Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode with Dr. Danielle Dowling, Bryce and Danielle explore the paradigm shift that happens when moms reflect on the conditioning they had as young girls to be “good” and the realization that being a “good” mom actually happens when they are healthy. Being a healthy mom doesn’t mean forgetting who they are as a person outside of being a mom. Danielle explains that girls often learn that they need to be agreeable, impressive, low-maintenance, helpful, and generally, not to be a burden to others. Danielle’s work provides women, and especially moms, the ability to re-write their stories so that worth isn’t tied to productivity, but rather prioritizing their nervous systems so they can be healthy moms without the underlying guilt of being a burden.
