How Motherhood Empowers You

Your world has grown and so have you. And that doesn't have to be a bad thing! I know, motherhood is hard. In this episode, you will learn how motherhood empowers you, despite all of the challenges that it presents. Because for all that you grieve and sacrifice in motherhood, you will gain so much more than you could ever lose. You may lose yourself in motherhood, but you also find yourself - a version of yourself that is strong, resilient and nurturing. It’s worth every missed happy hour, every stressful trip out of the house, and every hour of lost sleep.And being your child’s world? That is a bond like no other. It’s the deepest love you could possibly feel. Sure, it may bring you to your knees some days but it will expand your capacity to love. You are someone’s comfort. Their survival. You are their home. And you’ll soon find they’ve made a home in your heart that can never be undone.Topics covered in this episode:How motherhood changes youMeeting yourself in motherhoodRelearning who you are in motherhoodWays to care for your mental health in motherhoodWhat motherhood teaches youWhy motherhood is importantHaving your own hobby as a mother Overcoming mom guilt and how to take a break as a motherBeing comfortable saying no and setting boundariesWhy mom friends are so importantWhy you shouldn't compare yourself to other mothersThe "perfect mom" doesn't existPerfectionism in motherhoodBeing a good enough motherEmbracing motherhoodEnding generational traumaGenerational healingIntentional parentingEnjoying motherhoodEmpowered motherhoodEpisodes mentioned:How Motherhood Changes YouFollowing Your DreamsThe Postpartum PeriodPregnancy, Labor, and DeliveryIntergenerational TraumaChallenges and Struggles in MotherhoodYou can find today's show notes on Root and Rise Blog or by clicking here.Get Social!Follow Root and Rise Podcast on Instagram and Facebook.You can find me (Breanne) on Instagram as well!Special credit to Purple Planet Music for the background track, https://www.purple-planet.comI'd be so honored to have you join me each week in a live group call on the Peanut App. If the thought of having to talk to a group makes you want to bury your head in the dirt, don’t worry!
