Mother the Mother

Today, McLean is joined by friend and fellow birth doula, Georgiana Johnson. Georgiana has been cooking for families and working as a full-spectrum doula in LA for the past 8 years. She is originally from London, England but has been on an adventure in the United States for almost 15 years now. Her passion is to protect, celebrate and nourish the family unit. This conversation is soul medicine. It is woven with notes of comfort, support, and dripping with the oils of sacred magic that is Motherhood.

Coaching Program:

If you are ready for more support in your journey as an expectant, new, or well-seasoned Mama, I am here for you. If you are ready to commit to your healing journey on a physical, emotional, and soul level, please email me at [email protected] to book a free breakthrough call to discuss in further detail. This type of 1:1 coaching allows us to go deep and work with each specific woman’s needs. It goes light-years beyond basic prenatal and postpartum group classes that are generalized and watered down. My clients are ready to go hard in uncovering the best versions of themselves and living the life of their dream lives.

Treating Yourself:

If you feel like treating yourself with some Organic and Nutrient-dense power food teas, hot chocolates, tonics, and green juice from Organifi. Use my code mother at checkout to always receive 15% off your purchase. I have been loving adding in both Green and Gold juices as part of my daily routine.

Also, an amazing company that I LOVE for Prenatal, Postnatal, and Motherhood Nutrition is https://thisisneeded.com use my code “motherthemother” at check-out for 20%. They focus on helping women thrive nutritionally during pregnancy and afterward. Most prenatal vitamins are subpar and leave expectant Mamas lacking in crucial nutrients. I personally have been loving the collagen and protein powder recently as I healed my injured leg. And even 3.5 years out, I still am laser-focused on building back my tissues after the birth of my second daughter.

I see you, I hear you, I love you.

Jai Ma.

In this episode of Mother the Mother, McLean reflects on the ever-evolving journey of parenthood, particularly the challenges of education and raising teenagers. Sharing her personal insights, McLean explores the balance between fostering independence in teens while providing guidance, encouraging parents to meet their children where they are while empowering them to grow into self-sufficient individuals.

The conversation touches on the importance of aligning educational choices with family values and remaining flexible when life calls for a pivot. McLean also emphasizes the role of manners and respect in parenting, highlighting how these foundational values shape children’s ability to navigate the world and build meaningful relationships. Through her candid reflections, McLean reminds listeners of the power of curiosity, adaptability, and an open-minded approach to parenting. This episode offers reassurance that the journey is unique for every family and provides a thoughtful space to consider what truly matters in raising well-rounded, resilient children.

Quotes:

● “If you have more than one child, your birth and pregnancy experiences are often different. You know how to ask for help and how to surrender on a deeper level. We learn as we go, and the same goes for being a mom of teenagers.”

● “Having clear boundaries and expectations is so healthy for our children. They want to know what the bounds are and what's out of bounds because that gives them a framework to push against—because that's what kids do.”

● “It's really important to track where your child is in their learning journey. We want our kids to love learning and be engaged with the world.”
