Experience Motherhood
Feeling alone in motherhood? Not sure of who you are anymore? Motherhood is a profoundly personal experience for every woman. Come along with me, a licensed therapist, as we delve into both the unique and shared aspects of this remarkable journey known as motherhood.
You'll hear personal stories, encounters and knowledge as a therapist and mom. I'll be interviewing guests and moms (just like you) who have inspirational and relatable journeys in motherhood.
Let's do motherhood together! We can't control all of our circumstances, but we can change how we experience them.

91. The Power of Slowing Down in Motherhood
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Lately, I’ve been feeling the familiar tension of wanting to grow, be productive, and say yes, while also craving a slower, more present way of living. In this episode, I’m reflecting on a recent family trip that completely shifted my perspective on pace, presence, and what it really means to slow down in motherhood. What I realized surprised me: slowing down isn’t just about doing less, it’s about becoming different internally. Together, we explore why so many moms feel pulled in every direction, how our internal urgency gets shaped, and what it looks like to live at a more human pace, even in a very full life.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re failing
- The hidden pressure of modern motherhood and constant urgency
- How environment and pace shape your nervous system
- What a slower pace can reveal about clarity, peace, and presence
- Simple ways to disrupt autopilot and create micro-moments of calm
- How to embrace the both/and of motherhood
- Practical shifts to help you slow down
This episode is an invitation to breathe, reflect, and consider how a simple shift in pace might bring more clarity, connection, and calm into your everyday life.
