In this episode, we unpack the complex, emotionally loaded space where your child’s bids for connection meet your very real, very human need for separation.
Whether it's bedtime, the end of a long day, or another moment when you feel like they’re clawing at your leg and you just have to get away, we go deep into the internal and external pressures that make this one of the most painful tensions in motherhood.
We explore how unmet needs, maternal conditioning, nervous system dysregulation, and identity structures shaped in survival can all feed a sense of powerlessness and depletion. But we also explore what’s possible when we stop seeing this as a binary — them or us — and begin creating safety, spaciousness, and mutual respect in the way we separate and reconnect.
