39. Healing Our Mothers & Ourselves Through Wellness

Today, in 2021, mothers still struggle to prioritize wellness in their motherhood - and majority of the time, it is not the mothers' fault. Society has made it excruciatingly hard to incorporate wellness into the lives of women, therefor it is important to also take into consideration how hard it was for our own mothers and grandmothers who were parenting during a time that was even more relentless towards women and motherhood. For them, it couldn’t always be about wellness. Most of the time it was about survival. In this episode, I take the time to quickly analyze motherhood in the past, and explain how we now have the opportunities to redefine what motherhood can look like in todays day and age - and it is time we take advantage of it.
