  • Gratitude, Guilt & Desire: The Emotional Paradox of Motherhood
    Nov 25 2024

    Send us a text

    In this episode we explore the emotional rollercoaster that is motherhood—where gratitude often collides with guilt, leaving many women feeling isolated and disconnected. We ask a critical question: Can gratitude be a mask for deeper struggles? Are we using gratitude as the rug we sweep our humanity under?

    Becca unpacks how gratitude, when genuinely felt, is a full-body experience that enriches our lives. She challenges the common narrative that gratitude should diminish our desires, proposing instead that it can fuel personal growth and fulfillment. Through the metaphor of food, she illustrates how understanding our "hunger"—both literal and emotional—empowers us to make choices that nourish our well-being.

    This episode explores the tension between guilt and happiness, especially for those raised in environments where positive emotions were stifled. Becca delves into how embracing both our highs and lows creates space for authentic joy and personal growth.

    Key takeaways:

    1. Gratitude isn’t just a mental acknowledgment—it's a full-body experience that can lead to deeper fulfillment.
    2. Guilt vs shame for hunger, desire, and ambition
    3. Self-awareness is crucial for nourishing both our physical and emotional needs without guilt.
    4. It's possible to be deeply satisfied while still hungry for more—both in motherhood and life.

    Tune in to learn how to embrace both satisfaction and hunger, navigating the complexities of motherhood with authenticity and empowerment.

We also discuss the importance of journaling and celebrating past achievements rather than constantly chasing future goals.
