The Resting in Motherhood Podcast

Living with the Both/And of Motherhood with Psychotherapist Charlotte Irving

Brittni Season 1 Episode 23

Even though Lilah is four years old, there are still days where I grieve my life before motherhood – even though I love her beyond words, even though I love who I am becoming. This is the paradox of the both/and of motherhood and I believe it’s something that I will struggle with even 20 years from now when I have grown child(ren) out in the world. This is something that I wish was talked about more openly in the motherhood space, which is why I’m excited to have my own life coach, Charlotte Irving on the podcast today. She believes in utilizing mindfulness tools as a way to help regulate our nervous systems and navigate our most profound emotions. She has offered me so much support through the hard parts of motherhood, my divorce, and everything in between. Throughout our conversation we talk about the both/and, but also the importance of accountability, feeling all of your feelings, and more. I absolutely loved this conversation and I think you will, too.
