EP 50: Embracing The Mother Body with Bergen Hyde

This episode with Bergen Hyde, The Dark Night Doula, is so powerful as we explore in-depth the journey of maiden to mother through the lens of our ever-changing bodies.   Here's what we discuss: Bergen's journey into motherhood that she felt was lacking in true initiation and how that impacted her experience through birth and actually becoming a mom How she's learned to naturally navigate "Dark Night of the Soul" experiences in her life  The spectrum of martyr to warrior that many women find themselves in as they try to please society How women begin to disassociate from their bodies as they age or go through other transformational phases like motherhood How when women are focused on their appearance and staying young they end of ignoring their own maturation process Our bodies as a portal into what really matters Our cultures inability to be with death and grief and how that shows up in our resistance to aging and changing Bergen's powerful ritual that allowed her recognize herself again and begin to redefine what it means to be a woman on her own terms   Learn more about Bergen and her work here:
