Nourishing the Mother

De: Bridget Wood & Julie Tenner
  • Resumen

  • 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 514: When Motherhood Strains Your Marriage - What Nobody Talks About
    Apr 28 2025

    Motherhood cracks open a whole new world — and with it, a thousand unseen fractures in our relationships. In this episode, we sit tenderly and truthfully with the discomfort of disconnection, resentment, and the quiet heartbreak so many couples experience as they build their families. This is the conversation that rarely gets spoken, but so desperately needs to be heard.

    In this episode we discuss:
    •The hidden grief and resentment of feeling disconnected from your partner in early motherhood
    •How chasing the “perfect mother” archetype can consume all your emotional energy — and leave your relationship starving
    •The way babies meet your oxytocin needs — and how this can unconsciously push your partner further away
    •The growing conflict as children’s needs, demands, and family dynamics evolve
    •The chasm created by inequity in the mental load and emotional labour of parenting
    •How different parenting styles can ignite deeper wounds and escalate conflict
    •The myth of “children are the ultimate gift” — and the struggle it hides underneath
    •Why parenting doesn’t trigger your attachment wounds in the same way partnership does — and why relationship becomes the real crucible for growth
    •Moving beyond the narrative of being “touched out” to understanding deeper emotional abandonment wounds
    •Why daily self-care is essential for sustaining connection and vitality (not a luxury or a reward)
    •How prioritising women’s bodies beyond function is crucial for better sex, intimacy, and relationship health
    •The cost of invisibilising women’s lived experiences of motherhood — and how we begin to heal

  • NTM 513: From Full-Time Mothering to Full-Time Work
    Apr 21 2025

    What happens when the parts of you that once felt so whole now feel split between boardrooms and bedtime stories?

    In this episode, we walk alongside Bridget’s raw and revealing journey — from leaving corporate to raise her children, to now returning to full-time work… and all the identity unraveling that’s come with it. The ache of being enamoured with your child, while also craving the fulfilment of purposeful work. The disorientation of feeling siloed — one version of yourself at work, another at home — never fully authentic in either space. The grief of realising you’ve outgrown one version of yourself, without yet knowing how to fully step into the next.

    Together, we explore what it takes to reconcile the woman, the mother, the leader — and the longing to find a way of living where those identities merge, not compete.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    – The grief of identity shifts and the whiplash of watching others shift online
    – The slow, steady coming into consciousness around inner conflict and desire
    – The Care-Career Conundrum by Dr Sophie Brock
    – Can you scaffold your children without being fully immersed in them?
    – Creating capacity in your life by auditing time, delegating, and setting limits
    – How your lack of flexibility can push your partner into responsibility
    – Financial visioning for your family’s future
    – Quality time vs. quantity time and releasing the guilt of not being “always on”
    – Holding grace for when it all falls apart

  • NTM 512: The Growth You’re Stopping: Are You Your Own Roadblock?
    Apr 14 2025

    This one’s a little edgy. You might feel the sting at first. Maybe even a full-body ‘nope!’. But if you’re growth-oriented, it’ll plant a seed you can’t ignore.

    Because what if you are the biggest thing standing in the way of the life you say you want?

    We explore the uncomfortable signs that you’re outgrowing who you’ve been — like the rising gnarkiness at the things you used to love, the quiet burnout from living a life that no longer fits, and the mind-looping that keeps you from acting on your instincts.

    This is an episode about identity, exhaustion, authenticity, and the bravery it takes to move forward when everyone around you would prefer you stay the same.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    – The signs you’re outgrowing your current identity
    – The gnawing annoyance at what once lit you up
    – Why ignoring your needs might be a holdover from childhood conditioning
    – How staying “heady” can keep you from your truth
    – The link between inauthenticity and depletion
    – The emotional fallout of watching someone you admire change — and what it triggers in you
    – Why being authentic might mean disappointing others — and why it’s worth it
    – How getting clear on your future vision is the antidote to Groundhog Day living

    If you’re tired of your own stories and ready to reclaim your energy, this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.
