RMC 18 - A Flopped Launch: Motherhood, Identity, and the Parts We Avoid

Recently my six-week program, motHERstory, was supposed to start, and no one signed up. In this episode, I’m not trying to spin that into something positive or hide it. I’m sitting with it and looking at what it actually revealed about me. Because this is the work I believe in:  not perfection, but self-honesty. I share the parts of me that weren’t fully in while expecting others to be. The pattern of getting excited about something and then pulling back when it comes to selling it. The doubt, the fear of being seen, and the deeper fear of what would happen if it actually worked. I also speak about my Human Design as a Sacral Generator, and how frustration isn’t failure but it’s feedback. An invitation for refinement. But more than anything, this episode is about the moment when life holds up a mirror and shows you something you didn’t fully want to see yet, and why finding yourself as a mother often starts with uncomfortable honesty. And maybe, if you’re listening, there’s something in your life too — something that feels exciting, but also uncomfortable. This is a gentle invitation to look at it with curiosity, not judgment. In this episode I talk about: What “not working” can actually reveal The gap between excitement and full commitment Frustration as feedback - especially juicy for Generators Fear of visibility, power, and capacity Why self-honesty is part of finding yourself in motherhood Connect with Olivia Iasonos, the Human Design business coach - Livy (@withlivy) | Stan Thank you for listening.
