Can you feel it too? Immense darkness is being exposed. Light is filling the cracks. Institutions are crumbling. This is a gift that includes us facing ourselves - our global collective healing. Some of my bullet point thoughts from this morning: >> COVID-19 is real. AND it’s also a global distraction. >> Be really intentional with where you get your information, who you allow into your media feeds and how often you are checking/scrolling for updates. >> STRESS is responsible for 90% of disease 👉🏼 stress is a product of fear. >> Feel the fear, worry, panic as it comes up- and let it move through you. Emotions are like an ocean, allow yourself to ride the wave. >> Ensure you have support tools for your central nervous system if you reach that place- shaking, tapping, speaking to someone you trust, dancing, singing, get into nature, cry it out. Your fight or flight response has been activated, heal yourself through it. >> Isolation doesn’t mean disconnection 👉🏼 FaceTime, zoom dates, join an online community, go to the beach, park and connect with nature. All the things! ⠀⠀ Our planet is shifting into the light, the old paradigm is crumbling away, and it’s all happening at rapid speed with such intensity. Gaia has been crying out to us- 2020 is the year of a great shake up. Protect your frequency right now. Remain connected. Don’t live in fear. For most of us [excluding elderly, immunocompromised and fresh bubs] that is a much greater priority. ⠀⠀ Love xxxxxx ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #magneticalignment #mumslife #changeyourthoughts #selfcare #ittakesavillage #empoweredwoman #empoweredmum #mindsetformums #motherhoodalive #thisismotherhood #childhoodtrauma #aussiemums #changeyourmindset #lifeasamum #brisbanemums #sydneymums #melbournemums #habits #beliefs #newbeliefs #motherhoodjourney #consciousmum #consciousparenting #joyfulmotherhood #connectingmoms #mumssupportingmums #womensupportingwomen #discoverunder1k #bossmumma #honestmotherhood

Your values are reflected in your calendar and your bank account. ⠀⠀ I talk about values a lot- they’re important. Really important. They’re the guide posts to how you prioritise what makes the cut to be in your life. And oftentimes when I’m working with clients and we delve deep to identify their values, they tell me they don’t know what they are. Here’s the kicker- if you haven’t consciously identified your values for yourself [and family], you’re living in alignment with inherited, borrowed or learned values from family, media, society, schooling etc. And these values 👆🏼 are a visual representation of your stories, most often unconscious beliefs and stories that you picked up in childhood. So if you’re feeling overwhelmed and like you’re dropping balls all over the place trying to juggle it all- I can say with 99.9999% certainty that you are not living in alignment with any consciously chosen and defined values. I revisit and rejig my values regularly, and the most important step is to DEFINE what the value looks like in YOUR life.

I threw out my hats - mum hat, work hat, wife hat, “self care” hat, friend hat. I said a loud F U to trying to contain my life in “buckets”, and the perceived expectation to show up as different versions of myself in each. No more roles. No more showing up differently for different people or circumstances. ⠀⠀ Authentically 100% ME. This is how I show up. It doesn’t change for my kids. Or my husband. Or my friends. Or my clients. ⠀⠀ Showing up authentically- where I know what my needs and values are, I know what’s important from them, and because of that - self care flows into my day with ease. Holistic living = Living WHOLE. I don’t escape from my life for “me time” to fill up my self love tank, I switched open the faucet and let it flow in throughout my every day. It looks completely different. It feels fucking fantastic. Albeit a bit strange at first. ⠀⠀ What do you think? Are you 100% authentically you in your life, or are you chasing “me time” to feel like yourself, because of depletion in fulfilling external expectations? No judgement here. We’re all just finding our way home- back to ourself 🦋🕊 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #magneticalignment #mumslife #changeyourthoughts #selfcare #ittakesavillage #empoweredwoman #empoweredmum #mindsetformums #motherhoodalive #thisismotherhood #childhoodtrauma #aussiemums #changeyourmindset #lifeasamum #brisbanemums #sydneymums #melbournemums #habits #beliefs #newbeliefs #motherhoodjourney #consciousmum #consciousparenting #joyfulmotherhood #connectingmoms #mumssupportingmums #womensupportingwomen #discoverunder1k #bossmumma #honestmotherhood

Books, podcasts, seminars, learning all that stuff is great. You fill your mind and you feel so understood - Yes!! This is me!

We inherit generational trauma. We also inherit resilience. ⠀⠀ My mission, my North Star, my driving force is ONE thing: healing past trauma. Changing the narrative for the next generation. I know as I do this each and every day, eeeeverything else in my life falls more and more into alignment. ⠀⠀ Eventually, there’s one person in every family who calls it: “nup. This stops with me.” This person is the BRAVE heart. ♥️ us with the brave heart - we look at our precious children and we feel so deeply and viscerally that we we’d rather jump in front of a bus before we let them carry around the stories and beliefs that stem from traumas in our childhood, and the generations that came before us. ⠀⠀ Reading books and listening and learning how to change our stories is the easy part. Living the process and doing and BE-ing the change is the actual Work. ⠀⠀ So yep- we inherit trauma. And we also inherit resilience. When we heal our stories, our kids end up with more of our resilience.

