Today’s episode of the Initiations in Love podcast is a follow-up to our previous episode: “The Threshold: How to Stay Open When Nothing Feels Clear with Christine Hassler.” In that conversation, Christine shared her profoundly personal Initiation into motherhood. From freezing her eggs at thirty-three, to ultimately becoming a mother on her own terms, her story beautifully illustrated what it means to trust life’s timing - and to surrender into a path that looks nothing like the plan we once imagined.
In this follow-up episode, Britta reads a section from her spiritual memoir, Initiations in Love, called “Becoming a Mother,” one of the most powerful times in her life when she surrendered to a greater Love. Britta then guides listeners through a journaling exercise to help you process what you’ve heard and reflect on your own invitations to a greater Love.
🎧 If you’ve ever felt called to birth something new - whether that’s a creative project, a new version of yourself, or a more expansive way of loving - this episode is for you!
