#2 Reflections On a Darker Time

The Chrissy Beth Show

Show Notes

In this episode, I find myself crying in my car and reflecting on a darker time in my life. I flashback to a time when I was going through my divorce and wanted to be numb from the heartache and pain. I explore sitting in the moments that feel the darkest and most painful and how tempting it can be to want to escape and be numb. Can we, instead, choose to stay awake during the storm?

In this episode of The Chrissy Beth Show, Chrissy is joined by Kali from Birth Nectar for an honest conversation about motherhood, birth, perimenopause, single motherhood, intuition, and the many different ways women find their way through life. Both navigating motherhood in their forties, Chrissy and Kali explore the pressure women can feel to do things the “right” way—and what happens when we stop looking outside ourselves for all the answers. From birth experiences and changing bodies to major life transitions and learning to trust yourself again, this conversation is a reminder that there is no single path that fits every woman. At the heart of the episode is a simple idea: there is no one right way. Motherhood, womanhood and life ask each of us to come back to our own intuition, listen deeply, and find the way that is true for us. Motherhood, Intuition & Finding Your Own Way is a warm, real conversation for women who are ready to trust themselves a little more and live with greater authenticity, confidence and freedom. You can find Kali and learn more about Birth Nectar at www.birthnectar.org or on Instagram at @birth_nectar.

This is a recording of me reading my latest Substack post and wanted to share the audio here. Recently I’ve felt pulled to share more about my journey into motherhood and how it came to me much “later in life” than others. I put quotes around it because I feel time is a wild thing to try to label and in general, society has very much tried to give us parameters on what is “appropriate” for our lives. I truly believe that every woman’s fertility and motherhood journeys are so unique. There is no right or wrong, and all paths can come with its benefits as well as challenges. I didn’t start trying for babies until after 40.

I recorded these affirmations on a morning walk as I move into a season of transition and becoming. This is a gentle audio for women in the in-between — for moments of walking, resting, or quiet reflection. You don’t need to do anything while you listen. Just let the words meet you where you are.
