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

Motherhood cracks open a whole new world — and with it, a thousand unseen fractures in our relationships. In this episode, we sit tenderly and truthfully with the discomfort of disconnection, resentment, and the quiet heartbreak so many couples experience as they build their families. This is the conversation that rarely gets spoken, but so desperately needs to be heard.

In this episode we discuss:
•The hidden grief and resentment of feeling disconnected from your partner in early motherhood
•How chasing the “perfect mother” archetype can consume all your emotional energy — and leave your relationship starving
•The way babies meet your oxytocin needs — and how this can unconsciously push your partner further away
•The growing conflict as children’s needs, demands, and family dynamics evolve
•The chasm created by inequity in the mental load and emotional labour of parenting
•How different parenting styles can ignite deeper wounds and escalate conflict
•The myth of “children are the ultimate gift” — and the struggle it hides underneath
•Why parenting doesn’t trigger your attachment wounds in the same way partnership does — and why relationship becomes the real crucible for growth
•Moving beyond the narrative of being “touched out” to understanding deeper emotional abandonment wounds
•Why daily self-care is essential for sustaining connection and vitality (not a luxury or a reward)
•How prioritising women’s bodies beyond function is crucial for better sex, intimacy, and relationship health
•The cost of invisibilising women’s lived experiences of motherhood — and how we begin to heal

What happens when the parts of you that once felt so whole now feel split between boardrooms and bedtime stories?

In this episode, we walk alongside Bridget’s raw and revealing journey — from leaving corporate to raise her children, to now returning to full-time work… and all the identity unraveling that’s come with it. The ache of being enamoured with your child, while also craving the fulfilment of purposeful work. The disorientation of feeling siloed — one version of yourself at work, another at home — never fully authentic in either space. The grief of realising you’ve outgrown one version of yourself, without yet knowing how to fully step into the next.

Together, we explore what it takes to reconcile the woman, the mother, the leader — and the longing to find a way of living where those identities merge, not compete.

In this episode, we discuss:
– The grief of identity shifts and the whiplash of watching others shift online
– The slow, steady coming into consciousness around inner conflict and desire
– The Care-Career Conundrum by Dr Sophie Brock
– Can you scaffold your children without being fully immersed in them?
– Creating capacity in your life by auditing time, delegating, and setting limits
– How your lack of flexibility can push your partner into responsibility
– Financial visioning for your family’s future
– Quality time vs. quantity time and releasing the guilt of not being “always on”
– Holding grace for when it all falls apart
