To Take Care of the World
Join us for an honest chat with Jackie Schoemaker Holmes, PhD. A woman, mother, sociologist, poet and empowerment specialist.
We talk about her own journey into motherhood and how her experience with post partum depression and anxiety birthed a business and community in which she has the opportunity to meaningfully support and empower women.
We talk about the complexities of being a woman, the experiences and emotions that can show up throughout the journey of motherhood, and the the impact motherhood can have on our identity. Jackie talks about shame and judgement and how motherhood can easily get tangled up with both. Jackie says, “no one can define what it means to be a mother for me, and since I made that decision, I have never felt more empowered.”
This episode spoke to each of us as women, though our experiences and stages of life are different - a truly vulnerable chat. We hope it will do the same for you, regardless of the perspectives you bring to the conversation
