Deconstructing Mamas
If you are trying to figure out how to navigate the tricky tightrope of parenting while you have questions, doubts and wonderings about your spiritual journey, this podcast is for you. It doesn't matter if your kids are smalls, middles, or bigs. We will explore what and how we are deconstructing from churchianity, harmful belief systems, and diving deep into the ways we can work this out in parenthood. We will also work through ideas for reconstructing a space for our families to thrive under new systems of love and freedom. We can't wait to bring you some hope that you are not alone and that it's really okay, even good, to explore all the possibilities that may have felt closed off in the past. This podcast will offer you grace and space to be exactly where you are and who you are. We are glad you are here.
Deconstructing Mamas
What Matters? - Sarah W. Bragg
“If I widen the lens and see this concept from a new perspective, then yes, I do matter. I do have purpose. I’ve just redefined my view of purpose. I’ve taken the pressure off. And I’ve started to find fulfillment, contentment, and gratification in small actions that matter." Sarah W. Bragg
Our episode this week is with Sarah W. Bragg, mom of two teens, author of the new book, Is Everyone Happier Than Me?, and podcast host.
Sarah's humor, combined with her tenderness and strength, lends itself to an incredible conversation.
Some of the topics we explore are these:
- Where her spiritual journey falls into the thoughts that keep her up at night.
- Healthy boundaries with social media. Fostering connection without comparison.
- Building true connection with ourselves, especially if we have spent our lives being told that connection to self was unimportant or wrong.
- The role of play and pleasure in coming back to ourselves.
- Redefining purpose.
- What really matters?
- The valuable role of curiosity.
Our favorite words from this podcast episode were pressure off, play, pleasure, edges, Real Housewives, and 3 am. Find out why when you listen.
