RMC 16 - Mothering, Lineage & the Art of Matrescence with Lubna

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend Lubna — an architect by training, and a mentor, witnesser, and guide for mothers by calling. We talk about lineage and inheritance — what it means for her to mother as a woman who is both Lebanese and Venezuelan, and how cultural roots live on in the body, in birth, and in the way we care for our children. Our conversation weaves through matrescence as art, sensuality in mothering, and the forgotten rites of passage around birth and death. Lubna shares how both the loss of her grandmother and her own birth experiences became awakenings — initiations into deeper womanhood. We speak honestly about the joy and the grief of motherhood, about why mothers need to be witnessed, and how much is lost when we rush women through these profound transitions without community or ritual. This is not a how-to conversation. It’s a remembering. Of motherhood as creative, sensual, ancestral, and alive — and of women as carriers of wisdom, not martyrs.
