Is slowing down is the key to happiness? I know most of us have heard the exact opposite message for most of our lives but, when I was forced to hit pause on my life and focused only on the present moment , I discovered that presence equals real happiness for me.

Let me know in the comments if you’d be interested in a video, where I share practical ways I’m trying to slow down and find that happiness in our fast paced 🌎.

Hypnobirthing has a bit of a PR problem 😅
So let’s clear a few things up together!

Hyonobirth is about learning real, usable tools for your nervous system, the kind we simply don’t have time to go deep into in most prenatal classes.

Tools that help you stay calm and present when things feel intense, unpredictable, or out of your control. It also allows you to work through your fear before labour arrives so that the fear doesn’t take over the experience.

That’s exactly what we explore inside Awakened Birth: A Mind-Body Birth Series, starting in two weeks!

Drop the work BIRTH bellow if you’d like to learn more ❤️

I filmed this 3 weeks and finally able to post it, oh the joys of recovering from a concussion. 🤕

I already have more books I want to add to this list so this may just have to become a series 🤷‍♀️

One last stroller ride for the memories.

Ok this one may seem simple, but asking for help when your in the thick of postpartum is not as easy as it sounds.

Even the act of writing everything down can be a huge eye opener for you and your partner.

So do yourself a HUGE favour and put this little plan into action before baby arrives. 🥰

1. Write down everything you do in a week ( tasks, chores, caring for other children and pets etc)

2. Write down the name of a loved one who can do this task for you for the first two weeks PP (at least)

3. Ask these people on your list. They will be so happy to help!

4. Enjoy the benefits of setting yourself up for a better PP period 🙌🏼

If you’ve ever thought: “five days of school is too much, but homeschooling isn’t it either”… same.

Enter: Freedom Fridays ✌️

Each year I play around with our school rhythm until it feels right for us.

I’m so grateful we can do this, I know it’s not possible for everyone. But every time I mention it, parents are surprised and curious to hear how it works.

This year it looks like Friday meetups with a .compass.studio and her kiddos, exploring and learning, out in the real world together.

And honestly? It feels so right. 🌲
