30: MYTH OF MOTHERHOOD
October 25, 2021
This week we dive deep into the meaning of the word myth. How it relates to motherhood, religion, and mythology. And how all of it is kind of really cult-y.
A myth, by definition, is an explanation for something inexplicable or an agreed upon truth to explain something that didn’t really happen.
It’s a lie.
And I feel like we were handed a big sack of lies on what motherhood would look like. And while it may have been a lie by omission, it’s still a lie.
And I’m all about the truth! So we are busting myths and taking names.
Motherhood is like opening Pandora’s Box and getting kicked out of the Garden of Eve. A woman with knowledge is powerful. And everyone knows it.
So let’s crack open our boxes and see what happens! (See what I did there?)
