The Grief of Parenting Yourself

This one is for the women who grew up too soon.The women who became their own parents without even realising it.The women who finally slow down in adulthood and feel the grief they never had time to feel.In this episode, we talk about what happens when your life gets softer, the money stabilises, and suddenly the truth hits you:I’ve been parenting myself my entire life.We talk about the loneliness of self-parenting, the resentment that rises from family when you stop performing, the grief of letting go of the fantasy of “mother,” and the emotional floodgates that open when you’re no longer in survival mode.If you’ve ever felt unsupported, unseen, or quietly exhausted from carrying the weight of your own life… this message is a mirror and a hand to hold.You’re not crazy.You’re not ungrateful.You’re grieving.And you’re finally free enough to feel it.
