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 551: Why Some Friendships Don’t Survive Motherhood
Episode 551
Thursday, 5 March, 2026
Adult friendships can look very different once life fills up with partners, children, careers and shifting values. In this conversation we explore what it really means to navigate friendship as grown women: the grief when friendships change, the beauty of seasonal relationships, and the quiet truth that the friendships that last are the ones built on reciprocity, honesty and shared values. We unpack the pressure women often feel to maintain friendships exactly as they once were, and why allowing relationships to evolve can actually create space for deeper, more aligned connection.In this episode we discuss:• How friendships naturally evolve through motherhood, career shifts and changing life seasons• The grief that can arise when friendships change, stretch or quietly fall away• Why some friendships are seasonal gifts rather than lifelong commitments• Navigating different parenting styles, values and life circumstances with friends• The emotional labour women often carry in maintaining friendships• The importance of reciprocity; friendships need deposits, not just withdrawals• Setting boundaries when friends expect more than you can realistically give• How children can sometimes mirror our own relationship wounds and friendship patterns• The difference between friendships built on proximity and those built on deeper alignment• Creating space for friendships that feel nourishing, mutual and authentic in this season of life• Why mature friendships allow for distance, difference and changing capacity without punishment• Investing in the friendships that truly support who you are becoming• A reflection on community, belonging and the role spaces like Honey Club can play in supporting women through these seasonsWant support on this journey?
