Happy 8th Birthday Dante, may you continue to melt hearts with that smile.

You are certainly not a people pleaser like your sister or father 😅
You don’t mind humbling people with the truth. ( no idea where that trait comes from 💅🏻 )

I love when you are upset you twist your jaw and pout just like your daddy does.

You have the BEST sense of humour and the most contagious laugh.

Love that big heart and brain of yours 💗

A girl and her horse 🐴 ( not so much a little girl anymore ) p.s still got it 💪🏼 my heart did palpitate from getting a bit too excited over these though and had to stop 🙈 .

It was just over a month ago that marked the year I came down with Covid and I have never quite been the same. I know I have been rather quiet online other than posting a few of the kids stuff here and there and I’m only really now feeling ready to share an update.

My heart is heavy with reflections, I most certainly thought I was going to die. Not while I had covid ( I never had severe covid ) That was merely but a headache and fever for me. It was the weeks after that things started looking chaotic. 12 months gone by and my whole life just stopped one day. A journey that has been isolating and lonely, revealing and downright traumatising. I’ve come so far but I now feel lonely, much fewer friends and nothing to talk about other than what seems like my self absorbed chaos.

I have summoned the strength to have had the resilience to try and try again. Hospital after hospital. If it weren’t for people online helping me navigate what was happening I’m not sure I would of survived. Those days, hour by hour painfully went passed. Feeling dissociated, unable to think and feeling like I was being poisoned slowly. A shivering curled up ball for 6 months. I was bed ridden trapped in a prison of my own mind. Too sick to move. Too much adrenaline to rest. My days were spent doing breathwork and nervous system calming exercises to try and stop my body dumping adrenaline all day.

These days, I am back to running errands and taking the kids to activities with rests inbetween. I usually have to pick what I do on what days. I’m not my former self but I am getting there. I’m atleast enjoying my day most of the time.

So what’s wrong with me? I had widespread inflammation. My brain, heart, GI, nervous and kidneys have been affected. A multi systemic breakdown. With the help of wonderful people who helped me including practitioners I was diagnosed with pericarditis, Postural Tachycardia Syndrome and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Continued in comments..

A Portuguese Horticulturist once told me that there is a depth on ‘knowing’ that you have to grow into.

Sometimes you have this intuition that a flower is a dandelion (your grandmas used it all the time) but you don’t trust that inner voice enough to stand in the truth of it. And then there is the KNOWING. The deep in your bones kind and you KNOW it is a dandelion and no one could change your mind about it - most likely because you have seen it, smelled it, touched it. So you completely embody owning your truth.

I know I could have saved myself a lot of wasted energy if I had of just followed and trusted that little seed, that dormant intuitive knowing of motherhood that lay sleeping in my bones.

When I was 21 and fresh into motherhood I had such an overwhelming fear of not knowing at all what I was doing.…I remember my first night with Abby and I was in disbelief everyone had left me all alone with her. Like what if I did something wrong??

When I didn’t know that actually everything I am and was - was exactly what my baby needed. I was more than enough.

How people would tell me that babies doing normal human things expressing them in normal human ways was somehow wrong and needed correcting.

Before I learned to shut out the opinions of others… the influx of well meaning guidance of first time mothers that comes in at all directions. I would instantly doubt my knowing, my instinct and it took me years to learn how to tell someone thanks but no thanks without freezing in resistance.

Gosh the things I would say if I could go back..

The funny thing is, the people that judge and criticise how you could be doing better never offer support..I would say things like ‘ How would you like to support me during this challenging time? Or I’m happy with my decision’

We can’t change yesterday, we can only learn from it. I’m okay with that. Im focused on appreciating the chapters I’m in mothering now fully in my intuitive knowing. 

My invitation to you, mama is if you are being challenged with motherhood, what is that voice telling you? Even if you don’t agree with medical professionals or family. What do you KNOW? Go with it.

Just like the seed,
You will need sunshine and air
Feed yourself truth,
(Again and again as if it were prayer)
And in times of struggle,
through the dirt and shadow,
You’ll begin to unravel
you will learn to grow
Surrender my dear,
So your tears can be rain.
Let them water the earth,
So the flowers grow back again

I dropped out of high school before my exams 🙈 ! I then defaulted on my graphic design diploma over a library bill I was too anxious and embarrassed to pay for. I then left a chef apprenticeship over s^x - ual harassment and bullying by just 18 years old. 5 years later I dropped out of my business major (I was actually doing well!) at Uni because I had a car accident I was healing from while also managing early motherhood. Its safe to say. School was just never for me.

I used to be so embarrassed by these ‘failures’. How they reflected on my intelligence. Yet I could tell you random facts about an Australian Governor, biochemistry, Norse Mythology, Quantum Physics and many things on creative genius or other random interests I have

I am a highschool drop out multi-failure yet I now couldn’t be more proud of my intellect and my achievements.

Like,sometimes I reflect and think, "Damn, I did THAT??" I am running a successful business. Have been featured on Business Insider, received checks from GOOP!!

I am living proof that your school grades and titles do not define you! I was feeling pretty crappy this week and I while reflecting while journalling I have a new refreshed perspective of where I am right now. I’m doing pretty darn good. 

Whatever your dream, I want to help you know success is never a straight line, it end and flows.
It wasn’t easy for me. It definitely took me time to perfect and find my voice and purpose and gain confidence back in my life.

Looking back, the biggest challenge I had in creating my work was … ackowledging my worth and that anything was achievable. That failures are merely redirections into the right path.

Unfold the flower within you, even if it seems you are an unlikely sunflower 🌻
The path is always there, just no in the way you envisioned it.

Tell me about your redirections, successes or ‘failures’ I want to cheer you on x
