‘Seek and practice informed choice’



Jane Bennett





Jane Bennett joins us to talk about her co-authored book The Pill; Are You Sure It’s For You? 



Jane talks us through;



* What the Pill actually does* The natural alternatives we have available.* The many myths concerning the pill, other contraceptives, fertility awareness, women’s’ bodies and cycles!



It was fantastic to talk to Jane as she explained natural contraception in such a joyful and easy to understand way!



– About Our Guest –



Jane’s work and contemplation are centred on three main themes: Celebrating Menarche, Menstrual Wellbeing and Holistic Contraception. While these are all part of a natural positive approach to fertility generally it’s these three aspects that have specifically grabbed hold of her.



In writing this book together with Alexandra Pope, they sought to advocate truly informed choice, contraceptive literacy and partners sharing responsibility for their fertility.



The book includes many practical tips about thinking through contraceptive needs and STD protection.

‘One of the many manifestations of the mother wound is the pattern of the “parentified daughter.’
Bethany Webster

A simple definition of a parentified daughter is when a daughter plays the role of mother for her own mother; the roles are reversed.

Often a parentified daughter must grow up very fast and loses the chance to be a child, as she is expected to manage the emotional and/or physical needs of her mother and/or father.’

This is Part 2 of the Healing The Mother Wound series that Bethany and I recorded together.

We discuss Bethany’s article ‘Parentified Daughters as Female Leaders; Keys To Your Emergence‘ how to take steps to heal this and what it can mean for us as we emerge.

I hope it’s useful for you. I’d love to know your thoughts, reflections, insights after reading.

‘What many people do not realise is that the core issue at the center of women’s empowerment is the mother wound’
BETHANY WEBSTER

‘Difficulty and challenges between mothers and daughters are rampant and widespread but not openly spoken about. The taboo about speaking about the pain of the mother wound is what keeps it in place and keeps it hidden in shadow, festering and out of view.’

I found Bethany’s article Parentified Daughters as Female Leaders; Keys To Your Emergence and it immediately struck a chord.

I knew I simply had to speak to Bethany, to thank her, and find out more about her work and share it with as many women as possible.

So here it is; part 1 of a conversation I had with Bethany on Healing The Mother Wound.

Part 2 goes into the Parentified Daughter.

I hope it’s useful for you. I’d love to know your thoughts, reflections, insights after reading.
