Mama Musings
BUILDING VILLAGE
There’s a quiet belief that creeps into motherhood—that there’s a right way to do this. It shows up in small moments: at the doctor’s office, in family conversations, on social media. Suddenly, the deeply sacred act of raising a child becomes something to prove. Our choices become measuring sticks. But the issue isn’t the choices—it’s what we do with them. At Embodied Mama, we believe every mother’s journey is sacred.
HOLDING ALL OF YOU
Motherhood stirs the unseen parts.
It calls us to meet ourselves with curiosity, not critique.
To tend to the child within as much as the child before us.
In this blog, we explore what archetypes really are,
how they mirror our inner world,
and how our guides walk you through a gentle process of
Awaken → Tend → Compost → Root.
NAVIGATING THE BREASTFEEDING JOURNEY
Breastfeeding wasn’t part of the language I grew up with — it lived in the shadows, quietly misunderstood. When I became a mother, I had to reclaim what was once lost to disconnection and rediscover it through pain, grace, and the hands of those who believed in me. This is a story of nourishment — not just of my babies, but of myself — and the unexpected ways we heal through one another.
A MAMA’S TALE: MY BREASTFEEDING JOURNEY
Two babies. Ten years apart. Two entirely different beginnings — one shaped by medical crisis, the other by deep trust in my body. My journey through breastfeeding has been anything but linear. It’s been marked by grief, growth, and grace. This is a story about letting go of control, embracing what is, and honoring both the mother I was and the one I’ve become.
PRESENT OVER PERFECT
In a world that tells us to do more, motherhood invites us to simply be. This piece is a gentle reminder that presence — not perfection — is what our children crave most. If you’ve ever wrestled with feelings of “not enoughness,” this one’s for you. Let’s explore how slowing down, softening expectations, and reclaiming the sacred in the everyday can transform our experience of mothering.
RITUAL AND THE MOON
The moon offers us more than light — it offers rhythm, reflection, and remembrance. In this blog, we explore how Full Moon rituals, embodiment practices, and intuitive tools like the Embodiment Deck can help us reconnect with our bodies, honor our inner cycles, and move through growth and release with grace. A sacred invitation to slow down, listen, and come home to the wisdom that lives within.
LIVING NOURISHED
What if the secret to lasting results isn’t more restriction, but more regulation? In this blog, we explore why stress — not just food — determines your body’s response to change, and how nourishing your metabolism through blood sugar balance, rest, and self-love creates sustainable results. A refreshing alternative to diet culture, rooted in science, compassion, and body wisdom.
EXPLORING DESIRES
Beneath the rhythms of motherhood lives a quiet hum — the voice of your own longings, asking to be heard. This week-long journey is an invitation to turn inward, tend to your inner landscape, and reconnect with the desires that make you feel most alive. Through reflection, ritual, and reverence, may you rediscover the dreams tucked quietly within.
