From the Heart with Rachel Brathen

I always look forward to Fridays to listen to a new episode. It’s chatty and really makes you think all at the same time. Been listening since day 1 and still loving it!

Rachel, your story and sharing of your life after baby #2 is so admirable. I love the way you are cherishing each moment of life. I’m 57, sons are 25 &23 and I, too, cherished every age and stage, no matter how difficult it can be at times! You pod this week really brought me back to that time in my motherhood. Love it!

Rachael, your podcast is true and real. Todays episode on “Does it take a village to raise a child” spoke to my soul. You brought into existence the experience I felt with my son. There is so much expected of women and mothers in our society. How do we care for ourselves while carrying by so much? Starting with the question helps us all. May the next generation of mothers have a different experience. May they be supported to care for their children because they are cared for deeply by the people around them in helpful ways. May it be available to all women regardless of family situation or income. May our babies have the gift of mothers who are cared for. Thank you for your words and thoughts…you are exactly who the world needs exactly as you are.

Love listening to Rachel’s stories about her life. Storytelling is such a talent and I think that it’s very important. Thank you for sharing with us Rachel 💛