Motherhood - a magical mess ✨ ⠀⠀ I’ve often thought to myself when people would say to me “being a mother is the hardest job ever”, that I don’t feel that way. Sure, there are days more challenging than others, but I don’t find it *hard*. 👆 Well consider this photographic documentation of a story I’ve been telling myself, about motherhood *not being hard*. A story that actually serves me and my family very well, otherwise I’m not sure I’d want to get out of bed every morning and do it all again! 🙈 I let myself forget the intensity of the *hard* moments and amplify the good [and this folks, is how you end up with multiple kids 🤪🥰] ⠀⠀ Being a mother and conscious parenting is the most challenging, crushing, soul destroying, depleting, rewarding, nurturing, heart bursting gift we can give, and we rarely recognise ourselves for that. Every day we wake up not quite rested enough and a heart full of love to pour out into our children. And some days [like today] are fucking RELENTLESS. And it 10000% feels like *the hardest job ever*. It can feel like you’re failing at every turn, your emotions are off the charts, and you’re reminded of just how LONELY being a mum is. This pic from this morning is after I completely broke down whilst cleaning projectile vomit off the couch [3rd one that morning], holding my eldest kids’ snapped in half glasses, and looking at a curtain rod that had been ripped off the wall. [all before 9am. And coffee.] Having tools I can turn to when motherhood feels next level is my lifesaver - whether it’s getting us all out into nature for a reset, a shower alone to let my mind go offline, doing my fave 6sec box breath to calm my nervous system, journaling it out or listening to a podcast. The BEST tool however, is connection. Reach out to someone, another mum, someone you can speak to and share the load. Or get outside to a park and talk to a stranger! Introverts included ☺️ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 👇🏼 CONTINUED IN COMMENTS 👇🏼

The stories and values you currently hold are the foundation in which you build your life on 🧱🦋 ⠀⠀⠀ ALIGNMENT in the most important areas of your life — how you live day-to-day, your relationships, parenting and who you’re BEing (Self) — is determined by the quality and the strength of these values and stories, and the vision you have. ⠀⠀⠀ For example, in parenting: my vision is to raise conscious, kind children who know they can do anything and see their challenges as opportunities to grow. Right now I can confidently say I’m living in complete alignment with my vision, as the stories [or beliefs] and values I hold about how we parent align with this vision. ⠀⠀⠀ 💯 - I had to reprogram these stories and choose new values: “anything is possible” is not a story I had growing up, neither was I a conscious child, this is something I learned as an adult. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ The stories and values you currently hold are the foundation in which you build your life on 🧱 choose wisely 🦋✨ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ #newbeliefs #rewireyourthinking #chooseyourthoughts #changeyourthinking #raisingkindkids #empoweredwoman #empoweredmum #mindsetformums #mindsetcoachformums #thisismotherhood #newhabits #aussiemums #magneticalignment #lifeasamum #brisbanemums #sydneymums #melbournemums #habits #beliefs #newbeliefs #motherhoodjourney #consciousmum #consciousparenting #motherwound #fatherwound #mumssupportingmums #womensupportingwomen #discoverunder1k #bossmumma #honestmotherhood

One person can’t meet all of your needs, and it is selfish to expect them to. ⠀⠀ When you’re in a long term committed relationship and you throw a few kids in the mix, (consciously or unconsciously) you might begin to expect your partner meet to ALL of your needs - as your lover, BFF, business partner, fitness buddy, shopping friend, lunch date, book club chum, coach, the person you geek out with on your favourite topics, the person you moan about your period /idiots on the internet/ the terrible series finale of The Good Place to! One person cannot play all the roles you need in your life. It’s an impossible burden to expect your partner to love you in all the ways that you deserve to be loved. ⠀⠀ 🙋🏼♀️ I know firsthand how challenging this is, especially when you’re stuck at home with a zoo of children and literally the only adult you see all week cops all your verbal diarrhoea! Keeping [or getting back to having] your intimate relationship connected and thriving doesn’t include having your partner fill aaaaall your needs in your life. ⠀⠀ How to change this pattern if you’re recognising it in yourself? ✨ prioritise loving yourSELF, first. Essentially, meeting your inner-self needs. These include increasing awareness of self (your stories), personal growth, practicing self care (boundaries, saying No, validating yourself) which all strengthen self confidence and self belief. ✨ finding and nurturing deep connected friendships. When women come together and love and support one another magic happens! We need more of this 👯♀️ ✨ having work or pleasure that is just yours. Seriously mamas- you share your body, your personal space, EVERYTHING! What lights YOU up and you can spend hours doing? ✨ connecting and collaborating with those that have the same passions! This is SO important - my husband doesn’t love listening to me yap about Human Design (lol), how my business runs, the moon, we don’t even share the same interests in music, tv, etc! [I also would rather watch paint dry than have him describe his job to me- and that’s okay. I will always listen if he wants to share, however he has other people to fill that role in his life.] ⠀⠀ 👇🏼👇🏼 CONTINUED IN COMMENTS 👇🏼👇🏼

