Mothering ourselves is essentially individualized self-care. It’s identifying a place of hurt or pain when it surfaces, digging back to the root of the matter, and applying the love and care you needed at the first point of brokenness. In continuation of our discussion last week, today's episode shares 5 practical ways we can mother ourselves daily as we continue to heal and grow.

Also....we finally made it to the 100th episode!!!! This podcasting journey began in 2019 for me and I'm honestly so proud to have hit this milestone. Thank you to each and every one of you who listened, shared, and subscribed. Your support has been uplifting and I hope this journey has blessed you as its blessed me. Continue blooming beautiful people!!! God Bless!

International Women’s Day is later this week & as we continue to discuss and reflect on the impact of women throughout history, I want us to make it personal. This week, we're walking through a sensitive but necessary topic: The Mother Wound. In today's episode, we'll explore what mother wounds are, how they impact the way we show up in the world, and what we can do about them.

“Every woman who heals herself, heals her mother, her daughter….all that have come before her and are to come after” & since we can’t heal what we don’t reveal, your commitment and vulnerability to unpack any remnants of the mother wound are setting the stage for a lineage of healed women and men in your blood line. Salute yourself, friend!
