By Danusia Malina-Derben

Unpacking creativity and individuality in amongst the BOND of mothering. My guest today is published poet, sound artist, and creative alchemist, Elana Bell. This soulful + down-to-earth episode explores:

The world of mother-daughter bonds Making space for creativity within motherhood Rhythms of life as a mother and the deep interiors of women’s lives Depression and PPD

Elana shares on the experience of supporting her mother’s depression and how that helped their relationship and seeing the individuality of her mother and herself. One of my fave parts of this episode is when Elana tells the story of how her mother encouraged her to be the fullest expression of herself.
