24.01.2022 Brave parenting is listening to the Knowing - Ours and our childrens. It’s doing what’s true and beautiful for our child no matter how countercultural it seems. It’s about how when we know what our children need; we don’t pretend not to know. ~ Glennon Doyle, Untamed In today’s world how we react and make decisions in life is often from a place of stress or trauma (and often both), founded in past conditioning and the high expectations society places on us to out-perform in ...all aspects of our lives in order to be ‘successful’ and considered ‘winning’ at life. It’s also from a place of fear - worrying about what will happen in the future, questioning our intuition or even not allowing ourselves to go within at all: How will I be judged if I do this? But when we give ourselves permission to sink beneath the hard surface of our fears, we begin to soften, we find love and our decisions come from an anchor of love... we begin to flow with grace and empathy. Last night as I lay in bed next to my 9 year old, the truth of this year hit me suddenly. I turned to her as we snuggled and apologized to her. I apologized for not trusting in her own faith in herself. Her innate Knowing about school and what she really needs right now to feel safe and connected. I thanked her for being brave, for standing in her truth so bravely, instead of sacrificing her own Knowing just to please the world. And don’t forget the child inside all of us, isn’t it about time we reconnected with ourselves from a place of love and faith in our own, intuitive Knowing? #fullmoonrelease #fullmoonreflections

20.01.2022 The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all ~ The Emperor - Disney’s Mulan Anyone else find themselves in tears watching any kind of kids movie? I’m not sure if it’s part of turning 40 or a legacy attached to having kids... but my girls always check in on me at critical points during a movie are you crying Mum?... Mulan has become a favorite watch for my oldest and right on cue today I shed a few tears at the ending. The words of The Emperor are always a trigger for me. Adversity comes in all shapes and sizes. And the Lotus flower offers possibly the perfect analogy for human resilience in the face of adversity. What always emerges is the most unique, authentic and beautiful flower. Hanalise was my first homebirth and born a Lotus birth. I know why these words get me everytime - they remind me of just how blessed I am to be on this journey of enlightenment together, honoring our true expression of self. What’s your favorite movie to get the tears flowing everytime?

08.01.2022 Emotions are ubiquitous to everyday life. As humans we experience at least one emotion 90% of the time! But if there is a useful belief in everything we feel, how often do we stop and give ourselves permission to feel grateful for who we are becoming and who we have already become? . Leaning into the energy of last weeks New Moon I found myself reflecting on this year, as it has unfolded for our family in its kaleidoscope of colours and patterns. It has certainly been a ye...ar that has shaped us beyond my expectations. It is a year that has required a huge reframe in beliefs and how we function as an autistic family. And perhaps letting go of expectations is in fact a big part of this years family picture. . It’s a story of growth and acceptance. . It’s a story that starts with abandoning fear & control and embracing curiosity and collaboration. . Rigid routines have transformed into low demand, predictable family flow. . Our family dynamic has expanded to acknowledge that our girls have a pervasive need for autonomy in everyday life. This is their PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), a hard-wiring in their neurobiology that means that any breech of autonomy is perceived by their nervous system as a serious threat, causing anxiety, avoidance and threat response (fight/flight). . The alchemy of PDA is a neurotype that is triggered by the demand or expectation itself. Demands, requests, reminders, expectations and anything that removes self-direction and personal freedom triggers avoidance. . To resist or try to modify their behaviour is to dismiss who they are and deny them of their innate need to feel in control of themselves and their environment at all times. . I’m grateful daily that as a family, we understand the driver behind certain behaviours and the ‘why’ of avoidance. . I’m grateful that we feel empowered to nurture our girls, and each other, from a place of deepest respect, intuition and faith. . This is my gratitude story for this year. I’d love to hear how you cultivate gratitude, whatever the emotions are that day . See more
