The Well Mothered Podcast

What if your emotions aren’t problems to fix — but invitations to go deeper?In this episode of Well Mothered, Aubrey and Laura explore what it means to feel “swirly” — those blurry, disorienting seasons where you question who you are, what you believe, and whether you’ve somehow backtracked. Together, they unpack the spiral nature of growth, the courage it takes to trust your inner world, and the freedom that comes from letting emotions move through instead of storing them.From somatic embodiment and Chinese medicine to marriage dynamics, motherhood triggers, and reclaiming self-responsibility, this conversation weaves spirituality and nervous system awareness into a grounded, deeply human dialogue.If you’ve ever wondered:Can I trust my emotions?What if my symptoms are communication?What does it look like to stop outsourcing my authority?How do I create inner safety instead of demanding it from others?This episode is your invitation to remember who you are — fully loved, fully human, and already whole.

This week, we wrestle with stories from the Bible—exploring not only what’s written on the page, but what may be missing between the lines. Together, we consider how our beliefs shape the way we see ourselves and others, and we stay open to what might shift when we approach Scripture with curiosity. How do our beliefs shape our identity, relationships, and faith? And what might change if we approached Scripture with deeper curiosity? Join us as we explore what can shift when we remember we are held by a love with no conditions.

In this episode Aubrey recounts the story of finding herself and her daughter walking through the deep waters of a medical diagnosis no one was prepared for. Remembering the heartbreak and depths of lonely helplessness that it ushered them into. But also seeing how being still in the storm provided the opportunity to find inner safety and stability, going from running to rooted.

In this collaborative episode we are joined by Jessie Cae, a mother of four and an absolutely beautiful soul we met through instagram. In her podcast "From Within, She Rises" Jessie uses her voice and embodiment to share boldly the truth that reveals itself as she allows perception to evolve, reminding others that truth is relational. Together we unpack what it means to live in the "field/realm" while still living in the real world: raising kids, navigating partners who don't speak the same spiritual language, healing religious conditioning, reclaiming scripture without fear, and learning how to hold space without trauma-bonding. This one is for the women who are waking up... and still doing school lunches.https://open.spotify.com/show/24Byg5e9HQfvcmMCVrsAPi https://www.instagram.com/iamjessiecae/

Today we take a literal walk in the woods and discuss how meeting God as Father has given us the inner safety we need to be our full feminine selves. We discuss how often in life we are waiting for something or someone outside of us to create safety or satisfaction when those can only be found within. Journey with us as we spiral into a conversation about the strong loving arms of a Father who is always ready to hold us.

In todays episode we are walking into the realm of somatics. We talk about what Soma means and what falls under this umbrella of "somatics". Laura shares her experience with Veronica Rottman's Soma School and how using her voice initiated her into a world of possibilities. Aubrey shares her personal experience with somatics for healing the past but also anchoring safety into the present moment.If todays episode resonates with you and you would like more information, please reach out to us on instagram@wellmotheredpodcastVeronica Rottman@wakingwomb

We share parts of our story that took us to the depths of our church process. We began to open ourselves up more to the spiritual sides of things and how that had repercussions in our every day lives. Seeing how through it all we were held.
