I’m sharing this for the women who were thrown a medical curve ball and felt like they have failed.

I did everything in my power to avoid an induction this time. I prepared. I cleared. I visualised. I worked on my nervous system. I surrendered (or tried to).

And induction is exactly what I got.

But here’s what I didn’t expect…

It was the most healing experience for both Jordan and I.
And I still received the natural water birth I had dreamed of in this lifetime.

It taught me something profound.

We can clear patterns. We can prepare. We can do the inner work. But destiny is still destiny.

Maybe there are soul agreements at play, ours and our baby’s. Maybe some experiences are chosen long before we land on earth.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do… is soften and enjoy the ride.

(And no, I did not take this advice in the final weeks 😂 I was an anxious mess.)

Sending love to all the Mothers out there. You are phenomenal no matter how you birthed your babies.

Thank you to the beautiful midwives/doctors at Tweed Valley Hospital, to my birth doula and my partner Jordan. So grateful to have felt so seen, heard and supported. 🙏🏻

The early days of postpartum 🌼

Stitches.
Skin torn and healing.
Soreness everywhere.
Haemorrhoids.
That constant question — was that a fart or did I just s**t myself?
Pooping… then immediately showering.
Blood pouring out of me, a visceral reminder that something vast just moved through my body.

There is no glamour here.
Only the primal.
The raw.
The real.

My body aches.
Hormones crash, then surge.
Milk floods in.
A mastitis scare.
Sore ni***es.
No routine.
Resting.
Sleeping when I can.
Letting showers and small patches of sunshine feel like a reset.

And then we were taken down by Influenza A.
Fevers. Shivers.
Coughing until I p**s my pants.
Congestion.
Bone-deep exhaustion.
Inflammation everywhere.

And as if that wasn’t enough — an infection in my perineum.
Skin around the stitches inflamed and painful.
Antibiotics.
Being forced to slow down even more.
A reminder that healing is not linear.

No woman who has birthed a baby escapes the beginning.
It humbles you.
Strips you bare.
Cracks your heart wide open.
I truly wish more women spoke about this part.

Breastfeeding — learning it, establishing it, surrendering to it.
Cluster feeds.
This new dance between mother and son.
Skin to skin.
Heartbeat to heartbeat.
Finding our way together.

At the same time, we’re learning a new rhythm as a family of four.
Supporting a tender toddler through transition.
Letting myself be held — finally.

Nourishing food cooked by my community.
Hydration.
Rest.
Cuddles and kisses.
Day naps that feel like medicine.
Simple rituals to spark joy.
Energy healing.
Bodywork.
Homeopathic support.
Postpartum doula visits.
Tears. So many tears.

And still…
There is love.
So much tenderness.
So much truth.

This is postpartum.
Not pretty.
Not polished.
But sacred in its own way.

A descent into the shadows.
An initiation.
A death and a becoming.

There is no returning to who you were before.
Only emerging — changed forever.

Thank you to those who truly showed up when I needed it. Your love and generosity will never be forgotten.

We made it Baby B! Happy 1 month to you and Happy 43rd Birthday to me. ✨🪄🫶🏼

Welcome to earth, Brooklyn Blaze ✨

Birth was wild, raw, tender and powerful. So much to share when the time feels right.

For now we’re all resting, healing, and integrating.

✨🪄❤️‍🔥

I grew up believing I had to survive everything on my own.
The heartbreaks. The divorce. The self-doubt.
The quiet disconnection from my body, my truth, my own heart.

I carried fear as if it belonged to me forever.
I didn’t trust myself. I didn’t trust life.

So I kept searching outside of me for answers, for love, for permission because I hadn’t yet learned how to turn inward.
I changed careers, tried to ‘get it right,’ tried to fit the mould… all while my light slowly dimmed.
I didn’t know who I was. I felt lost, confused and wondered if this was it?!

And then life cracked me wide open.
The death of my mother.
The birth of my son.
Two profound initiations that shattered the woman I thought I had to be and invited me into who I was always meant to become.

