In this heartfelt conversation, Katy Seppi shares her journey through involuntary childlessness and the profound impact it has had on her life. Her story resonates with countless individuals who, like her, longed for parenthood but faced the harsh reality of fertility issues. 

Katy's initial hope and optimism turned into heartache after a year of trying to conceive without success. She embarked on a difficult path of fertility treatments and doctors' visits. Her journey ultimately led her to a place of closure, accepting that parenthood will not be a part of her life.

Katy highlights the societal challenges that come with involuntary childlessness, which extend beyond the personal grief. Navigating a world that doesn't always recognize the unique journey of being childless can be a challenge in itself.

*We’ll say childless often in this episode and what we always mean is Involuntary childlessness or childlessness not by choice.

Mental load is not a new concept, but it's gaining more attention as people become more aware of the inequities it often creates in relationships and families. This week, Peet and Zach Watson delved into the topic, shedding light on what mental load means and how it affects individuals.

For many women, mental load often involves juggling domestic labor, the physical effort, and emotional labor, which stems from being the primary caregiver and manager of the household. This imbalance can lead to burnout, emotional exhaustion, and feelings of being overwhelmed.

Zach Watson offers valuable insights into distinguishing between load-causing questions and load-relieving questions. Load-causing questions, often posed by partners, require thought, calculation, and consideration of various factors. In contrast, load-relieving questions present options, making it easier for individuals to respond and share the mental load more equitably.

Share this episode with your partner to start the conversion about inequities in your household.

Scientifically proven, our subconscious mind is primarily formed by the age of seven. This subconscious mind governs our thought patterns, beliefs, emotional responses, and triggers. It's like a memory bank filled with the experiences and conditioning of our younger selves. Thus, as adults, we can unwittingly carry the beliefs and limitations from our childhood.

The importance of healing your inner child becomes evident when you realize that you might be a 30-year-old adult still acting out patterns your younger self learned. These patterns can lead to self-sabotage, a fear of change, and a host of other issues that affect your health, relationships, and overall sense of self.

Introducing: healing your inner child. What it means, where to start and what it'll bring you in your future: we're discussing all of it.

Bridgett's journey towards her current mission was a personal one, marked by grief and self-discovery. She emphasizes that healing oneself is essential to becoming the best parent. For mothers, healing can encompass mental, physical, and spiritual aspects. It begins with self-awareness, challenging societal beauty norms, and expanding our view of beauty by curating our social media feeds to include diverse perspectives.

Bridgett's perspective on speaking to our daughters is enlightening. She encourages us to help them fall in love with their uniqueness rather than solely focusing on physical appearance. While acknowledging their physical beauty is important, it should be balanced with praise for their inner qualities, talents, and character.

In a world that bombards us with unrealistic beauty standards, Bridgett's wisdom reminds us that our worth goes far beyond our physical appearance. It's about embracing the beauty within ourselves and teaching the next generation to do the same. By doing so, we can create a world where self-esteem and confidence flourish, unburdened by societal pressures.
