Reflecting on Your Childhood to Parent with Confidence

In this episode of The Imperfect Mum, Natasha explores how looking back at your own childhood can help you reconnect to your intuition, heal generational wounds, and become the mum you always needed — for both your child and yourself.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I don’t even recognise who I am anymore…” this episode is for you.

Motherhood can feel like it strips away your identity — but the truth is, you’re not starting from scratch. You’re holding a blueprint within you, built from your deepest needs, longings, and memories. And in this gentle, reflective episode, Natasha walks you through how to access it.

Through raw personal stories, heartfelt journaling prompts, and emotional insight, you’ll be reminded that you already know more than you think — and that you are healing generations with every small, intentional choice you make.
