Magnetically You

Eight and a half months in, and I still feel like I'm getting used to the words "I'm a mom".

The early months were full of awe and magic, but then, around three months in, the emotions hit. Hard. Sadness, rage, frustration, loneliness. I felt like I was unraveling. Motherhood wasn't just about caring for a baby—it was bringing up everything in me that needed healing. The old ways I navigated life? They didn't work anymore. And for a while, that felt very disorienting.

In this episode, I'm sharing what that journey has looked like—the unraveling, the rebuilding, the moments of peace in between.

In this episode, we dive into:

✧ How motherhood brings up unprocessed emotions and old patterns

✧ The tug-of-war between motherhood, self, and relationships

✧ Overthinking, second-guessing, and learning to just let it be all good

✧ Moving through the death of your old identity

✧ Finding alignment when you don't have the time or space you once did

✧ The tangible aspects of motherhood: breastfeeding, solids, etc.

✧ Releasing the struggle and sacrifice narrative

If you're in the thick of it, wondering if you'll ever feel like you again—I see you. You're not breaking. You're just unfolding.

One of the most common questions I get from my clients is, "How do I know if it's fear or my intuition telling me not to take action?"

Many of us are taught to push through fear—"feel the fear and do it anyway." While this approach might lead to action, it often leaves us feeling drained, misaligned, and burdened with unresolved emotions. Fear, if not acknowledged and released, tends to follow us into whatever action we take, making the journey less enjoyable or even chaotic.

Instead of bulldozing through fear, there's a more effective approach that brings clarity, ease, and joy to your decisions.

In this episode, we dive into:

✧The problem with "feeling the fear and doing it anyway"

✧Signs you're operating from fear vs intuition

✧Why fear doesn't always mean something is out of alignment

✧How to find more clarity when fear is clouding your intuition

✧The power of waiting for your intuition to guide your next move

In this episode, I'm answering a question from one of my newsletter subscribers: Is alignment non-feeling? Does being in alignment mean that situations, people, or events don't bring an emotional response? I've always been confused about what being in alignment actually means.

This is such a powerful question because the concept of alignment is often misunderstood. And here's the thing—there's no black-and-white answer. I don't believe alignment is a rigid concept, where you're either "in alignment" or "out of alignment." That kind of thinking keeps us trapped in duality, which can feel sticky and restrictive. So, let's explore this from a few different angles.

In this episode, we dive into:

✧What it means to be in alignment

✧Alignment and emotional responses

✧Why alignment isn't only about feeling good and life going your way

✧Four different lenses through which to view alignment

✧A game-changing realization from my inner self
