In this episode, I sit down with Tammy Peterson, a mother, matriarch, and host of her own podcast, where she is on a mission to help women find their path. Together, we discuss the profound emotional and societal challenges women face as they transition through the different phases of life, from maiden to mother to matriarch.
Tammy shares her personal experiences of motherhood, the shift from raising a baby to guiding a child, and how illness can actually strengthen family bonds rather than divide them. We also dive into the impact of technology on parent-child attachment, the importance of maternal presence in early childhood, and how to face life's biggest transitions with strength and grace. This conversation offers valuable insights into the power of faith, forgiveness, and community in navigating the many stages of womanhood.
