Mothering the Mother Podcast

Alison Barker
Welcome to Mothering the Mother podcast hosted by Registered Nutritional Therapist, blogger and mother, Alison Barker. Matrescence - the process of becoming a mother, is a deeply transformative experience that is not typically acknowledged as a rite of passage in our western culture. This transformation begins from pre-conception through to the postnatal period, and beyond.  Some think it may last a lifetime. Many mothers long for the village in which to raise their children. In this podcast you will hear from mothers, leading experts and those involved in the field of mother-care and women's wellness. It will be a community to connect with, nourish and support mothers to bring about change mother to mother family to family. For more information you can find Alison at www.alisonbarker.com or on Instagram @alison_barker_ or join the Facebook Group Mothering the Mother.

Episode #71 Intuition vs Fear
This week Alison talks about the difference between intuition and fear. In the current times we are living, there is a lot of noise outside of ourselves - we may not know what is truth. With the current at home we are being asked to go within and sit with ourselves like, perhaps, never before. We have the choice to use this time as an opportunity to grow and evolve - beginning to use our intuitive capabilities is one way we can start to use this to grow.
