💖IT IS NOT ENOUGH💖

Don’t get me wrong! I love my kids, they are loves of my life. If you see behind closed doors the sacrifice & struggle -
that’s not even the question

But
It is not enough. 

You are a creation. A masterpiece. Child of God. And you were made for a purpose. Feeling fulfilled, empowered & joyful means fulfilling that purpose. 

Mine is more than being a mum 

I’m a better mum when I leave them behind to get my work done

I’m a better mum when I miss out on play time & quality 1:1 time to journal and paint

I’m a better mum when I sleep in instead of going to the park.

I’m a better mum when I model a fulfilled, joyful & empowered woman instead of an exhausted & depleted one. 

I come back with a full cup that is overflowing which helps me fill theirs. 

It’s actually easier & more Joyful!

Instead of trying to catch up, running on fumes and guilt. 

It isn’t fair to treat your kids like vessels for your fulfilment. 

Mothering may be part of your purpose, yes absolutely. It’s a privilege & sacred role! 

But the pressure put on them to give me a FULL-filled life?
That is MY job! To acknowledge when it isn’t enough. 

NOT THAT THEY are not enough - they are plenty and overflowing with all they are meant to be

NOT THAT I’M NOT ENOUGH - because in my true heart where soul & spirit reside, I know I am. 

But the ‘work’ of mothering, of child caring, is NOT enough

You want a fulfilled life? Where life is FULL & FILLED with purpose and joy?

KNOW when you’re trying to draw that fulfilment from the wrong thing

KNOW when you’re forgetting yourself - YOUR heart, YOUR needs, YOUR spirit and connection to your purpose. 

See the FULL picture - it’s so easy when you’re in the trenches with little kids to forget the forrest you’re in.

When all you see is this one ginormous tree you’re trying to climb up. 
With your hands. While holding your babies

Then you can release that pressure on them. 

Or whatever else you’ve been trying to make your purpose... and it keeps coming up short. 

Your job you find ok? But you know it’s fear & complacency that keeps you there

Your partner? ‘you complete me...’ can be so damaging

Your house? What do you think you will gain on the other side of making it clean & magazine worthy?

RELEASE IT & acknowledge that IT IS NOT ENOUGH 

Focus on what you NEED
To claim your heart, your soul, your calling

AND FIND THAT PATH to your ENOUGH

It’s most likely a bigger, richer tapestry of all those things you ALREADY HAVE & that one small thing your inner voice is whispering to you. 

Dare to take that seriously - and take one small baby step towards it TODAY

💖MUSE MAMA is OPEN TO NEW MEMBERS!

Do you find yourself feeling this sense of DISatisfaction in your life? 

Don’t get me wrong, you totally are GRATEFUL and your life is totally FINE…. Yet there is this BUT….
There is this sense that something is missing

You LOVE your kids — but you’re finding that they don’t need you as much anymore. Whether leaving the nest, starting full time school or just finding yourself coming out of the fog of those early months.

You are tired of only having stories about your kids to share. Something THEY did, something THEY achieved or learnt or did that was horrifying. 
You had promised yourself that you weren’t going to be the mama that lives through their children!

That thing you’re missing? It’s the creative spark. It’s the spark of fulfilment that comes with feeling ON PURPOSE. It’s the spark of joy that gives life meaning.

You LOVE your kids — but they are NOT your identity (you want to find it or explore it more. Working out who you are in this new chapter)

You want to find YOU again

There is something MORE you are being called to do. You don’t need to be clear about what exactly that is…but you know that it’s there and you can’t ignore it anymore. 

You know that ignoring that call, ignoring that inner voice is actually affecting the way you show up in your mamahood. You give EVERYTHING to your kids — but you need help to give that same love to YOURSELF

And you know that creativity is the seed from which the blossom of your next beautiful chapter will bloom.

Then I want to invite you to join us as a Muse Mama

What is a Muse Mama?

⚡️Ambitious & spiritual mamas — creative mamas who want to do MORE than mamahood IN ORDER TO BE THE BEST MAMA they can be. 

✨A space to find support & inspiration from me, a professional artist (& your fellow Muses!) on living a creative life & cultivating a creative practice. 
Because your creativity is the source of your joy, your fulfilment & the seed for the great work that is calling you. 

⚡️Where you will find accountability to DARE TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP. Because you’re tired of just dreaming and wishing. You want to start DOING, even in small tiny baby steps. 

✨A source of encouragement when Resistance & Sabotage shows up. Doing it alone doesn’t work! It takes a village to raise a kid - it also takes one to raise the kind of fulfilled woman you want to be. One that is living a life of joyful purpose!

💖 Muse Mama is for you to find customised support - Let us hold space for you in your journey with your creativity. When you LOVE your work & life BEYOND your babies, you THRIVE and so does your family. Whether it’s something you do in-between naps & feeds or something new just for you now your kids are grown or somewhere inbetween- it’s your chosen work!

💖Are you tired of feeling alone? Like you’re the odd one out? Muse Mama is for you to find your support circle with fellow Muse Mamas who understand your juggle to weave babies with biz and work and self-care and your calling. 

💖Are you sick of groups that are just full of questions about the latest nap schedules, or lunchbox ideas or yet another debate about how to discipline your babies? You want to talk about something else! 

Do you want resources & support on the Mindset & Manifestation Magic you need as a creative mama?

Do you want to have a conscious connection with other ambitious women BEYOND mamahood?

Who inspire you and are inspired BY YOU with the world changing Big Dream you are being called to create
Whether that is planting a rose garden or ending poverty — you don’t have to do it alone!
