A little more of my story and the ways that real me has shaped the professional me.

It’s a little longer than these posts usually are but being a story teller is always who I’ve been. And in life right now I’m really leaning into exactly who I am.

Professionally what I’ve also learned is that the best therapy helps people find a story of their life that finally feels safe, compassionate, hopeful, and helpful.

So that’s my intention for any of you that find their way to me.

I always love running my workshops. Thank you to the wonderful mums that shared space with me today.

Woke up to a beautiful client sending me this after she saw me post some other reviews.

I really am so lucky to work with such amazing women. The supportive environment in my workshops not only for me but each other is amazing.

We really are in this crazy motherhood ride together and when we feel we seen it really is better to be beside another woman that gets it.

Think things that cost you nothing but advertise your service. Information pamphlets. A discount code. Education resources.

The more women with businesses on the central coast I can support the better. We are so much better together ♥️🌻✨

The love they give and want you to receive is whole hearted. They are with you for all of it. They will ask you how you are until you feel like you can really mean it. They’ll make you food. Hang your washing on the days when all you can do is hang your head. They’ll show up- every time. They’ll speak to your soul and really know you. They’ll love your kids like their own. They will cheer you on for big and small victories.

And if you feel like your friendships don’t have the qualities have a think on this…

You can’t give what you don’t know and this is the case so often when we find ourselves in friendships that aren’t meeting our needs emotionally.

We might find that there is more comparison, complaining, judgement, lack of empathy, and general disconnect in relationships where one person is actively working on their inner growth and one is not.

It’s not the the relationship has changed, it was likely this way from the beginning. But YOU have changed and as a result of that you are growing beyond many things. People, places and things that do not align with the peace and compassion you are finding within. It’s not that these older relationships aren’t with good people, they just can’t give you the kind of connection they are yet to find with themselves.

It’s ok to allow friendships to have seasons. Some that are close and connected and others that aren’t so much. It’s ok for people to come and go from your life in ways that serve you both.

Authenticity takes courage but it’s reward is inner peace, deep joy, and meaningful connection; first inside of ourselves and then with others.

When we live to conform to the expectations, desires, and values of others we betray our authenticity. This is both physically and emotionally exhausting.

When we have the courage to be our whole true self we find freedom, nourishment, and contentment. This also often comes with abundant energy fuelled by inner vitality.

Learning to shed the patriarchal narrative that runs strong in all of us takes time and support.

Find strong women and mentors that can support you in this journey, you are so worth it.

What’s the benefit of coming as a new mum when so much of motherhood awaits you?

Exactly that! So much awaits you and what a wonderful gift to give yourself, to be able to embrace those changes with a wealth of knowledge.

Knowledge that will help you to:
🌻Embrace the changes from maiden to mother
🌻 Build a kind and gentle inner voice
🌻learn how to connect to your mother’s intuition
🌻understand how burnout happens and avoid this level of exhaustion
🌻learn about common difficult dynamics that occur between parents and how to navigate this
🌻Identify when your nervous system requires regulation
🌻Mother your baby without “mum guilt”
🌻Adapt to your changing sense of identity with excitement instead of grief
🌻Unpack the societal oppression that still occurs for mothers today and push back on this in your own life
🌻embrace difficult feelings and understand what they have to teach you, instead of feeling shame
🌻love your incredible body and all that it has given you
🌻Know deeply that you are surrounded by loving compassion in other mothers and how to access this support whenever it’s needed.

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to invest in yourself?

When did you last give yourself permission to spend some of the time, money and resources in your family on yourself?

As mothers we are so good at meeting the needs of others we wouldn’t hesitate to give the kids, our partners, families, friends anything they might need but ourselves we so often hesitate.

Today I would encourage you to think about how you can invest in yourself?

What is it that you need right now?
How can you give that to yourself?
Who can support you to have what you need?

You are so worthy of your needs being met. And when you do you will benefit in every rare of your life.

You will particularly benefit in your role as a mother. It is the role that will deplete your inner resources more than anything else in your life and if you are unable to give yourself permission to combat this depletion burnout is the end result.

Show yourself some love before this point and watch as everyone in your family benefits.

This shouldn’t need to be said but it does. It’s so important that women are continually exposed to messaging that empowers our bodily autonomy in a world where we are STILL! bombarded with passive and overt attacks on the right to have control over our bodies.

We need to SEE what the bodies of other real women look like to counter comparison culture in an airbrushed edited online world.

We need to HEAR the stories of how other women’s bodies function so we know that our diversity is and Beautiful and not dysfunctional.

We need to KNOW deep in our bones that we are worthy just as we are. That our body is the home for our magical soul and this is a role to be cherished.

We need to EXPERIENCE other women celebrating their bodies so we can learn to do the same.

We need to LEARN about the ways in which we are all influenced by patriarchal ideas that rob us of our sense of worthiness, so we can fight back from the inside out.

We need to be EMPOWERED to walk away from anyone who does not treat our bodies with the respect that they deserve.

There is not and never will be another you. The universe had to align is so many incredible ways for you to exist just as you are. Nature never gets it wrong. So celebrate the miracle you are today and have a wonderful day beautiful women.

So often we fear letting our children see our feelings. Our long standing culture of emotional suppression has lead us to become so disconnected from the power of shared feeling.

So often in life we hide from, mask, push down, numb and deny our own feelings it makes it really hard to access them.

Then we have children and often feel overwhelming emotion we don’t know what to do with.

The whip lash of going from emotional disconnect to overwhelm is a lot on its own.

Then it spills out in front of our children and we fear the guilt of “damaging” them.

There is a huge difference between unmanaged mental health concerns children are exposed to and deep feeling.

When we show and share our feelings with our children we give them permission to express and explore their own emotion.

Kids don’t do what we say (lord knows!!!) but they do what we do.

It can be hard to unlearn disconnection from our emotions and you may need a gentle guide. Know that you aren’t alone and there is so much support out there to help you grow.

We are currently mothering in an environment that has the most pressure and expectation placed on parents with the least amount of support in history.

And while many children are thriving many mothers are not.

Come and join me in my workshop for several hours of validation, support and nurturing.

Leave with a greater sense of kinship and community to other women wanting to value themselves more.

Find a pathway to motherhood that is built on a foundation of joy, presence, worthiness, self love, and peace.

Be freed from all that weights you down.

When life is hard we have to start somewhere.

When we are wanting more have to find the courage to reach for change.
