Michelle Duncan-Wilson became a mom for the first time at 17 years old. She now has a 17 year old daughter and two sons, ages 8 and 3.

Michelle will tell you she was “not meant to be a mother”. While she is now thriving it took her years to arrive. She had to find her mothering soul and give it some room to grow.

In this episode Michelle shares:

What life was like as a teen mom
How she crammed 40 years of life experience into her first 25 years of life
What she wants her 17 year old daughter to know about being a 17 year old mom
How motherhood has been different, but not easier, in her thirties
Why we are not meant to mold our children, but to accept them in any shape they are
Why mothering pain is not for nothing
How she is currently thriving in “evolution through motherhood”
