Listen "28. Navigating Mother’s Day After Losing Your Mom with Binu Dhindsa and Vanessa Woodburn"

Episode Synopsis

Facing Mother’s Day when your mom has passed away can be difficult. If you’re a mom yourself, this day can be especially complicated, because while your family wants to honour and celebrate you, you may be feeling grief and missing your own mom. These conflicting emotions that show up on that day can be tough to manage. 
Listen in on this conversation between Brenda Jasmin, Vanessa Woodburn and Binu Dhindsa, three moms who are friends, and have lost their own mothers, as they share their experiences with how they deal with the mixed feelings that show up on Mother’s Day. 
Vanessa Woodburn is a Brain Health Coach and Author of “Bounce Back” and Binu Dhindsa is a Spiritual Mentor and Coach. 
Here are some of the topics we discuss:

How to cope with the difficult emotions that can show up on Mother’s Day.
Creative ways to honour Mother’s Day when your mom has passed.
Making space to grieve and allow both the positive and the difficult emotions that can show up on Mother’s Day.
The importance of self-compassion and empowering yourself to make choices that honour what you need.
Navigating, honouring, and embracing the mixed emotions that can show up on Mother’s Day.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of our moms: Cathleen, Peggy and Veena.
