In today's episode -  Part 1 in the series on A Birth of a Mother -  we delve into the ever-evolving concept of motherhood. Join us as we tap into both Western and Eastern viewpoints. From ancient civilizations to modern societies, the role of mothers has been a cornerstone of human existence, shaping families, communities, and cultures in profound ways. We know that motherhood can be perceived and valued differently across various cultures, shaped by traditions, beliefs, and societal norms. 

What insights can we gain from exploring these diverse perspectives?

What does it truly mean to be a mother? 

And how has society's perception of motherhood evolved over the years? 

The journey to motherhood encompasses far more than just the physical act of giving birth. From societal expectations, to cultural beliefs, from intergenerational patterns to the depths of our own unconscious, the tapestry of influences woven into the fabric of motherhood is profound.
