“Acknowledging our fears around mothering and motherhood is empowering and courageous.”

This episode of Tough Mothers TV is deep!
I speak with mum of two, Belinda Hughes, about the fears we feel around our children and parenting, and how we deal with these. And you can too.
Motherhood is an opportunity to really get to know ourselves, and our children are our greatest teachers. Belinda shares how she transitioned from a fear-based space to a loving ground, and how mothers can manage their own fears, and not project them onto their children.

Key takeaways from this episode of Tough Mothers TV:
-Many of the fears mothers face come from our wounded inner child
-Fear is a natural part of mothering and motherhood.
-It is important to feel the fear, but we should not attach ourselves to it.
-Learning to surrender to your fears and feelings is an important part of motherhood.

PS. Surrender does not mean give in, surrender means let go
