From Sacrifice to Stardust: A New Vision Of Motherhood
Episode 10
Tuesday, 17 March, 2026
Dr. Gertrude Lyons (www.drgertrudelyons.com) invites us to rethink what it means to mother—starting with the radical idea that we all mother, and the most important person we nurture is ourselves. In this episode, she explores how cultural “mother codes” shape our beliefs: that there’s a right way to parent, that we should instinctively know how to do it all, and that success means doing it alone. These narratives often leave mothers feeling ashamed, isolated, and inadequate—especially in the age of social media.Through a lens of intentionality, creativity, and choice, Dr. Lyons encourages us to release self-blame and redefine parenting on our own terms. She dives into the power of intuition, the importance of responding instead of reacting, and the value of “do-overs” as we grow alongside our children. This conversation is about reclaiming ownership, rejecting harmful cultural messages, and stepping into a more expansive vision of motherhood—from sacrifice to stardust.
