On the occasion of Mothers's Day being celebrated today in many parts of the world, I want to focus on the concept of SELF-MOTHERING: relevant to all women - mothers and daughters alike - it's about treating ourselves in the way a wise and loving mother would. Sometimes this will mean nurturing or soothing ourselves, and other times we'll need to encourage and lovingly push ourselves to do what's in our best interest in the long run. When we do a good job at self-mothering, we won't only strengthen our inner guidance system and create a deep sense of trust in ourselves; we'll also be able to be a better mother to our own children or care-taker to our loved ones. In this episode I'll share 6 ways in which I've been mothering myself, and which you can apply and practice right away! Go to for further details, the video recording and related episodes!
