Hey, I'm Amanda
I offer families trauma-trained nervous system support to
create more positive behavior outcomes

It's time to remember what this is all about...
✹ Parenting is a relationship not a job: reciprocity over hierarchy.
✹ Your children come through you, they don’t belong to you. It’s the parent's gift to see them and guide them towards the truest version of themselves.
✹ The world is hard. We need to soften to it, not armor against it.
✹ Safety and connection with our kids comes through body awareness, thought awareness, and nervous system flexibility.
✹ We are here to feel, but not let our thoughts about our feelings dictate our choices - you are a cycle breaker.
✹ Each generation is here to heal what came before. You are a healer and that healing starts with yourself.
Claire, London
“I felt more in control as I have something I can turn to when I feel overwhelmed or stressed. This has had a positive affect on my responses with my children, my husband and my work role. Ive felt I've been able to connect more and I’ve felt warmer, more loving feelings more of the time.”
My Story
Meet Amanda Ashy
Creating calmer, happier, stronger families!
I am a cycle breaker. I believes our generations greatest calling is to parent our children differently. I has 15 years experience as a holistic clinical nutritionist, and nearly a decade as a certified and trauma-trained mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and somatics coach. I am currently a student practitioner in Myofascial Energetic Release bodywork.
Born into a Catholic, Lebanese family, in a small town in the Deep South of America, I uprooted in my early 20s and moved to Los Angeles, where I worked as a TV producer for five years, before moving to London, UK. After a few years working in British telly, I realized my TV career wasn't fulfilling, so I leapt into the wellness world and I've been making profound impact in family's lives since then.
I am a nervous system regulation authority, supporting parents to understand and help change challenging behaviors in their kids and themselves. This includes taking steps away from the authoritarian parenting tactics, to a mindful, conscious way of parenting and disciplining children. I support children and families with many different needs including trauma, Autism, ADHD, PDA, anxiety, confidence, resilience, academic pressure, emotional literacy, self-regulation, divorce/co-parenting and more.
I have worked with thousands of children and young people across the globe supporting their physical, mental and emotional health, incorporating strategies and protocols to help modify behavior, increase resilience and teach children how to be calmer, happier and stronger in the family home and the classroom.
I've worked closely with SENCO departments in primary schools across London, UK for many years, supporting high needs, vulnerable children, teachers and parents. I also delivered Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP) 12 week in-class mindfulness curriculum for KS2 and created a bespoke yoga curriculum for KS1, which I taught for over five years in the education system.
I am a certified Safe and Sound Protocol provider, which is a therapeutic intervention that works directly with the nervous system and social engagement system. I'm the creator of The Parent Reset Program, and Mindful Parenting Transformation, private online workshops that support parents to understand behavior, emotional triggers, and self-regulation skills, using my foundational, evidence based teaching, the 4Cs: curiosity, co-regulation, connection and compassion.
If you're a mother, wanting to understand modern motherhood, release tension and stress, and reclaim your motherly intuition, check out my membership Motherhood Rising Collective here.

I know. I live it too, just like you.
Presence starts in the body — the body is always in the now.
Feeling your feet on the ground is a simple way to return to your body and presence. To pause. To meet your child from a steadier place.
You don’t have to feel calm — just connected.
Inside the membership, Motherhood Rising Collective, we practice these quiet, powerful ways of returning to ourselves — so we can show up with more capacity and less overwhelm.
What people are saying:
“Motherhood Rising Collective has really helped me in finding my voice to speak out in a more calm and confident way to support my family.
Thank you Amanda 🙏 I’m so grateful to be on this journey with you all x”
“That was wonderful yesterday. I started my day with a foot massage again and feel much more grounded getting up. Discovered that the fatty pad is the area for the lower back in reflexology, so will be spending a lot of time massaging my fatty pads 😂”
“It’s super surreal how parallel the themes of MRC are with my life experiences and personal explorations with my osteopath. I’ll be playing today’s session again each day and hopefully easing into the root of this issue.”
You don’t have to figure it out alone.

