Mother and child are divinely woven together in growth

When my children were babies, as sleep deprived as I was, I think I must have read well over 100 parenting books.

I was in a gazillion forums (we didn't have FB back in those days ) and mother groups.

I was passionate and devoted to being the absolute best mother I could be.

As life often is for mothers with very young children, my world was consumed by parenting 24/7.

Some of the time I loved that and some of the time I was disheartened exhausted and wondering how the hell I was gonna make it through the next 18 years.

I was constantly trying to apply the advice I'd read or that another mum had told me had worked perfectly for her and I felt like I was often second guessing myself for saying the wrong words or forgetting the "magical" approach that was going to be the cure (to whatever was going on at the time).

I drove myself to exhaustion with this approach, when in reality the answers to raising my children were INSIDE me. The solutions were INSIDE me and the transformation that I wanted to create - it came about from INSIDE me too.

You see it's not about reading one more book.
My guess is you've already read a bookshelf full.

The mother you want to be, that you want to show up as ... she is INSIDE you.

She's there in the vision you hold around how you WANT to show up as a mother,

She's there in your values and what's really important to you,

and she's even there sometimes in the critical voice that tells you you're doing it wrong.

You're wisdom and your answers are within you if you know how to access them....

AND the greatest gift you can give your children is NOT reading one more book,

It's doing the inner work you need to do to step into your wholeness and to step fully into your light. To create the space inside you so that the mother you most want to be can rise naturally. You're personal growth as a mother is NOT just a nice to have extra, for when you have the time.

It is the work you are really meant to be doing, because it is the work that will have you show up in your highest, raising you children in love and light. Your inner work IS the work, it is what will most benefit your children.

You're wisdom, your truth, you love, your light, they are what you want to cultivate and they are cultivated WITHIN and from within they ripple out.

Stop giving your power away sister. Stop deferring to others who claim they have the answer for your child even though they don't even know your child - and they could never know them like you do.

When you step into your light and into your wholeness, you will rise naturally as the 'perfect' mother for YOUR children.

If there are mothering qualities you wish you had more of (for example more patience, more playfulness) I'm here to tell you, you can have them - but they are cultivated WITHIN you.

If there are behaviours or habits that you wish you NEVER did and that throw you into shame and regret (for example yelling and screaming, or checking out) I'm here to tell you that you can transform them in a lasting and sustainable way into something that feels authentic, empowering AND loving and in alignment with your values... but the work is once again an INSIDE job.

It's all there inside you beautiful. Even if you feel its locked away, or it doesn't exist, I promise you it does.

The time is NOW.

Stop putting yourself on hold.

You are putting on hold the key to your joy and happiness as a mother and to raising your children in alignment with your heart.

Your children need you to rise into your light now.

Kaya and I are offering to hold you strongly, in a deep, safe, unique (and love filled) container for an amazing journey of healing and transformation.

The woman who comes in, is not the woman who will leave.

You will be so much more whole, self-love will be real and at a whole different level.

Along with this wholeness and love, old habits and behaviours will transform and disintegrate

and qualities you felt lacking and deficient in, will emerge in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

This is the journey of Transforming the Shadows of the Mother- https://mothersawakening.mykajabi.com/p/shadowsofthemother-…

This will be a special journey, it starts very soon, and it's the last one Kaya and I will be doing for the foreseeable future in this live format.

If you feel drawn to us, to our work, to the words here in this email then this is your chance to really step into an amazing experience and do the INNER work that is seriously the key to what you most want and what's most important to you.

It's time to step out of the shadow's sister, and into your greatest light.

Your children need your light

The world needs your light
