44. The Radical MOM Pause Toolkit Ep 2.: Meet YourSELVES to Meet the Moment

In this foundational episode, we explore the transformative practice at the heart of conscious mothering: the Radical Mom Pause. Learn why simply bringing awareness to the present moment is a radical act in our unconscious world, and discover the MOM framework for meeting yourself with curiosity, observing what's present, and mothering your needs in real time.Key PointsThe radical nature of consciousness in an unconscious world - why pausing and bringing awareness is inherently transformativeUnderstanding the MOM framework: Meeting yourself in the moment, Observing what's present, and Mothering your needsHow movement serves as a bridge from unconscious to conscious awarenessThe practice of meeting your full experience - both internal and external - with curiosity rather than judgmentObserving with acceptance, kindness, and discernment while watching for unhelpful patterns and storiesRecognizing different "selves" or parts (like anxiety) and learning to meet them with compassionHow the act of witnessing yourself IS mothering - fulfilling the human need to be seen and acceptedTuning into basic needs that aren't really basic for mothers: hunger, thirst, rest, movement, bathroom breaksLearning the unique language of your body through practice and curiosityHow this practice creates lineage healing and cycle-breaking in real timeQuotes"Simply being here is in and of itself radical. You are becoming conscious in a world and a existence that is on the whole very unconscious and subconscious.""So many of us are living on autopilot. We are being very mindless moving through our days and our lives, and our mothering and our relationships.""Movement is a wonderful bridge from our unconscious to the conscious.""Just like our kids, our bodies, our humanness is desperate for attention. Not just desperate for attention, it's desperate for kind and curious presence.""We cannot change what we are not aware of and to become aware of something we have to pause and notice and practice mothering ourselves.""This is lineage cycle breaking and creating in real time."Resources MentionedThe Radical MOM Pause guided practice: https://theschoolofmom.com/pauseUpcoming class in The Radical Mom Pause Toolkit series focusing on nervous system tools: https://theschoolofmom.com/pauseThe School of MOM Quiz: www.theschoolofmom.com/quiz Marc Brackett's Mood Meter: https://marcbrackett.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mood_Meter_Marc_Brackett_Permission-to-Feel.pdfWhat's Coming NextThe next episode in this Radical Mom Pause toolkit series will explore tools for meeting yourself in the moment and tending to your nervous system, building on this foundational practice of conscious awareness and self-mothering.Thank you for tuning in to this episode of "Mothering Ourselves Mindfully."
