    36. The Initiation Into Motherhood: There’s No Going Back. Only Progress And Evolution

    In this episode, Jessica explores the concept of initiation - a major transformation that occurs when we experience radical change. She focuses specifically on the initiation into motherhood, discussing the changes that occur in pregnancy and how these help women integrate important lessons that will serve them in motherhood.  Although our culture tends to demonize the physical changes that come with pregnancy and puts pressure on women to prove that they haven’t changed, Jessica explains that there really is no “going back” nor is that desirable because of the immense growth that occurs in motherhood. What you’ll learn in the episode: The basics of an initiation and what happens in the psyche during an initiatory process Why the physical and non-physical changes experienced during pregnancy are opportunities for personal growth How motherhood softens us to the feminine and helps us strengthen qualities like creativity, acceptance, and intuition Through personal anecdotes and insightful reflections, Jessica illuminates the transformative power embedded within the journey of motherhood, inviting listeners to embrace it as a pathway to personal growth and empowerment.
