Mother Praxis

Dr. Allison Davis

About

What kind of mother do you want to become? How does that differ from mainstream motherhood norms? How can we challenge the norms that contribute to mothers feeling lost, isolated, and alone? How can we reenvision mothering to help mothers feel rooted, connected, and revitalized? How can we extend mother work to include ourselves, our communities, and even our planet!?

Welcome to Mother Praxis, a podcast for mothers challenging norms and reenvisioning motherhood for themselves, their families, and our planet.

I’m Dr. Allison Davis, a counselor, educator, and researcher of perinatal mental health and a mother walking this path with you. Join me for our second season exploring mothering theory/practice that includes mother work that nurtures personal and planetary wellness.

Mothering as a Spiritual Awakening with Dr. Allison Davis

Matrescence,* the developmental period of motherhood,  can be framed as holistic rite-of-passage into a new way of life and a new mothering identity that affects a mother in every realm of  life... including the spiritual. This period holds transformative potential for a mother, and mothers stories and research exploring mothers experiences shows mothers can experience (and often experience) significant spiritual development as a result of mother work  (Athan, 2005, 2013, 2015).  Mothering and motherhood can be experienced as a spiritual education, promoting a mothering consciousness with growth in spiritual domains seen across all major world religions such as unconditional love, interconnection with the Earth, self-transcendence, heightened awareness and senses, experiences of the sacred or mystery, and meaning and purpose (Athan and Miller, 2005, 2013). I talk about this psychospiritual mental health approach to understanding mothers experience, one that frames at least some of mothers suffering as a response to developing what Im calling a "matricentric or mother-centered ecofeminist consciousness".  From this perspective, many mothers suffer because they develop a "counter-cultural" (Athan, 2016) commitment through their maternal practice to nurture and protect all Life on our living Earth... within a culture that challenges that consciousness with ways of seeing and being in the world that deny and threatens Life.   Weaving in a bit of my personal experience seeking support in the spiritual domain as a result of feeling disoriented by my own spiritual development after becoming a mother, I explore the ways this growth can show up a mental health challenges that we can support and alleviate within ourselves and other mothers through proper framing, support, and guidance.  *Matrescence is a concept brought to our current understanding by Dr. Aurelie Athan of Teachers College Columbia. Find out more about her,  her body of work, and the articles I reference (which are available for free) at www.matrescence.com.
