Motherhood can be one of the most intense and transformative experiences of a woman's life.

. Journalist Joan Peters highlights the rise of the "Power Mom" and the risks of overparenting to our children and ourselves.
.Zen teacher Cheri Huber shares a spiritual perspective- sometimes it's us parents who need a "time out" so that we can be more fully present and loving with our children.