Awakening wasn’t soft or graceful.
I met myself in the raw places.
I saw parts of me I didn’t like.
I sat in the discomfort.
I let the old identity slowly dissolve.

And in the unraveling…I remembered.
The woman beneath the wounds.
The magic I buried deep within.
The soul that had been calling me home all along.

Now, pregnant with my second son, I can feel how my children have been my greatest teachers and catalysts.
They opened portals I was once terrified to walk through.
They showed me what love truly is.
They awakened my voice, my courage, my purpose.

I’m no longer who I was and I’m not meant to be.
I’m becoming the woman my soul chose long before I arrived here.

As I move toward this next rebirth, I don’t yet know who I’ll be on the other side…
But for the first time, that feels exciting. Expansive. True.

I’m taking time to rest, cocoon, and honour this sacred transition and when I return, I know I’ll be carrying a new frequency, a deeper truth, a wider heart.

One thing will never change:
I’m here to help women feel seen, safe, connected, held.
To remind them of their magic.
To guide them home to themselves…gently, powerfully, unapologetically.

All my love, always. ❤️‍🔥✨🪄

We’ve walked through grief, loss, fear and a whole lot of change, edges that cracked us open and reshaped us in ways we never saw coming.

And still… here we are, choosing each other, choosing this next season with open hearts.

Now we get to welcome another little Lawson boy earthside soon. 🫶🏼✨🥹

I made a sacred promise to myself, my family, and this soul baby to honour my body with deep devotion through conception, pregnancy, and postpartum. From the beginning, I knew this journey required real nourishment, so I consciously called in a village of powerful women to support me and this multidimensional little being.

It started with a clear nudge to give up alcohol almost two years ago, one of the most transformative choices I’ve ever made. From there, I strengthened my energy practices, explored new modalities, and committed to cleansing and caring for every layer of myself.

Throughout this pregnancy, I’ve been held and supported by some of the most embodied healers I know, each one helping me weave a rhythm of grounding, expansion, and trust as my body prepares to bring little B earthside.

🪄Acupuncture, moxa + tuning forks .vanessastrauss
🪄Bodywork
🪄Chiropractic + NET - Megan
🪄Quantum healing .is.medicine
🪄Ayurvedic bodywork + craniosacral .margot
🪄Craniosacral + postpartum prep .love
🪄Intuitive healing + .withchrissy
🪄Theta healing
🪄 Shamanic cacao ceremony +
🪄Shamanic women’s craft + birth prep
🪄Lymphatic massage
🪄Homeopathic remedies .studio
🪄Physio

Some might see this as excessive but to me it feels natural and necessary. We don’t have the village our ancestors relied on so we need to build it.

My intention has always been to feel nourished, supported, healthy, strong, and clear, releasing trauma from my last birth, my lineage, and past lives.

And being 42 adds another layer of reverence. My body needs more care, more softness, and more support. I know what it takes to hold life and move through pregnancy as the rite of passage it truly is.

Every session, every healer, every pause… anchored to my intention.

This time, I’m choosing support over struggle.
Presence over pushing.
Trust over fear.

‘It’s a boy’ 🩵💙

At 12 weeks pregnant, these words cracked my heart open in a way I didn’t expect.

Not with instant joy… but with a deep, aching grief.
Grief for the daughter I was so sure was coming.
Grief for the healing I imagined through her.
Grief for the dream of raising a fierce, soft little mirror of me.

I felt it all, the disappointment, the confusion, and the guilt for even feeling that way.
Because he was healthy.
Because he came through after loss.
Because I thought miracles weren’t supposed to come with sadness.

But even in those early weeks, something inside me whispered the truth I now fully understand as I enter 36 weeks:

Grief and gratitude can live in the same breath.
Love doesn’t ask us to bypass our truth.
Healing doesn’t always arrive in the form we expected but it always arrives.

Back then, I didn’t yet know the peace I feel today.
But I was already beginning to sense that there was a deeper purpose to being the mother of boys.

It is a big job to raise heart-led men in this world,
men who honour the feminine,
who carry kindness and strength,
who help mend what feels fractured and forgotten.

