1: Motherhood as Initiation | The Beginning of My Soul Path

from The Gracefully Wild Soul Podcast with Kirsten Stockton · host Kirsten Stockton

In this first episode, I take you back to 2017. The year I became a mother and unknowingly also began my inner healing journey and intuitive awakening.At the time, I was a practicing attorney, living the corporate life. I knew how to perform, achieve, and meet the expectations of others because I had acquired a ‘good girl’ identity to feel loved and seen as a child. In ways I did not expect, motherhood disrupted my subconscious beliefs around this identity, my self-worth and receiving unconditional love.I share what it was like to grow up in a family rooted in logic and law, to build a career in that same world, and then to feel everything unravel after becoming a mother. I speak honestly about postpartum anxiety, perfectionism, and the deep fear that I was failing at something that mattered most to me - motherhood.This episode is about the moment that my high achieving good girl identity stopped working. It is about the early cracks in control and my perfectionist view of life. It is about the quiet beginning of returning to my intuition and my most authentic self. We also touch on my first meditation experience that started the deepening of my intuition and shifting how I viewed life.This is part one of my story.☽ I TALK ABOUT:The pressure high-achieving women feel after having children.Postpartum anxiety that goes unnoticed.The fear of failing as a mother.Career identity conflict after becoming a mom.Emotional intelligence in parenting.The beginning of a spiritual awakening through motherhood and meditation.Disruption of subconscious beliefs and patterns developed in childhood.〰️ ABOUT ME, KIRSTEN STOCKTONI'm a mother, intuitive, and soul guide who supports women navigating identity shifts, emotional healing, and feminine awakening. My work centers on intuition, emotional intelligence, sacred feminine energy, and living in alignment with your truth.☽ CONNECT WITH MEIG | @the_soulbabeWB | soulbabe.comJoin my SubstackFREE 2026 Collective Year AheadFREE Mothering By Moon Sign☽ Share this episode with a soul sister on her wild path, tag #GracefullyWildSoul or #thesoulbabe and subscribe to the newsletter to join our tribe ☽〰️〰️〰️Produced by AOLI.fm.
