34. The Value Of Motherhood And Why So Many Women Find Their True Calling In Their 40s And 50s | w/ Eve Gaines, Founder Of Rituel How I Met Myself

    • Self-Improvement

Ceremonialist, anthropologist, mother of two and founder of Rituel, Eve Gaines, joins Jessica on the podcast this week to talk about motherhood and the lost art of ritual. During this profound conversation, Jessica and Eve discuss why we need to place more value on motherhood and how, contrary to what patriarchal society tells us, motherhood actually serves women in achieving their dreams and stepping into leadership roles outside of the home.



Eve and Jessica share some of the preconceived notions that they had going into motherhood and how their experiences proved to be the complete opposite of what they expected.



In this episode, you will learn about:


The wisdom years when our disparate life experiences begin to synthesize


Why so many women find their true calling in their 40s and 50s




The skills, perspective and wisdom we gain in motherhood

How motherhood helps us meet our own mothers with greater understanding and compassion


Why having a career portfolio vs. a career path allows for more creativity, depth and personal expansion


How to honor and prepare for the transition from maiden to mother and how to think about it differently if it’s your first born vs. adding another child to your family


The importance of building your soul team to support you in motherhood 


How to incorporate ritual order to live with greater presence and intention
