In this episode from the Wise Women Series, I interview Dr. Gertrude Lyons, an educator and podcast host focused on challenging traditional beliefs about motherhood and empowering women to redefine their journey as mothers. Practical advice in this conversation includes making a "do something list" to prioritize self-care and fulfillment, and the importance of celebrating small daily parenting successes to combat cultural pressures of perfection. Dr. Lyons also emphasizes that self-care and personal growth not only benefit mothers but also positively impact their children. Together, we explore the concept of redefining motherhood, embracing a personalized and fulfilling approach, and discuss insights from Dr. Lyons on her views and work in the field.
