Yeah, neither do I - and that's probably why I needed to read Katy's perspective on the new book Motherkind. My favorite takeaway is: Somehow, "mother" is equated with "martyr," and while parenting certainly requires sacrifices, it doesn't have to change WHO you are.

I hope you enjoy her take and seriously... start that Mother's Day gift list πŸ’›

​How More Time Outdoors Improves Sleep​

Did you know that only a third of the body’s energy should come from food? The remaining 2/3 energy sources are light, grounding, movement, and water.

​Spring Renewal Meditation​

Spring is a time of new beginnings. This meditation is a wonderful opportunity for kids to learn how each new season is part of a cycle we can depend on year after year. It's also available in the PDF library.

Warmly,
