16: Mothering the Mother: Honoring our Grief with Kelle Myers

Grief and motherhood are closely related. One mother may grieve the relationship she had with her partner before kids, another may be grieving a miscarriage, another the loss of her identity before kids. Motherhood is a profound transformation, yet we rarely honor the grief, and healing that come with it. Our guest Kellee Meyers shares about a ceremony for mother's that she did after her C-section births that helped her grieve and heal. The Closing the Bones ceremony is a four-hour, deeply nourishing ritual that can help any of you mother's out there process birth experiences, losses, and personal evolutions. (It doesn't matter if you had your kid 15 years ago or 3 months ago). We talk about why so many mothers feel unseen in their struggles and how ritual can provide the witnessing and support they desperately need.Kellee describes the power of being held both physically and emotionally, by a trusted group of women, the importance of acknowledging grief, and why receiving care is essential, not selfish. Whether you’re newly postpartum or years into your journey, this episode may be a helpful reminder that your experiences deserve to be honored. It just might change the way you think about healing in motherhood.Connect w/ Kellee: Website: wildtransformations.com IG and FB: @wildtransformations. Sign up for her monthly newsletter filled with raw, real reflections on motherhood.Please leave us a review or rating!
