   I AM MOTHER — chapter 4: Motherhood as Culture-Making with Karine Ricard

   What if the way we mother is also one of the ways we shape the future? In this final episode of I Am Mother, I’m joined by Karine Ricard—a mother of three, storyteller, facilitator, and lifelong student of what makes life feel truly alive. Through her work with Mother the Future, Karine creates spaces where women can reconnect with their hearts, voices, magic, and the living world. Her work weaves astrology, human design, ancestral connection, ceremony, and embodied practices into the many transitions of womanhood and motherhood. We went deep into the energetics of motherhood, beginning with the unique energy surrounding each of Karine’s daughters’ births and how those energies have continued to show up in who they are. We talked about Human Design, astrology, and the ways Karine creates space for each of her children (and herself) to be fully themselves. We also explored what it means to consciously create a home culture—one that can hold different personalities, emotions, perspectives, and the outside influences our children inevitably bring home as they grow. And we talked about something so central to sustainable motherhood: the mother’s capacity to come back to herself. To tend to our own regulation, make space for joy and aliveness, and care for ourselves so we can meet our children from a more resourced place. Ultimately, this conversation became an exploration of what it looks like to mother beyond the expectations we inherited—and why the culture we create inside our homes matters far beyond our own families. In this episode, we explore: * The energetics of birth and motherhood * How the energy of each child can reveal something about who they are * Using Human Design and astrology to understand our children * Creating different kinds of space for different children * Motherhood, emotional regulation, and tending to our own capacity * Reconnecting with joy, play, and aliveness * The expectations we inherit around motherhood * Creating a home culture that can hold difference and outside influences * How the culture we create in our homes can ripple out into the world A beautiful conversation to close this series—and an invitation to ask: What kind of culture are you creating in your home? links & resources: * Connect with Karine on Instagram: @motherthefuture (https://www.instagram.com/motherthefuture?stkn=ZThoYnZ1NjRqZGls) * Connect with Karine on Substack: Karine Isabelle Ricard (https://substack.com/profile/100528151-karine-isabelle-ricard) * Connect with Karine on her podcast: Mother The Future (https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/mother-the-future/id1732554060) * Connect with Erin on (https://www.instagram.com/wildwitherin/?igsh=c2hjZ24xdWNpYXh4)Instagram: @wildwitherin (https://www.instagram.com/wildwitherin/?igsh=c2hjZ24xdWNpYXh4) * Explore (http://www.erinmarguerite.com/)Erin’s Website (http://www.erinmarguerite.com/) This is a public episode.

   I AM MOTHER — chapter 3: When Motherhood Asks You To Become Again with Mary Perry

   What happens when the life you’ve carefully built no longer fits the person you’re becoming? In this episode, I’m joined by a mother of two who is still figuring it out, Mary Perry — navigating matrescence, identity, work, family, and what it means to show up for herself while constantly shifting through the seasons of motherhood. We go deep into the identity journey that began with pregnancy and how becoming a mother invited her into a much softer, slower, more yin version of herself. As someone who had been deeply immersed in yoga — practicing regularly, teaching often, and living a highly structured life that felt entirely her own — pregnancy and motherhood asked her to release a lot of that control and crack open to a completely new way of being. We talk about the physical realities of pregnancy, including health conditions that changed how she was able to move through her first pregnancy, and the unexpected ways those experiences shaped her relationship with her body and her yoga practice. We also get into the tension between being a holistic-minded person while choosing interventions like epidurals, and the reminder that there is no one “right” way to move through birth. And then, we tell the birth stories. She walks us through both of her births — two very different experiences — and the choices, circumstances, emotions, and expectations that surrounded each one. We also talk about returning to corporate life after having both of her kids, what it feels like to hold motherhood alongside a professional identity, and how she’s continuing to figure out who she is within all of these roles. This conversation is an honest look at the constant shifting of motherhood — the identities we shed, the ones we discover, and the parts of ourselves we’re learning to carry forward. In this episode, we talk about: * The identity shift that happens through pregnancy and matrescence * Moving from a highly structured, scheduled life into the unpredictability of motherhood * What it meant to step into a more yin energy during pregnancy and beyond * How pregnancy health conditions changed her relationship with movement and yoga * The evolution of her yoga practice through motherhood * Holding holistic beliefs while also making choices like getting an epidural * The reality of having very different birth experiences * A breakdown of both of her birth stories * Letting go of the idea that there is one “right” way to birth or parent * Returning to work after having children * Navigating the corporate world while also navigating motherhood * The tension between who you were before children and who you’re becoming * Learning what your body, family, and life actually need in each season * Protecting your children’s privacy and reconsidering what gets shared online * The ongoing process of figuring out how to show up for yourself, your family, your friendships, and your career This episode is a reminder that motherhood doesn’t just add another role to who you are — sometimes, it completely changes the way you understand yourself and what you prioritize. links & resources: * Connect with Mary on (https://www.instagram.com/maryiswilde/)Instagram: @maryiswilde (https://www.instagram.com/maryiswilde/) * Connect with Erin on (https://www.instagram.com/wildwitherin/?igsh=c2hjZ24xdWNpYXh4)Instagram: @wildwitherin (https://www.instagram.com/wildwitherin/?igsh=c2hjZ24xdWNpYXh4) * Explore (http://www.erinmarguerite.com/)Erin’s Website (http://www.erinmarguerite.com/) This is a public episode.

