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.

NTM 550: Parenting, Pressure & Protecting Your Partnership
Episode 550
Monday, 23 February, 2026
In this honest, grounded conversation, we unpack what it really takes to sustain a long-term relationship through parenting, midlife shifts, sexual differences, resentment, novelty, and the quiet drift that can happen when life gets busy. We share personal stories from our own marriages - the escapes, the misunderstandings, the accountability, the grace - and explore how intentional action, communication, sexual intimacy, and self-awareness can transform a partnership from obligation back into choice. This is a conversation about choosing each other again and again, with freedom, truth, and depth.In this episode, we discuss:-The reality of long-term love beyond the honeymoon phase-How parenting reshapes identity, intimacy, and friendship-Why modern couples spend so little quality time together...and what that costs us- The power of novelty in preventing complacency- Grace as the glue in decades-long relationships- Masculine accountability and moving out of resentment- What happens when love languages don’t naturally align- Why immediate action often creates more connection than endless planning- Balancing personal freedom with relational responsibility- Sexual intimacy as a sustaining force in long-term partnership- When women have higher desire — and normalising that dynamic- The difference between possession and conscious choice in love- Self-awareness, capacity tracking, and ending people-pleasing patterns- Making the most of fleeting moments of connection as parents- Building trust with children while holding your own truth- Why relationships require ongoing adaptation, not autopilot- The transformative power of compassion, honesty, and consent- Choosing your partner again; not because you have to, but because you want toWant support on this journey?
