A Woman Is... A Mother
Every single person who ever lived, called the womb of a woman their first home.
This episode is the first episode in a new series on motherhood. May is the month we celebrate Mother’s Day and take time to honor mothers. So for the month of May we are doing the same on the podcast. Part of the purpose of this podcast is to highlight what makes women different from men, to honor the uniqueness of the female. One of the most brilliant distinctions is in a woman’s ability to bring forth life, to carry and birth new humans. Every single person who ever lived, called the womb of a woman their first home.
Shayla starts out reading a brief scene from her book. Then over a dozen mothers share a bit of their motherhood journey with us. What motherhood means to them, their favorite part of motherhood and the hardest part. Each one of these women brings so much to the table and to the conversation. There is no one way to mother and as we hear their varying approaches to motherhood... the through-line is that they all love their children fiercely... like a mother.
