We made it to the end of March... 🦁🐑 At the start of the month, I shared a little agricultural folklore and asked what kind of March we were stepping into. (Read Post) Now I'm curious... How did it feel for YOU? Drop your answer below! And if you want the full context, check out the original post. Not talking about the weather... talking about what moved through you this month. 🌱

🚨Vulnerable Share Alert🚨 Lately I’ve been moving through something that has been bringing up a lot of old feelings in me. Over the past few weeks I’ve been doing some deeper parts work, and it’s opened up new realizations about my relationship with my family and how much of my life has quietly been shaped around other people. It’s been a heartbreaking thing to see clearly. Even as a 36-year-old woman, I can recognize how often I’ve been posturing my life around the needs, emotions, or expectations of others. Call it people-pleasing. Call it codependency. Call it mother wounds. Whatever the label, I’m starting to see the ways my upbringing influenced the trajectory of my life in ways I hadn’t fully acknowledged before. For a while I was in the blame stage. Feeling like a victim who had just been along for the ride. But over the last couple of weeks, something has shifted and I think I’m ready to move into the next part of the story. One of the hardest things I’ve had to accept recently is that my own mother may never be able to support me in the ways I’ve always hoped she would. And strangely… there has been a kind of freedom in that realization. Because the beautiful thing about being in a community like this one is that we are not limited to the wisdom of the family we were born into. There are so many people here who have walked similar thresholds before us. So I’m coming here honestly and vulnerably to ask: If you’ve navigated something similar (especially my fellow eldest daughters out there) I would love to hear from you. What helped you step out of the patterns you inherited? What helped you reclaim your own life? Any wisdom, reflections, or hard-won lessons… I’m very open to receiving right now. 🤍
