There have always been two sides of me: First, the mother who wants to stay home and take care of her baby and family. This version of me doesn’t worry too much about external affairs. She is insulated and cocooned inside her sanctuary, her home. She bakes pies, raises her son, positively impacts her friends and family and lives a life filled with love and laughter. Second, the trailblazing visionary who is passionate about changing the world.
She wants to positively impact as many lives as possible.
She is a teacher, a healer, a woman that other women can count on. She holds space for others. She runs her own successful business and is dripping in abundance and prosperity of her own making. The birth of my son made this duality even bigger. Many times I have felt like I had to choose between the two. I couldn’t fathom being able to do both. To be able to embody both sides at the same time. To be the soft, intuitive Mother that is barefoot in the kitchen and tending to her garden AND the entrepreneurial fire-starter that is meant to change and impact thousands. I’m not saying I have the answer to this all figured out, but I’m slowly embodying the version of me that allows herself space to be all of this.
All of this…and more.
I am allowed to be both those women. And, you are allowed to be whoever you want to be too. We both need to give ourselves permission to be who we are. Without limitations. Without fear. Without worrying that we will be too much for some. It’s ok to be more than what we were shown was possible for women. It’s ok to do a lot of things. It’s all going to be ok as long as we keep exploring that duality and slowly merging it into a juicy, whole, healthy Cosmic Woman that is grounded, wild, free, and at peace with herself.
I am a Mother. A Teacher. A Healer. A Trailblazer. An Empress. I allow it all.
