In this episode, Cait sits down with bestselling author, speaker, and founder of Rising Woman, Sheleana Aiyana, to explore the profound spiritual journey of motherhood, healing, and self-reclamation. From a childhood marked by trauma and adversity to building a global movement that has impacted millions of women, Sheleana shares how her own healing journey became the foundation for her life's work. Together, Cait and Sheleana discuss the ways motherhood dismantles our illusions of control, invites us into deeper authenticity, and creates opportunities to heal generations of inherited patterns. They discuss the cultural pressure women face to &quot;find themselves again&quot; after becoming mothers, and why Sheleana believes allowing yourself to be transformed by motherhood may be one of the greatest gifts available to women. This conversation is a powerful invitation to stop resisting the metamorphosis of motherhood and instead trust the wisdom of the journey.
