A place to learn to love your whole self. Space holder, mother and heartwork advocate.

Candle lit, music on, lights off, one is in the bath, two are tucked in watching a movie, dinner cooking on the stove.

There are messes all around me. Feelings are coming out in every way you could imagine.

I inhale and I exhale.

There are toddler feelings and puberty feelings, there are feelings of being left out, of not being enough, of wanting to be loved and seen and feeling unsure. There are also hungry bellies and tired eyes and bodies that don’t know how to regulate themselves.

Breathing in, I notice my inhale.
Breathing out, I notice my exhale.

Being a mother right now means a lot of honouring exactly where everyone is at. In my home, and, out of my home. Collectively there is a lot of carrying and holding and needing and wanting and deserving to be held.

Today, this is where I am. Tomorrow it will be different.

It just will be because it is that way.

How you feel is how you feel and where you are right now isn’t going to be where you are forever. One slow step at a time.

Keep helping your neighbours, make pancakes, drop them off, deliver groceries, say hi to someone you don’t know in the parking lot of a store, honour your gifts, let them shine and let others shine too. You are magic. I love you. Pass it on 🙌🏼💛☀️✨

Ethics over politics. You don't have to know everything for something to FEEL wrong. I believe we can all tap into our intuition or gut sense. Be kind. Offer grace and compassion. And remember to keep breathing. I love you, I am listening. Breathing in, I am aware of my in breath. Breathing out, I am aware of my out breath.

mothers must mother
each other, too.
we must hold each other up &
surround each other strong &
in the ear
of every new mother
we must whisper,
you belong.
you belong.

Deepest gratitude to my Minnesotan sister Johnna for initiating this evening and reminding me why we need to gather in person. For cooking the most delicious food for us all - truly a meal to remember. That herbed butter!!

Thank you Alex for baking bread that melts in your mouth and a cacao Bundt cake that was exactly what we all needed to finish the night. I am so grateful to have been able to hug you in person and hope everyone orders from her incredible bread drops throughout the month here in MN 🙌🏼

Thank you to the amazing woman and her family who opened up her home to us and all the women who showed up without knowing a soul and let themselves exhale, inhale, eat and gather in person. It isn’t easy to meet strangers, especially right now, but my hope is that we can continue to create moments to remember that we all belong.

I love you, pass it on.

I always thought (assumed?) this would come easier to me. The mothering. The birthing. The feeding. The patience. The rewiring and tending to. It has been a journey to get here.

Greta’s birth was a banger. A long, hard journey of so much pent up and so much being held. I had this vision that I would be able to release it in the birthing process - that it would simply flow out of me as she did.

Yet again; another assumption. Or maybe hope is a better word. I am a very hopeful optimist.

It didn’t flow out. It in fact, got very very stuck. And so did she. And in the final moment when someone’s arm and hand had to reach inside me in order to help her beautifully juicy body emerge earthside I felt the most vulnerable, weak and powerless I’ve ever felt. Deeply feeling like this was something I “should” have been able to do on my own.

There are the shoulds again.
And the hope.
And yet there we were. And there she was. And there it all was. My past, my present, my last baby, my open body and my messy heart.

It’s taken a lot of time to bring softeness back into my body. To bring love and safety back to myself. I distinctly remember sitting with Greta in my arms, swollen birthing body, tears streaming down my face calculating that the year she turns two, I’ll be turning 40.

And we are so close. I can feel parts of myself that I have long forgotten bubbling to the surface. And for that, I am grateful. Because I have grown alongside them into the mother I hoped to be on day 1 and I know I will continue to from here on out. One day at a time.

Two things that are holding me right now 👇🏼🫁💛🌟

1. Learn to pause + breathe as emotions flow through the body rather than reacting to them. THIS IS A SUPER POWER.

2. Many things we feel in the present comes from our past. Take time to process + *understand* your emotions before taking any action.

I always joke that I am not an innately slow person. I admire and desire slowness and yet it doesn’t always come naturally to me.

Last night before bed I started looking around at all the things that needed to be done. Or maybe more correctly, that I *felt* needed to get done. Dishes, laundry folded and put away, beds made and life just generally around the house. I started to do it but then I stopped myself. I crawled into bed and read. And then, I got up early, lit candles and folded laundry. I got a few things folded but then my tiny humans started traipsing down the stairs and I let it go. By the time I was ready to start making dinner at 4:45pm the sink was full, the breakfast dishes were on the dining room table and there were puzzle pieces strewn about the kitchen floor. I grabbed carrots and potatoes and started chopping anyways.

I often rush around, my ego priding myself in getting more done. Some days having a clean organized house with a kitchen not full of dishes allows me to feel this sense of accomplishment and calm. And I do honour that because sometimes it feels really good.

But in this particular moment, I thought of 90 year old me. What would she say?

Everyone is okay and right now, this space in time is offering me a moment to sink into being present.

Soft and strong. Doing and being.

And it felt really good to honour that.

It is okay to rest. Pauses and moments of quiet are there to replenish without having to come from anywhere and without taking us actively to the next moment.

It is okay for me to rest, it is safe for me to rest, I am deserving of rest 👍🏼💛🫁💫✨
