Episode #57 Identity transformation as a Mother

This episode asks you to look at the WHOLE you including your desires, passions and dreams, and how well you know yourself and respect yourself. This journey of discovery is so important to explore as you can’t give to your kids what you don’t give to yourself. Alison talks about the caterpillar metaphor to describe your changing self through giving birth to your new self. It is a messy yet beautiful journey of transformation.

Welcome to Mothering the Mother podcast hosted by Registered Nutritional Therapist, blogger and mother, Alison Barker. Matrescence - the process of becoming a mother, is a deeply transformative experience that is not typically acknowledged as a rite of passage in our western culture. This transformation begins from pre-conception through to the postnatal period, and beyond.  Some think it may last a lifetime. Many mothers long for the village in which to raise their children. In this podcast you will hear from mothers, leading experts and those involved in the field of mother-care and women's wellness. It will be a community to connect with, nourish and support mothers to bring about change mother to mother family to family.
