53. Practicing Presence in a Fast-Paced World: Why It Matters for Modern Motherhood
Episode 53
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
Please share your thoughts about how you felt about the episode and/or podcast!My son’s 8th birthday just passed… and it reminded me how quickly childhood moves.How are they growing this fast?The truth is, motherhood feels like a blur sometimes. Not because we don’t love our children — but because we’re exhausted and busy. Overstimulated. Living in a culture that keeps us in constant “go mode.”In this episode, I’m reflecting on what celebrating another year of my son’s life revealed to me about practicing presence — and why it feels so hard in today’s world.Because we were raised in systems that trained us to:Measure our worth by productivityPrioritize productivity over connectionPush through exhaustionOverride our bodiesAnd those systems don’t support regulated nervous systems. They don’t prioritize maternal mental health. They don’t protect mothers. They don’t honor slowness, rest, or sacred connection.So when you struggle to be present, it’s not because you’re failing. It’s conditioning. You were conditioned to survive in environments that disconnect you from your body and your children.Inside this episode, we explore:How practicing presence supports nervous system healingWhy modern systems keep mothers overstimulated and disconnectedThe holistic health benefits of slowing downHow presence reduces overwhelm and mom guiltThe spiritual impact of choosing gratitude, compassion, and conscious connectionSimple, realistic ways to be more present — even in a fast-paced worldPracticing presence isn’t about being a perfect mom. It’s about reclaiming your nervous system and your joy. It’s about choosing connection over conditioning. It’s truly an act of resistance.If you’ve been feeling depleted, anxious, or stretched thin, this episode will gently remind you: you’re not broken. You’re navigating systems that were never designed to support mothers. And you can begin reclaiming your presence one breath at a time.