The temptation is to react from fear of losing control—to push back, lecture, shame or punish.
It’s hard to remember, their reactions aren’t about you.
They’re trying to separate and figure out where you end and they begin.
Their brain is remodeling and preparing them to “leave the family home.”
So they need to push you and your authority away, to find and protect their sense of self.
They’re holding a boundary but don’t yet know how to communicative that nicely.
You get to model that.
When we take it slowly, pause amongst the teens ugliness, and take it down to presence rather than up to control, that creates the space you need to find clarity about your needs and their needs in that moment.
When we zoom out and allow their reactions to be our teachers, we start to understand them better—and we can see the version of themselves they're trying to create or protect.
Meet their needs while holding boundaries in a way that feels collaborative and safe.
Book a FREE Discovery Call and let’s figure out modern day parenting together!


It’s often your body remembering what used to feel overwhelming — the emotions you had to tuck away, the needs that went unmet, the safety that wasn’t always there.
Parenting brings those old patterns to the surface. Not because you’re doing it wrong — but because you’re doing something new.
This is the invisible work so many parents are doing: Noticing what’s yours. Staying present with what’s theirs. And slowly, gently, building the capacity to hold both.
You don’t have to do that alone.
Join me inside a gentle, mindful 1-2-1 parent coaching container and transform your reactions into meaningful responses by using my 4Cs foundational formula for mindful parenting.
Or, be a part of the sanctuary for mothers Motherhood Rising Collective, where we slow this process down together — with grounded tools and steady support for your nervous system, your needs, and your healing.
DM 'INFO' and I’ll send you info for both of these options!
With love,
Amanda


The uncertainty of their reactions or not knowing how to support them, can throw you off your center.
➡️ My two kids are very different:
One needs agency and gives me tons of resistance which can make me feel uncertain on how to hold boundaries, the other is highly sensitive and hyper-aroused and holding her needs, needs a lot of grounding on my part.
One small place to start: come back to your feet.
Notice the ground under you.
Let your body feel the support that’s already there.
This doesn’t solve everything — but it gives your nervous system an anchor when the moment feels too big.
If you want more support with grounding, co-regulation, and staying steady through the hard moments, I’d love to work alongside you.
Come join me in 1:1 coaching container for personal empowerment as a woman, or for guidance as a mother. OR you can hop inside the membership — Motherhood Rising Collective.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Less reactivity,, more connection
It’s not just about managing emotions—it’s about transforming the emotional landscape, of the whole family.
I work with the nervous system and fascia in all of my work.
The nervous system is your memory, reactivity, responsiveness, and basically how your body functions autonomically.
Fascia is not just structural; it’s sensory and deeply intelligent.
Fascia holds onto tension and unprocessed stress, often from past experiences, including early parenting challenges, birth trauma, or even our own childhoods. This is a reason why changing behavior in yourself and your children takes time and practice.
When fascia is tight or restricted, it can amplify our emotional reactivity—making it harder to stay calm or present with our children.
By gently working with the nervous system and fascia, we help the body release these stored patterns, create more ease and more spaciousness in our emotional responses.
This is exactly what we do in our Monday morning, Serenity Sessions, inside Motherhood Rising Collective, and one of the many ways that I support parents to understand their behavior and how to connect more deeply with their children to change their child's behavior inside the family home.

Thank you to @nisarga8 for being such an incredible, compassionate, heart led leader. Next training is November, 2025 🤲🏽

When we’re in a fear or protection state, it doesn’t mean we don’t love our children — it means our loving actions have been hijacked by the threat we’re feeling in that moment.
Parenting from fear doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent. It means your nervous system has been trying to manage overwhelm the only way it knew how: through control, compliance, or withdrawal.
But there’s another way — one rooted in love, awareness, and connection.
Mindful parenting isn’t about being calm all the time or getting everything right.
It’s about building safety, staying connected, and growing your capacity to hold hard moments with more compassion and clarity — for your child and yourself.
If you want to stop reacting in ways that don’t feel like you — and start building more space between trigger and response — I can help you get there

