We Mother Each Other

“I can promise you that women working together –
linked, informed, and educated –
can bring peace and prosperity to this forsaken planet.”
~~ Isabel Allende
Greetings to all my precious people!!
We’ve spent the month of June exploring:
June 5: Taking up space (reclaiming the belonging mother’s body first taught)
June 12: Finding your voice (speaking from the body mother gave you)
June 19: Healing the mother wound (breaking the lineage pattern)
And now, the final piece: We are the mothers now.
Not just to our children (if we have them). But to each other. continue reading
The Mother Wound

“The mother wound isn’t about a mother’s love.
It’s about a mother’s capacity.
And healing it is how we honor her by
becoming what she couldn’t be –
not because she failed,
but because she was doing her best with what she had.”
~~ Adapted from Attachment Theory
Greetings to all my precious people,
I want to talk about something tender today.
Not with blame. Not with anger. With deep, fierce compassion.
Because I’ve been sitting with this: The relationship between you and your mother’s body is the relationship you have with your own body.
And if that relationship is wounded, it’s not because your mother didn’t love you. It’s because she couldn’t emotionally attune to you in the way your nervous system needed.
And that matters. Not as blame. As context for healing. continue reading
The Neuroscience of Coming Home

“Your brain doesn’t make you small to punish you.
It makes you small to protect you.
The question is: Are you still in danger?
Or is it time to come home?”
~~ Dr. Julia DiGangi
Greetings to all my precious people!
We’ve spent the month of May learning to come HOME:
To your body (Week 5 – body-mind is one).
To your Inner Mentor (Week 6 – listening deeply).
To coherence (Week 7 – interior alignment).
To living FROM home instead of searching for it (Week 8).
And you might be wondering:
“Okay, I understand this conceptually. I even FEEL it sometimes. But why is it so hard? Why do I keep shrinking back? Why does my voice still disappear? Why do I apologize for taking up space even when I know better?”
Here’s why:
Your BRAIN is still running old programming.
And until you understand what your brain is doing (and WHY), you’ll keep fighting yourself.
Living from Home: The Practice of Being Where We Are

“Consider what your life would look like
if you lived more loyal to your dreams …
and less influenced by your fears.”
— Tara Mohr, Playing Big
Greetings to all my precious people!!
For two months we’ve been exploring homesickness.
The ache. The exile. The longing for something you can barely name but KNOW is real.
And now, after eight weeks of WAKING UP, REMEMBERING, RETURNING, I have the final truth to share:
You’re already home. You always were.
The work is not GETTING there. The work is REMEMBERING you never left.
Coherence is the Medicine

“What would the world look like if
we were truly awakened
to the depths of our healing potential?
We would remember we’re wired to heal.”
~~ Dr. Shamini Jain
Greetings to all my precious people!
I’m going to tell you the truth about why your wellness routine isn’t working.
Not because you’re doing it wrong. Not because you need more discipline.
Because you’re missing the one ingredient that makes everything else work:
COHERENCE.
What You’ve Been Trying
Let me guess. You’ve done some version of this:
✅ Clean eating (organic, no sugar, no gluten)
✅ Supplements (hundreds of dollars worth)
✅ Exercise (yoga, Pilates, walking, strength training)
✅ Sleep hygiene (magnesium, blue blockers, perfect routine)
✅ Stress management (meditation apps, breathwork, therapy)
✅ Hormonal support (herbs, adaptogens, bio-identical)
And yet.
You still feel:
- Exhausted despite 8 hours sleep
- Anxious despite meditation
- Symptomatic despite supplements
- Off despite doing “all the right things”
Why?
Because sustained wellness doesn’t come from ADDING more interventions.
It comes from creating COHERENCE in the system you already have.
