What do you prefer, giving or receiving? My sense is that, like most mothers, you prefer giving. When I think of most women, there is often a difficulty in receiving. That moment someone unexpectedly offers to help and your response, without even processing what was offered, is 'no thank you.' This got me thinking about feminine energy and receiving and how we've lost touch with the lost art of receiving in our modern world

Nine years ago, preparing for my first baby, maternal intuition wasn't on my radar. When parenting challenges hit, I dove into every expert resource while my husband simply trusted his ability to show up. This imbalance taught me a crucial lesson: when mothers step away from endless advice to listen to their innate maternal wisdom, they navigate challenges with grace and find deeper peace in their choices.

For decades, parenting experts have neatly categorized motherhood into four distinct styles. But what if the most transformative parenting style isn't one you can find in any textbook? What if it's the one that emerges when you stop trying to meet everyone else's expectations and start honoring your innate maternal wisdom? Soul Aligned Motherhood isn't a prescribed style you learn—it's an authentic expression you uncover.

To be perfectly honest, soul-aligned motherhood at times feels less than soul-aligned. I've been really hard on myself lately. The day starts off funky, and by 10am I'm beating myself up for not living up to my expectations. What's different now is when I get in this headspace I immediately recognize this self-sabotage for what it is… not true. Last week I needed to prove to myself that I'm doing a ton and doing pretty damn well.

The self-care industry had me convinced that wellness came with a price tag. But the most transformative self-care I've ever experienced? It was free. It was finally listening to my body when it said "rest" instead of pushing through. It was setting boundaries instead of people-pleasing. Radical self-care isn't about what you add—it's about what you subtract. The guilt. The shoulds. You don't need another product, mama. You need to remember who you are.

They say life begins at 40, but for me, authentic living began at 36 when everything I thought I knew about myself started unraveling. Six birthdays later, I'm sharing the story of my midlife transformation—from living others' expectations to creating my own path as a soul-aligned mother. These six years brought profound loss, career changes, and ultimately discovering the courage to live authentically. Now at 42, my motivation comes from within

After struggling with severe PMS symptoms and hormonal imbalances, I turned to a naturopath for support. Despite normal lab results, she recommended a B-complex, Chaste Tree Berry, and later Cortisol Manager—leading to a dramatic improvement in my mood, energy, and overall well-being. This experience showed me the value of expert, personalized care in naturopathic medicine and transformed how I approach my health.

During a child-led nature walk with Forest Families, I discovered the power of slowing down and letting my kids lead. Initially frustrated by the slow pace, I watched my daughters struggle to settle into unstructured play—until they finally did. By releasing my own discomfort, I witnessed their joy, creativity, and connection to nature blossom. This experience reminded me that our energy shapes our children’s—and that magic happens when we let them explore at their own pace.

As I step deeper into midlife, I find myself drawn to reflection rather than traditional celebrations.
