 Motherhood: Facing and Finding Yourself - Lisa Marchiano

Motherhood: Facing and Finding Yourself - Lisa Marchiano

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:


https://amzn.to/3tVQWo3


Follow / message Lisa here:

https://www.instagram.com/lisamarchiano/?hl=en


"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."
