What happens when the woman who spent years telling her partner that having kids was a 'dealbreaker' suddenly finds herself in her mid-30s wanting the exact thing she'd been against her entire life? Meet Brittany Gordon, a holistic nutritionist, founder of Healing Ginger, sister, daughter, friend, and now mom to two-year old Lillian.
This week our conversation is focused around the experience of becoming a mother on the other side of 40, including the unexpected identity earthquake that Brittany had, the specific loneliness of being the oldest mom at playgroup, and the particular grief of looking at your toddler and realizing she's going to be fairly young when you die.
Brittany is equal parts funny and raw, with a dash of quiet radical, as she explains what it was like to go from successful entrepreneur to mom to somehow finding a rhythm between both when she went back to work at just three months postpartum because … small business owner!
Join us as she also shares the unexpected gifts of becoming a later-in-life mother – the steadiness, the self-knowledge, the friendships that have already survived their hardest tests along with the ability to slow down and actually appreciate the slowing.
This conversation is really about identity, how we build it, how we lose it, and how we piece it back together when life hands us something we didn't see coming.
Grab yourself a salty-snack and settle in. This one's a keeper.