   I AM MOTHER — chapter 2: The Woman Beneath the Mother an Initiation with Nicole Jones

   In this deeply intimate episode of I Am Mother, we sit with Nicole Jones — mama, guide, ceremonialist, and Maven at Maman Cacao — to explore the many layers of what it means to become a mother. Nicole has spent more than 20 years immersed in the wellness world, but it was her own experiences, initiations, and seasons of being brought to her knees that ultimately shaped the path she walks today. Her journey through healing, ritual, plant medicine and sacred Cacao became part of a much deeper relationship with herself — and, in many ways, a preparation for the profound initiation of motherhood. Together, we move beyond the polished image of what motherhood is “supposed” to look like and into the truth of what it can actually ask of us. Nicole opens up about the very different experiences of birth she and her wife had, the physical and emotional realities of postpartum, and the identity shifts that come with becoming a mother. We explore what happens when the person you were before motherhood begins to transform — and how much of motherhood is actually a process of being reborn yourself. The conversation moves into the importance of having a village, especially in a time when many mothers are expected to do so much without the support of a true community. Nicole shares what it has meant to mother two children, trust her intuition, and navigate the wildness, beauty, exhaustion and surrender that comes with it. We also explore the deeper layers beneath motherhood: ancestral healing, breaking cycles, reconnecting with ritual, and creating space for yourself even in the most demanding seasons of caring for others. This is a conversation about birth — but not only the birth of babies. It is about the birth of a mother. And the woman she continues to become. In this episode, we talk about: • The initiation of becoming a mother• The realities and nuances of pregnancy, birth and postpartum• Nicole and her wife’s individual birth experiences• The identity shift that happens when we become mothers• Motherhood as a process of rebirth• Learning to trust intuition and mother from within• The importance — and absence — of a true village• Becoming a mother of two and the wildness of it all• Ancestral healing and breaking generational patterns• How motherhood can bring us into deeper relationship with ourselves• Ritual, sacred Cacao and creating moments of connection• Finding space for yourself while mothering others• The intertwining paths of healing, career and motherhood• Surrendering to what is rather than trying to control what motherhood “should” be Nicole’s story is a beautiful reminder that motherhood doesn’t simply add another role to our identity. Sometimes, it asks us to release the woman we thought we were becoming so we can meet the woman who is waiting underneath it all. links & resources: * Connect with Nicole on Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/honouryourgoldprint/) @honouryourgoldprint (https://www.instagram.com/honouryourgoldprint/) * Connect with MamanCacao on (https://www.instagram.com/maman.cacao/)Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/maman.cacao/) @maman.cacao (https://www.instagram.com/maman.cacao/) * Explore (https://honouryourgoldprint.com/)Nicole’s Website (https://honouryourgoldprint.com/) (https://honouryourgoldprint.com/) * Connect with Erin on Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/wildwitherin/) @ownyourwild (https://www.instagram.com/wildwitherin/) * Explore (http://www.erinmarguerite.com)Erin’s Website (http://www.erinmarguerite.com) This is a public episode.
