Nourishing the Mother

Author: Bridget Wood & Julie Tenner

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 weve 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 wed rather deny and get back in love with yourself, motherhood and who you are as a feminine woman.

NTM 532: The Brave Season: Parenting, Letting Go & Redefining Yourself
Episode 532
Thursday, 18 September, 2025

This episode is raw, tear-filled, and honest as Julie shares what it was actually like to say goodbye to Heath as he left for the United States — the pride, the ache, and the messy middle. We walk through the good, the bad, the ugly, the learning, and the letting go. It’s matrescence at the other end of parenting, when identity is cleaved and you gather the pieces to remake yourself, and when love and intimacy are invited to mature.In this episode we discuss:- Letting go of a son to the world and the real sensations of a stretched nervous system without pathologising it- The grief-swell and pride-swell cycle, and allowing both to belong- Identity beyond roles: who am I when the house is quieter and the calendar opens- Micro-choices that rebuild selfhood: choosing your own rhythm, protecting small desires, giving yourself room to want- Loving without clinging: holding freedom for those we love and for ourselves- How eroticism returns when pressure drops and sovereignty rises- Partnership in transition: inviting support, naming needs, staying tender when you miss each otherWant support on this journey?
