You can't choose both
Yes you fucking can. Choices are portals.
Hey friends,
This week we had cyclone warnings in our home town.
Sir Alfred making his way down the coast and predicted to hit our front door.
We looked around at our tiny house and contemplated our desire to sit through a category 2 cyclone in our little glass box, potentially flooded roads in and out, and two kids with big wild energy… and figured it would be 10/10 more fun to kiss the tiny house goodbye, hope for the best, and hit the road up the coast to chase the sunshine.
After narrowly missing a large car accident involving us and two semi trailer trucks going at 110km p/h, I felt as though the concept of quantum immortality may actually be a thing, and I had, in fact just jumped timelines to keep on living my life… we ended up in a tiny little coastal bush town called Agnes Water and 1770. Captain James Cook must have been feeling lazy by this point and figured it’s best to name a town after the year he found it rather than “Eden Beach” or something more appropriate to the beauty of this place.
We had days of sunshine and Raf (almost 5) learned to surf for the first time. We are walking around sandy and salty, while watching disaster strike friends further south (feeling lucky Sir Alfred missed our tiny, but unfortunately hit friends south of Brisbane/ gold coast/ the Northern Rivers harder).
This leads me to a conversation around Duality, choice and both-ness.
I’m interested in taking you along with some of the conversations occurring within my Art of Alchemy program right now -
If you’re new here, or wanting to be updated on the evolution of this substack space for the Mother Makers… my intention is for this to truly become (and is already becoming) a community hub for the Witchy mamas, who like to make money, be creative, be attuned to their kids, and want to smoosh all the multifaceted intuitive parts of themselves together rather than existing in boxes. Many think I talk about the creative process and soulful business - But if you’re still separating creativity from sex, Money from your relationships, and parenting from your ideas and business… then I’m extra glad you’re here.
My program is in full swing, having just completed week two where we dived into quantum physics.
One aspect of this conversation that came up with the hundreds of mothers working with me right now - is the confusion that can come from having a pretty good life - so how on earth do you reach for more without guilt, without shame, or without pressure.
I had one mama open a question around her partner being a provider right now and wants her to take a look around how good a simple life is - and that they don’t need to go after bigger dreams together. He can’t understand why on earth she may want more, because what they have is beautiful.
And yet… The womb swirls.
The vortex pulses.
Because she knows- there is more to this experience.
But does wanting more, disregard what you have? How do we create space for both?
Because let me tell you right now-
The first chapter of this story is truly, deep in your bones, with every breath moving past the ribcage, with every hip sway - swirling the energy of your womb… Is knowing that you can live within the duality of both.
Of loving your life as it is right now.
and
Calling more from it, calling it’s evolution. Calling in the human experience.
It’s not greedy.
You are not being ungrateful.
You are not asking for too much.
You are not in split focus.
If anything you are moving past barriers many women have had forever.
The idea that you are limited in desire, limited in your ability to request for what you want - or even limited in your allowance of “wants” in the first place.
Need less.
Be less.
Be more digestible.
Easy to handle.
You know this path.
- No, this isn’t about to be a hardcore feminist speech, but we are going to unpack why we limit ourselves not only as women, but as mothers… and some practical ways to begin allowing ourselves to dream differently…
therefore move differently in our lives.
with a bit more “aliveness” in our pelvic bowl,
and lead ourselves while open to opportunity.
Let’s begin. ..