Motherhood was never meant to be an experience in silo.
Motherhood was never meant to be about the practical, transactional BS.
The constant mental load. The quiet work of holding everyone’s needs. The pressure to stay calm, steady, and present — while so much rests on you.
Of course your body feels tense. Of course your mind is reactive. Of course it all feels harder than it should.
Real support doesn’t ask you to do more. It meets you where you are — in what you’re already managing.
If you’re ready to feel more supported alongside mother’s just like you — I’ve got space for you.
Come join me in my 1-2-1 container, OR in my membership alongside a community of mother’s seeking the support they need.
Let's make Motherhood transformational, like it's designed to be.
DM YES for info for both of these options 🤎


This shows a readiness and willingness to engage with the world, but also a tendency to overextend or give energy away.
Maybe this is why I'm so exhausted by 7pm.
Maybe this is why I have a tendency to be grabby —
I need a lot because I'm giving away a lot, physically, emotionally and energetically.
So, I'm working on readjusting my physical posture, starting with my feet and grounding because as a Mother, I need to be open but also steady in my boundaries. And my energy needs containment, so my children trust me as their safe leader.
How grounded are you?

I think after 7 years, we might be a solid blend ❤️

That reaction isn’t a failure. It’s a sign your nervous system is stretched beyond capacity.
Blame won’t fix that. Support will.
The kind that helps you slow down enough to actually feel what’s happening.
The kind that offers connection instead of judgment.
The kind that supports emotional regulation without perfection.
That’s the work I do with mothers.
We look beneath the surface — not just at the moments you “lose it,” but at what’s driving them. The pressure.
The patterns.
The places where you never felt safe to feel.
Together, we build something steadier. Nervous system support that makes space for you — your emotions, your story, your needs.
Because you deserve to feel supported, not just functional. Safe, not just strong.
If this speaks to you, I’d love to support you — whether in a 1-2-1 coaching session, my group membership space, or a message in your inbox.
You’re not alone in this.

When your system is holding too much, the smallest thing can feel like too much.
That’s not a flaw — it’s a signal.
Your nervous system is asking for relief, not more pressure.
This is the real work: Building the capacity to meet the stresses of your day with less reactivity and more flexibility.
Not perfectly — just with enough regulation to stay in connection with yourself and your child.
You don’t need to be harder on yourself. You need more room to breathe.
Let’s start there.

Always.
As an anchor, we can always come to the body and draw nourishment because the body is always grounded to the physical earth. And this connection for humans and nature is divine. And I don’t use that word lightly.
Our connection to nature is sacred.
It’s essential.
We are not part of nature.
We ARE nature...
"Nature does’t have stored trauma. Nature heals and transmutes all the time. Humans in our separation from nature have learned to store trauma. So that’s our responsibility." Dr Zach Bush
In Serenity Sessions this morning, we connected to the divine nature of our nervous system and fascia using our feet to root down, find stability and nourish ourselves through the energy of being physically grounded.

When you’re mothering a neurodivergent child — especially without proper support — even the simplest tasks can feel impossible.
And the shame that comes from appearing lazy or being blamed by the education institution only adds to the overwhelm.
Let’s be clear: This isn’t a personal failure. It’s a call for rest, care, and community.
You’re not lazy. You’re surviving.
Most of the mothers inside my membership are parenting neurodivergent kids.
Our group space is a safe place for them to feel seen, heard and supported.
If you’re a mother of a neurodivergent child and would like to join the membership DM me for the first two months for FREE.

When your body hits its limit, it reacts.
Not because you’re shit at being a parent — but because as humans we all have a unique capacity to hold stress.
This isn’t about getting it all right. It’s about understanding what led you there…And meeting that place with care instead of shame.
Working with your nervous system doesn’t mean you’ll never lose it ⬇️
It means
👉🏽 You’ll start to feel steadier 👉🏽 Repair gets easier 👉🏽 The guilt doesn’t stick the same way
👉🏽 You build your capacity to hold stress
You’re not wrong or bad.
Neither is your child. You’ve just been doing too much, for too long without emotional safety and connection.
Let’s start there.
Come nourish yourself with safety and connection inside⬇️

