Meet Dr. Rose Asgharzadeh, an inspiring, thoughtful and incredibly deep thinker. Rose is an Assistant Professor at Mount Royal University, a mother of a university student, and recent newcomer to Canada from Iran. 

Rose shares about her Iranian heritage through her art, describing how the symbol of the mandala aligns so beautifully with the experience of being a working mother. She describes her experience of creating the colours we see in the piece and how their creation is yet another parallel with motherhood. 

Rose believes that motherhood is about GROWTH - she shares a beautiful acrostic poem describing her beliefs of motherhood to inspires other mothers as they move through their journey. Personally, we love 'W', where Rose encourages mothers to 'Water their own garden'. She reminds us that we only have 24 hours in a day and "how important it is to plan for it, every single hour."

We hope you enjoy this podcast as much as we did. Thank you, Rose.
