NTM 467: So you’re in a relationship, but it feels like you’re solo parenting?

Nourishing the Mother

Firstly, ouch. That’s a hard place to be. How do you get out of the burnout and resentment cycles and into a parenting relationship that feels more equitable?
First, you’ve got to look at why you’re overfunctioning, what your emotional set point is, and how you can step out of the way. So let’s get on the co-parenting train!
In this episode we discuss:
- Our motherhood can be shaped by how supported or unsupported we feel
- Feeling trapped and alone
- Trauma responses of self-sufficiency and people-pleasing
- Our own ‘puff-up’ and ‘beat-down’ cycles
- How to hold your own personal standards
- Releasing your trauma responses on your partner
- Your partner’s parenting relationship is not yours to steer or control
- Being okay in your lean-back
- Trusting your kids to build their own relationships
