Woman Awake Ep 084 - The unseen & invisible woman: a spotlight on identity loss in motherhood

Woman Awake - The Soul-led Journey of Awakening Through Womandhood and Motherhood

Let's shine a spotlight on something that so many of us mothers experience and feel, yet often don't discuss. Worse still, many of us are totally unprepared for. That is, the life-changing experience of identity loss that happens (for many of us women) when we become mothers. Depending on our level of support - the tribe we have around us, the systems and scaffolds in place to uphold us - and of course the greater societal constructs and stories in our culture, many of us go through a period where we are stripped bare of who we once were, what we once did, what we look like, what we embody and how 'seen' we are in the world. We carry a baby and birth it. Overnight our entire world is centred on this child - as it should be. And because of where we place "MOTHER" on the list of important "JOBS" these women often find themselves, quite surprisingly, in an unseen, invisible state. No longer "seen" and valued for anything other than how well she is raising and nurturing the baby. She is no longer valued for the work she does in the world or the money she makes. Her contribution, again, "reduced to rearing children". Which, if you ask me is the most valuable of work and yet the world doesn't place this on the highest of pedestals, as it should be. She is now invisible. Often alone. Often tending to the child's needs alone for most of the day. Tune in to hear more on this powerful and important acknowledgment of a very common and unspoken experience for woman as they become mothers. SHOW NOTES: 1.
