In this third "Conversations with Carly" episode, host Margaret Jacobson, The Mother Rising, sits down once again with her daughter, Carly Schultz, for a deeply honest and refreshingly playful mother–daughter conversation about womanhood, women's health, creativity, and coming home to your own rhythm. Together, they trace the creation of Carly's powerful fiber arts project, Mother of Pearl—a ceremonial garment that unexpectedly evolved into a celebration of the menstrual cycle, interconnection, and the red tent lineage of women gathering in sisterhood.

From surrendering rigid schedules and productivity pressure to re-learning how to trust sleep, rest, and nervous system regulation, Carly shares how a semester that felt chaotic on the surface actually initiated her into a softer, more feminine, intuitive way of living. She also opens up about relationships, political and spiritual differences, and what it really means to be loved and accepted as you are. Along the way, Margaret weaves in wisdom about the upcoming Year of the Fire Horse, the importance of grounding, and how these themes tie into each woman's unique health creation journey and sovereign health choices.

Come for the fashion design student stories, fiber arts fun, and star-walker dreams; stay for a real-time exploration of sovereignty, cycles, feminine energy, and the tender, powerful bond between mother and daughter.
