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.© 2025 Nourishing the Mother

  • NTM 526: Breathe It In - How Presence Creates a Life Worth Remembering
    Jul 28 2025

    Life moves fast…and if you’re not careful, it’ll pass by in a blur. In this deeply heartfelt episode, we share how presence is what makes a moment last, and how the simple act of breathing it in can transform the ordinary into the unforgettable.

    Drawing on a powerful message from a Honey Club member, this episode is a call back to what truly matters; not the roles we play, but the memories we feel.
    This one is for the part of you that craves slowness, sacredness, and the kind of life you’ll actually remember when you’re old and grey.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    * Why life becomes a blur when we’re not present
    * How presence transforms ordinary moments into lasting memories
    * A collective pause to feel it, honour it, and let it imprint
    * How the weight of responsibility can pull us out of living
    * Why you don’t need to do more — just be in it

  • NTM 525: The Guilt Pendulum: When Work and Motherhood Feel Like a Tug-of-War
    Jul 21 2025

    What happens when your heart is at home, but your body’s at work — or when your head’s in the spreadsheet but your child’s in tears at daycare drop-off?

    In this episode, we explore the inner tension so many mothers feel between being present, connected parents and being purposeful, ambitious humans doing meaningful work in the world. It’s not just about time management — it’s about the deep, identity-level stretch of holding two powerful callings that often ask for completely different parts of you.

    We talk about the primal urge to nurture and protect, the heartbreak of early separation, and the guilt that rushes in when your heart isn't in it — wherever “it” is. We also explore the cost of maintaining a work track built on outcomes and mental focus, while simultaneously trying to parent in a way that is attuned, relational, and emotionally available.

    And we name what doesn’t get said enough: that this isn’t just personal; it’s systemic. The modern nuclear family model, the lack of community care, the outdated expectations placed on women to “balance it all” — these all feed the guilt loop. But there is another way.

    This is an invitation to integrate rather than split, to move from guilt into awareness, and to begin gently merging the parts of you that long to belong — at home, and in the world.

  • NTM 524: Pressure, Predictability and the Death of Desire
    Jul 14 2025

    So many couples find themselves tangled in the same painful dance: pressure, predictability, and the slow death of desire.

    In this episode, we’re unpacking why your sex life isn’t just about sex - it’s the meeting place of both your worlds. Why men often feel sex as devotion (and rejection like a dagger), why women need connection to even want sex, and how survival mode and arousal simply can’t coexist.

    We’ll explore how to stop counting acts and start cultivating an erotic climate where your ‘yes’ becomes inevitable - not out of duty, but from deep, authentic desire.
    Because your erotic self is still there. Vibrant. Alive. Waiting for you to make space.

    In this episode we discuss:
    — Why a man telling a woman how she should experience sex is a dangerous slope
    — The kernel of truth that stings (and why it lands)
    — How most men feel sex as devotion, and why rejection cuts so deep
    — Why your sex life isn’t just his or yours, it’s a shared garden you both must tend
    — That sex is anything that makes you feel alive, soft, open, connected - not just penetration
    — How pressure and predictability strangle desire
    — Why survival always wins over arousal, and what to do if you have responsive desire
    — How to stop keeping score and build an erotic climate where your ‘yes’ is inevitable
    — And why choosing your pleasure is radical, dismantling the old martyr mother story once and for all
