Embracing Grief Over Guilt in Motherhood

In this episode, I explore the profound emotions surrounding motherhood, particularly the transition many mothers face when they realize that conventional approaches to health may not serve their children well. I delve into the concept of “mom guilt,” which often arises when mothers recognize that their choices—like using chemical cleaners or not prioritizing nutrition—might have negatively impacted their kids' health.

However, I propose an alternative perspective: instead of guilt, many mothers are experiencing grief. This grief stems from the realization that societal norms around health and child-rearing can often be misguided, leading to harm. As mothers, we are deeply connected to our children and naturally feel the weight of these realizations, which can be overwhelming.

I share my personal journey as a mother of four sons, discussing the challenges and joys of motherhood while highlighting the importance of nurturing health from the very beginning. I also touch on the loss of community and ancestral practices that once prioritized the well-being of future generations.

Drawing on insights from the book *The New Path*, I emphasize that modern society has distanced itself from nature, contributing to a decline in our children’s health across generations. I encourage mothers to acknowledge their grief, as processing these feelings can foster healing not just for themselves but also for their children.

Ultimately, I call for collective healing among mothers, urging us to share our experiences and support one another. By doing so, we can reclaim our strength and ensure a healthier future for the next generation.

For those seeking deeper support, I offer a minerals and microbes package designed to help mothers restore balance and break free from cycles of burnout. Learn more HERE. 

With love, minerals, and microbes, I invite all mothers to sit with their grief and recognize that we are not alone in this journey.
