An insightful conversation with author of Motherhood: Facing and Finding Yourself Lisa Marchiano. A book that personally helped me making meaning of the experience of motherhood.
You can buy her book here:

"Motherhood is the true hero's journey—which is to say that it can be as harrowing as it is joyful, and enlightening as it is exhausting. For Jungian psychoanalyst Lisa Marchiano, this journey is not just an adventure of diaper bags and parent-teacher conferences, but one of intense self-discovery."

Carly shares her pregnancy journey: guilt with conceiving after fertility struggles, navigating the maternity system, advocating for herself and a birth that didn't go "as planned" but was still empowering. "I felt exhausted, relieved, ecstatic, in love, so proud, but bitterly disappointed. Do I regret having a birth plan? HELL NO! Do I regret consuming ALL the positive birth stories? Not one bit! Did I feel like a badass having done so much preparation and feeling so ready to navigate a system that I do not believe has my back? Absolutely!"
