EP20: Daring the Edge with Nancy Hill

Published: Oct. 2, 2017, 9 a.m.

In this episode, I\u2019m delighted to have Nancy Hill, pioneer in life and women\u2019s work, back on the show and this time we talk specifically about Mothers and navigating the love of motherhood and marriage alongside the pursuit of our passions outside these realms. Nancy shares how she came to decisions she made as a younger woman in response to the realization she was losing\xa0something of her identity and the need to keep her soul alive. We discuss how 'what a women should and should not be doing' runs deeply within the fabric of our culture and her advice in 'daring the edge' of what we know and don\u2019t know and\xa0what feels safe or unsafe is where we find the aliveness of life. We consider\xa0the importance of keeping our own fire alive and touch on\xa0reconciling the knowing that we, as caregivers, may be the cause of pain for those we love when we make choices that are\xa0true to ourselves. Nancy shares,\xa0in hindsight, that living her dream carried an invaluable lesson for her\xa0daughter and positively affected both her posture as a mother as well as relationships among her family members. She shares how\xa0not living our dream creates a dangerous space for our children and our marriages. This is a topic that pokes at a lot of emotions - I invite you to join us as we get curious\xa0whether we, as women, give up our right to explore our gifts and talents when we become a mother\u2019? Join us now as we begin to create space...
