In this deeply grounding episode of Write Your Own Story, Betsy Leonis sits down with Erin Morrison—therapist, author, and creator of The Conscious Mom—to explore what it really means to mother from a place of inner clarity, not outer pressure. Together, they unpack the internal tug-of-war so many moms feel: the push to get it right and the pull of emotional overload, perfectionism, and self-doubt.
Erin introduces her transformative book Three Minutes for Mom, a daily invitation to reconnect with your centre in the midst of real-life motherhood—without needing to meditate, journal, or become someone new. Just three minutes a day to feel more like you again.
Expect raw truth, deep resonance, and a quiet revolution in how you show up for yourself and your children.
💬 Topics Covered:
- Why your worth as a mom isn’t measured by your child’s behaviour
- What it actually means to “trust your intuition”
- The quiet power of repair, presence, and micro-moments of clarity
- How to stop outsourcing your value to external validation
- A new lens on “mom guilt” and the myths that keep us stuck
✨ Perfect For:
Mothers navigating overwhelm, self-reclamation, and the desire to raise children without losing themselves in the process.