That’s why the work isn’t about more self-control. It’s about more connection to yourself.
Noticing what’s happening in your body.
Learning how to come back to yourself — again and again through pausing, presence and curiosity.
👉🏽 This allows us to choose relationship rather than reprimanding.
👉🏽 It allows us to choose connection over coercion.
👉🏽 It allows us to respond instead of react.
The yelling doesn’t stop because you try harder. It stops because you feel safer and connected.
When we work together, we practice pausing, presence, developing curiosity, connection and safety. You start to notice and name your emotions, and model that to your children. You learn that sometimes silence is the best tool you can use.
You don’t have to hold it all together on your own.
Shift from yelling to connection—starting with you.

So remember, the sharp tone and shitty reactive moment you wish you could take back— it was a stress response — your body doing what it’s wired to do under pressure.
But the feelings you have about your reaction afterwards is your message that you’re ready to train your nervous system to do things differently.
It’s about capacity.
Your nervous system is carrying too much and hasn’t been taught how to reset.
Regulation doesn’t start with willpower or patience— it starts with awareness and presence.
With understanding your body, finding the pause, and building safety from the inside out.
👉🏽You’re ready for change — your feelings have told you that already. Listen to them.
Let’s support your nervous system and allow that to wake up the parent you who is already inside of you!
DM FAMILY and we can connect 🤲🏽

It can goes badly for us, when we demand they do as we say because we take away their sense of agency, which can make them feel an internal rage because their choice has been taken.
When kids feel backed into a corner, they push back—they're not being difficult, it’s self-protection.
My eldest is has a huuuuuuuuuuge need for agency, and I’m still learning how to be the parent she needs, with this quality inside of her.
Offering choice gives her a sense of agency while still holding the boundary.
They will need time to process the choice, so please stay regulated and be patient. We can’t then demand they decide straight away, because again, that’s taking away their choice.
It’s not about control; it’s about connection.

This is something that humans had profoundly in their lives throughout evolution: connection to spirit, nature, each other. We've lost it since the Industrial Revolution. And we need it back because connection is an essential need, just like food is for our physical body.

On the back of ADOLESCENCE, deeper spiritual connection to ourselves as parents, and deeper connection to our children, is how we keep their young minds steady and stable.
This is based on Dr. Lisa Miller’s The Awakened Brain, and how we become more resilient to the pressures of the modern world.
Compliance might look like cooperation, but true commitment to family values comes from feeling seen, heard, and understood.

Today’s Serenity Session focused on our lower back and spine and the feelings associated with this area: stability, safety, creativity and pleasure.
Emotional regulation doesn’t just support you to move through the heavy, hard emotions like anger, fear, guilt, shame, it also helps you to feel the high vibe emotions like pleasure, creativity, safety, so working through the tension in your lower back, which governs stability, safety, creativity, and pleasure, can help you resolve the heavy emotions by lessening the rigidity in this area so we can flow with creativity, pleasure and vitality.
✨ Stored Stress & Suppressed Emotions – Your lower back holds fear, financial stress, and the burden of responsibilities. Holding this in your lower back can lead to overwhelm and exhaustion.
✨ Disconnection from Feminine Flow – The lower back holds our sacred sacral center which is home to the beautiful feminine qualities of creativity, intuition, and self-nurturing. Tightness here can make you feel drained, stagnant and disconnected from creativity, sensuality and pleasure.
✨ Nervous System Overload – Chronic tension signals stress to your nervous system, making it harder to stay calm, patient, and emotionally regulated—especially in motherhood.
Next Serenity Session is April 7th, moved to 7:15am during Easter break. Perfect time to give it a go!

