Why Motherhood Feels Different for Gifted Women (It's Not Your Imagination)

August 4
20 mins

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?
