  • ... for motherhood and marriage to make you a shadow of your former self? With Sophie Luxton #8

    Today I'm joined today by the fabulous and rebellious Sophie Luxton, to challenge all that we think we need to be to fit the box of 'good' mother.

    Sophie is sharing her story of coming into these roles and using her rebel and inner problem solver to fight her way out of feeling a shadow of her former self.

    We cover...

    - How marriage and motherhood can make you, not break you

    - How society defines these roles as the ultimate success (and how that affects our expectations)

    - Staying true to yourself when the stakes feel higher than they ever have before.
