Building a Blessing: A Song About Motherhood

Before becoming a therapist, I was a singer-songwriter for several decades. Music was how I expressed myself honestly as a teenager, almost like diary entries set to song. Recently, I unearthed some never-before-released songs and put together an album with my collaborator Frank Sorci, (my daughter's father).On this episode, I'm sharing a song called "Building a Blessing" that I wrote during my pregnancy with my daughter. It reflects the optimism and hope I felt as a mom-to-be—that I could change the intergenerational trauma I'd inherited by being a mother to this new human being.My greatest wish in life has been to discover what it is to be a good mom - because I missed that so much growing up. This song is a blessing for my daughter, and for my own matrescence.My album Sticks & Stones by Red Letter is available wherever you stream music.My book When Good Moms Feel Bad is available everywhere you buy books.For more information and to join the community go to momparts.com
