130. (S8E14) Finding Deeper Value Without (and Within) Motherhood with Erin Lane

<p>Today we’re going to talk about motherhood like you’ve never heard it before. I have five grown children and two grandchildren (with another on the way), and have been deeply invested in the wellbeing of mothers and motherhood for decades. It feels as if there’s little left to learn in that space for me. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Erin Lane’s book, Someone Other Than a Mother: Flipping the Scripts on a Woman’s Purpose and Making Meaning Beyond Motherhood, and felt the full richness of myself as a woman, a mother, and a human. This conversation is going to deepen and enrich your sense of womanhood in ways you could not have imagined.</p><p><strong>You can download show notes for the podcast here: </strong><a href="http://blog.bravewriter.com/category/podcasts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://blog.bravewriter.com/category/podcasts/</a></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><ul><li>Erin's website is: <a href="https://www.erinslane.com/books" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">erinslane.com</a></li><li>Her Instagram is <a href="http://@heyerinlane" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@heyerinlane</a></li><li>Order her book: <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/659757/someone-other-than-a-mother-by-erin-s-lane/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Someone Other Than a Mother by Erin S.
