I enjoyed listening to you. So much resonates. 🙏🏾♥️ It sounds like we're on the same wavelength. 😊 You just seem to be farther along. 😉
I see mothers rising from patriarchal ashes since so many are waking up that we can no longer live and work the way past generations have done.
We can do this without sacrifice, burnout, etc. But with lots of Erotic energy (the erotic as posited by Audre Lorde in her essay The Uses of the Erotic ;)), the fire within which conceived, shaped, and gave birth to (a) whole human being(s).
We are already powerful. And together? That's something the world is about to see. 😉
Yes! Echoing back this belief that so many of us received that more success = more responsibility, so we push away the success because we don’t feel we have the capacity to respond! $$$
I’d say when I assess my body, that pattern is still operating, yes. I’m learning new ways of being and operating that make that old belief system void, and it’s a process. 💛
I absolutely resonate and love what you’re saying about the energetic contracts we have with our ideas and the creativity moving through us. I speak this way to my dreamweaver team but didn’t make the small bridge to creative energy. Yessss! Thank you Kat.
It's such a delicious space. Question...with the Thursday calls, how long are they? I would rather be on the lives but just figuring out logistics as I'm with both babes by myself that day xx
Totally! Lives go for 2 hrs. Kids are almost always welcome, there will be a couple of bits (visioning breathwork, and lotus ceremony) that you’ll likely prefer some space. Many have kids on laps or in the room x
Youuu in your fire within motherhood + creativity just gives me (and so many others) LIFE 🔥🔥 you’re a fkn queen or whatever this emoji is: 🧝🏼♀️ that’s you. Ok bye love you
I think to have a home and a loose routine (not in a different space all the time). Like i've been in survival mode without those things and to have that means our basic needs are met and I can finally let go x
Beautiful, Kat. The idea that the fear of success—or the block to success—is actually *success itself* because of the fear of not being able to hold it all, of carrying the weight of its responsibilities—that hit me hard. I’ve burned out before, over and over, so this resonated deeply. I hadn’t even realized that I might be unintentionally keeping success at arm’s length for that very reason.
Loved this short video. You speak in a lovely easy and eloquent way 🧡 I just read all about AOA and am thinking about joining. I know there’s things to come through for me creatively with writing, but fear , self doubt & not knowing how to structure myself has held me back. X.
And I’m glad you took a look through AOA. Fear and self doubt are friends here. And once they become friends they transform before you’re eyes into liberation and self confidence xxxx
Oh gosh… that’s a big question… and also while it feels like there is so much newness… nothing obvious has changed that much either!! 🤪 taking motherhood day by day with the two girls while also showing up for my creativity and community… building a studio in our garden so I can bring more in person to my heart work… trying to weave sacred into the mundane daily… how are your little ones??? X
Both boys are good. Raf started at a little nature play bush school today 2 half days a week and Ren just got over balanitis. I’m sure you had to google. Wild times being a boy mum 🤪
Studio photos I will have to dig out and share with you… it is still needing quite a bit of work but can’t wait to have that space. And yes… I dd have to google than… sounds nasty bless him!!! Vesper started at pre school for two mornings a week in January and it is really lovely… Sophia started school in September and is loving it. She is such a sponge. Both are extremley sassy and independent but while that is hard to parent I wouldn’t have it any other way!! x
Lovely to see you & hear you! Art of Alchemy sounds like a wonderful enriching container for creating, birthing or even playing in the realms of dreams & whispers. After all, out of the littlest things, the magnificent grow.
I’m still a mama but my child is a bonafide grown up. It’s funny because as I listened I identified with the shoving things down, the disregarding & the moving on past the ideas & concepts I have shelved as I busily mothered other people & their needs/projects/wishes. My son left home & I just filled the gigantic hole with other people & other people’s things. Thank you for this prompt- I needed it!! 🧡
You are always welcome to join us. The mother lines are long and never disappear. The themes morph and evolve but mother is mother. Love to you ! So good to see your name pop up here again it’s been a while since I’ve been more present in this space xx
Wow, wow, wow. This was beautiful, and lovely and fantastic. Feel all of this so deeply right now.

Yes just LOVE that you spoke into erotic energy! Crucial in my belief for a thriving mothercentric biz without burnout xx
Yes! Echoing back this belief that so many of us received that more success = more responsibility, so we push away the success because we don’t feel we have the capacity to respond! $$$
Yes! Is this in your past or something you are currently working with

So welcome. Glad you’ve found your way here ✨✨✨
I'm downloading the Substack app again after a wee break because of this video...so yes to video from me! And I'll be in touch re AOA 🤍 Love it all x
Love this!! I mean I took a hiatus too! We’re all being called back somehow

Great video really enjoyed it.

Adore you!!
Loved the video format for this sort of content!
So excited for AOA
In working out what I need to step away from to allow me to be the creative I’m wanting to be...
Yes I feel like I need to expand my capacity, which comes with our move next month.
And I think the part of me that’s overly stressed, anxious and needs to be in control needs to loosen the reigns a bit.
Xxx
Totally babe love the self reflections in this.
What would have you feel safe to let go control x
I think to have a home and a loose routine (not in a different space all the time). Like i've been in survival mode without those things and to have that means our basic needs are met and I can finally let go x
10000% and your response to it all has been totally accurate considering circumstances!

Love the video Kat & the conversation shared <3
Thank you for commenting and watching it! Xxx
Lovely to see you back here, I love a short and sweet video! Xx
Hello beautiful! So nice to see your name. Glad you’re still here xx
Yes still exploring and dancing over here with all the multi faceted pieces!! 🥰
What’s new in your world??

Need to see this studio. What a dream project!

Oooh okay! I’m going to think on this. I’m in a state of flux & needing some camaraderie & support.
Never any pressure, but please just know you are welcome if you feel the call. X
