It’s been a minute…
I usually try to make a “profound year-end recap” post on my bday (which was on 8/8 so I’m only 2 weeks and a whole astrological sign late) but clearly I didn’t this year. Not because I didn’t know what to say, but because life happened and I decided to focus more on that.
This month a lot has taken place: I turned 40.(ayyyyy!)🥳I’ve had an abundance of love shown to me among the people that matter the most that I am so grateful for. I’ve gone on intergalactic healing journeys🐸. I’ve let things go that no longer light me up and am making room to explore new outlets for things that do. I’ve continued to be blessed with raising a beautiful, kind, magnificent lil being who’s evolving SO fast and teaching me SO much. I’ve taken time. Taken silence. Had emotional highs and lows. And ultimately am grateful for all of it.
So in honor of tradition…here are 4 takeaways…one for each decade I’ve been honored to be here for:
1. Writing your own life against the grain of perceived normalcy can be scary, hard, intimidating and make you second guess yourself. Do it anyway. The “norms” we’re used to ain’t it.
2. It’s ok to not fill yourself up with news & current events. It doesn’t make you less intelligent, less invested, or less caring. We where never designed to be able to withstand the influx of information and global trauma that we do. There is a GREAT need for people who can create and maintain space to serve as the refuge & recharge for the world.
3. You have time. (This doesn’t include the planet having time..we def need to fix that shit asap)
4. Find excitement & joy in discomfort…thats where the growth lies.
Thanks belated for all the 🦁♌️ Bday love!

Listen…I know parenting can be tough. Not only are we trying in real time to figure out how to best raise a constantly evolving human, but we’re also trying to simultaneously dodge/heal/integrate/identify our childhood and general life traumas and patterns in relationship to navigating this role. I will say for me the most valuable tool in healing myself while creating more effective parenting is by slowwwwinggg down. Trying my best to remove reactivity and tapping in to best understand the needs of my child steadies both of our nervous systems and allows for space of understanding and compassion. Taking the time as things unfold can save you so much more time later. So pause…breathe…listen…and move accordingly. Other things can wait a second.
📣This communication can also apply to adult relationships fyi!
Thank you @theycallmemamabennett for continuing to make beautiful and clear gentle parenting content.❤️
And parents…you’re doing the best you can with the tools you have! So keep filling that toolbox!🛠🥰

My favorite time of year is here…Fall…I 🍁you.
As soon as the first leaf comes down and I can not overly perspire in a hoody within seconds because I live in LA, the season has arrived; with it comes yard work & DIY allll dayyyy…because to keep it 💯 I’m def that lesbian.
Check out my quick lil weekend basement on a budget reno. Shoutout to Ross, OfferUp, a questionable warehouse, Home Depot, IKEA, Wayfair clearance & Urban Outfitters last call sale for making it happen.
Nothin’ a lil paint, blood, sweat, re-purposing and creativity can’t do!
Let me know your thoughts and if you’re gettin into any fun projects soon!
Happy Fall!🧡🎃🌄

As mothers and caretaking humans we spend most of our waking moments mothering everyone else. Our kids, loved ones, partners, wives, husbands, etc, but to show up for others we have to show up for ourselves.
🌱💚This is your reminder to mother yourself. 💚Mother Yourself even when it’s hard, and especially during the holidays.
I’ve always struggled with tending to my own garden…I’ve liked to be the fixer, the “strong one”, the “I’m always aiiight” one. Having a child has really shed a light on the essential element of taking a pause and refueling so I can show up as my highest version. You can be an amazing and attentive parent but just remember they’re also watching and will model the relationship you have with yourself…so care for YOU! Listen to YOU! Love on YOU! 😘

This just popped up in my memories and seemed like a good time to bring it back one time on this Friday🤎
What are you doing this weekend that is bringing you closer to your calling and/or goals?! Drop it below!
I’m renovating my basement into creative spaces for me and the fam (which is another reason I needed to post this bc it’s 100deg and this video makes me feel colder days soon come where I can wear a hoody and not be sweating my soul out using power tools)
Happy #fridayfocus !

I really appreciate when large companies prioritize the betterment of their customers, especially when it comes to underrepresented groups. #CVSPartner
@cvspharmacy recently announced its newest Women’s Health Initiative by taking a stand to show that women’s health matters by creating easier access to services and products while establishing partnerships that support a woman’s total well-being.
From mental health to menstrual health, they are reducing CVS brand period products by 25% in core CVS Pharmacy locations, are committed to price equity among products within their stores, and are providing easier and broader reaching health coverage for women through its MinuteClinic.
Check out the link in my bio for more important details to read all the steps they are committed to making! #HealthierHappensTogether #HereforHer
I am so happy to be #sponsored by a brand that I so truly align with and legit use on the daily.🌍💛 (And you don’t need to be a Mom/parent to love & use them)
I try to be very mindful about what goes IN my body, and during pregnancy it was even more at the forefront of every meal, sip, & snack I got into…which was many. But it’s not just what goes in your body…it’s also very much what goes ON it.
❗️❗️Did you know companies can put any of 3,000 chemicals in their products and hide them under the term fragrance?!😳🤯
That was a hardddd nahhhh for me.🚫
@earthmamaorganics was something I found before Mecca arrived and I’ve stuck with them in basically every genre they carry. The diaper balm is THE ONLY one I use and I swear by it. Trust me. This matters😳💩
They’re organic, natural, and solely use essential oils…no surprises here.
