Holding Healthy Boundaries When the Upsets Are Big

Holding Healthy Boundaries When the Upsets Are Big

We had one of the hardest moments in our relationship the other night. Lately I’ve come to realize that even clearer boundaries need to be offered to my toddler. While I’m great at meeting her emotions, and staying present with the big feels, inside of that I’m recognizing the need to make sure she’s feeling an even more stable container. I’m bringing in even more of my divine father to my parenting. Qualities of agendaless presence, stability, and clear consistent reliable b

What is Attunement?

We hear this word but what does it actually mean? This is a skill I share with clients and often coach partners in how to attune to one another. It’s also paramount in parenting. Attunement is the ability to meet a person exactly where they are at, and be with them in their state, in presence, empty of any agenda to change their current state. Easier said than done, right? Well, that’s where I find many have misconceptions about this word. It is an act of being not of doing.

Rupture and Repair With Your Child

Our children lead us to places inside of us that have not been fully processed. Places within us where trauma is unresolved. When they hit certain ages and stages of development, they will activate unworked trauma in a parent from that stage. To me, this is both painful and such a gift to get to meet these places in myself on deeper levels. 🙇‍♀️❤️ The place for me that gets incredibly activated and triggered in my relationship with Anaiya is when I feel she’s not listening

Self-reliance vs. Self-regulation

Self-reliance vs. Self-regulation

What’s the difference between self-reliance and self-regulation? It’s so easy as a parent to feel our needs don’t matter. Our awareness is so often on our children and their needs that we can forget about our own. This may register as healthy parenting patterns. And while staying present to our children's needs is vital for them to feel safe, met, seen and responded to, your inability to tune into your own needs may stem from ways you weren’t met as a child. We come into

What is a New Earth Child?

What is a new earth child? We know these children are choosing to come to the planet during this time and are here to help elevate the consciousness. To raise the vibration. They come carrying codes of oneness, union, inter-connectivity and love. And they are sensitive to feeling when the people around them and their environments are dissonant with these wisdoms. They refuse to dim their light or conform to the status quo. They are here to shake things up, to agitate a compla

What Do Children Need When They're Dysregulated?

What Do Children Need When They're Dysregulated?

What do children need most when they’re dysregulated? When their emotions are full. Their upsets big. Their anger intense. They need to know we are right here with them. That we’re not going away. That their big feels have room to be here. And we will be here with them. They need to feel this. Empty words of reassurance fall flat if we’re not also embodied in this. What does that look like? A cultivated capacity to be with our own big emotions. An open heart of empathy and a

Supporting Our Gifted, Highly Sensitive Children

What if your highly sensitive child is shining the light of awareness to the places in you that want to come into resolution? Parts of you that are bound energy waiting to be presenced and held so that they can unbind and return to your innate state of wellbeing. These places in you whose needs were so unmet that they developed survival strategies of protection, disassociation, managing, and freezing to maintain “love” and “connection” with your primary caregivers.

Learning Unconditional Love

“Mama I love Kintu but his behavior of peeing on our cushions is not ok” We are happily welcoming our newest family member… Kintu the cat 😻 He came into our lives in the most magical of ways. He’s a super snuggler and great with dogs and children. So much about him feels so right. And we’re having some challenges around his peeing practices. While this could be a whole post on the journey about the cat’s elimination choices that’s not what this post is about. It’s about thi

Parenting With Polarity

These terms feminine and masculine are thrown around so much these days. As a parent I’m really tuned in to where and how these polarities serve in union for the wellbeing of me and my inner world and my child. I feel the term masculine represents pure awareness. An agendaless presence that is all pervasive and all sustaining. Here...no matter what. An unshakable ground that is like a stage for the dynamic aspect of reality (the feminine) to dance upon. This presence offers a

Another Stretch of the Umbilical Cord

This week was another stretch of the umbilical cord. I’m deeply grateful for all the adults in my daughter’s life. So many loving and caring humans offering healthy imprinting into her system. I’ve also noticed it feels time for some more consistent children in her life. This week she started part-time daycare where she is with three other kids and a woman that is a total loving mama bear. 🐻 As we packed up her lunch last night and woke up this morning, earlier than our usua

