Motherbirth and my Matrescence

Eighteen years ago, sweaty and exhausted after 41 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing, Nehama’s wet, slippery body collapsed onto my warm, trembling chest.

I had made it. I was a mother!

After 11 years of attending births, I was humbled to my core, finally on the other side of the equation. I had witnessed birth as a fierce initiation where women met their demons and slayed them at the Gate of Holy Terror and Humility (as we midwives say). But until that moment, I had never been there myself.

Nehama’s birth cracked me wide open.

So grateful for my spicy Leo…

As I was driving Amaya to her homeschool coop yesterday we were listening to NPR. They were talking about Trumps executive orders and I made some comment about what kind of person he was. Amaya asked why he was like that so I explained to her in 8yearold terms what asylum was and how Trump was taking that right away from immigrants who are in danger in their home countries. This was the conversation that ensued:

Amaya “I wish we could get a very hungry shark and put Trump in the water with him.”

This brought me a chuckle. I then told her what Trump was doing to the Earth. Then she said:

“ I want to make a big sign that says Trump sucks.”

Me: “ oh yeah. Where would you put it?”

Amaya: “ in front of our house.”

Then she said : “ and I wish we could call the police and get him put in jail.”

Then I had to explain that unfortunately a lot of the policemen are on his side and that we’ve tried to get him arrested many times for crimes that he’s committed but we’ve been unsuccessful in putting him to jail.

That gave her a lot to process lol

Did you know 94% of moms report some degree of burnout? 41% report anxiety or depression.

These are huge numbers and come from the State of Motherhood survey 2024 by Motherly.

These experiences are so universal that we are beginning to think they are normal. But we were never meant to experience motherhood as burnout or depression. We were never meant to parents alone. It’s not your fault. The system is stacked against us.

I can help. I am doing a 5-day miniseries, Mama Thrive in 2025, starting on January 30th. This high value series will bring BIG results with minimal time commitment.

It’s important and empowering to make this distinction and in doing so our mother work — the actual doing work of mothering (the caretaking and nurturing) - can become an site of resistance to the white supremacist, patriarchal institution of motherhood, which has us running ourselves ragged trying to become (the impossible) idealized mother.

The perfect mother myth is just that, a myth. There is no attaining it because it is not human.

Memories… was just talking about labyrinth today with a group of Mennonites. I took them out to the labyrinth here on The Farm so they could walk it.
