativity, purpose, and expression beyond mothering. It’s not about shame or guilt, but the permission to be both: fully devoted and still desiring.

Through my Human Design lens, I explore how  energy is naturally oriented toward serving the collective, how I'm wired to share, teach, and contribute to the wider world — while also deeply honouring mothering as a sacred act of service in itself. I reflect on how mothering shapes the collective, and how being of service beyond the family circle doesn’t diminish mothering, but expands it.

This episode is a love letter to the and — to the women who mother, create, dream, and serve all at once.

You’ll hear reflections on:

Why wanting “something more” beyond mothering isn’t a betrayal but a birthright

How cultural conditioning fuels guilt and shame for mothers who want more

The sacred service of mothering as a contribution to the collective

The distinction between tribal energy (family, belonging, closeness) and collective energy (teaching, sharing, serving the wider whole)

How honouring your energetic nature makes mothering more alive, authentic, and sustainable

Thank you for listening. If this episode resonates, please rate, review, and share—so we can keep normalizing the real, raw, and messy beauty of mothering together.
