New episode of She Thrives on the topic of parenting.
Regardless if you are already a mom of 3 or only planning to conceive. As soon as you are aspiring to become a parent - the work begins.
And I feel that this episode just has to be released now, while I am at home, in Belarus, spending time with my mom.
As I am drinking tea with her, flipping through old photos and asking her questions about her life, I am reminded how interconnected everything is. Parts of my personality have been largely defined by my parents and their upbringing. Their childhood (family dynamics, and overall cultural, societal context) influenced their lives which then influenced my own childhood. A lot of influence was intentional. And a lot of it was unintentional.
As I listen to my mom, I also hold my own daughter. A lot of her future is being written already now. In fact even earlier. When I was only trying to conceive.
What does it have to do with women’s health? Because a lot of this is linked with mental health of a woman, who will become a mother. Again – everything is connected. Nothing is separate. I hope you ll enjoy this conversation and check what Maria is up to when she is on a mission to redefine the way many of us approach parenting.
