The Re-Imagining Motherhood Podcast
If becoming a Mother (aka matrescence) is an invitation to expand, then why does it feel so restrictive at times? It's "supposed" to be hard, as is any life transition...but "this" hard? This hard is patriarchal Motherhood hard and we NEED to talk about it.
So much of Motherhood feels like a "me problem" when in reality, it is much more of a "we problem". If you've been wondering why Motherhood feels so hard, let this podcast be the validation you need that there isn't anything wrong with you...burnout, depletion, overwhelm etc. are all potential symptoms of being a Mother within patriarchal Motherhood. It's time to stop pathologizing so much of Motherhood and give Mothers the words they need to describe their experiences.
For if Motherhood is oppressive (Rich), then mothering can be empowering.
Join Chelsea Robinson, licensed clinical social worker and founder of Mama's Modern Village, as she has crucial conversations that bridge together the researchers, scholars, changemakers and thoughtleaders in the Motherhood space with Mothers and those that support them, personally and professionally.
Let these episodes be your weekly dose of hope, inspiration and motivation that you need to keep Re-Imagining Motherhood for yourself (and for Mothers everywhere).
