Just in case your heart needs a little reminder…🫶🏽

You can care deeply about humanity and the world without absorbing all of its suffering. Your compassion is not measured by how much suffering you can carry.

One of the most damaging stories women absorb is that we become less powerful as we age or perhaps that we never had any power to begin with. This topic comes up often in the work I do with women in mid-life.

Midlife can bring changes in our bodies, our roles, our relationships, our careers, and our sense of identity. We may grieve who we were, what we thought life would look like, or the years we spent trying to be what everyone else needed us to be.

Power has very little to do with appearance. Power is being fully here. Fully present. Taking up space. And the willingness to participate in this journey of life even when we feel afraid. It’s about learning how to play with our edges, showing up with discernment and with all the wisdom we’ve accumulated throughout our lives, while honoring our unique needs, talents, and gifts.

I was a little reluctant to share this photo, but for me this image is about embodiment, feeling present in our own skin, honoring what our bodies have carried, and continuing to build strength for the lives we still want to live.

There is grief in midlife and there is also freedom. We do not have to become less powerful as we age, ladies. Mid-life can be a time to finally learn what our power actually is and embody it. 💪🏼 ♥️👊🏼

Strands Beach has played a significant role in my healing as a bereaved mother and I know I’m not alone in that. For so many of us, it has been a place to walk, breathe, grieve, reflect, and somehow find our way forward. It’s a sacred space here in South Orange County.

Right now, much of the shoreline we know and love has disappeared beneath the water after powerful swells, high tides, and coastal erosion from Hurricane Marie. I hope the sand returns. I hope this beautiful place continues to be here for all of us.

May this also be a reminder of how deeply connected we are to the natural world. The ocean has held so much for me and for so many others. May we remember to care for her as much as she cares for us.

To the newly bereaved mother,

I know your world has stopped while everyone else’s seems to keep spinning. I know there are no words big enough for what has happened. No way to make sense of a life that was supposed to unfold differently.

You do not “get over” losing your baby. Over time, you learn how to carry the love, the longing, and the loss with you as you slowly learn how to live again. But right now, you do not need to be strong. And you do not need to do this alone.

There is a whole tribe of bereaved mothers out here who know this kind of heartbreak. We have walked through the fire. And when you are ready, we will walk beside you while you find your way through it too.

Your baby matters.
Your motherhood matters.
And you are not alone. 🤍

Feeling overwhelmed?
Try these 3 microchargers at your desk.

Self-care doesn’t always require an hour, a class, or a whole routine. Sometimes it’s 30 seconds of noticing what you need and responding. And when our children see us do this, we model that caring for ourselves is a normal part of life. That’s a skill worth passing on.

Join me on an end of Summer mindfulness walk. As Fall approaches, it’s a great time to reflect on what you want to fall away from your life so you can create an intentionally fuller life. 🍂

This is why grief education and grief support is necessary. So many of the expectations placed on us after loss are unspoken and they come from an emotionally mis-attuned society that does not know how to be with grief.

We are asked to experience profound loss and then simply continue living as if nothing has changed. But grief healing is not that. It is the sacred, difficult art of grieving and living simultaneously and learning to do both with conscious awareness.

One of my favorite seasons to work with clients through is midlife.

It can be such a misunderstood season. There can be restlessness, questioning, grief, changing relationships and roles, and a sense that the life that once fit doesn’t quite fit in the same way anymore.

We’re quick to label this a “midlife crisis,” but I often see something else happening.

An awakening.

A time when women begin asking deeper questions about who they are now, what they want, what they’ve outgrown, and how they want to live the next chapter of their lives.

It doesn’t necessarily mean you need to blow up your life or reinvent yourself. Sometimes it means slowing down long enough to listen to what’s changing within you.

Maybe it’s not a midlife crisis. Maybe it’s a midlife awakening. ✨

The world may see me as a mother of 2, but I will always be a mother of 3. There will always be one missing that I’m carrying in my heart.

This is something many people who have never experienced pregnancy, infant, or child loss may not fully understand: we do not stop being their parents simply because they are no longer physically here.

We continue to love them. We remember them. We speak their names. We wonder who they would have become. We carry them into every season of our lives. We still parent them, just in a different way.
