Nailed It: Motherhood Podcast
Musical Moments with Mom w/ Laura Todd
Becoming a mother can bring up emotions you never expected, including grief for the mother who isn't here to experience it with you. In this episode of Nailed It Motherhood Podcast, Laura Todd shares the deeply personal story of losing her mother to breast cancer and then becoming a mother herself six years later. Laura opens up about navigating grief, and the pressure of feeling like she should somehow know how to do motherhood — especially as an infant and early childhood therapist herself. We talk about the complicated reality of watching your children experience moments your mother should have been here to see, while also finding comfort in the ways her personality, values, traditions, and love continue through your children. Laura also shares how she intentionally built a community around her family—through siblings, godparents, friends, other mothers, and professional support—and why she believes motherhood should never be done in isolation. As a perinatal mental health and infant and early childhood mental health therapist, Laura brings another important perspective to the conversation: the mental health of the parent and the development of the child are deeply connected. And because this is Nailed It Motherhood, we get real about the everyday stuff too— including burnout, balancing motherhood and business, parenting toddlers and preschoolers, and the surprisingly effective parenting strategy of singing your directions ...YAASS!
