The Opening of the Heart

MotherSpeak with Carina Devi

Weepiness and unrestrained emotional sensitivity are hallmarks of pregnancy and early postpartum.
In this episode, we explore what's behind this vulnerability, the purpose it serves at different stages of mothering, and how we can embrace it as a feminine gift, rather than viewing it as an uncomfortable inconvenience.
In this episode you'll hear:
00:00 - The opening of the heart
03:55 - Why parenting requires an open heart
05:17 - Each stage prepares us for the next
05:51 - Learning boundaries in pregnancy
09:39 - The courage to choose motherhood again
11:56 - The unrestrained vulnerability of early motherhood
14:14 - The depth of the heart as a feminine gift
15:51 - Is baby blues really an opening of the heart?
20:11 - Postpartum depression reveals that which needs our attention
21:33 - Mothering in the absence of the village
24:12 - Letting yourself open
24:56 - Motherhood as an accelerated spiritual path
25:52 -Our new podcast name and intention