Co-regulation with a Tree

After a fun time at the park, Anaiya knew it was time to leave. She’s really into her scooter lately and had ridden it there. She now wanted to ride it over the grass. I reminded her that on the grass it didn’t ride smoothly and it might feel hard. In that moment, in her world, this was devastating news. She started sobbing. Typically she wants to be held but this time she ran off. She kept running until she stopped at a tree. She reached out to this tree with her hand and th

Honoring Emotions

I often hear how toddlers are run by their emotions. This is true and what I notice is the importance of two things with this. Being fully present to allow for the intelligence of the emotions to move through the body, and offering context for the emotions either while it’s occurring or after. Why do both of these things matter? Not trying to change my daughter’s experience reflects respect and honoring of her experience. Telling her she’s ok or not to cry is dismissive to he

Holding Healthy Masculine as a Mother

The healthy masculine holds an agenda free container for the arising dynamism of the feminine. Let me be clear here, that I’m not referring to men and women, or gender or sex. I’m speaking to the energetics that divine masculine (yang) and divine feminine (yin) contain. I believe we all are the holy union of these two polarities, regardless of what gendered body we choose. ☯️ One of the awakened qualities of the masculine is a container. One that is not stagnant, but ever-pre

Seeing the World Through the Eyes of my Daughter

We went on a hike to Brainard Lake recently. She was strapped on my back in one of those fancy hiking packs. Walking is just part of the adventure... She's aware of the pine cones on the ground and wanting to say hello to each tree and make physical contact with her hand. She feels the variation in textures of the bark and branches and pine needles. We walk at the pace that feels good for her so she can take in all that she is noticing. The hike is much less about moving to g

The Magic of Motherhood

A friend recently asked me what surprised me most about motherhood. What a great question. As the answer arose in me, it was about where the magic resides inside parenting. Through connection. That’s where the juice is. The joy. The play. The magic. Seems obvious right? Except no one told me that before becoming a mom. I heard about the challenge and how tiring it is. And when parenting happens from a top-down approach of authority and discipline, I can see how that would be

Saying Goodbye to Caffeine

Before pregnancy I chose to stop drinking caffeine. I didn’t drink a ton of it, but it was definitely something I felt some dependency with and I knew I didn’t want to drink it while pregnant. This is one of the best choices, for my system, that I could’ve done. I’ve continued to stay off it. Though I do drink raw cacao, which has Theobromine in it, it’s a heart-opener for me and doesn’t overstimulate me. I’ve tried a few sips of caffeine recently and what I notice is it real

Soaking in Those Quiet Moments

The stillness of my child as she sleeps, matching the calm from the snowy blanket on the land. As the external quiets, I’m able to tune back into my inner landscape... and simply listen. These are the moments that truly keep me connected to Source and support me to parent from a place of responsiveness and love, rather than reactivity and impatience. Self-care is not a luxury as a mama, but a key part in thriving, for us both. And while it may not be as long as I might like,

Empowering Choices

Blueberries or bananas? Would you like to walk, or have me carry you? This shirt or that one? “That one” she delightedly exclaims as she picks the one in my left hand. Such a simple moment but a poignant moment of choosing. Reaffirming to her that she’s the co-author of her life. And has been since she was born (well, actually in utero, I was deeply listening to her then too). As the neural pathways in her brain begin to develop, and ego identity continues to grow she knows

Another New Phase of Development

Once again, Anaiya has hit a new phase of development. I notice there’s an adjustment period to these shifts as more independence is emerging in her. And it’s timed with me returning to seeing clients more full-time. As I’m spending more time away from her, I notice I’m tasting what feels like freedom that I haven’t had in these past 18 months. And it feels good! Not only is she moving into more independence, but so is her mama. An aspect of me has been so hungry for this and

Anaiya Turns One and a Half!

Anaiya just turned one and a half. In baby age this feels significant. She’s shifted into 18 month old clothes and shoes. But beyond the physical growth what’s got my attention is this next phase of her personality coming online, especially through verbal communication. We’ve been in a symbiotic non-verbal communication since she was born (and in the womb). I can read her body and energy and usually know what she needs. Her facial expressions and reaching and pointing speak v