Your history, childhood, nervous system patterns, mental and emotional states, nourishment, emotional intelligence, and communication skills—this is what allows knowledge to become action.
Inner work gives you the power to navigate challenges without threats, conditions, or punishments—even in moments of dysregulation.
It turns knowledge into wisdom.
Because you’re not just learning—you’re applying.
You’ve explored your patterns, understood your emotional triggers, and learned to attune to your nervous system. So now, instead of reacting, you can respond with presence.
You pause.
You’re present.
You engage my foundational teaching the 4Cs:
Curiosity, Co-regulation, Connection, and Compassion.
And because you trust yourself, your child feels safe enough to trust you.
This is how we create true change.
This is true discipline.
This is why I guide parents in nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and connection—because shifting your responses is what transforms their behavior. 💛

Mothers hold the invisible burden inside the family home.
Not only to they do 40% more housework and childcare, but they also:
- understand their child's needs
- listen to the podcast and read the books
- advocate in the school system
- manage 40 WhatsApp groups
This morning, we did a somatic centering practice, sensing into the length, width and depth of our heart space and connecting to the energy of this area—the thoracic cavity: the spine, heart, lungs, and ribs.
We felt into the affirmation:
'My spine holds me, my heart guides me'
We allowed vulnerability in supported fish pose, and we finished with heart coherent breathing.
Such a nourishing half hour.
Push back against a society that demands you do it all, without receiving anything in return.
Say yes to honoring your needs as a woman and a mother give yourself space to heal and grow.

But when you push it down, mask it or avoid, it’s sitting there waiting to explode out of you at some other point….and you don't get to choose when that happens.
Same with kids—I’m sure many parents have witnessed the post-school masking meltdowns.
And how many of you have been frustrated with your partner, and then lashed out at your children?
If you allow yourself to feel, acknowledge, and let the emotion settle, rather than sitting in the story that your thoughts are creating, you're practicing emotional regulation.
AND you’re clearing energy so it doesn’t explode on someone who doesn’t deserve it.
When you actually tune into what you're feeling, if can clear in 60-90 seconds. That's the average trajectory of an emotion. Try it!
And the more you’re able to do this with your own emotions, the more you’re able to do it for your child’s emotions.
And here’s the magic:
When a child feels emotionally safe—even when they’re being little a-holes, their nervous system settles. Behavior shifts. Connection deepens.

You might even feel scared by it.
And I promise, they feel scared by it too.
So as the parent, as the leader, you want to hold a different energy.
Because anger isn’t something to shut down; it’s something to understand. 💛
What if, instead of matching their energy by
shouting

you pause, stop talking, witness, get curious and be open for connection.
What if you could hold space for their anger without letting it take over?
When you can regularly respond to your child’s anger in a way that creates connection, emotional safety and trust, over time, the anger will soften.

When we require nothing, and share space and co-regulate with them, it's amazing how close that can bring them to you.
In this moment here, I took my lunch up to her room. She was on her phone, on YouTube, and although that activated me because I despise YouTube shorts, I said nothing. I joined her. I ate my lunch. And connected gently through touch. A few minutes later, she asked for a bite of my lunch and that opened up a conversation...
10 minutes later, when she was downstairs (still on YouTube shorts) we carried on talking. As she was leaving, I gave her two choices for how she can move away from shorts and do something differently, and she complied.
Connection brings compliance without the negative interaction.

My youngest wanted to wear the lighter one for her school trip but my eldest refused to comply. She didn’t care that it was a one-off request — it’s her coat and she’s wearing it.
The pull to convince my eldest was strong - I really wanted her to understand the logic of the situation and be more compassionate.
But I had to let it go because trying to convince was creating more resistance.
It’s not my place to demand she let her sister borrow her coat— that is a negotiation between the two of them. After all, she had already done her sister a favor and turned her bedroom light off and tidied her bed on her way downstairs.
So, instead of negotiating I did this:
👉🏽Paused & regulated – my nervous system sets the tone. If I’m dysregulated, they’ll feel it. I let go of the outcome and focused on grounding myself by sitting on the floor, next to the youngest.
👉🏽Acknowledged the situation perspective – I know you were told to do something (the teacher asked they bring a coat to fit in their backpack) and you feel uncomfortable that it’s not working out.
👉🏽Held space, not control – Instead of forcing agreement, I let the eldest get on - she is a strong character and requires a lot of agency. She will show her caring, empathetic nature on her terms, and the rest will come as she matures. I can’t fix or change her response, so I show her that I understand and model empathy in my own way.
👉🏽Offered choice— let my youngest know that even though it’s not working out, she has alternatives but she was massively activated so mostly I just co-regulated with her in silence.
As I was leaving, hugged and kissed my eldest and said thank you again to her for her kind gesture to her sister earlier because it’s important that kids know even when they’re not doing what we think they should, they’re still loved.
When we focus on connection over control, we’re showing great leadership skills and they are paying attention, so it matters.

