When we first began parenting, there was limited social media and no algorithm flooding us with answers — only books, workshops, blogs, and the occasional playgroup. In many ways, we were completely fringe — walking a path that asked us to discover ourselves through motherhood, not lose ourselves to it.
In this episode, we honour the beauty of seeing your child as an extension of yourself — the profound joy and deep nourishment that brings — and we also hold the truth that it’s easy to get lost. That tending to your child’s needs can so easily eclipse your own. We’re offering three essential “bumper bars” — like rails on a bowling lane — to help you navigate the dance between mothering your children and mothering yourself.
In this episode we discuss:
•Why loving your child as an extension of you can be beautiful — and why it’s not the whole story
•The hidden cost of always putting your child’s needs above your own
•Bumper Bar #1: Don’t ignore your creative impulses — why your creative fire is life-giving and how to honour it, even when it feels inconvenient
•Bumper Bar #2: Your child is not an extension of you — how over-identification leads to burnout, control battles, and loss of self
•Learning to let go of constant “better-best” parenting and allowing your child’s autonomy to flourish
•Noticing where your child’s choices reflect them — not your success or failure
•Bumper Bar #3: Tending to your identity as a woman — why caring for your body, heart, sexuality, and self-expression is non-negotiable for a whole and fulfilled life
•How neglecting the woman within leads to feeling unseen, undesirable, and disconnected — and how to gently find your way back