I have had the BEST week of messages from clients telling me they’ve uncovered and released stories they didn’t even know were buried deep in their subconscious and holding them back. Just a handful of the side effects to their transformation and alignment include: ⠀⠀ ✨ they’re now parenting from the present moment with the children, not their own past ✨ they feel more themselves than ever before ✨ previous triggers from their family don’t cause a reaction from them anymore (huge!!) ✨ feeling happy and light like a weight has lifted ⠀⠀ Rewriting your disempowering stories and stepping into your authentic self is absolutely a process. I tried the “positive thinking” route, tried squashing down old memories if they’d pop up, tried to “keep my vibration high so only good things will happen in my life” BS. It didn’t work. Now I am all in for accepting the complete human experience - feeling the full rainbow of emotions, healing and releasing what comes up and doesn’t serve me, and creating a life I love. ⠀⠀ No avoiding. No hiding. No bypassing. ⠀⠀ I see you doing the heavy lifting too, girlfriend. 🌎🦋 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #magneticalignment #consciousmotherhood #mothersmatter #consciousparenting #theconsciousparent #empoweredmother #motherhoodrising #thisismotherhood #empoweredwoman #empoweredmum #mindsetformums #mumssupportingmums #thisismotherhood #wellbeing #youareworthy #mymamahood #livemoremagic #selfcaredaily #selfcareformoms #motherof3 #consciousmum #risingwoman #growthmindset #easegracesndflow #transformationcoach #newmum #melbournemums #alwayslearningalwaysgrowing #reprogramyourmind #changeyourbeliefs

Having tools I can turn to when motherhood feels next level is my lifesaver - whether it’s getting us all out into nature for a reset, a shower alone to let my mind go offline, doing my fave 6sec box breath to calm my nervous system, journaling it out or listening to a podcast.
The BEST tool however, is connection. Reach out to someone, another mum, someone you can speak to and share the load. Or get outside to a park and talk to a stranger! Introverts included ☺️

![The stories and values you currently hold are the foundation in which you build your life on 🧱🦋
⠀⠀⠀
ALIGNMENT in the most important areas of your life — how you live day-to-day, your relationships, parenting and who you’re BEing (Self) — is determined by the quality and the strength of these values and stories, and the vision you have.
⠀⠀⠀
For example, in parenting: my vision is to raise conscious, kind children who know they can do anything and see their challenges as opportunities to grow.
Right now I can confidently say I’m living in complete alignment with my vision, as the stories [or beliefs] and values I hold about how we parent align with this vision.
⠀⠀⠀
💯 - I had to reprogram these stories and choose new values: “anything is possible” is not a story I had growing up, neither was I a conscious child, this is something I learned as an adult.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
The stories and values you currently hold are the foundation in which you build your life on 🧱 choose wisely 🦋✨

![One person can’t meet all of your needs, and it is selfish to expect them to.
⠀⠀
When you’re in a long term committed relationship and you throw a few kids in the mix, (consciously or unconsciously) you might begin to expect your partner meet to ALL of your needs - as your lover, BFF, business partner, fitness buddy, shopping friend, lunch date, book club chum, coach, the person you geek out with on your favourite topics, the person you moan about your period /idiots on the internet/ the terrible series finale of The Good Place to!
One person cannot play all the roles you need in your life. It’s an impossible burden to expect your partner to love you in all the ways that you deserve to be loved.
⠀⠀
🙋🏼♀️ I know firsthand how challenging this is, especially when you’re stuck at home with a zoo of children and literally the only adult you see all week cops all your verbal diarrhoea!
Keeping [or getting back to having] your intimate relationship connected and thriving doesn’t include having your partner fill aaaaall your needs in your life.
⠀⠀
How to change this pattern if you’re recognising it in yourself?
✨ prioritise loving yourSELF, first. Essentially, meeting your inner-self needs. These include increasing awareness of self (your stories), personal growth, practicing self care (boundaries, saying No, validating yourself) which all strengthen self confidence and self belief.
✨ finding and nurturing deep connected friendships. When women come together and love and support one another magic happens! We need more of this 👯♀️
✨ having work or pleasure that is just yours. Seriously mamas- you share your body, your personal space, EVERYTHING! What lights YOU up and you can spend hours doing?
✨ connecting and collaborating with those that have the same passions! This is SO important - my husband doesn’t love listening to me yap about Human Design (lol), how my business runs, the moon, we don’t even share the same interests in music, tv, etc!
[I also would rather watch paint dry than have him describe his job to me- and that’s okay. I will always listen if he wants to share, however he has other people to fill that role in his life.]
