I’m recording this sitting on the floor of a half-finished room. My house is a mess, laundry everywhere, dishes in the sink, toys scattered across every surface, and everything in me is telling me I should go clean it up before I let myself do this.
But I didn’t. I pressed record anyway.
This episode is really about that moment, the one where you choose to tend to yourself even when everything else feels like it’s asking for you first.
In this episode, I talk about what it’s actually like to move through motherhood as a Projector in a life that constantly requires you to respond.
I share the tension between wanting to slow down and feeling like I’m always being pulled into doing, fixing, managing, and tending. I unpack a concept that used to trigger me deeply: “Projectors aren’t designed to be parents.”
Now that I am a Projector Parent, how do I feel about that concept?
If you’re a Projector mom who feels stretched thin, overstimulated by the mess, and quietly guilty for not having endless energy to give, this episode is for you. When we stop forcing and start listening, our kids will show us exactly where we’re meant to meet them.
Highlights:
- Why motherhood can feel especially draining for Projector energy
- How I’m learning to do less with my kids (and why that actually works better)
- Creating independence in the home to reduce constant demands
- What it looks like to wait for my children to invite me into their world
- How my kids are showing me, in real time, the kind of mother they need me to be
- Letting go of the idea that everything needs to be “in order” before I can show up
