Andrea Bordeaux Instagram – The first 5-7 years of a child’s development are the most important, as it is during this time that their sense of self and how they will choose to show up in the world is established.
They learn by observing and absorbing their environment, most importantly, the behaviors, actions, and treatment of their parents.
As a mother, you are the physical representation of God, The Divine Feminine, The Great Mother to your daughter-child. You are the source from which she originates, and the example that you embody will become encoded into her consciousness, expressing itself through her in a multitude of ways.
By the time she becomes a young teen, beginning her first rites of passage into what will eventually become Womanhood, it will be very challenging to correct any false conditioning that she has internalized due to what was modeled to her.
For better or worse, the type Woman that she becomes is directly correlated to the type Woman that you embody.
But it is never too late, because as daughters, we never stop observing our mothers. We never stop wanting more for her, we never stop craving her true essence.
Regardless of the example you have consciously or unconsciously molded your daughter through, you have the ability to rise and show a new example of resilience, grace, and a depth of self love that has the power to change the trajectory of your entire family.
That is how powerful and essential the Woman, the Mother, is.
And even if you have never or will never birth a child, these precious girls are all of our daughters, we owe them the chance to be their fullest selves, and they can only learn to do that through our example.
They are watching us and depending on us to lead them with bravery and love.
Let us choose to become more so that our daughters learn to live lives with no limits on who they can become.

This delightful video is from last summer, when I was honored to teach the Moon Beams, girls entering the earliest stages of young adulthood, the power of boundaries and self-love.
This rites of passage program is curated and brilliantly led by Lena Eastes of @earthpatheducation at the annual @spiritweavers gathering in Oregon.
