What happens when you love your children, your partner and the life you’ve created...and still sometimes feel completely trapped by it?

In Part 1 of this three-part answer pathway, we respond to a listener who is buckling under the weight of motherhood, work, relationships and the relentless responsibility of being needed. Rather than giving you another list of things to do to “find yourself again”, we start somewhere deeper: understanding what is actually creating your suffering. We explore how comparing the life you have to the life you used to have, or the life you wish you could have, can leave you feeling increasingly resentful, burdened and stuck. We show you how to get specific about what you believe you’ve lost, what you’ve gained that you never wanted, and the evidence you may be unconsciously collecting to prove that your life is the problem.

This is the first step in moving from “I feel trapped by my life” towards understanding what you’re actually longing for, what needs to change, and where more freedom, fulfilment and choice might already be waiting for you.

In this episode we discuss:

* Why you can love your family and still feel trapped by your life
* What you’re actually longing for when you fantasise about escaping it all
* Why motherhood can leave you grieving the woman and freedom you used to have
* How to work out exactly what is making you feel so resentful, burdened and stuck
* Why comparing your life now to the life you used to have is making you suffer
* The stories you keep telling yourself that might be making your life feel even harder
* Why you keep finding more evidence that you’re trapped, unhappy or have lost yourself
* How to stop making your current life the problem without pretending you love everything about it
* What to do when you know something needs to change, but you have no idea what
* The first step towards feeling more freedom, choice and fulfilment in the life you already have
