<p>After months away, Laura returns to share an honest reflection on a turbulent first half of 2026; six months in Bali, the pull between her son's need for his father and her own longing for community, and the moment she finally chose to stop moving and put down roots in Thailand. A tender episode about support, surrender, and answering the call when another mother needs you. </p><p><br /></p><p>I’d love to hear from you—how are these episodes landing with you?

<p><br /></p><p>In this powerful and far-reaching conversation, Laura is joined by grandmother, former homebirth midwife, author and founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft, <strong>Jane Hardwicke Collings</strong>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Together they move through the full arc of a woman’s life — from menarche to motherhood, from menopause into what Jane calls <strong>SageEssence</strong> — reclaiming the seasonal map of maiden, mother, mage and crone. Jane speaks to the profound impact of rites of passage, how our first bleed shapes our births, and how unhealed maiden trauma echoes through pregnancy, labour and beyond.</p><p><br /></p><p>They explore menstrual shame as a foundational structure of patriarchy, the importance of welcoming girls consciously into womanhood, and the radical act of returning menstrual blood to the earth as ritual and prayer. Jane shares the wisdom of cyclical intelligence, body literacy, and the power of living in rhythm rather than constant productivity.</p><p><br /></p><p>The conversation also turns courageously towards <strong>raising boys in the modern world</strong> — navigating screen culture, early exposure to pornography, emotional suppression, and the responsibility of mothers to raise embodied, sensitive men. Jane speaks honestly about the addictive architecture of the porn industry, the neurological impact of screens, and the importance of nature, sport, responsibility and modelling healthy feminine embodiment at home.</p><p><br /></p><p>They unpack the confusion surrounding perimenopause, the medicalisation of menopause, and the often-overlooked reality of <strong>postnatal depletion</strong>, particularly for women who birth later in life. Jane reframes menopause not as decline, but as initiation — a harvest season shaped by how we have lived so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a conversation about remembering — restoring ritual, protecting innocence, reclaiming cyclical wisdom, and honouring the sacred architecture of a woman’s life.</p><p><br /></p><p>Topics Covered</p><p>🩸 The four seasons of a woman’s life: maiden, mother, mage and crone<br />🩸 Menarche, menstrual shame and cultural imprinting<br />🩸 How rites of passage shape birth and motherhood<br />🩸 Ecstatic birth and surrender as initiation<br />🩸 Returning menstrual blood to the earth as ritual<br />🩸 Living cyclically and developing body literacy<br />🩸 SageEssence and reframing menopause as harvest<br />🩸 Postnatal depletion and hormonal transitions after breastfeeding<br />🩸 Raising boys in the age of screens and pornography<br />🩸 Emotional literacy, sensitivity and modelling embodied femininity<br />🩸 The wounded feminine and masculine within patriarchy</p><p><br /></p><p>Teachers, Lineages & Books Mentioned</p><p>Lineage of Jeannine Parvati Baker</p><p>Raising Boys – Steve Biddulph<br />The Postnatal Depletion Cure – Dr Oscar Serrallach</p><p><br /></p><p>Connect with Jane</p><p>The WomanCraft Way:<br /><a href="https://thewomancraftway.framer.website/?__s=sh8q9a7kjft8bhvm02h3" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://thewomancraftway.framer.website/?__s=sh8q9a7kjft8bhvm02h3</a></p><p>School of Shamanic Womancraft:<br /><a href="https://janehardwickecollings.com/shamanic-womancraft/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://janehardwickecollings.com/shamanic-womancraft/</a></p><p>Instagram:<br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/janehardwickecollings/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/janehardwickecollings/</a></p><p>Spinning Wheels App </p><p><br /></p><p>You can follow my musings on motherhood on Substack <a href="https://substack.com/@embodiedmothermusings" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>. </p><p>Find me on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lauraguinnane" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Support the Podcast</strong></p><p>Please leave a 5 star review, share your thoughts, or reach out to me.
