31. What do I actually need?

In this episode, I explore the common (and often daunting) question that many mothers ask: "What do I actually need?" This question seems to come more from a place of overwhelm, resentment, or struggle, versus one of curiosity and hopefulness.I share part of my personal health journey, including dealing with bunions that affected my knee health and gut issues that came with a side of an autoimmune condition. Through these experiences, I discovered the importance of looking beyond symptoms to find the root causes of our struggles. We explore how getting to the root of our issues requires us to examine what's happening in our nervous systems. I discuss how 90-95% of our experience is driven by our subconscious, which has been programmed by our lineage, family upbringing, and larger systems like patriarchy, capitalism, and societal expectations.While we might need specific solutions like therapy, household help, or medical interventions, what we all need on some level is to understand what is happening in our bodies and learn how to regulate our nervous systems. When we tend to our dysregulated nervous systems at the root, the positive impact is significant.Resources Mentioned:The Mother Matrix - A series exploring the systems and programs that influence our lives, bodies, and nervous systems.
