What stories and beliefs have you been told about what it means to be a good woman and a good mama? What are the folklore of your life – and are they serving you? Are they even something you think about? One of the most important elements of matrescence – the transformation of a woman…

Over the years, I have heard so many mamas share with me what their Inner Mean Mama sounds like. I know that we, as mamas and women, are so hard on ourselves, often feeling like we’re never good enough, or worrying that we’re always screwing it up. And then, when I talk to them about…

It’s one of the last unspoken areas of mamahood: sex, passion, and desire once we become parents. But if we are to truly embody being a whole woman, it’s a part of us we can no longer ignore or hide in shame. How do you reconnect to this part of yourself when your whole world…

We have been told that strength comes from our willpower, our ability to keep on going, our resilience in the face of fear.  And yes, of course, that is true. As women and mamas, we have that innate ability to soldier on, no matter what. Especially when it involves our children.  But motherhood requires a…

On reflection, the IDEA of self-care, self-reflection, even daily meditation sounds nice – but really, is it even possible? When so much of our lives seem to be filled with the ‘urgent and important’ tasks of life, these ideas just keep getting pushed down the list. But what if we were to start to consider…

“If I’m not Superwoman, then how am I going to get it all done?” That’s what I believed for so long. And it’s what I’ve heard mamas say for years. It’s nice to think that we can slow down, let go of the pressure, look after ourselves a little better, and be in the moment…

I want to show my children what is possible. I want them to see that you can be a kind, compassionate and present mama, and still do what you love. I want to show them that you can have a healthy and respectful marriage with three kids taking up ALL OF YOUR SPACE. I want…
