02. What do you want your motherhood to feel like?

We spend so much time preparing for our children. But how much time do we spend thinking about the kind of motherhood we want for ourselves?

In this episode, I turn the attention back to you: why your wellbeing matters, how children learn to regulate their emotions through us, and why supporting mothers is part of supporting children.

I also share three questions to help you think about your own experience of motherhood:

1. What do you want motherhood to feel like?

2. What do you need to make that possible?

3. What is likely to get in the way?

This isn’t about becoming the perfect mum. It’s about understanding what matters to you, letting go of the version of motherhood that doesn’t, and finding your own way forward.
