In our last regular episode of Season 1, Barbara Mahany joins us to discuss motherhood as spiritual practice. Barbara is the author of several books, including Motherprayer, and she explores in her writing how parenting is an invitation into a holy curriculum. As she says, "no other spiritual practice could compel me in this way. Motherhood is so raw, real, and uncharted." We talk about what we have learned through our mothering, and how writing about our lives as mothers has helped us to open up to the holy potential of this role.
