Yes yes yes!! Oh I could have a WHOLE conversation on all of this and I feel like... because I know I won’t have any more babies... that I am so ready to embrace all the different identities I’ve always wanted to try on. I want more tattoos and more piercings... I’ve dabbled with getting lashes like you say even though I don’t put makeup on most days... but I also want to wear red lipstick on a pre school pick up and switch out the leggings and baggy jumper look for something more stylish. I love to shake things up on my life and I have felt that sense of boredom especially this year having kind of stayed on one identity since I had my first daughter in 2019. I’m so here for adventure and exploring and if my husband said to me next week let’s sell the house and explore the world in a camper van I would say... game on!! (He won’t... he is very much NOT on that wavelength). I do struggle with sometimes wanting to leap and burn things to the ground because I enjoy the newness and starting things! There are soooo many identities I feel like I’m yet to explore and that’s exciting! X

Oh Kat we are absolutely in the same boat right now!!!!!! I am not a mother but I resonate with this journey completely. Since the pandemic I have been fully nourishing my spiritual, gentle, inner resourced side -- and now I have been feeling a reawakening of my fire, venturing out into the world again, exploring my sensuality, my sexuality, my identity and everything in between. Giving myself to laugh big and love loud and just let my wild child side out again. This is true balance and the shake up our soul needs every once in a while. Thank you for the beautiful permission slip your writing always gives the rest of us 💝💋🎀☄️ I can’t wait to see what unfolds for us!!!! 🤤
