88. What I’m Letting Go of in This Season of Motherhood
from Experience Motherhood · host Elisabeth Emmerich, MA, LPCC, RPT
Lately, I’ve been noticing that the most meaningful shifts in my life haven’t come from adding more, but from gently letting things go. In this episode, I share some of the pressures, expectations, and beliefs I’m loosening my grip on in this season of motherhood and invite you to reflect on what you might be carrying that no longer needs to be yours.In this episode, I talk about:Letting go of the idea that there’s a “right” way to do motherhoodReleasing constant self-monitoring and second-guessing yourselfStepping back from being the emotional manager for everyone in your familyWhy the “perfect mom” fantasy disconnects us from ourselves and our kidsUntangling your worth from productivity and being neededLetting go of the “I’ll get back to myself later” lieIf you’re feeling weighed down by invisible expectations, exhausted by carrying everyone else’s emotions, or longing for a version of motherhood that doesn’t require you to disappear, this episode is for you.I'd love to hear your thoughts!
