For those of you who through motherhood, have finally unearthed your longing for something more true and more connected for yourselves and for your families.

For the ones who open these emails expecting a message that resonates with you beyond the level of practical advice, and feels like an embrace from one mother’s soul to another’s.

But what kind of hard, exactly?

I did what I needed to do, and I did it well

Replacing patterns of repression with patterns of healing

How do we protect them?
