"sunny side up mama"

trailblazer conversation day three with hanna

 

"Conscious Parenting in the next step of Attachment Parenting" shares Hanna who deeply wanted to mother in a close and connected way, but found it challenging to actually do so early on.

"I feel like I really struggled with how to handle these [mothering] things without going into my own childhood triggers and I felt lost as to how to manifest what was really in my heart."

In we cover some territory that I think you might recognize yourself when you have a listen.

~ How all the information that is available to us creates confusion and overwhelm - keeping us from heart-centered mothering and confidence.

~ How mothering is a practice and what that means on the ground everyday for a mother.

~ That moment that you realize it [your mothering responses] have actually changed and the efforting has gone.

~ So much more.

Have a listen as this wise-mama shares her journey in all vulnerability and authenticity.

So much gratitude to Hanna, Kyra and Sarah for sharing their honest, real-life, vulnerable mothering stories with us here in the Trailblazer conversation series. xo

Sage Mothering 2017 has begun, but there's still time to join us this week.  The mamas are getting settled in for our journey and would happily welcome you into circle!  Join us HERE. xo

trailblazer conversations: day two with sarah furtick

 

 

It's an honor to bring the Trailblazer Conversation series to you! These are radically honest conversations with real-life mamas like you.  It's not often we share to real, raw feelings underlying our mothering.  These conversations illuminate the dreams, trials, journey and intentions each mama holds in her heart. My hope is that these conversations are helpful to you in some way along your journey.  

We are all in this together.

 

Day Two: Honoring Teachers! {they need that more than ever right now} one woman's brave journey and how that began in her mothering journey and rippled out to all her students.

  

Sarah Furtick is a public school teacher, mother to two young children and brave weaver of new paradigm thinking into an often not so flexible system.

 

Our conversation covers some really inspiring topics, including:

~ How Sarah went from feeling really hungry, searching and feeling a little lost to finding her power.

~ The magic that flows when we shift inside ourself first and then let it ripple out.

~ The power of intention setting and clarity on values.

~ Her very creative way of bringing the emotional intelligence tools she now uses in her mothering into her classroom with at risk teems as well.

~ How important a community is and supportive accountability when we are forging our own path in mothering.

 

"I found my power and I don't have to stay in something that isn't serving me, working for me..."

This is my favorite quote from our conversation - have a listen to hear what the catalyst for Sarah really finding her power as a woman and a teacher was!

 

Join me in honoring teachers today!  Have a listen here: 

If you resonate with what Sarah shared about the importance and value of having a circle of supportive sisters and a dedicated guide along your mothering journey - no matter how "far" along the path you may be - I would be honored to welcome you into Sage Mothering 2017.

Much love,

Mariah

trailblazer conversations: day one with kyra lehman

Dear ones,

I'm so honored to bring the Trailblazer Conversation series to you over the next couple of days.  These are radically honest conversations with real-life mamas.  Each conversation as unique as they are.  It's not often we share to real, raw feelings underlying our mothering.  These conversations illuminate the dreams, trials, journey and intentions each mama holds in her heart. My hope is that these conversations are helpful to you in some way along your journey.  We are all in this together.

 

Kyra shares: "All I ever wanted [as a child] is for someone to pick me up and hold me and say, "that must be really hard.""

 

Day One: From Paralysis and depression to embracing joy and the full expression of being human!

Kyra Lehman, founder of Proximity Theater Company, and wise Mother to one spirited boy shares her journey in all it's depth.

 

Our conversation covers some really rich territory, including:

 

~ How in the course of one night, birthing her first babe into the world, she was a new woman.  

~ How becoming a new woman, a new mother, she felt more "carved-out" and depressed than ever before.

~ The way she craved to do mothering in a heart-centered way but not having the tools left her feeling paralyzed with the fear he would feel the way she had in childhood.

~ The beautiful story of her work with young women and how her mothering tools are also her tools for helping these women develop a strong sense of self and a high level of emotional intelligence.

~ The impact her words have on the lives of the youth she engages with in all areas of her life.

~ How she now feels so much more courageous and confident in setting limits knowing they come from a place of deep deep love.

 

Kyra is a gem to listen to as she shares the full spectrum of her mothering experience:  "My experience in my life is so much brighter and more detailed now, the darker colors seem darker and the lighter feel lighter, my feet are more firmly on the ground!"

 

 

Sage Mothering 2017 is open for registration a few more days.  If this deep-dive journey in the company of wise-women ready to live fully alive in their mothering right now calls to you, please join us HERE

 

Much love!
