23: Motherhood, Matrescence, and the Healing Power of Art with Leanne Morton

Motherhood changes everything. And sometimes, it cracks us open in ways we never expected. In this episode, therapist and art healer Leanne Morton shares how becoming a mom revealed the limits of even her own professional training. We unpack why so many mothers feel isolated, overwhelmed, and unsure of who they are, despite having prepared “all the right ways.”

We explore how art therapy, community, and compassionate self-inquiry can reconnect women to their true selves. Leanne also guides listeners through a short, heartfelt creative art therapy exercise and explains how her Denver-based Pregnancy Support Circle aims to offer the kind of village every mother deserves. Vulnerable, validating, and deeply human, this episode reminds us that there is no one “right” way to do motherhood, but there are better ways to feel less alone.
