Past SRSS Mini Talks: Sharing the New Mom Journey, Claire Zlobin 2021

In her 2021 Self-Reg talk from the Self-Reg Summer Symposium,, Claire Zlobin takes us on a video walk through her favourite woods, a place she goes to restore and get back to balance. She shares some of the struggles and anxieties she experienced as a new Mom, in hopes that her story can provide some perspective to other moms who are going through similar experiences.

“One of the biggest hurdles I had to overcome as a mother was the fear of something happening to my kids…I felt like my amygdala, the part of my brain that is always looking for safety, became my whole being for awhile, when my children were born. And I had to learn to keep putting one foot in front of the other and let them be themselves. And that, while I can give them the tools to thrive, I can’t protect them from whatever life is going to throw their way."
