Breaking Generational Cycles in Motherhood
This week on the podcast we’re diving into parenting, and while this episode was a bit unplanned, it is terribly important. After gathering feedback from mothers near and far, it was immediately evident that the topic needs a conversation. It also happens to be something I feel passionately about. Today, we’re talking about breaking generational cycles in motherhood. I’ll be touching on:
- Why awareness puts you ahead of the game
- The difference between being “hyper aware” and “situationally aware” when it comes to generational patterns
- What to watch for as you seek to do things differently
- How our bodies remember our experiences
- The emotions that many women feel in this scenario
- The emotions that many women seek in this scenario
- A common thread among mothers who are struggling with their efforts to break negative patterns
- Why it’s necessary to process and heal from your past
- Suggestions for how to do the work
- Recommended prompts to journal
- Encouragement for mothers on this journey
