NOTE

Embrace the Threefold Journey of Womanhood

The hero's journey for women follows a distinct path encompassing three stages: the maiden, the mother, and the matriarch, reflecting an ancient archetype. In the maiden phase, women exhibit a warrior-like ambition, often pursuing significant professional goals with freedom and vigor. Transitioning into motherhood typically shifts focus toward domestic responsibilities, leading many to deprioritize career aspirations. This phase can coincide with a complex emotional landscape as priorities evolve. Finally, the matriarch stage emerges as women, often in their 50s and 60s, transition from motherhood to a renewed sense of purpose, characterized by vitality, wisdom, and community engagement. This transformative journey underscores the unique experiences of women throughout their lives and the dynamism inherent in each stage.
