82. A New Season of Experience Motherhood: Presence, Purpose, and the Both/And

from Experience Motherhood · host Elisabeth Emmerich, MA, LPCC, RPT

After taking a much-needed break, I’m back and this episode feels like a homecoming.Over the past season, I intentionally stepped away from the podcast to be deeply present with my kids, navigate some big family transitions, and allow space for growth in my private practice. During that pause, I also spent time reflecting on what I truly want Experience Motherhood to be and how I want this space to support you moving forward. Listen in to hear more about the direction I feel called to take and what that means for the conversations ahead.In this short, reflective episode, I share why it was necessary for me to press pause, what I learned during that season, and how those experiences helped clarify the vision for this podcast. I talk about what you can expect going forward, including weekly episodes that blend honest solo reflections with thoughtful guest conversations you can learn from.I also invite you to gently reflect on the year ahead, not by asking what you want to accomplish, but how you want to feel. I guide you through a few questions to help you consider what you may be ready to release and what values you want to live more boldly into as we step into 2026.If you’ve ever felt torn between being a devoted mom and honoring your own dreams, I want you to know you’re not alone. I’m so excited to explore this both/and space with you - imperfectly, honestly, and together.MENTIONS IN THE EPISODE:Ep. 18 with Kate Strickler: Transforming Your Home, Freezer Hacks, and Self-Care in Motherhood with Kate StricklerThis episode was brought to you by Pivot Ball Change: https://www.pivotballchange.com/I'd love to hear your thoughts!
