Quotes
"I can see the work working... I am so much more myself, unapologetically, meaning all my feelings are gifts. All the waves of emotions that I have are welcome."
"I am absolutely unsubscribing to the narrative that it is not available to mothers to thrive."
"If you, on this Mother's Day, are feeling heaviness, grief, anger, resentment, this is your invitation to see that as the medicine, to see it as a wave."
