Down The Well

by Elle Rowley

Motherhood should be full of joy and meaning. But it often isn't. Why is that? On Down the Well, Elle Rowley, talks about how mothers can achieve that meaning and joy by going on their own hero's journey. Unlike the traditional hero's journey, mothers have to descend into the depths of their own soul. No one comes out of motherhood the same, and with the right perspective and resources, we can make sure that transformation is for the better.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Motherhood creates, inspires, thwarts, destroys, and rebuilds you and here’s a place where we can finally about it- in all its nuances. Lots of intent and thought behind each episode (I‘ve already re-listened to several!). 100% recommend!

Elle, keep going! I enjoyed all of these episodes so much. Thinking about my almost transition from mother into matriarch, the Grandma Moses episode was delight! I hope you keep the focus on matriarchs. I have wanted to listen to a podcast where older women are interviewed for all my years in motherhood, and so often podcasts are produced by young mothers, and I just think we don’t have the powerful vision yet of the women who are already through this stage. Just ordinary women. Not just the ones who ran high powered companies and balanced a thousand things (although I honesty would value their thoughts and interviews as well) but a broad range of life experiences. I am guessing the ones we think lived the most ordinary, mundane lives have something remarkable to share.

Grateful for this unique perspective on motherhood and how we can find ourselves while raising our little ones. Thank you for providing this for women!

After a long break from podcasts, this is just what I have been needing! A positive outlook on the transformation of motherhood. Thank you Elle, and can you please take the middle of episode one and create a short mantra episode I can listen to every morning ;)
