We are told by so many that motherhood will be the best experience of your life - you will be joyful, excited, and even elevated. You are even expected to be happy at all times. But is this the real experience of motherhood? Or does the truth look more like exhaustion, overwhelm, and confusion?
 
In this episode, Ludmila creates a space for an honest conversation about motherhood and speaks from her own experience of self-exploration when motherhood broke her and made her again. Because no book or course can prepare you for the role of a lifetime, and if you are struggling, it is okay!

 
KEY POINTS:
- The all-consuming truth of motherhood 
- Challenges motherhood can bring to a relationship  
- Why is there a stigma around the struggles of motherhood?
- How children are mirrors of ourselves 
- Acceptance, grace, and compassion 
 
QUOTABLES:
“I remember talking to my own mom, and she told me, wow, I'm so happy for you. You are entering the best chapter of your life. And then we had our first son. And I looked in the mirror, and I couldn't recognize the person I was looking at. I had no idea who I was.” - Ludmila Woodruff
“So many women struggle in silence. And it doesn't have to be a struggle in silence. It can be an open communication and conversation that we all can have as a society, as culture, as communities, and as families.” - Ludmila Woodruff
“You can only love your kids and extend kindness to them to the extent that you do that for yourself.” - Ludmila Woodruff

Take a deep breath. How does your body feel? Now if you are saying to yourself, I don’t have time for this, this does not bring me income, or you believe you just need to think in more positive ways…this episode is for you!
 
While we often talk about mindset, in this episode, Ludmila does not want you to forget the importance of understanding your body and nervous system, especially in how it responds to triggers in your relationships. So how do you attend to your emotions? How do you deal with them? How can you regulate yourself more to be a safe space not only for yourself but for others?
 
Tune in, start understanding your body’s responses and work with your nervous system rather than against it with Ludmila today!

 
KEY POINTS:
- Our nervous system and its responses
- Fight, flight, appease, and freeze
- What actually happens when we get activated/triggered?
- How to navigate feeling dysregulated
- Practice! Change takes time
- Rewiring our nervous system to have a wider window of tolerance 
 
QUOTABLES:
“We keep blaming other people. We want them to change. They need to make us feel better. So we find ourselves very controlling because we don't know how to control our emotions. We feel out of control inside. So we try to control everything outside of us.”
“When you navigate conflict you need to start creating different experiences that will create different emotions. So we're really rewiring your brain and your nervous system.”

In the society we live in today, we glorify working hard, hustling, and doing anything and everything to meet our goals. But in this episode, Ludmila wants to glorify another part of the human experience and one that is essential for relationships to thrive - feelings!
 
Tune in as Ludmila changes the conversation around the sensitive topic of feelings and explores why, if we want to heal, we need to be able to feel.

 
KEY POINTS:

- The connection between your caregivers and your relational/emotional blueprint 
- It is okay to feel! Normalize it!
- Your feelings aren’t going anywhere, so let’s explore them
- Understanding the way your emotional experience impacts your relationships

QUOTABLES:
“We need to start normalizing that it is okay to feel, that feelings belong in this realm of our experience in this physical world. And there is more beyond thinking positively - this is toxic.”
“If we don't take time to be curious and compassionate and courageous about our emotional way of being, it's hard to connect, and we all want to belong and connect.”
