The paradox never fails to surprise me in motherhood. We can be holding so many different emotions within a breath of each other. Your truth holds a beauty within it even if it feels wobbly. I hope you can see yourself through the medicine that you are showing others… with gentleness and compassion and love. What you are creating is so needed and I think we often bring to life just what we need (or needed) ourselves. One breath at a time. Thank you for welcoming me into the panel, I’m so honoured. Xxx

I love this.

And sharing this mostly means you’re a human ❤️

You created this gathering for mental health because you know first hand how it feels to be in the dark places as well as the light.

You also know some of the resources and people to call in for support.

All of that feels like a very balanced and grounded approach to mental health.

On a personal note, during the last week, I’ve barely moved my body. With long days of driving, hotels, unpacking in a new home — I just haven’t done much. And one of my big things is advocating for small doses of movement. But even I couldn’t manage it with all of that plus some personal stuff.

Part of me asked, “what kind of a movement pro am I if I can’t do the thing I advocate for and teach?”

My answer was, “human, doing my best.”

Gave me a bit of perspective.

Sending you a big hug.
