Modern mothers are met with a huge physical, mental and emotional load to carry - and often without the support of a village. Yet even when we are offered help, its common to brush up against the cultural conditioning of independence, the inner critic that says we should be doing more, the discomfort of feeling like a burden to others, or the grief of feeling like its inadequate or never enough.
This episode looks under the surface of the stories we carry around receiving - how these stories shape our inner dialogue, the ways we open to or unconsciously reject help that is available, and how we can begin to break the cycle of expectation that women should carry it all for our sons & daughters.

When we’re faced with the unexpected, like birth, our thoughts and choices are easily motivated by fear. But, fear hijacks our ability to connect with our hearts and our intentions, so we sometimes make choices that don't reflect our core beliefs — and then later, we feel shame, wish for do-overs and carry judgment towards ourselves. 
In this episode, we explore the stories we carry around fear, both the common and unconscious fears that almost all women meet in their preparation.
