Hey ,

As Mother’s Day weekend arrives, I’ve been thinking about the quieter layers of what motherhood can mean.

Not only the mothers who raised us, or the ways we were cared for, but also the part of us that is learning — often much later in life — how to mother ourselves.

To re-mother ourselves is, in many ways, to begin listening properly.

To listen to the body when it says enough now.

To listen to the heart when it says this matters to me.

To listen to our needs without shaming them.

To listen to our values, especially if they were never clearly reflected back to us by the authority figures we grew up around.

So many of us were taught how to cope, perform, or be useful.

But not always how to recognise what truly nourishes us. Not always how to honour what feels beautiful, simple, or deeply right for our own life.

And maybe this is part of what re-parenting really is: learning to become a safe place for ourselves.

With the New Moon Taurus arriving next weekend, this feels especially timely.

Taurus reminds us that healing is often quiet. Sensory. Steady.

It asks us to remember the value of simple things — rest, beauty, slowness, good food, nature, touch, presence.

If you feel like reflecting a little this weekend, you might sit with these:

• What did my caregivers teach me about love, self-worth, and rest?
• Which of those lessons am I ready to outgrow?
• What do I deeply value now?
• What does my body most need from me at this stage of my life?
• If I were re-mothering myself this weekend, what would I choose differently?

And if part of your re-mothering right now is giving your system a place to soften and be held, I’ll be in the scalar-sound lounge again this Saturday at 4:30pm.

You’re very welcome to join me.

SAVE YOUR SPOT HERE!

Wishing you a gentle Mother’s Day weekend — however this day meets you.

With sound hearts,

P.S. This weekend, I also want to acknowledge how over the years, there have been people in my life — women and men — who have cared for me in ways that felt profoundly mothering. Not always through grand gestures, but through presence, kindness, belief, and the simple act of seeing me with care. Some of you in this community have offered that to me too. So I just want to say thank you. Truly. It has supported me more than I can fully put into words xx
