Written By Ember29 (Sophie)

Back from her trip to Puerto Rico, Gervase shares the impact of our cultural conditioning around motherhood, the stories its led us to tell ourselves, and why leaving martyrdom motherhood in the past will help you not only keep your sanity but leave a legacy for your children that you’ll be proud of. Join the discussion as she dives deeper than the “take care of yourself” platitudes, addressing the symptoms of internalized patriarchy, why there’s no shame in taking a break, and how accepting our multi-dimensionality as women and mothers can leave a lasting imprint on our children.
