Ep 124: The Good Girl Grid and Owning our Own Motherhood Experience

Written By Helena Bradbury

Want your question answered on the podcast?

In this solo episode Cath uses her concept 'The Good Girl Grid' to explain how women are held down in society and how this complicates our ability to own our own internal and motherhood experience. She talks about the idea of 'being on our own sides' and what that means and how that might look in practise (using anecdotes from her own life).

Parenting is a huge growth opportunity, please be gentle with yourself.
