25.01.2022 Something along these lines came up in our women’s circle on Saturday. That many women experience a surge of creative energy postpartum and feel like they want to ‘achieve’ and ‘do’. We pondered how much of it was our surging postpartum hormones to help us feel good as we experience such demands on our energy and how much of it was this internalised capitalism (among other things).

23.01.2022 Perfect analogy.

21.01.2022 This is an important read. Actually, more important for those who don’t bleed, who probably don’t follow my page in the first place. So share amongst your friends! The only way to end the taboo is to normalise our menstrual blood.

21.01.2022 I want a bigger light blue bit!!! But on a more serious note, the mental load of motherhood is HUGE. They seem like menial things but when it’s added up to every waking moment of every day, it takes its toll. ... What to do about it? Well, I haven’t quite figured it out but I’m working on it. Probably just culture wide, systemic change in the way we view women and mothers. Valuing the work of motherhood for the critical role that it is. Valuing women as equal but different contributors to society. Valuing women’s time in the same way we value men’s time. Your time is gold. How are you going to reserve a chunk of that gold for yourself? So you can get out there and be amazing in your own right?

21.01.2022 Safety is an illusion. In pregnancy. In birth.... In life. We have no way of knowing what is around the next corner. We can either live in fear, worrying about the future, or live in love, focussing on NOW. Love what you have right now. It’s the only moment we really have.

18.01.2022 Facts don't cause our suffering. The stories we make up around facts cause our suffering. Check our this article, it makes a lot of sense and is so liberating. The principles of conscious leadership have been life changing for me and are tools that I will continue to practice and incorporate into my work with women as I master them. https://conscious.is/b/facts-have-never-caused-my-suffering

17.01.2022 This is the other part to the previous post. Do you have permission to be unavailable? Or does it always have to be carefully asked for, arranged, timed and prepared for?... Do you have to make sure all of the chores are done and food is prepared before you become unavailable? Even when you are unavailable are you still available on the phone for menial questions?

16.01.2022 Hey! I’ll be in at Childbirth Education Association Darwin teaching prenatal yoga today at 11.30. I’d love to see you there! I’ll be available for questions about birth education or birth support and to borrow books from the library afterwards.

16.01.2022 Remember our next circle will be held in just over a week. If you’re keen to join, message me and I’ll share the address. Our postpartums really shape our transition into motherhood. This is a chance to share, learn, grieve and listen x

15.01.2022 If you feel silenced when someone says, ‘at least you’ve got a healthy baby’, find someone else to talk to. You deserve to be heard.

15.01.2022 Women need personal connection. Men do too, but I’m not going to try and tell men what they need. I met with a woman the other day who was in her postpartum and she said how much she was craving human connection. ... Not on a screen or on the phone or on social media. Real life, in person connection. I was so happy to be able to be there with her in her living room as she breastfed her little one and talked about how things were for her. Think about your beautiful woman friends, especially those with small children. Can you take a coffee or juice over one morning and stay for a chat? Can you go over with your kids one day after school? Can you take a yummy lunch over one day? Can you ask to drop in and help out with the washing/washing up/pick up all the shit off the floor (if she’s got kids, there’s shit all over the floor). If you’ve only got 15 minutes, just drop in for a hug and a smile. Gosh life feels better when we have a hug and a smile and laugh and a cry with our fellow women. And if you’re feeling really called to gather your women together, consider holding a circle. In your living room, yummy food and just enjoy each other’s company.

14.01.2022 I am in awe. I had the absolute honour of witnessing the most incredible goddess give birth this week. She saw the sun rise three times from the start of her birth process until her perfect daughter was in her arms. ... She pushed for seven hours. Her partner and I were shattered. But she powered on. From the first time she said she couldn’t do it, it was another 27 hours before she gave birth. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it now. Women are so very powerful. Which brings me to this question: What are you willing to go through to birth your baby in your power? Are you willing to be in the birth process for 3 days? Are you willing to push past every physical and mental barrier you have? Are you willing to endure like you have never endured before? Birth is big. And it takes a Willing Woman to face this challenge head on and blast through all of her known limits. And at the same time, women have been giving birth for millennia. It’s is a natural thing for a woman to do. What an absolute blessing that we women are bestowed with this life shattering and epically transformative task. This woman is now basking in the glow of her newborn. You can see the oxytocin flowing between mother and daughter. She was a Willing Woman.

13.01.2022 Where are the wise women? We are born into the hands of a gloved medical practitioner. Where are the wise women?... We experience our first menstrual bleed with embarrassment and shame. Where are the wise women? We become pregnant and struggle to find a path that feels right. Where are the wise women? We give birth in the presence of strangers and are touched by those same gloved hands. Where are the wise women? We learn to breastfeed through tears, pain and anxiety. Where are the wise women? We experience the ache and turmoil of matrescence with loneliness and confusion. Where are the wise women? We mother our children through anger, guilt and despair, trying desperately not to have them relive our childhoods. Where are the wise women? We struggle to communicate and feel connected in our relationships. Where are the wise women? We begin to question the narrative we have been sold about womanhood and motherhood and we wonder in anguish, where are my wise women? Why aren’t they here for me? Where is my village of women ready to nourish me and hold me at each of life’s rites of passage? If we feel a lack of wise women, able to hold us through our rites of passage, let us become those wise women so our daughters and granddaughters can say. I feel held by my wise women. Our blueprint, as women, is to have that village of support. It is a primal need. It is in our DNA. Do you feel it? Artwork: The Daughter of the Daughter of My Daughter by juliedillon on DeviantArt

