All mothers are women, but not all women are mothers.
The day you became a mother was the day that your entire world changed. The woman you knew was burst open, magnified and multiplied and put back together in a way that only a mother can know.
It is easy to take this title and role for granted simply because it is so normal. Everyone on the planet has a mother- known or not. We all come into this world through mother and we all have our own experience of mother.
For most of us, women and men alike, there is a deep longing inside of us for the ways that we wish we were mothered. We can all think of ways that our mothers fell short- the times we felt overlooked, blamed and shamed. So many of us are walking around with mother wounds whether we know it our not.
For most mothers, there is a deep longing not to pass these wounds on- whether we know it or not. We desire the support and guidance to show up differently, and dare I say it, better. Even the most estranged of mothers carry this biological instinct to offer her children something better.
Here’s the catch- motherhood is one of the most complex and subjective topics because there will never be another mother exactly like you (or your mother, or her mother) AND the chemistry of each mother and child is its own tiny universe.
What we are doing in legacy is stripping back the entanglement of your innate motherly intuition and your lifetime of conditioning. To examine the thoughts & patterns that came from your mother and the lineage of mothers before you, and choosing the parts to keep and the parts to release.
You have a unique blueprint, an optimal way to use your energy and move through the world AND you are your mother’s daughter, and you have subconsciously (through no fault of your own) adopted ways of being and doing that may or may not serve you.
Legacy is a reframe about the most important, most complicated, most challenging and most rewarding part of your identity. It is the reunion of your mother identity and your woman identity.
In this space we will shine light on the hidden, the taboo & the disowned parts of your wildly wonderful & complex mother story.
