Together, they dive into:

• Healing the matrilineal line and becoming the matriarch you’ve been searching for
• Physiologic birth and community-centered support
• Shifting from conventional to conscious motherhood
• How to uncover your true desires beneath cultural conditioning
• The evolution of mothering from survival to self-mastery
• Why preparing for motherhood starts with inner work, identity, and nervous system regulation
• Reclaiming ancestral wisdom, creative energy, and the sacred role of women in birth and beyond
• The importance of community, energetics, embodiment, and calibration in early motherhood

🎧 Tune in for an honest, unfiltered look at how we reclaim birth, motherhood, and womanhood—by trusting ourselves, our bodies, and our lineage.

What happens when becoming a mother doesn’t feel like a calling—but a collapse?

In this raw and revelatory episode, Beth Moore sits down with transformational coach and artist Pearl Frank to unpack the truth behind an unplanned pregnancy, the emotional spiral that followed, and the profound journey toward healing and reconnection. Pearl opens up about resisting motherhood, navigating depression and bulimia during pregnancy, and the moment she finally said out loud: “I didn’t want to be a mother.” That confession cracked everything open—and began her return to self, love, and presence with her child.

This conversation is not about parenting advice. It’s about identity death, emotional honesty, and the deep, spiritual transformation that can follow the hardest truths we’re willing to face.

🎧 What We Talk About in This Episode:

• The emotional rupture of an unplanned pregnancy
• Depression, denial, and detachment in early motherhood
• The spiritual and psychological turning point that changed everything
• Tools for emotional release, radical self-compassion, and reconnection
• Why motherhood is a rite of passage, not a role
