Surrendering In Motherhood

This week, we change it up a little bit to talk about fatherhood and how much it matters. We recorded this episode on Father's Day, so we just wanted to have a conversation about the role of a father and how much we respect and honor what that means. We hope you enjoy! We'd love to hear from you. You can email us at surrenderinginmotherhood@gmail.com for any comments, questions, or to let us know...

This week, we talk all about how children attach in the first 6 years of life. These years are crucial in laying the foundation for how our children grow into adults. We discuss attaching year by year as studied and written about in the book "Rest Play Grow" by Dr. Deborah MacNamara. We think it's important to understand how our children need us in order to surrender in each season. Email us at su...

This week, we talk all about what it means to surrender in every season of motherhood. We talk about about getting out of survival mode and the gift that perspective brings. Are you drowning in expectations that are unrealistic? Do you have supportive people in your life who can help you get back to home-base no matter what each season brings? We'd love to hear from you! 

This week, we talk all about perfectionism and how it shows up in our motherhood journey -- with ourselves and our kids. We talk about the importance of allowing our kids to witness our mess ups and the repairing process that needs to occur afterwards. We're all human beings. We're all learning. It's important to be aware of this so we're not getting caught up in unrealistic expectations. Tha...

This week, we discuss all about what it means to get back to your intuition and the importance of understanding what that looks like for you and your children. Our intuition is something that is divinely given to us by God to help us in being what our children need from us. We were created to raise the children that we are given and it's a beautiful thing. We'd love to hear your thoughts abou...

This week, we talk about how love, respect, empathy, and healthy boundaries can all coexist. We talk through how to navigate disagreeing with others and that it's okay that not everyone does things the same way. The bottom line is that mutual respect is a must if any kind of relationship or interaction is going to happen in a healthy way. We would love to know your thoughts! Follow us @surren...

This week, we share our thoughts about Mother's Day.

This week, we discuss how our children are not born to please us.

This week, we have a raw, emotional conversation. We talk about lack of compassion, loving our kids vs. our kids feeling loved by us, kids acting how they feel, mothers needing support, the core needs of children, and the infamous "but I turned out okay" survivor bias that is so common. We'd love to hear your thoughts, comments, or questions that come up while listening to us talk about this. Come...

This week, we talk all about the statement "kids are resilient" and the implications that come along with knowing what true resiliency is and is NOT. We recognize that there's a detachment in society --  detachment from how we were created, how motherhood is supposed to be honored, and how we're meant to nurture how our children need us. We also talk about parenting from guilt vs. parent...

This week, we discuss the importance of healthy boundaries for ourselves, our children, and any relationship we are in. Boundaries keep everyone healthy, safe, and able to show up.
