1KHO 447: The Powerful Lost Art of Becoming Mother | Beth Barbeau, Indigo Forest
Description
Beth Barbeau returns for her sixth appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, and as always, she brings her signature wisdom, warmth, and practical insight. In this episode, Beth and Ginny dive into the concept of stretching—physically, mentally, and emotionally—throughout parenthood and life. From the unexpected challenges of new motherhood to the lifelong process of navigating change, Beth shares how embracing discomfort can lead to growth, resilience, and deeper connections with our children.
Beth reminds us that motherhood is not just something we do—it is something we become. Raising small children may not look like world-changing work from the outside, but it is—every act of care, every moment of sacrifice, and every decision to show up shapes the future in profound ways.
Beth also introduces her latest free webinar, How to Evaluate Your Sick Kids, along with her invaluable downloadable guide, Let Me Feel Your Forehead. This resource empowers parents with practical tools to assess and manage everyday childhood illnesses confidently at home, reducing unnecessary panic and medical visits. As always, Beth’s expertise goes beyond midwifery—she equips families with generational wisdom that strengthens not just parents, but entire communities. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the constant stretching of parenthood, this episode is a must-listen. This conversation is an encouragement to all mothers: you are braver than you think, and the work you do matters more than you know.
This one has a few sound issues :). Thank you for your grace as we tried something new!!
