NTM 485: Lowering your parenting bar as a conscious parent

Nourishing the Mother

“But hang on Bridget and Julie, don’t we want to get better, more conscious, and more attuned with our kids?” We know! This episode might seem counterintuitive, but what we’re leading you into, is instead of a rulebook in your head, we want you to drop into your experience, and parent from there.
In this episode we discuss:
- The dynamic of always trying to find ‘more’ spaciousness when you haven’t got anything left
- Holding pride in being the ‘perfect, conscious parent’
- Dynamics that balance your psyche to create connection and love
- Allowing experiences that humble you
- Setting our kids up for unrealistic relational expectations
- Your unwillingness is important for their development
- Holding fantasies about being calm and spacious
- Learning to track what’s happening in your body
- Holding being disliked and judged
- Boundaries and people-pleasing
- Recognising when you’re seeking to be oaky in your child’s eyes, rather than tuning into their direct experience
