You're burnt out... and exhausted.. Aug 09, 2023

Motherhood, honestly, has never been more challenging.

We don't have a village, and we all know just enough to constantly critique our own mothering and then beat the crap out of ourselves.

No meme online is going to fix our generational trauma.

We've done enough trauma work.

All of us know that we're mad at parents, and we'll keep projecting that on our children.

What we've never actually had are the tools to know what it is to regulate our nervous system and be the mother that w

Do you know how to love yourself? Aug 07, 2023

I remember when I was 9, 12, 15... pivotal moments of constantly feeling not enough, something was wrong with me, and heavy with guilt, shame, and feeling worthless.

The anxiousness and depression were debilitating - and I was high-functioning.

The experience would follow me well into my late 20s.

And then, one day, I decided it was no longer ok to entertain a poor, unhealthy relationship with myself.

If someone spoke to me, in the way I spoke to me... if someone treated me,

PS - What are you afraid of? Aug 04, 2023

Thank-you to everyone who shared so intimately with my last email.

When it comes to Love - What are you afraid of?
When it comes to Parenting - What is your biggest fear?

Feel free to write back and share with me what you're afraid of. Would love to hear from you and hold that space.

Sending love,

What are you afraid of? Aug 04, 2023

What are you afraid of?....

There is an exercise I share with my clients where I ask them to write down "What is disturbing their Heart?"

Throughout our lives, we go through different seasons.

Some seasons are chaotic. Some seasons create an emotional upheaval, and some seasons are smooth sailing.

For the seasons that are chaotic, for the seasons that are heavy and filled with uncertainty, where we feel "check-mate" - it requires us to get grounded.

And to get grounded starts with - acknowledging a...

Were you an unwanted child? Jul 15, 2023

This is a special newsletter for those that consider themselves the "unwanted child".

Maybe you were unplanned, or somehow a "mistake" that "shouldn't" have happened... or that you were the "unwanted child"....

I was born out of wedlock. My father was married. I was the "other woman's" child.

I was kept a secret for about 3 years.. and it was "hush hush".

There was a "story" I had about myself was; "I was a mistake, I'm unwanted, and I don't have value".

How this played out until my late

What's your relationship with needing to be in control? Jul 10, 2023

Scale 1-10 - how much do you like being in control?

Not the answer you think you want me to hear, or the answer you wish you were... If you told yourself the truth, how much do you need to be in control?

AND... therefore - when you were growing up, did you feel "out of control"? Was there chaos?

Because your relationship with needing control, with needing certainty, with needing to know, with having to have all the answers - will impact the quality of your relationships.

No one likes to be controll...
