This is incredibly relatable and had I been diagnosed before the end of my pregnancy era and early stages of parenting, life would have been wildly different! Just like after birth pains getting worse for me each birth, so too did the gaps between the ebbs and flows of this stuff. Neurodiverse parenting is a wild ride 🤙😵‍💫💫✨️

Papatūānuku is the most loving and wise of teachers, she's also a dope mama who will remind you what's what if you need her too 😜👌💫🌳

Forever grateful to reside in God's own, little old Aotearoa 💜✨️

Considering Rangi & Papa, Dad and Mum respectfully is a freaking powerful mindset shift! 💫💜🧹

Visited Helensville Arts Centre this morning to submit some work for the upcoming We Read Auckland exhibition in conjunction with Helensville Library and Service Centre.

Putting art out into the world is a whole process, one that's not for the faint-hearted! 🤙 I genuinely expected it would feel substantially easier after the first few times... I was apparently quite very wrong 😬

In part it feels kind of similar to the process of growing a baby, giving birth, fiercely protecting, nurturing and preparing it for the world and then just sending it to school one day and having to trust that everything will be fine.... on a very condensed kind of timeframe. The strangest kind of spiritual, emotional rollercoaster ride possible! With a vulnerability hangover to boot 🤣😂

Opening night event, Speakeasy, will be held Friday 8th Aug from 5-7pm. We Read Auckland exhibit open from 29th July to 23rd August 2025 ✨️💜

In honour of my Mama's birthday, I wanted to share some recent writing. 💜 A poem unraveled from my being after building the energy of the feminine rage with other witches over the weekend then transmuting it through ceremony 🔥💫

There isn't much space for a woman's anger to be expressed and released in the modern world, despite there being a whole bunch of endless reasons to maybe feel it... particularly in the role of motherhood in this day and age!

Feeling it in safe space is what we need to do in order to transmute it into useful energy, this years Matariki Celebration for Social Nexus is all about making time and space for this. Join us around the fire pit for a release ceremony and moon circle this coming Saturday evening 6pm-9pm.

Just the wahine toa this year, leave the kids at home and come have a stomp around the fire and witchy cackle 😉🧹👯‍♀️

Connecting with our own inner child and maintaining that connection as we move throughout the world can be a challenge...

Reconnecting with the power of WOMB SPACE MAGIC recently in collaboration with some power house wahine was so perfectly timed for my inner winter to hit at the start of school holidays. Like other women, for lots of my life the arrival of my bleed has been something negative or unwanted.

But before my bleed returned after my last pepi was born I really committed to making sure that the years remaining that I have with my waiwero was something different. My kids have grown up with the announcement of my bleed, a reminder to be gentle with my body and being, not unlike the reminders to be careful of baby when I was hapu.

As my potiki cuddled into me recently, I noticed how our little people cuddling us is like a reminder that our own inner little people are kept safe and secure through wombspace! Making sure to check in with Little Me throughout my day has made me realise, a tight jaw is the first reminder I am not listening to my body or little me in some capacity.

It makes sense, our connection between jaw and uterus is well known in Birthing spaces. In utero, you developed with a direct and closely linked mouth and womb as a developing fetus!

The power and connection of our inner knowing and interconnectedness with Papatūānuku is something that is a GIFT of being a woman in this lifetime, it's tragic that so many of us live a life without even realizing that.

Day One of my cycle in my house means many things, one of my favorites is that I will not be on dinner duty this evening! Tag kids, you're it 😝🤣🤙✨️

If you have moontime rituals, what's your fav for inner winter? I am forever committed to ensuring mine are lush and lux, share so I can update mine with some crowd sourcing support? 🤔💜

As we start another school holiday stint today, remember to make sure to honor your own inner child within your time with your children these holidays. The pressure to entertain/occupy kids who are not usually around while you juggle the normal life stuff, house and work through the holidays can feel torturous sometimes, make space for that for yourself!

Boundaries in our lives continue to evolve and change, if you're feeling stressed around your kiddos, there is likely some kind of need or boundary for yourself you might be overlooking...

"Boundaries make us like our kids more even though we always love them"

Boundaries are something that are organically created to respond to external stimulus and threat, the ones and ways we did as a child will follow us if left unchecked. If we are not conscious of the ways we might move between our own parent, adult and child ego states, we can be making life harder for ourselves through the conditioned pressure to 'maytr ourselves to motherhood'. Building awareness of your internal scripts is POWERFUL.

If you can, make sure you spend some time in ‘mutual sites of fulfillment’ with your tamariki over the next fortnight, something that fills your cup as well as theirs. We sometimes pressure ourselves to create memories for our kiddos in these times, but to make that work, it pays to consider our own inner child as well. It's when we can scaffold and contain that well that we are best served to take our ‘mum hat’ off and just enjoy playing with our kids ✨️💜

Happy school holiday memory making (and sanity protecting) mama's. If the journey requires you to compartmentalize some rar energy, (let's be real, it probably will) then you're welcome to save it up to come burn with us before school goes back 😉 Matariki Women's Circle - Burning the Feminine Rage Sat 12/7 6-9pm Social Nexus HQ 🔥👯‍♀️🧹

Mooncast update, tomorrow's new moon is one for the mum's particularly not to miss! As she moves into Cancer this month, it's redefining our relationships with giving, receiving and all things nurturing, she is the Mother Archetype after all!

We set intentions with the new moon, considering where you are at in terms of needs analysis and what you might be missing is a great idea. Utilising the cosmic energy with awareness of what it is stirring in us is proper witchy s**t cause it's POWERFUL AF!

If you notice the raging feminine internally in the next month, you should for sure blame Marama! But also, remember to release often, so you don't get consumed! 😉🔥✌️✨️💜

Vagus nerve reset type somatics, Romiromi, Breathwork, movement therapy and things like talking cues from your body as to where and what is 'sticky' in your system, all this stuff is the goods... 🫶Inner child mahi crossing energy lines from masculine to feminine has been entirely life changing learning and process for me!
