Nourishing the MotherAuthor: 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.

Episode 537
Friday, 31 October, 2025
In this episode, we discuss what to do when your child slams the brakes on; from “I’m not going to school” to daily battles over getting dressed or leaving the house. We explore how to stay grounded when their storms threaten to pull you in, how to use play and connection to move through resistance, and why your regulation is the most powerful parenting tool you have. We unpack what happens in your body when you feel backed into a corner, how to find your anchor, and the small moments of humour, affection, and attunement that can shift even the hardest days.In this episode, we discuss:• What’s really happening when your child resists…and why matching their frustration only fuels the fire• How to stay anchored and calm when their emotions feel overwhelming• Using playfulness to shift tension, reconnect, and move through sticky moments• Finding micro-moments of humour and connection when you’re tired or touched-out• Reframing play as a mindset, not another task on your list• How your regulation invites theirs and makes co-regulation possible• Holding the bigger vision for how you want moments like these to end, even when it’s hard• Why there’s no “magic trick” to fix behaviour - but there is a way to lead with steadiness, warmth, and presenceWant support on this journey?
