0In this first solo episode, I'm talking about why we need a completely different approach to motherhood. Most of us prepare for pregnancy and birth with apps and baby gear lists, but no one's teaching us the most fundamental thing: how to actually become the mother we want to be.
I share my own experience of going into motherhood, how I realised there was this massive gap in what we're taught, and why I refuse to accept that mothering from depletion or sacrifice is just the way it has to be.
This episode is about seeing motherhood as an opportunity for deep personal growth and leadership. It's about breaking free from the patterns we inherited, learning to hold ambiguity, and building the kind of relationships with our children where they actually want us around when they're adults.
If you're preparing for motherhood or already in it and feeling like there has to be a better way, this conversation is for you.
If this episode moved you, begin here. The Mother They Remember is a guided reflection for women who are ready to meet the mother they are becoming, not just survive the one they've been handed.
