Episode description

Today I’m talking with Mary Caplin, mother of two and a certified doula. She shares some incredible defining moments in her mothering journey. She talks about paradigm shifts and some sacred moments of grieving through a miscarriage.

• Being a mother who is committed is more important than any "accomplishments."
• Thinking about your commitment to you kids helps you recognize the good that you are doing in your daily life.
• We can't be perfect 100% of the time, but we can be pretty good at commitment!
• Learning from other moms around you can help you relax into what you are doing.
• Letting go and giving our problems over to God will allow Him to carry you.
• Let go of the negative and it will make room for the hope to come in.
• You are a woman. You are strong. You are a mother. Just by virtue of being a mother, you are blessed with intuition. It's a real thing and you will be able to make the best decisions that are best for you and your family.
• Motherhood is vulnerability and strength together.
• Learning how to go through a grieving process with your spouse is unifying.
• Speak your feelings out loud in your car alone. Write it out. Talk to a spouse or other loved ones. Let the feelings out to be able to process them.
