Let’s be clear, motherhood is not the thief of our wild soul skin!
It
is the external patriarchal constructs that no longer honour the
massive feat it is to be reborn as a mother. They steal our ability to
fully integrate and alchemise our past, present and future selves as
both woman/womxn AND mother! No longer one without the other.
.
Our
inability to surrender to the presence required to nourish and care for
our babies without the village we once had, with the constant pressure
of finances, work pressure, body image pressure, looking young, being
able to be everything to everyone but never feeling enough let alone
honouring our own needs (insert mother guilt and chronic martyrdom
archetypes) is what removes us further away from our spirit and wild
self.
.
Motherhood is the magical phase that transforms us on a
cellular level. What is asked of us is beyond anything we could ever
comprehend we were capable of. It shows us how powerful and strong we
really are and shows us love more infinite than was ever conceivable. It
is a time of presence where we do leave our soul/seal skin to give all
that we have to nourish our offspring. But motherhood is not meant to be
a sacrifice of our spirit self forever! And we are wired to parent as a
collective, not in isolation where we cannot return to our wild spirit
self to refill and prevent drying out.
.
Many mothers feel that
they are losing themselves to motherhood, and then after their children
have grown they feel lost and unable to find their spirit that was
stolen from them decades before. Women are innately creative beings, we
need to keep creating and birthing well beyond the motherhood phase!
.
Despite
our ageing phases not being valued or honoured by this culture, the
transition beyond motherhood is where we can reconnect with our creative
seeds and nurture them to fruition. We can prevent losing ourselves and
our soul skin by reconnecting with our creativity and honouring the
gifts of each and every phase.
.
Motherhood does not steal your
spirit, our external world wants to keep you small and refuses to revere
your gifts as they should be because they know how powerful you really
are!
Do you?

Motherhood is not the thief of your identity…
