72 A Gift of Stillness in the Middle of Motherhood

Do the holidays bring up more than just joy for you? If you’re carrying joy and grief, gratitude and exhaustion this week—you’re not broken. You’re a mom. And you’re allowed to feel all of it.

This Christmas episode is a poetic pause for your soul.

I’m sharing two poems from From One Mom to a Mother by Jessica Urlichs—words that gently hold space for the mess, the missing, and the becoming. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered who you are now… this one’s for you.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL:

• Feel seen in your motherhood identity crisis—especially this time of year
• Learn why you don’t need to “tie it all up with a bow” emotionally
• Be reminded that you are not lost—you’re becoming
