Oh the Priestess journey sounds incredible! Can’t wait to see where that guides you to! Happy birth month to Maverick and to you also! 2 years is a radical shift as a Mama xxxx
Such a fab five things and so pleased to hear about the sleep improvement, that feeling of clarity from a good night’s sleep is a wonder! I love Kat’s concept of mother maker and have it bookmarked to go back and read again (so much goodness to catch up on in my brimming Substack inbox!) xx
I hope this doesn’t come across ignorant. It’s admiration actually! 💗 Admiration for all the mamas who function on less sleep than they need ( and write great Substacks along the way!)
I struggle functioning on less than 7hours, 8.5 is my ideal. I’m inspired and wonder whether you once has the same thoughts, like how can you function....
I mean, I’ll find out in the future, until then I keep wondering 😅
Oh my gosh, Carmen, not an ignorant question at all! Do you have kids? Before I had Maverick, I STRUGGLED with less than 9 hours of sleep. I had no idea how I was going to do it. But I swear, something otherworldly kicks in and it truly doesn't affect me as much as I thought it would. I mean, I had two or three times where I definitely broke down about it and had to sleep on the couch for a few days and have my husband get up with her, but for the most part I just kept doing it and enjoyed that magical midnight time with her. And truly I think it's the power of being a mom, there's this other level of energy that you get that just keeps you going. So much of it is mindset too. I couldn't dwell on it too much and I had to keep a positive attitude towards it or I could tell I'd start to crumble. But overall, it's been way more doable than I expected!
I look forward to hearing about your experience with the priestess program! Sounds so magical!! And I loved that post my Kat River too!! I truly touched on everything I was feeling and so happy to see other moms, like you, saying you feel the same! It suddenly feels less lonely in those thoughts (and actions)!
Aw yes, Kat perfectly encapsulated the motherhood/creative experience, didn't she? I absolutely loved it too!! I think it's definitely proof that we're all in the same boat, just figuring it out as we go! So beautiful.
David says next time we come to Florida he expects a perfect cup of coffee as you will have plenty of time to practice lol ... maverick being two blows my mind mamar can’t wait to see y’all xxxx
Kat’s writing really spoke to me too. I wrote about balancing my roles as mama and maker in my last post so the idea of "mother maker" resonates deeply ✨
I love the sound of the Priestess Initiation programme, looking forward to hearing more about it. What a gamechanger it is getting more sleep, long may it continue! My youngest is getting his molars in, teething is never-ending. Hope your daughter has a wonderful birthday too. I love it when you said - 'I am a completely different person (in a good way) with so much passion and excitement oozing out of me since the mother portal opened' - I can relate to this so much ❤️. And I'm a different person after each child too I think.

Thank you, Lauren! I'm so excited to begin the journey!
And oh my gosh yes, I can't believe it! She also slept through the night for the first night EVER last night so that feels wild, too. Haha
Bet you feel brand new!!!!!!! Xx

Thanks so much, Lyndsay! I know, I feel like superwoman today! It's amazing.
I loved it too, and will definitely be returning as well! Thank you for your sweet comment!
Thank you beautiful x

Yess I always think everyone else has it so much more together and can create more all of the time, but that’s not the reality!
Thank you for taking the time to read Jennifer! Xx
Yay for doing the Priestess program! We need all the Priestesses we can get!
And...Maverick and I share the same birth day, though half a century separates us. So thrilling. 😎😁
Thank you!! I am SO excited!!
And oh my gosh, that's amazing! I love that so much!

It's so crazy how fast time flies!!
Congratulations on the priestess initiation - looking forward to magically mundane updates on that!
