In this solo episode, I delve into the challenging journey of mothering without a clear blueprint. Many women find themselves in this position, either due to the absence of a maternal role model or their desire to parent differently than their own upbringing. We discuss the importance of inner work before and during motherhood, the struggles of healing while parenting, and finding hope and support in this unique path of mothering.  Some of the key points in this episode include: ·      Doing inner work before becoming a parent & how motherhood can bring new insights and challenges to the healing process.  ·      The Reality of Mothering Without a Clear Blueprint  ·      The burden and challenge of reparenting oneself while parenting a child & the hope amidst the challenge.  ·      The Importance of Taking Breaks from Healing Work  ·      Where to seek support Suggested Reading: The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read  Discovering The Inner Mother Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents  The Power Of Showing Up  Hold Onto Your Kids  The Whole Brain Child    Here is where you can find out more about me (Yara), how to work with me and some resources: @lifeafterbirthpsychology   www.lifeafterbirth.com.au Free Inner Critic Workbook Info & Waitlist for The Rebirth, Group Coaching for Mamas - This is my signature 13 week online group coaching container for mothers which covers family of origin, inner child work, nervous system basics, anger, boundaries and much more.
