About this listen
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.
In Motherhood, Marchiano draws from a deep well of Jungian analysis and symbolic research to present a collection of fairytales, myths, and fables that evoke the spiritual arc of raising a child from infancy through adulthood.
Divided into three major segments similar to the stages of a hero's initiatory journey, (Descent, Sojourn, and Return), Motherhood charts how events like pregnancy, the calamities of childhood, and the empty-nest experience are all parts of an odyssey to which every mother receives an invitation. Here, Marchiano emphasizes that when you take up that invitation, it will lead to an adventure into the wild frontier of your own soul. And once you return from this inner journey, you'll possess the treasured knowledge need to clarify your values, embrace your disowned parts, and claim the mantle of motherhood in the full bloom of your empowerment.

Poignant and beautifully written
A beautifully deep depiction of the myths that echo motherhood. Normalizing in its empathetic insights and enlightening in its clarifying Jungian analysis.

A must-read for every woman - not just mothers.
Jungian analyst Lisa Marchiano explores motherhood, womanhood and femininity through myths, legends, and fairy tales and beautifully illustrates both the sacrifices and gifts of being a woman. My favourite bits were the excellent and extremely helpful journaling prompts at the end of each chapter. I will come back to this book soon.

An real gem of a book
I love how she weaved fairy tales with real life experiences. The use of rich imagery and messages about how motherhood transforms us is effectively and relatable. The narrator is excellent, it is through her voice that the book comes alive.
I will be waiting for her next book.

This audio book was a great resource for me after I had given birth. I listened for hours while breastfeeding and caring for my baby it brought great wisdom to my heart and helped me to process the feelings of moving from maiden to mother