This baby boy chose me.
Just like his brother did.
And even in my grief, I could feel the sacredness of that.
A reason. A medicine. A purpose I couldn’t fully name yet but trusted.

During those early months, I leaned heavily on the women closest to me…women who held space, who witnessed my grief without judgment, who reminded me of my strength and helped me soften into acceptance.

To the mothers navigating gender disappointment,
you’re not wrong, or ungrateful.
You’re human.
You’re letting go of a version of the future you thought was coming.
And that deserves compassion, not shame.

Feel it.
Speak it.
Let it move through you.
Because healing begins with honesty, and with being seen.

I spoke about this experience on my podcast episode with #180, if any part of this touches you, I invite you to listen.

Becoming the New in Motherhood ✨🪄

Becoming a mother will break you. Not because you’re weak. But because you’re expanding into something far more vast than who you were before.

With Asher, I resisted the becoming. Even after he was born, I clung tightly to the version of me I thought I had to preserve, I craved ‘fun Cass’ the spontaneous, social, free-spirited one. I tried to keep the old world alive while simultaneously holding a newborn in my arms and holding so much grief!

And I get it now. That resistance was part of that journey. But this time, this new soul, I feel it differently.

The breakdown is more intense.
More primal.
More honest.

This time, I can’t pretend.
I feel the grief pouring through my cells, grief for the version of me I’m leaving behind, for the simplicity of life before, for the parts of myself that won’t return in the same way again.

This soul is initiating me already.
Stripping away illusions.
Peeling back the layers to what’s real.
Making me have a good hard look at myself.

And it’s hard to explain, but I want it to break me this time. I want to let it. Because I trust that what’s forming on the other side is truer, deeper, and more aligned with who I came here to be.

There’s a sacred surrender in letting the old fall away.
In not rushing to “bounce back,” but instead learning to breathe deeper into the mystery of this becoming.

Motherhood is not a role, it’s a death and a rebirth.
And I’m letting myself feel every ache, every contraction, every truth of it.

To all the Mummas in the void:
You are not broken.
You are being remade

Thank you to the beautiful for bringing my vision to life. Your work is pure magic. 🪄📸
And a big thank you to for providing comfort and style through each version of me.

Life is slowing right down… just soaking in these precious moments with our little fam.

My belly is growing and honestly, I’ll get it out any chance I can. I’m so damn proud of this magic. The fact we can create life… absolutely mind-blowing. Women are wildly powerful. ✨👼🏼

I can’t believe we’ll be a family of four in less than three months. I’m really trying to be present with my little A mans and with every moment of this pregnancy — even the hard bits 😮‍💨 — because I know how fleeting it all is.

My connection with mama cacao and my allies, guardians and guides is deepening every day, and I feel held in the mystery of it all.

What an absolute blessing it is to walk this earth.

Thank you for walking this path with me. 🪄

Reclaim Your Magic is more than a retreat, it’s a homecoming.

A remembering of your power, your light, your softness, your truth.

Over three nourishing nights in Byron Bay, you’ll be held in ceremony, guided through transformational workshops, and supported by an incredible team of women — myself, .soul.lineage, , and .music.healing — each bringing our own medicine to this sacred container.

We’ll gather on the stunning grounds of , nourished by the love and care of , creating space to release what no longer serves and anchor back into the magic that has always been within you.

I cannot wait to walk this journey with the souls who feel the call. 🌹

DM for more details.

✨ 4 years of little A mans ✨

Our beautiful little boy, an absolute angel on Earth.
Sweet, sensitive, kind, and generous beyond his years.

A huge heart full of love and healing.

Energetic, funny, smart, curious, courageous, and so very loving.

You teach me every day about strength, resilience, and what it means to love without condition.

You remind me to laugh, to slow down, to be present, and to believe in magic.

You came roaring into this world and have been lighting it up ever since.

I feel so lucky to walk this life beside you.

Happy 4th birthday, Asher.
Thank you for choosing me.
I love you to the moon and back.
