About this listen

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.© 2025 Nourishing the Mother

  • NTM 518: Walking through grief with our kids and ourselves
    May 26 2025

    In this tender and deeply personal episode, we share the story of saying goodbye to Julie’s beloved family dog, Ruby, after nearly 16 years. This isn’t just a conversation about losing a pet — it’s a raw and honest look at the wildness of grief, the silence it leaves behind, and what it means to walk through that pain as a parent, while still holding space for your children.

    We explore the complexity of grieving while still showing up for life, and how loss doesn’t arrive in isolation - it often opens the door to every other goodbye we’ve ever tucked away.

    This episode is for anyone navigating the quiet heartbreaks, the unexpected waves, and the tender task of parenting through it all.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    • What it’s like to lose a pet who’s been with you through every chapter
    • The layered experience of grief - and why it’s never just about this one loss
    • How to let yourself feel the pain and still show up for your kids’ needs
    • Supporting children through grief in honest, age-appropriate, heart-centred ways
    • How grief cracks you open - and why that’s not something to fear
    • The sacredness of rituals, memory, and letting yourself be witnessed in sorrow
    • Why grief isn’t punishment - it’s proof that love mattered

  • NTM 517: What it really means to come home to your feminine, and why you should
    May 19 2025

    You’ve been strong.
    Capable.
    Getting it done.
    But somewhere between the doing and the holding-it-all-together… you lost touch with you.
    You’re tired of performing.
    You miss feeling.
    You crave softness — but you don’t know how to stop bracing.
    Maybe you’ve heard about “the feminine” and thought, what even is that?
    Is it sexy? Soft? Passive? Woo-woo?

    Here’s what we want you to know:
    Coming home to your feminine has nothing to do with how you look — and everything to do with how deeply you feel.
    It’s not about losing your power. It’s about finding a version of it that doesn’t cost you your body, your joy, or your peace.
    This episode is for the woman who’s curious… and ready to come home to herself.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • What “the feminine” actually is — in your body, your energy, and your everyday life
    • Why mindset work will only take you so far — and what your body’s been trying to tell you all along
    • How surrender isn’t weakness — but a wildly powerful (and scary) practice for the woman who’s always in control
    • Why living cyclically matters — and what shifts when you stop overriding your needs to keep up
    • The difference between performing and inhabiting your life — and how to reconnect with what feels like you again

  • NTM 516: Motherhood’s Secret Sauce? Other Mums
    May 13 2025

    Sure, motherhood is full of love - but let’s be honest, it’s also full of mess, doubt, and moments you didn’t see coming. One of the things that makes it all feel more manageable (and even joyful)? The other mums who show up beside you. The ones who nod without judgment, drop off dinner without asking, or hold space when you’re coming undone.

    But these friendships aren’t just about venting or sharing the chaos—they can also be portals for growth. In this episode, we talk about the magic of mother-to-mother connection and how to gather, build, and sustain these relationships in a way that actually nourishes you. Because you can’t maintain what you don’t show up for—and in the right company, you don’t just feel seen, you feel expanded.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Why mum friendships are emotional oxygen—and how they help us feel more human and more whole.
    • How to grow into sitting with other women—not just swapping stories, but holding space and deepening trust.
    • Finding your “coven”—the women who help you stretch beyond your current reality and remind you what’s possible.
    • How to gently build a village—especially if you’re starting from scratch or in a new season.
    • Ways to nurture and sustain meaningful mum friendships, even in the busyness of life.
    • What to do when friendship shifts hurt—and how to stay open to new connections.
    • Where to look for aligned connection (beyond awkward playdates and school gates).