13.01.2022 What a beautiful way to journal through your pregnancy or gift to another woman on the journey

11.01.2022 The Limitless Woman All of the Women’s Work I do, I dedicate to my little woman. I am striving to be the change I want to see in the world, for HER. ... Women have an incredible opportunity to influence the future of the world. How we mother directly impacts how our children grow up to view the world. This in turn dictates how they will go on to interact with the world and treat others. So why is it so hard for so many of us to show up as the gentle, respectful, calm and patient mothers we wish to be? Generations and generations of intergenerational trauma and epigenetic programming mean that how we are right here right now is a result of how our mothers were treated, our grandmothers, our great grandmothers and even further back. At least 14 generations in fact. That’s a hell of a lot of women and a hell of a lot of cumulative trauma and oppression. Recently I took part in an incredible training program that taught me how to help a woman remove these patterns from her lineage. Once she decides she’s ready to let it go, she lets it go for herself, her ancestors and everyone in her lineage to come. I was blown away at how this tool actually worked. I witnessed transformations in the women I was training with and I witnessed transformations in myself. Now, it takes a bit to ruffle my feathers and it also takes a bit for me to say, ‘wow!’. But during this training, I was impressed. I noticed huge shifts in myself and those around me and any doubts I had about whether this was ‘too good to be true’ were soon gone. I wish every woman could experience this process and feel the lightness, clarity and calm that comes over them after a breakthrough. But it’s not for every woman. It’s only for those who are ready to let go of negative patterns. It’s only for those who are done with their limiting beliefs and paralysing feelings. It’s only for those that know something has to change NOW. The process is called Creatrix (R) Transformology (R) and I’m super excited to be one of lucky women sharing it with the world. I’m doing this for my little woman. So she can grow up with a whole lot less negative patterning, trauma and limiting beliefs than her woman ancestors. Who will you do it for?

05.01.2022 I don’t want pills or hormone altering devices in by body AND I want to be able to control my fertility. Enter: Fertility Awareness Method. ... It’s so much more than just birth control. Having an intimate understanding of your cycle not only makes contraception easier, it makes life easier. I love it. Even though it’s still my responsibility, there are no harmful side effects. http://www.becellison.com.au/the-justisse-method.html

05.01.2022 Important we’re so geared towards productivity, doing important things. Getting stuff done. Being competent. The change of pace and definition of doing with... a small baby can be frustrating and weird, make you feel lost, like you’re not doing anything. When actually, the doing of the baby-toddler phase is the most intensely unseen doing you’ve ever done in your life. . . We don’t acknowledge motherhood as an immense job in itself, one onto which we layer piles of EXTRA STUFF. We say to ourselves WHY AM I GETTING NOTHING DONE ANY MORE? We undermine so many of our achievements because we’re not seeing them. We look for accolades to show how good we are at things. But motherhood can’t ostentatiously show us how well we’re doing with notifications, likes, pay rises, promotions and appraisals. So we have to learn the language of motherhood wins and there are so so many wins, they just look - and feel - different to what we’re conditioned to feel proud of. . I love this image @fromthepine ~ We’re all doing a wonderful job, so we are, so we are . You are more than enough. You’ve done brilliantly today. . . #workingmother #motherhoodrising #honestmotherhood #thesupermummyth #matrescence #selfcareformums #buddhismformothers #freelancemum See more

04.01.2022 This is why the personal development part of motherhood and parenting is *so* critical. In order to change the trajectory of our children’s future, we need to step up and do our own work. With the right combination of tools, this can be easier than you think @nurture_neuroscience_parenting

04.01.2022 Mother your baby through the night

03.01.2022 Stop searching for answers outside yourself and your baby. You will find all you need there AND if that inner search still leaves you feeling like there is something that needs investigating or something is wrong, there is help and assistance available.

02.01.2022 This is so bloody sad. I feel a full body grief when I read and feel these words. Our hair Our faces Our breasts... Our body hair Our loose postpartum skin Our stretch marks Our fat stores Our perfectly ‘imperfect’ figures Our ‘moody’ cyclic nature Our menstrual blood Our vulvas Everything. There are multiple greedy industries ready to take our money all in the name of self hatred. Hatred of the feminine. How can you love yourself more? I know I have work to do around self love. I think we all do. Vulverine

02.01.2022 A baby carrier is one of the very few 'must have' items I recommend getting hold of (new or second hand) when you have a baby. Being able to keep your baby close and happy while you have two free hands is invaluable. I'll be sharing about baby wearing at this ABA event. I'll demo some carriers and will happily help you get comfortable in your carriers, so be sure to bring them with you. See you there!

02.01.2022 When we heal ourselves, we heal our parents, grandparents and other ancestors. When we heal ourselves we heal our children. Or more importantly, we prevent the issues from being passed to them and our grandchildren and great grandchildren at all. Your children and grandchildren are worth it.... You are worth it.

01.01.2022 I feel this is relevant to many aspects of the Women’s Journey. Believing that we can get pregnant any day of our cycle and using pharmaceuticals to prevent it. Believing that someone else needs to assess our pregnancy to tell us our baby is ok. ... Believing that we need to have our babies delivered. Believing we need someone else to tell us our new babies are ok. Believing that we are ‘just’ mums. Of course we can seek whatever support or external assistance we feel we need but at the very core, it is is us women that need to make the initial and final decision. About our bodies, about our babies and about ourselves.
