183: Mother-Curious: How to Create the Family You Want
Family isn’t one-size-fits-all. And neither is the journey to building one. In today’s episode of Chick Chat, we’re diving into a conversation that challenges traditional ideas of family and motherhood. Whether you’re a new parent, dreaming of parenthood, or simply curious about your own path, this episode will inspire you to embrace possibility and self-discovery.
So many of us grow up with certain expectations about what “family” should look like. But what if you could design a family that truly reflects your values, dreams, and lifestyle? That’s exactly what today’s guest, Dr. Gertrude Lyons, empowers people to do. Through her work, she invites us to explore our deepest desires around family-building, challenge societal norms, and step into motherhood — or the essence of mothering — in an intentional, fulfilling way.
Who is Dr. Gertrude Lyons?
Dr. Gertrude Lyons is the visionary behind Rewrite The Mother Code, a groundbreaking approach to personal transformation and family creation. With over 20 years of experience in coaching, women’s development, and holistic parenting, she combines her Doctorate in Education and Master’s in Psychology to help individuals and families live more authentically. Her mission is to help people tap into the essence of “mothering” as a creative, nurturing energy that transcends biology, empowering them to lead more intentional, joyful lives.
What We Discussed in This Episode
In our conversation, Dr. Gertrude introduces the concept of being “Mother-Curious” — an invitation to explore what family means to you, free from societal pressure or traditional timelines. She shares why so many people struggle to create the family they truly want and the myths that can hold them back. We talk about her personal journey to motherhood, how support systems can make or break your family-building experience, and what to do if fear of judgment is stopping you from living your truth. Plus, she gives practical first steps for anyone ready to explore their Mother-Curious path and create a family that feels aligned with their heart.
Final Thoughts
This episode is a reminder that your journey to family, whatever it looks like, is valid, worthy, and entirely your own. By embracing curiosity, breaking free from old narratives, and building strong support systems, you can open the door to a family life that truly fulfills you.
