How brave you are for slowing down. For not finishing that to-do list.

How courageous you are for not crossing that finish line, because your body said “enough.”

How fearless you are for choosing the quiet of your soul over those voices driving you always towards more.

How bold, how rebellious -
you, out there,
honoring your own natural rhythm,
going against the culture’s breakneck speed.

We tend to make heroes of those hungry with ambition, relentlessly doing, producing always more.

We applaud those who refuse to stop or rest. Who push themselves so hard in the name of achievement, that they sacrifice their body and soul and heart in the process. We celebrate those who are ill or aging but never show it, never slow down, never reveal a moment of vulnerability.

This drivenness can be heroic, at times. It can be necessary for our survival or the greater good.

But,

I want to make heroes of those who slow down.

I want to make heroes of those who listen to their bodies, who do not strive for more than what the soul truly needs.

I want to make heroes of those who do not force or push, but surrender to each moment as it opens.

I want to applaud those who may not be driven towards success as we know it, but instead are nurturing something deep and subtle and needed.

I want to celebrate those brave enough to cease all doing, even for a second, and sit with the ache in their hearts. A task many find harder than summiting the highest peak.

I want to make heroes of those who honor their limitations. Who are unable to keep up with the busy-ness of our times, yet show up to each profound, necessary moment.

It is truly an act of courage and rebellion to do any such thing, in a world demanding you resist your own self, your own rhythm, your own soul.

And the paradox is, that often when we cease our incessant doing, even for a minute, and listen to that quiet voice within, we discover what it is we absolutely must do, and what instead can fall away.

We finally hear the call towards what serves our soul, and what then will serve the world. Nothing more, nothing less.

A hero is simply someone brave.
So come, be softly brave.
Be a new, quieter kind of hero.
Few may applaud, it’s true, but your soul certainly will.

Let’s talk about this title of “Super Mom”

Is it really a compliment? I mean yeah, you’re doing it all. Your house is tidy, your children are fed, they wear the most adorable clothes, you send the cutest goody bags for the school parties, their birthday parties are bigger than the community carnival, and you even look good doing it.

But you’re exhausted. You’re hanging on by a thread. But you can’t let anybody down so you carry on.

What if made ourselves, as women and moms, a priority the way we do our children and family? What if we stopped trying to live up to the “super mom” mentality and just kept doing our best and cheered each other on because we’re all just trying our best?

Let’s all embrace the face that none of us are “super mom”. Let’s embrace the fact that we all have strengths and weaknesses and THAT IS OKAY! I, for one, know there are things I’m great at and I know there are areas in which I am an utter disaster. So instead let’s use phrases like “keep up the good work!”

If you’re trying to juggle it all and live up to that “super mom” title, give us a call! Don’t do it alone!

Who decides who we are "supposed" to be anyways? Trying to keep up with the Joneses or following the habits of society often leads to feelings of unhappiness. This is because those decisions and actions often don't align with our values.

Choosing authenticity, embracing what is important to you, leads to a rich and meaningful life.

What would you do differently if you were choosing to live an authentic life?

I'm going to keep sharing these beautiful testimonies! ❤️

"I found Felicia when I was expecting my first child and trying to protect myself from postpartum anxiety and depression, which I knew were strong possibilities for me. Felicia validated every feeling I struggled with, helped me examine my fears to take away their power, and helped me to see that so much of what I was struggling with was inherent to motherhood - these were not my own personal failings. My birth did not go as planned, and Felicia is a huge part of the reason I was okay - she helped me prepare for the unexpected, and she helped me process it all when I was ready. I urge all pregnant people to invest in their own health and happiness, even as society tells you that baby is the top priority. Your baby needs you healthy. Felicia can help get you there."
