NTM 496: I’m not organised enough to sit with your emotions right now

Nourishing the Mother

How do we forget, every single year, what December is like as mums? We somehow expect ourselves to 10X the events, organisation, and emotional load — without creating any extra space for it.
Sound familiar? Us too.
But as conscious mums, we’re always asking: How can we realign, embody, ground, and anchor ourselves in the chaos?
Let's explore how to hold it all — without losing ourselves in the process.
In the episode we discuss:
- When you’re already full, how do you fit more in?
- Berating ourselves for not being more patient, more organised and more present
- The organisation required to hold our kids’ anxiety for an event is often bigger than the organisation of the actual event
- Just like your kids, are you allowed to feel overwhelmed? Can you make it okay?
- Shifting from ‘I’m not doing enough’ when they meltdown to ‘What if they need this?’
- How much flexibility can you bring to your festive season?
- Can you throw out any rules around how this festive season should be
- Nice enough is good enough
- What’s your guiding intention for this season?
- When things don’t go to plan, when kids aren’t met, we can hold and anchor
- If we can’t be with our own guilt or shame, we’ll find it hard to be with our kids’ disappointment
- How do you want this time of year to feel?
