Mindful Return's May Book Talk: The Mother Code

About The Webinar

What would the world look like if there were as many stories about motherhood as there are people–stories that leave space for every path women choose, whether or not that includes motherhood? The Mother Code is about how to embrace mothering as a radical act. It's about how the rigid roles and expectations we hand to women no longer work for anyone–and ultimately how author, Ruthie Ackerman, attempted to disentangle herself from those messages and figure out how to redefine her own path apart from the generational trauma passed down by her family and society.

Synthesizing reporting and memoir, The Mother Code unravels how we’ve come to understand the institution of motherhood. What emerges is a groundbreaking new vision for what it means to parent: a mother code that goes beyond our bloodlines and genetics and instead urges us to embrace the legacy we want to leave behind for those we love. Join Ruthie in conversation with Mindful Return's CEO & Founder, Lori Mihalich-Levin, to discuss:

  • The Unique Mother Code Narrative We All Have

    And how finding that voice helps us pinpoint our deepest desires.

  • The Power of Owning Your Path

    Figuring out who we can be and what we can achieve outside of marriage and motherhood. Disentangling ourselves from society’s conditioning, from the rigid cages that trap us all.

  • The New Norm for Motherhood in the Workplace and Beyond

    Who says that motherhood has to be an either/or? That we can't follow our dreams and be mothers? This conversation will be about rewriting the narratives that hold us all back and connecting with others to find a new footing.
