Episode 42: The Decade of Learning: Growing into the Moms We Are Today

We didn’t wake up with these perspectives; we grew into them. In this episode of Meeting of the Moms, Amy and Lorna look back at the years of "doing" and realize how much they’ve learned about simply "being." It has taken time, trial, and plenty of error to move from the stress of multitasking breakfasts to the peace of sitting and truly talking with our children. Join us as we discuss the "Decade of Learning"—a season of life where we finally give ourselves permission to be "bad" at something while we find our footing. We’re exploring how to replace self-judgment with a lens of gratitude, whether that’s seeing the contribution of our spouses with fresh eyes or realizing that "flexibility" looks different for every family. From Lorna’s commitment to being available for a spontaneous game of catch to Amy’s choice to trade the to-do list for a morning note to her son, we’re sharing the tools we’ve gathered along the way. Highlights include: -Years in the Making: Why perspective is a slow-growth fruit. -The Permission to Fail: Being willing to be "bad" at something as you learn a new way of mothering. -New Eyes: Shifting from the "mental load" to a lens of gratitude for our partners. -The Tucking-In Ritual: Why we never outgrow the need for connection, even with our older kids.
