November's Dance with Motherhood & Business
Reflecting on November through an audio voice note - and sharing the messy honest truth about my recent 'launch'...
Hello lovely ones
Wintery blessings (from here anyway) to you as we enter a new month and the holiday season begins.
How are you feeling?
I would love this short note to be a little opportunity for you to tune into your intention, or a word to embody, for this month ahead, and if you feel called - please share it with me. Call it a little micro moment prompt!
My word is DEEP.
If you have been reading my writing for a while then you will know that I do like to go deep with my writing and offerings, but this sense of DEEP, that December is wrapping me in, feels more about sinking into myself gently and lovingly, into the cosy arms of winter, with as many pauses as possible to reflect on the transformation year that has gone by.
This year has felt like the biggest rebirth year yet!
At the end of this month it will mark 1 year since I became a Mother to Vesper.
A whole year of being with this little soul, and of course her older sister too.
A whole year of being a Mother of two, of guiding them and them guiding me.
Phew. When I reflect on 2023 all I can say is… It’s been A LOT.
Am I the only one that is coming to this time of year and feeling a little bit of relief… that we made it here?
Anyway… you know that I can write/talk for hours… and I know you don’t need more to digest right now.
The reason I am dropping into The Mother Well today is to share my latest audio voice note with you. Last month I created a little voice note/podcast of the ‘behind the scenes’ in my Mother-centred business. Talking about the Dance of Motherhood and Business and how they co-exist together.
It received some lovely feedback, so I am doing it again. This time I am sharing a slightly longer voice note because I am also talking about all the magical gifts and lessons that I learned in my recent launch of The MotherMind. Kind of like a messy launch diary of sorts.
My hope is that anyone listening - who has ever brought a creative project to the world, or is considering doing so - will find it soothing when you hear the undulating journey that it took me on.
Listen on to hear all about…
What has been surfacing for me in my business and Mothering this month.
How my recent ‘launch’ went from all angles - a very unfiltered expression of the highs and the lows, and exactly what I did to navigate them.
The importance of pivoting and experimenting in our business in order to find the ways that work for us.
And more chatty conversation.
If you want a little taster of the ‘behind the scenes’ of my launch you can read this piece I wrote with here.
My intention with this voice note is to share the imperfect, messy and chaotic truth of what it is like to run a business alongside Motherhood.
