In this episode of the Dear Mama Project I chat with Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator and all round Early Parenting Support Wonder-Woman Jen Butler.
At the time of recording Jen was 31 weeks pregnant with her third child so we dived into the reflections of becoming a first time Mum and how moving into it for a third time, hindsight has gifted her more love and compassion for the shifts that are about to happen.
Jen shares with us the validation she felt upon hearing about the word Matrescence for the first time and how it perfectly described her journey into Motherhood, unpacking the issue of identity as a Mother and reflecting on how it impacted Jen's sense of self, questioning her feelings of who she was as a woman, mother and wife.
We also talk about the fact that the work of Mothers can feel utterly invalidating because the completion loop never reaches accomplishment... from this Jen shares the most liberating thing a Mum can come to realise.
