Episode Details

In this Mother's Day episode of Small Changes Big Shifts, Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh Soza reflect on the many forms of motherhood from raising children to being mentors and "bonus moms." They honor the women who shaped them while acknowledging the beauty and complexity of the journey.

Through personal stories, they emphasize self-compassion, healing, and letting go of perfection. Their message is simple: trust yourself, embrace growth, and stay present in the moments that matter most.

Key Takeaways:

• Motherhood comes in many forms—biological, chosen, and community-based.

• You are meant to be in the roles you're given—trust your intuition.

• It's not about being perfect; it's about repairing, learning, and growing.

• Healing begins with compassion—for yourself, your parents, and others.

• Life moves fast—be present and find joy in the small, everyday moments.
