22. Maiden to Motherhood: How Culture and Trauma Hold Women back
Kymber examines the cultural fixation on the “maiden phase” — youth, freedom, self-focus — and how trauma, capitalism and modern beauty standards keep many women stuck there far longer than nature intended.
Today on Nourishing Our Sanity:
- Trauma patterns in women that prolong the maiden phase
- How our culture profits from the maiden identity
- The loss of value placed on motherhood and maturity
- A grounded look at preparing for motherhood
