Listen "#11 - Holding Christmas Through Change"
Episode Synopsis
In this honest and grounding conversation, Indrė Ratkelė is joined by Reah Hagues for a thoughtful exploration of motherhood, emotional wellbeing, and the often-unseen mental and emotional load carried by mothers.
This episode is published across I Am Ready, Just the WHO of Us, and Mom Brain with Falolity, bringing together themes of personal growth, identity, and parenting in a way that speaks to women and mothers at every stage.
Drawing from real-life experiences and reflections, Indrė and Reah speak openly about slowing down in a fast-paced world, recognising emotional overwhelm, and offering ourselves compassion without guilt. The conversation touches on the pressure to “hold it all together,” the impact of constant responsibility on the nervous system, and the importance of presence over perfection — especially during busy or emotionally charged seasons.
Rather than offering quick fixes, this episode creates space for understanding, validation, and self-awareness. It is an invitation to pause, to listen inwardly, and to remember that caring for yourself is not separate from caring for your family — it is essential to it.
Whether you are navigating motherhood, parenting identity, or simply seeking a calmer and more conscious way of living, this conversation offers reassurance, perspective, and gentle encouragement to honour your emotions and move through life with greater ease and compassion.
