In this episode, Dr Dunni, an award-winning mom empowerment coach and family medicine doctor, shares an inspiring story about a seed that transforms its painful, dark experience into a journey of growth and fulfilment. Drawing parallels between the seed's struggle and the challenges mothers face, she emphasizes the importance of acknowledging feelings of darkness, shame, and pain as opportunities for introspection and personal development. Dr Dunni encourages mothers to communicate their emotions to their children, fostering an environment where both can learn to navigate difficult feelings together.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Just like a seed that experiences darkness and discomfort before it grows, individuals, especially mothers, can find strength and potential in their challenging moments.

• Mothers need to communicate their feelings of pain, shame, or fear to themselves and their children. This openness helps children understand that it's okay to express their emotions and fosters a supportive environment for emotional growth.

• Mothers often prioritize the needs of their children over their own. Recognizing the importance of self-nourishment is crucial for personal well-being and enables mothers to be more present and engaged with their children.

• In times of loss or despair, it's essential to reflect on one's identity and potential. Understanding who you are beyond your roles and accomplishments can lead to deeper self-awareness and resilience.

• Children learn by observing their parents. By demonstrating how to process emotions and respond to challenges rather than react impulsively, mothers can teach their children valuable coping skills and emotional intelligence.

BEST MOMENTS

"In that cold, dark, uncomfortable situation, the seed started to cry out for help. But nobody heard it."

"The richest place in the world is the graveyard. Why? Because a lot of people have died carrying a lot of potential to the graves with them."

"When we are nourishing others, we feel replenished, we feel happy. But we have not placed as much value on nourishing ourselves."

"Sometimes when people say, who are you, we start to think about all our qualifications and our accomplishments. But who are you talks about who you really are."

"Every mom is a super mom, not because of the super things that she does, but because of the super powers she possesses within."
