Episode Description

In this episode, I (Sarah Harmon) explore the essential needs of mothers, drawing parallels between nurturing a garden and caring for ourselves. As I reflect on my recent recovery from COVID, I emphasize the importance of understanding our foundational needs, including support, community, and self-awareness. I discuss how our nervous systems and early programming shape our experiences and highlight the significance of cultivating a supportive environment for personal growth. Listeners are invited to consider what they truly need to thrive as mothers and individuals.
