  • From Blended Roots to Empowered Motherhood: A Journey of Identity, Autonomy, and Supporting Moms

    From Blended Roots to Empowered Motherhood: A Journey of Identity, Autonomy, and Supporting Moms
    Dec 19 2024
    In this heartfelt episode, we explore one woman’s upbringing in a blended family, her Samoan-Caucasian heritage, and how these roots shaped her into a mother and advocate for autonomy and connection. A physical therapist turned birth worker, she shares how motherhood transformed her career and perspective, offering practical wisdom for moms seeking balance, identity, and fulfillment. In This Episode: [00:02:50] A Blended Beginning: Growing up in an instant blended family with a stepdad and twin stepsiblings, she reflects on the dynamics of the '80s and '90s that shaped her values as a parent today. [00:03:50] Heritage and Identity: With a Caucasian mom and Samoan dad, she shares how her small-town upbringing masked her mixed identity—until leaving home sparked a deeper self-awareness. [00:06:08] The Sting of Assumptions: Navigating comments like “Your kids don’t look like you,” she unpacks the emotional weight of judgment and the masking it can trigger. [00:09:11] Raising Confident Kids: Inspired by her own journey, she’s intentional about fostering her children’s self-worth, no matter how they’re perceived. [00:12:02] Breaking the Mold: A self-described non-rule-follower, she explains how her childhood obedience evolved into adult autonomy—and how she extends grace to her kids’ defiance. [00:16:36] Defining Autonomy: For her, autonomy means true control over body, time, and choices—key to a fulfilling motherhood experience. [00:19:25] Crafting a Flexible Life: From biking with her kindergartner to prioritizing family mealtimes, she shares how small choices align her life with her values. [00:25:08] Bonding Beyond Comfort Zones: Whether it’s biking (which she dislikes) or building Legos, she invites moms to step into their kids’ worlds for deeper connection. [00:28:04] Always a Mom at Heart: From playing teacher with stuffed animals to chasing a dream of four kids (now capped at two!), she knew motherhood was her calling. [00:29:31] Early Motherhood Struggles: Dropping her firstborn at daycare brought tears and guilt—highlighting the challenge of balancing work and presence. [00:36:15] Motherhood as Self-Discovery: She sees parenting as a pathway to your truest self, blending creativity with the grind of daily life. [00:40:32] Advocating from the Middle: As a middle child, she learned to speak up—and now uses that voice to support other moms as a natural advocate. [00:46:01] Tools for Motherhood: Personal responsibility and in-person community (like daycare parent connections) are her go-to supports. [00:50:03] A Career Pivot: After her first child, she shifted from pediatrics to perinatal physical therapy, bridging gaps for moms and babies. [00:57:21] Busting PT Myths: Beyond postpartum pain, she explains how prenatal PT can prep for birth and support babies’ early milestones. [01:10:25] A Message to Moms: Small actions—like voicing a need or texting a friend—carry as much power as big dreams. You matter, too. Key Takeaways: Identity shapes parenting: Embracing your roots can fuel how you raise confident kids. Autonomy isn’t just freedom—it’s crafting a life that honors your values, even in small ways. Motherhood thrives on connection—whether with your kids’ passions or a supportive community. Perinatal PT isn’t just for postpartum fixes; it’s a game-changer for birth prep and baby development. Small steps toward your needs are a radical act of self-love in motherhood.
