Teresa Palmer, being. with Lael Stone | Born for the Role ♥︎

S02 E22 Teresa Palmer has five children, a two-decade film career, a podcast, a supplement brand, and at the time of recording, she was filming God of War in Vancouver - playing the goddess of fertility, which feels exactly right. Through all of it, she’s doing the same quiet work the rest of us are: healing the little parts of herself that didn't get what they needed, so she can show up with her heart forward for the people she loves most. In this chat, we talk about birth and all its complexities, we talk about parts work and reparenting, and what it takes to meet your children's big feelings when your own inner child is still waiting to be seen. And we talk about spirituality - how Teresa moved from thirteen years of Catholic school to building her own quiet relationship with something she cannot name, but absolutely feels. We explore: • The story Teresa told herself for twelve years about not needing help - and what finally shifted at 40 • How reading Ina May Gaskin's Spiritual Midwifery changed everything • The surprising parallel between surrendering in birth and surrendering on a film set • Parts work – how Teresa tends to the younger versions of herself that still need nurturing Teresa says something so beautiful… that home "is each other. Not a place, not a house in Byron Bay or Vancouver or Adelaide. Each other". Teresa reminded me that what shapes us most is who we keep choosing to come home to.