That wasn’t okay with her…
It created a huge stress response, and she reacted with an emphatic NO, gave me an ultimatum, and was on the verge of tears - while also being super sweet and saying ‘not to sound rude.’
The pushback and ultimatum triggered me, even though she’s the sweetest thing when she’s resistant. I tried to hold the line and explain she can choose one of the two options we have because I made a special trip to get them....
And then I paused.
I attuned to the child in front of me, and realized how this sandwich f**k up is literally as unbearable as a punch to her face, so I shifted my rigidity, offered emotional safety and we’re getting a different sandwich.
As parents, we often worry that changing our mind gives our child power or that we’re teaching them the wrong lesson.
But lessons aren’t learned through rigidity.
What is my child learning from me being flexible?
She learned understanding, listening, empathy and compassion.
Pausing, reconsidering, and adapting when we realize we’ve missed something doesn’t undermine your authority—it strengthens your connection.

And what might seem counterintuitive is if you're going to be the strong modern day mother that is demanded of you, you can't be rigid.
We can't have a rigid spine.
Rigidity is tense, fixed, immovable.
We need fluidity, flexibility, softness because that's what helps us to regulate our nervous system, so we can be the pillar of the family, and one that radiates openness, curiosity and connection for our frazzled, dysregulated children.
This week in Serenity Sessions, we worked with the strong energetic qualities of the spine and learned how to attune to and acknowledge the softness in those strong qualities:
- determination
- strength
- trust
So when you’re being battered down by the relentless demands of the modern world, remember you have a spine. You stand tall. You find that higher perspective. And you move forward with determination, strength, and trust.
Next Serenity Session:
Monday 17th (my birthday 🍀♓️) 6:15-6:45am
We continue with the spine: neck, throat, vagus nerve

Our indomitable hero, Jack Shepherd, delivers a powerful mantra that embodies his very essence—
He says, ‘Live together, die alone.’
It made me think about Mothering, about our shared experience of Motherhood, and how I want and need people by my side.
Fierce, courageous women who show up, not just for themselves but for each other.
I’ve heard the same call, many times, from the hundreds of mothers I’ve worked with—a deep need for true togetherness, for solidarity, for the kind of support that lifts us up and reminds us that we’re not just here to get through life. We’re here to live it, fully.
And I agree.
I don’t want to do it alone, anymore.
I want to rise up.
I want to lead and be led by other courageous women who are ready to take action, remember who we are as Mothers and make living for ourselves and our children meaningful AND magnificent.
Because that’s what Mothering is, a magnificent journey of the human spirit.
So, here we are.
Motherhood Rising Collective is a sanctuary where we finally live, thrive, heal, seek truth and certainty together.
We LIVE together, we RISE together!
Next Serenity Session is Monday, 10th 6:15-6:45am, as part of Motherhood Rising Collective.

These nagging pressures and the stress of modern motherhood is reshaping our body for protection.
We experience a bowing forward, a caving in from the demands of life.
The spine is not just a structural pillar; it is a dynamic, fluid system that directly influences our emotional and mental capacity.
When the fascia surrounding the spine becomes sticky and rigid from the day to day stress, trauma, or habitual postural imbalances, movement becomes restricted and these patterns can lead to mental and emotional guarding or rigidity.
In today’s Serenity Session, I noticed tightness around my lower back, so I’ll bring that awareness into my day and continue to release it and nourish my nervous system as a result of it.
Flexible spine — flexible mind.
Next opportunity to join the Serenity Sessions inside Motherhood Rising Collective is Monday 10th March at 6:15am.

