What will YOUR initiation into motherhood look like?
The day you become a mother is filled with so much potential.
It could be the most beautiful, joyful, powerful journey; a journey of surrendering to God’s will, of learning to step back and listen to your body, to your baby; a practice that begins ideally before pregnancy but is refined in conscious, attentive motherhood.

Are your clothes made for your female body? Here’s how to choose clothing that supports your reproductive health
Did you know modern fashion styles and synthetic fabrics may harm your hormones, impair your detox capacity, reduce your fertility and suppress your womb vitality? If you're perusing your favorite online shops, you might be filtering clothes based on price and style points but I'd encourage you to add a couple of filters to ensure that the choices you are making are in line with your health goals, especially if you are working to improve your overall hormone balance and fertility.
I was featured in this animal-based pregnancy film by Heart and Soil!
Last summer, Heart and Soil Supplements sent out their amazing film crew to my house to film for an animal-based pregnancy mini-documentary! I shared my stories of my nourished pregnancies alongside two other mothers while I prepared lamb hearts to marinade for my dear friend who was newly postpartum.
Side note: The recipe for the lamb heart stew I made is included in my Resilient Motherhood Recipe Collection!!
Well, they've finally finished producing the film and it’s now available to the public!
Ladies...I got goosebumps watching it. Go watch it now (just scroll down, I’ve embedded it here!)
