It always, always starts with our inner voice. ⁠

It always, always starts with our inner voice. ⁠
If you can find a way to treat yourself kindly, remind yourself you absolutely do not have to love all of this (no-one does), then everything else will come from kindness too. ⁠
⁠
Part of the reason we grieve is because we believe it’s gone forever. ⁠
⁠
We believe that the care-free, spontaneous, ambitious, passionate woman is gone forever. ⁠
⁠
And in parts, that’s true. ⁠
⁠
That version of that women will not return - there is no going backwards in life. ⁠
⁠
But please trust me when I say that’s not the end of your story. ⁠
⁠
The whole point of this divine transformation of matrescence is that you will emerge whole again - but a whole new wholeness. ⁠
⁠
You thought you were whole before, completely unaware of a dormant power waiting inside of you. ⁠
⁠
You thought that was your power - it was not.⁠
⁠
It was a false power in the acceptance of others’ ideals and the pursuit of success. It was not your truth. ⁠
⁠
And when, through this process, that awareness finally awakens within you, you will realise that you were never really whole at all. ⁠
⁠
I thought I was whole - but mamahood showed me that at my core, I didn’t like who I was. I felt I had to prove myself to be loved. ⁠
⁠
Now, with the gift of matrescence, I have found a woman who loves herself. ⁠
⁠
She accepts herself with such grace and compassion. ⁠
⁠
Even when she falls down now, she lovingly reaches out a hand and says ‘it’s OK. ⁠
⁠
You’ve got this.’ ⁠

Who am I now? ⁠
⁠
So much has changed over the past few years, and in the whirlwind of survival, I found myself wandering the streets of France last month asking myself this question, again. ⁠
⁠
Who am I now? ⁠
What do I want? ⁠
Who is this next version of Amy? ⁠
⁠
I literally teach others how to navigate life transitions and changing identities, and yet, here I was... wondering how to answer that question for myself. ⁠
⁠
And then I went to Eze, a tiny town from the middle ages on the French Riveriera, and wandered through the cobbled streets and up rambling streets into a gallery. ⁠
⁠
The minute I walked in, the artist said “I need to do your portrait”.⁠
⁠
He seemed to have cerebral palsy or had suffered a stroke, parts of his body paralysed, with knee pads and protective gear to help him when he fell. ⁠
But the room! It was full of abstract art and creativity, and his sister and carer guided me around until I found a painting I loved. ⁠
As a “bonus” he insisted, again, he drew me. ⁠
⁠
And so in the sweltering heat of a cave from the middle ages, I sat in the tiny art studio in and chatted to his sister about the pandemic and Australia and ageism while he sketched. ⁠
⁠
And the end result made me cry. ⁠
⁠
It’s abstract.

I'm not really sure it 'looks' like me in the true sense of the word.

But it felt like ME. ⁠

A new me.

Perhaps the beginnings of a new picture of me. ⁠

Always changing.

Always growing.

Always seeking. ⁠

A journey of rediscovery.⁠ ⁠ Seeing the world

A journey of rediscovery.⁠
⁠
Seeing the world through our children's innocent eyes; the way we once used to. ⁠
⁠
By immersing ourselves in their perspective, we not only witness the enchantment that surrounds us but also learn valuable lessons about ourselves and the world. As we navigate the journey of matrescence, this newfound understanding can enrich our lives in profound ways. ✨⁠
⁠
Through their curious exploration and unfiltered observations, our children teach us to embrace a sense of awe and appreciation. We learn to slow down, to savor the sights, sounds, and sensations that often go unnoticed. In doing so, we cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.⁠
⁠
Their uninhibited self-expression becomes a gentle reminder for us to honor our own authenticity and embrace the fullness of who we are. Furthermore, observing the world through innocent eyes opens our hearts to compassion and empathy, fostering a more inclusive and compassionate society.⁠
⁠
By embracing the magic of seeing through the eyes of wonder and awe, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, self-expression, and connection. We gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world, allowing us to grow and evolve alongside our children.⁠
⁠
It can be a hard road, mamas, but there is an abundance of light peaking through every atom of this world, if we let ourselves see it. Let us immerse ourselves in the enchantment that unfolds when we see the world through innocent eyes. May we learn from our children's inherent wisdom, rediscover our own sense of wonder, and create a life filled with magic, joy, and limitless possibilities.⁠

This is our greatest challenge. ⁠
⁠
One day, we will look back at this time of trying to figure out how to stay sane while juggling it all, and marvel at what we did. ⁠
⁠
But I don’t want to wish I did it differently. ⁠
⁠
I don’t want to miss this time, and screw up my health again. ⁠
⁠
I want to create a new definition of success for my daughters and son that shows a woman can be both creative and driven, soft and hard, passionate and compassionate. ⁠
⁠
That’s what our generation of mothers is about: rewriting the definition of being a woman. And that’s what matescence is really about: ⁠
⁠
A rising of you, the mother. ⁠
⁠
Welcome to the new way. ⁠

⁠
I pushed it down, keeping a smile on my face, believing that we the 'right' thing to do. ⁠
⁠
Besides, if I let it out, what would change? ⁠
⁠
In fact, it will only make it worse. ⁠
⁠
So on I would go. ⁠
⁠
Inner resentment building, outer warrior pushing on. ⁠
⁠
AND THEN THE DAM BROKE. ⁠
⁠
𝗜𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. 𝗘𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. ⁠
⁠
But what do we do with it? ⁠
⁠
And what is it really all about, anyway? ⁠

⁠
I want us to gather together to reflect honestly about how we're feeling, and why.⁠
⁠
I want us to take off the mask of motherhood we've been wearing and allow us to FEEL it... in a safe and supportive way.⁠
⁠
And then I'd like to invite us to really look at what our anger or resentment is really trying to tell us.⁠
⁠
Is it a reaction to deep depletion?⁠
⁠
Is it a response to feeling invisible?⁠
⁠
Is it a warning sign from a tired body?⁠
⁠
Maybe it's deep worry about the world around us?⁠
⁠
Or maybe it's a wake up call and call to action to change things up and redefine your boundaries?⁠
⁠

⁠
and expect to not only find an aligned community of women, but a real and practical hour to shift that inner feeling to something much more productive and healing.⁠

Mama slow 🐌 down. Slowing 🐌 down is healing

Mama slow 🐌 down.

Slowing 🐌 down is healing.

You are not going to miss out.

Someone else is not going to take your place.

Give that nervous system a rest this weekend.

What is meant for you is already on the way to you.

You don't need to earn rest.

You deserve rest.

Rest is medicine.

Rest to rise.
