Nourishing the Mother

By: Bridget Wood & Julie Tenner
  • Summary

  • Mothering can be an inspired journey to our most glittering, authentic, passionate, creative and connected selves. Through the mirror offered to us by our children, we are taken to every hurt, unmet need, and also every joy and excitement we’ve ever experienced. We want every woman and mother to give themselves and those around them the compassion, love and healing they so readily offer their children, but rarely allow themselves. Journey with us as we discuss the many layers of being a mother today, where we have come from and where we want to go. Learn tools to connect with yourself, offer compassion to those parts we’d rather deny and get back in love with yourself, motherhood and who you are as a feminine woman.

  • NTM 486: What’s one thing that you can change that will change everything?
    Oct 17 2024

    The modern mother lives life feeling pulled in all directions, playing ‘whack a mole’ with problems, and ending up in a heightened buzz of productivity, but never feeling like she really gets where she wants to be.

    In this episode we discuss:

    - Looking at the areas of your life that consistently drain your energy or create tension
    - Noticing where you’re feeling stuck or unfulfilled

    - Reality versus your interaction with it
    - Steps that help you move forwards, not keep spinning in circles
    - Up-regulated overwhelm and down-regulated exhaustion
    - Butting up against relationship attachment styles
    - Making space for the thing you really want
    - Revealing the layers between you and what you want
    - Showing up with baby steps
    - When it’s too hard you stop turning towards it

  • NTM 485: Lowering your parenting bar as a conscious parent
    Oct 7 2024

    “But hang on Bridget and Julie, don’t we want to get better, more conscious, and more attuned with our kids?” We know! This episode might seem counterintuitive, but what we’re leading you into, is instead of a rulebook in your head, we want you to drop into your experience, and parent from there.

    In this episode we discuss:

    - The dynamic of always trying to find ‘more’ spaciousness when you haven’t got anything left
    - Holding pride in being the ‘perfect, conscious parent’
    - Dynamics that balance your psyche to create connection and love
    - Allowing experiences that humble you
    - Setting our kids up for unrealistic relational expectations
    - Your unwillingness is important for their development
    - Holding fantasies about being calm and spacious
    - Learning to track what’s happening in your body
    - Holding being disliked and judged
    - Boundaries and people-pleasing
    - Recognising when you’re seeking to be oaky in your child’s eyes, rather than tuning into their direct experience

  • NTM 484: When your kids won’t ‘join in’ and it hits all your edges
    Sep 30 2024

    In an ideal world, we’d love our kids to be active and enthusiastic participants in social, community and sporting scenarios. However, that’s not always how it rolls, is it? And it can get under your skin! So let’s talk about the edges around our child’s teamwork.

    In this episode we discuss:
    - When you have a set of values and your child chooses the opposite, it’s designed to make you feel frustrated and annoyed - that’s feedback
    - When your child’s behaviour feels like nails down a chalkboard
    - When you have a high value on family and community and it feels like they’re clashing
    - The fullness of feminine feeling colours everything for our children
    - Loving unpredictability instead of control
    - Wishing they would join in so you can have 5 minutes to talk to another adult
    - The whiplash of when your kids love something and then drop it for the new thing
    - The unseen tax on mothers for conscious, gentle parenting
