✨2026✨

From the depths of the solstice and the embodied grief imprint of my birthday, January 1, while cosmically insignificant, always brings a surge of energy for me. I do see a shift in the light. It calls to me, and this year it commands: ENGAGE.

I've got a big fire to tend to this year, and I am calling all the mothers to gather round and engage it with me.

In the spirit of engagement with reality as it is, let us step forward into strength (body, mind, and spirit,) COMMITMENT (unconditionally here,) and courage (because how else could we keep going?)

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Thank you for being here. I would love it if you would join my Substack for more and deeper shares.

“If sequestered pain made a sound, the atmosphere would be humming all the time.”
- Stephen Levine

Grief is almost like a connective tissue that binds us to one another, and one that must be moved in order to soften.

This season, honor nature’s call to slow down. Don’t fight it. Learn to move at a pace that breathes and reconnects you with the web of human life - courageous, tenacious, and alive.

Now's the time. I almost never discount my 1:1 sessions, but this year has been - how shall I say - desperate, no?

And while I've felt (and feel) the grief, rage, and sometimes disorientation of living in this difficult time, my practice of Somatic Experiencing, expressive arts, and movement have kept me in a steady relationship to my body and my needs and empowered me to bend without breaking.

I want you to have these life-changing skills as we enter approach winter so you might enter the dark season with your inner torch lit.

Here's the deal:

What: Three one-hour sessions for brand new clients to explore Somatic Experiencing, expressive arts, and erotic embodiment.

Why: Because well-being is not well-doing and true and lasting change starts in your nervous system, not a hyper-vigilant stance against what you will or will not allow yourself this season.

Cost: $333 (almost 50% off my normal rate.)

When: Sessions must be used within 60 days of purchase.

If you're totally unfamiliar with my work, please set up a free consultation call this week.

If you've taken classes with me and you are a YES, sign up now, baby.

➡️ Only five of these spots are available.

Some of the best parenting / partnering / life advice I've ever received was through a poet named Gregory Pardlo, who said, "just say the fu***ng thing!"

In our roles as caregivers and partners and creators, clarity in communication is the most important and under developed skill.

❌ I'm not talking scripts from a "parenting expert."

🔥 I'm talking about the blazing truth of YOUR boundaries, YOUR expectations, and YOUR desire.

If you don't know what you need and want, you cannot get it met.

If you're communicating out of fear that you will upset your kids or that someone will misconstrue your meaning, you're going to feel more confused about what you need and create more barriers to your own satisfaction.

Mothers! This is your moment! Burn through the people pleasing, the victim story, the perfectionism, and just say the fu***ng thing: I need more. I want more.

And I'll teach you how to proceed from that place so that you create more intimacy and trust with that beautiful voice of yours.

❤️‍🔥Mother Fire runs Oct 15 - Nov 19❤️‍🔥
We meet on zoom from 10-11am Pacific

Over six weeks, you'll break the cycle of resentment and burnout by cultivating MORE curiosity, pleasure, and connection to your whole self.

Shout it from the rooftops! ❤️‍🔥I WANT MORE!❤️‍🔥
➡️more space inside my brain and body,
➡️more connection to myself,
➡️more gratitude,
➡️more confidence,
➡️more joy.

Let's do this. Link in the usual place.

Mothers need more support, though I often wonder if we're not getting it because we're not actually saying the fu***ng thing we mean.

We're angry (and there's a lot to be angry about) and we're reactive (hanging on by a thread most of the time,) and STILL there's a tremendous amount of avoiding the intimacy, vulnerability, and transformation of asking for some help! Of waiting for the other person to get the hint rather than say, "I'm sad, I miss my life, I feel so alone, I don't know what to do and that makes me afraid."

In the words of Muriel Rukeyser, "If one woman told the truth about her life, the whole world would split open."

In my own words, the whole world would be lit up by the clarity of her fire. There would be no denying the centrality of her role and her power.

❤️‍🔥 Which is why I created MotherFire! ❤️‍🔥

Six weeks to refine your relationship to yourself and your role as Mother so that you can set better boundaries, enjoy your time more, and live as the tenacious powerhouse you are.

❤️‍🔥 From Oct 15 - Nov 19 ❤️‍🔥

⚡Learn how to identify your needs and communicate them in ways that create more respect and more intimacy.

⚡Approach challenges and needs in ways that leave you feeling organized and empowered instead of endlessly burnt out.

⚡Experience the calm in your body of knowing the trauma of your past is not chasing you.

⚡Engage in actual self-care rather than recovery from treading water all week.

⚡Feast on your own delicious life instead of feeling like motherhood is consuming you.

$500, or make five monthly payments of $100.

Be the hearth of your home without burning yourself out.

We’re overly fixated on what we lose in motherhood, and while there’s room and, I believe, a necessity for grief, we must also acknowledge that grief becomes chronic depression and uncontrollable rage (some might say PMADS - perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) if we’re not simultaneously CELEBRATING, praising, not only what we love, but what’s NOT WRONG.

🔥🔥🔥

There’s still time to join MotherFire at the early bird rate of just $400. You can sign up today with code CREATIVITY and even choose the option of four monthly payments of just $100. Price goes up to $500 after Oct. 8. We begin Oct. 15 and meet for six weeks at 10am Pacific.

At the end of these six weeks you will:

Know the difference between the perfectionistic voice and your soul’s desire.

Have the skills to connect to an experience of groundedness, no matter the circumstances.

Experience surrendering to the conditions of your life with grace, gratitude, and grit.

See possibilities where before you saw insurmountable obstacles.

LOVE yourself and your way of meeting motherhood. Self-trust, self-respect.

Bring a friend, and I’ll give each of you $100 off the early bird price. This opportunity goes away on Oct. 8!

The doors are officially open for my next group program, MotherFire! She is the next iteration of The Dark Mother, and she is giving coffee-with-your-bestie-on-a-velvet-couch-while-listening-to-Hole-Solange-Banks-Prince-Linda-Ronstadt-and-whoever-else-the-f**k-we-feel-like vibes. Belly laughs. Fat tears. A deep breath that seems to come from the center of the earth.

I’m eager to get you in this space because EVERY time I facilitate a group (EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.) women tell me that they feel better. And while I’m also a busy mom and life is very full, I also know there are simply certain non-negotiables in my day / week that give me spaciousness, capacity, clarity, and connection. And they do NOT require tons of effort or special accommodations.

MotherFire! is a six-week incubator utilizing Somatic Experiencing, Expressive Arts Therapy, and the ancient technology of circle.

Week by week:

From self-sacrificing to nourishing self-indulgence

Moving from control to creativity

Establishing emotional balance

A ritual to tend to the grief

Holding better (for everybody) boundaries

Future-proofing your life after MotherFire!

Check out my free class, Reigniting the Soul of Motherhood to get a taste!

ALSO! For the next 48 hours, everyone who signs up for MotherFire! can bring a friend in for just $200, making it $300 for each of you! You will get a code after you sign up to send to your friend, and ensure that you have an IRL body / buddy to keep the energy going after six weeks.

"I want to teach young girls how to growl and go feral. I want to invite them to dance naked in front of the altar of their art."

"If the answer to that important question: "Must I write?" is "Yes, I must," then do not die at the feet of others' expectations. Do not die of emails. Live as if you do not care about being rude. Indeed, when you are actually dying, I suspect you will not care if they thought you rude, only if they thought of the things that you wrote and found in them beauty or hope or some mirror for the unsayable aspects of being human."
