MUSINGS + MAGICK: The Marriage of ‘Being’ and ‘Doing’ in Modern Motherhood (JUNE NEW MOON INTENTIONS WITH LAUREN AND NICOLE)

The Well-Nourished Mother: Helping You Thrive in Pregnancy, Birth & Motherhood

We’re so often given the advice of “more being, less doing” yet what does this actually look like in modern motherhood as busy, potentially high achieving, and conscious mothers or women entrepreneurs?

It can be easy to enter a shame spiral when we find ourselves betraying our own needs or not following through on things we intend to do.

In this episode, we uncover the identity of efficiency and discuss how being efficient can be a strong motivator in our day to day actions. We reflect on how societal conditioning and external validation has led to a distortion around self worth and productivity.

We explore how to show our nervous systems that it’s actually SAFE not to be efficient despite past and current programming, and we talk about different ways we are each personally infusing micro pauses of intention into our day without massive adjustments to our to-do lists.

This episode invites you to find ways to infuse more being into your doing.

Some ideas we offer include practicing awareness and strengthening your muscle of discernment. Strengthening awareness and discernment can increase Self trust and Self worth in small, bite sized ways while allowing flexibility for the changing seasons of one’s capacity.

We set new moon intentions for ourselves and invite you to join us in asking yourself questions like:

“What does my body need right now?”
And “Have I felt my heartbeat today?” and invite you to either follow through on what comes up in response to those questions, or hold space for what's present without jumping to fix it or take it away.
