Nazli openly shares her story of motherhood, the trauma she endured from her cesareans with the births of boys, and grief of her miscarriages. As a linguist, Nazli and Michelle reflect upon how the language and culture around women's bodies strip women of their power creating the guilt, shame, self-blame, silencing and the accompanying loneliness that so many women experience. Together they discuss transformative power and the personal nature of birth, loss, motherhood, and the exploration of our emotions as women. 

"How am I going to focus in the moment and be positive and meditative about, "Oh, life is so good. The sky is blue...?" When a mother goes through intense episodes of feeling grief, the feelings of grief, even the sky can make her weep. Even the trees can make her weep."—Nazli
