The Kitchen Table - the place where I connect with my passion, my work, and my community.
All amongst the calm and the chaos of family life.
It's messy, it's imperfect and it's the daily realities of meeting my needs alongside my family.
Enjoy weekly stories, musings and anedotes of raising kids in emotionally attuned ways.
It’s a quick one from me this week, as we’ve been celebrating a birthday in our house, alongside becoming a mamma 8 years ago, reflecting on the journey and all the lessons that this curious, kind and sensitive soul has gifted me in 8 short years.
It’s such a wild and wondrous thing becoming a parent and my two boys have and continue to be my greatest teachers.
Leaning in to the parts of me that feel activated (on a daily basis!) overwhelmed at times holding firm and loving boundaries, and not always knowing how it’s going to turn out. Questioning and doubting if I’m doing it “the right way” or “the best way” for both of our kids.
It’s a continual internal battle, but I am getting better, more practiced at gifting myself loving compassion and grace for the messy and uncertainty in our days.
There is no certainty in parenting, in life, so all we’ve really got is the moment.
If you ever find yourself in a phase of unknown, some tricky dynamics in your family, not sure what the next best step is?
I want to remind you gently, and lovingly that you’ve got what it takes to make the next step forward. Even if it’s a teenie tiny step.
I have a tea offering to nourish the mamma’s that I’d love to share with you today.
As mamma’s I really believe we are the heartbeat of the family, the leaders who set the energetics of the home. If we are not tending to our needs, and nurturing and nourishing ourselves, it’s not so easy to pour into anyone else’s cups.
An evening with a cup of tea (or any warm beverage you desire), via Zoom, to connect, share and reflect. Come exactly as you are.
Do you know what things you do, lean in to, have in your toolbox that support you in the tough times?
Recently I’ve realised how much easier it is to care for ourselves when we’re feeling good, things are in flow.
The challenge comes when things feel tricky, there’s big behaviours and reactions (from us and our kids), we’re in a phase that feels like it will last forever! I see you, and have been here so often.
I will create and hold space for us to come together, set an intention and individually you will have the space to feel into what supports you need to fill up your cup.
There will be time to share if that feels good, I will also offer some somatic practices and tools that have supported me over the years.
Now more than ever, we need to take care of our unique nervous systems and internal worlds.
This is open for all mammas, whatever stage you are in your mothering.
The date will be confirmed, as there are a few things on the horizon in the coming two weeks, so I need to make sure the date aligns.
But stay tuned, I will share via email when the date is confirmed.
Much love from me to you xxx
Emily
