Elle Rowley is a woman on a mission to change the perception of motherhood. For someone who believes motherhood gave her the confidence to do more and be more in life, she wants to help others begin to view motherhood as transformative instead of something to be endured. On this week’s episode, we talk with Elle about why she believes motherhood is a hero’s journey—one absolutely worth taking.

“[Motherhood] tests every part of you but on the other side of that is transformation. It is finding yourself, it is knowing yourself. That archetype is a Christ archetype. It is service. It is losing yourself and finding it.”
