Isabelle Hof and Laura Hof on the Secrets of the Icewomen | EP 598

Yeah, that's a good question. That's a beautiful question as well. There are many divining moments for me personally, but one of the last ones is actually becoming a mother. And you can't think about these things, about you get a baby, you get a child. How is it going to change it? You can't think about it. You can maybe fantasize it or have it in your mind.

But you can think about how, what an impact it has on your life. And for me is that before I had a very structured life, like next to the structured, I as well, some freedoms have freedom moments in that structure, but it was more disciplined. Okay. This morning I'm going to wake up early. I am going to read and doing math, doing some sports. And then yeah, I had it all together in a sense.

And then you get a child. So a child just changes everything because it's a bulk of energy that is not regulated. So you are the one who needs to regulate it. So next to yourself, you need to regulate a child and regulate it in a sense of, he doesn't hurt himself. Like you, you guide it. You're the big guy there.

And so one of the things is that you are working with a certain energy headed to your child who has needs, who wants things, who needs to do as well, who needs to go somewhere. So a lot of energy is redirected to the child. But at the same time, of course, you are a person. So both still needs to find the balance

between your giving that energy, the attention that it needs and the love it needs to the child, but as well to yourself. So the first things when a child enters your life, it's overwhelming. It's like everything goes to the child. So you need to find really a new balance between how are you living your life as a mother, but as well as an individual, as a person.

And so it's there, but you have to, yeah, I like the word recalibrate. It's a very divining moment, changes everything. That puts everything in a different order. And then you have to redefine yourself. Wow. I love that.
