Ep 23: Finding Meaning in the Mess - Motherhood, Healing & the Heroine's Journey

What if the chaos isn’t a setback — but a sacred initiation?

In this insightful and deeply transformative episode, Anniston Riekstins welcomes Dr. Nicole Dolan, a depth psychologist, author, and mother, for an intimate conversation on the intersection of motherhood, healing, and the feminine path of transformation.

Drawing from her professional expertise and personal experience, Dr. Dolan opens up about her journey through motherhood and neurodivergence, and how it redefined her understanding of what it truly means to “heal.”

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • The difference between the Hero’s Journey and the Heroine’s Journey and how each shapes our healing paths
  • Why motherhood is often a spiritual initiation into deeper presence, patience, and purpose
  • How to find meaning and coherence in life’s most chaotic and uncertain seasons
  • The importance of integrating both science and spirituality in the healing process
  • Conscious ways to support neuro-divergent children and families with empathy, grace, and structure
  • Why true healing is not about fixing yourself but remembering your inherent wholeness
