MOMENT | THIS will help you when you feel like you are drowning in parenthood, with Jess Our Mama Village

Bu bölüm hakkında

Motherkind Moment is your place for calm, connection, and a shift in perspective before the week ahead.  This week’s Moment is with Jess Vanderwier, Registered Psychotherapist, Mum of two and founder of Our Mama Village. In this clip, we explore the importance of giving ourselves permission to slow down when it comes to healing and re-parenting work. So often, parents feel pressure to “do it all” at once, reflecting on childhood wounds, repairing with our kids, and practising self-regulation—while also juggling the daily demands of parenthood. Using the powerful metaphor of “life jacket approaches,” we talk about how, in seasons of survival (like the early days with little ones), sometimes what we really need is simply to stay afloat. Only once we’re floating, no longer consumed by the waves, do we have the capacity to dive deeper into the bigger healing and re-parenting work.  This conversation is a gentle reminder: you don’t have to do everything at once. It’s okay to just keep yourself afloat until you’re ready for more. To listen to the full episode with Jess, listen here.
