Unpacking the Myth of the Natural Mother with Vanessa Spinarsky
Is motherhood supposed to come naturally? Or have we been sold a myth that leaves moms feeling broken and inadequate when reality doesn’t match the script? In this deeply validating episode of The Worthy Mother Podcast, Emily sits down with therapist, writer, and mom Vanessa Spinarsky to unpack the cultural myth of the “natural mother.”
Together, they explore:
- Why so many women feel like they’ve “signed an invisible contract” in motherhood
- How societal expectations and “corporate motherhood” keep moms stuck in survival mode
- The concept of self-forsaking and how it erodes identity over time
- Why joy, neutrality, and authentic self-return are acts of resistance
- Practical ways moms can reconnect with themselves through markers like movement, music, and emotional honesty
This conversation will leave you feeling less alone, more empowered, and ready to question the unrealistic standards surrounding modern motherhood.
