21. This Too Shall Pass: Mothering Through the Dark Night

In this personal solo episode, Laura opens her heart from a raw, vulnerable place — sharing her current descent into the unknown. Speaking from her temporary home in Ireland after a major life shift, she reflects on solo motherhood, burnout, the unschooling journey, the call back to ancestral roots, and the painful but potent process of discerning where "home" truly is.With honesty and tenderness, she offers a window into the inner workings of her nervous system, the wisdom of slowing down, and the medicine of nature. Laura shares how she is learning — again — to hold herself through the darkness, just as she has held others. This is a love letter to mothers navigating transition, and a reminder that we are never alone in the spiral.Topics in this episode:◦Double parenting ◦Unschooling journey◦The sacredness of menstrual blood (origin of “rolling out the red carpet”)◦The healing landscape of Ireland’s Burren◦The importance of grounding and micro-practices for nervous system regulationPlus, a look ahead at upcoming guest episodes with brilliant women in pelvic care, herbalism, free birthing, and homeschooling in Ireland. ✨ I’d love to hear from you—how are these episodes landing with you?
