EP: 211 Mother's Day - What's Best For You

Milissa Bradshaw introduces the Embodied Power Podcast and shares a Mother’s Day reflection, especially for blended families and children who move between households. She argues that people often create and perpetuate holiday busyness and “should” obligations, and encourages listeners to question traditions, court-driven holiday schedules, and family expectations in favor of what feels aligned and works best for everyone—particularly the children. Drawing from her own experience trading Mother’s Day and Father’s Day arrangements, she emphasizes that honoring mothers can be everyday practice while still choosing intentional celebrations without pressure. She highlights that change requires courage, boundaries, and difficult conversations, and that others may resist when you stop self-betraying. She invites listeners to slow down, prioritize energy and presence, seek support if desired, and make the day meaningful for themselves regardless of circumstances.00:00 Podcast Welcome00:58 Mothers Day Perspective02:18 Rethinking Holiday Custody04:23 Questioning The Shoulds05:19 Origins Of Mothers Day06:56 Pressure Free Celebrations07:49 The Fuck Yes Filter08:55 Boundaries And Pushback11:35 Walking The Walk12:29 Support And Sovereignty14:26 Share And Closing Blessing15:27 Subscribe And FarewellConnect with Milissa :Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MilissaBradshaw?mibextid=LQQJ4dIG: https://www.instagram.com/milissabradshaw/