It makes you shrink.
It pulls your shoulders forward.
It makes it harder to breathe.
It’s makes sense that the body feels tight, contracted, and depleted.
But here’s the thing—your body can also bring you back.
Back to presence.
Back to yourself.
This is why we have a spine—not just for structure, but as a reminder.
✨ Lengthen it, and you reconnect with the present.
✨ Twist, and you cultivate flexibility—physically and emotionally.
✨ Move, and you release stagnation, inviting energy back in.
✨ Expand, and you create space—not just in your posture, but in your heart and mind.
On Monday, March 3rd, at 6:15 AM, I’m leading a 30-minute Serenity Session, all about the spine.
Sometimes, simply bringing awareness to your spine is enough to shift your entire state.
And when you change your state, you change your story.
Tend to yourself before tending to everyone else.

These patterns often run on autopilot, making it difficult to recognize and change them because they’ve been ingrained over years of habitual response 🫶🏼
Reparenting helps bring these unconscious patterns to light, so we can create more intentional ways of understanding our (and our children’s) behaviors and how we show up for ourselves and our children.
I am thrilled to have @drjennypsychologist leading this masterclass, which will aim to offer more depth around what ‘reparenting and cycle breaking’ are, while showing how these ways of being can bring personal and familial transformation.

I know it must have been hard for him to move towards that state of humility and take responsibility, after all of those years.
It meant a lot ✨
There’s always time...
...prolonged disconnection can create shame and humiliation which is no good for the child’s growing sense of self 🤲🏽
If showing remorse gives your child more worth, trust and love in themselves, isn’t that a cycle worth breaking?
All cycle breakers welcomed inside🔻

Respect from your child isn’t demanded—it’s mirrored. Modeling respect for your child starts with how you interact with them and the world around you.
Here’s how you can embody respectful parenting from a mindful perspective:
1. Listen with Presence – Give your child your full attention when they speak. This teaches them that their voice matters.
2. Speak with Kindness – Use gentle, respectful words, even in moments of frustration. Your tone becomes their inner voice.
3. Honor Their Boundaries – Just like adults, children deserve personal space and autonomy. Respecting their “no” teaches them to respect others’ boundaries too.
4. Apologize When Necessary – If you lose your patience, model humility by saying, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have spoken that way.” This shows them that respect includes accountability. DON'T include a 'but...' because that discounts the remorse 🫶🏼
5. Treat Others with Respect – Whether it’s your partner, a stranger, a teacher, another child or their parents - children learn respect by watching how you treat and speak about everyone around you.
6. Validate Their Feelings – Even if you don’t agree, acknowledging their emotions (“I see that you’re upset”) teaches them that their feelings are valid and worthy of respect.
7. Guide Without Controlling – Rather than forcing compliance, invite cooperation through connection and understanding.
When children feel respected, they naturally mirror that respect back to you and others. 💛✨

I've worked for years to develop my skills of awareness and self-regulation, so I can notice my trigger and respond with connection instead of reaction 💛
Mindful, compassionate parenting invites us to pause, breathe, and ask: Am I reacting from my history or responding to my child’s present need?
When I choose awareness over autopilot, connection wins.

Our children need our love the most when they’re struggling—when big emotions take over, when mistakes happen, when they push us away.
These are the moments to lean in with presence, curiosity and connection. Because love is not a reward; it’s the foundation. 💫

Yet, you feel frazzled, alone, confused, longing, disconnected, and unsure of how to meet the needs of your family because you can’t find a way to break the cycle of chaos, guilt, overwhelm, and self-doubt.
The inner- critic is constantly telling you “Why can’t I figure this out?”— and motherhood can leave you questioning why you’re a mother at all.
Is it you?
Is it them?
Why is it so hard??
It’s hard because there’s too much noise and not enough peace.
There’s too much giving and not enough devotion to Self.
There’s too much oppression keeping you from the intuitive motherly wisdom already inside of you.
Intuition.
This is your gift.
The Mother is one of the many sacred roles that women are privileged to step into; it’s your birthright to be in this divine role of the Mother.
And now it’s time shut out the noise...
And remember your innate gift of being the leader. The Mother.
Who's ready to commit to themselves?
