    EP6 - From Mummy Meltdown to Mothers' Medicine: Awakening My Power Through Motherhood

    In this episode, I share my personal journey of motherhood and spirituality. I emphasise the importance of reconnecting with oneself and remembering who you are as a mother. I discuss the challenges of societal expectations and the lack of support for mothers in Western cultures. I highlight the role of spirituality in finding self-worth and purpose, and share my own experience with astrology, numerology, and psychic practices. I also emphasis the power of community and the importance of women supporting and learning from each other.   Takeaways: Motherhood and spirituality are intertwined, and becoming a mother can be a transformative experience that helps women remember who they are. Societal expectations and lack of support for mothers can lead to feelings of isolation, low self-worth, and mental health challenges.

Exploring astrology, numerology, and psychic practices can provide insights into one's authentic self and purpose. Practicing spirituality within a community of women can be empowering and supportive.
