Episode Description
Have you ever wondered why motherhood feels so much more intense for you than it seems to for other women?
In this episode, I explore four patterns I've consistently observed in gifted mothers throughout my years as a psychologist—and why understanding these patterns can help you parent with greater self-compassion while continuing to flourish yourself.
In this episode, we'll explore:
- Why motherhood often feels different for gifted women
- The gifts—and burdens—of noticing more
- When parenting responsibility quietly becomes over-responsibility
- The importance of continuing to grow as a person while raising your children
Reflection Questions
- Which of these patterns resonates most with me in this season of motherhood?
- Where has my giftedness been one of my greatest gifts as a mother?
- What part of me also needs to be nurtured this season?
