Becoming Mother
July, 2023
The spirit of our daughter introduced herself .
My partner and I were in different states, immersed in different experiences yet we each received a unique vision of this baby and of parenthood.
We were gently reassured that the choice was ours whether or not to bring baby earthside and unbeknownst to one another we each sat with our new and huge knowing for two weeks
One night at the picnic table during dinner, I finally said it: I met a spirit that has chosen us to be their parents
Joel told me: I know. (this is where my jaw dropped). I saw you in motherhood and committed to being your partner on this journey, if you choose to say yes to it
We said yes to it. To her.
Since that day we‘ve been catapulted into the deepest depths of healing, growth and loving expansion - a conscious preconception journey divinely orchestrated by this sweet and wise spirit, whom I call Honey Baby. Without yet being earthside, this baby has asked so much of us, revealing to us a source of boundless beauty and magic we have always had access to but had not yet discovered. They’ve let us know the significance of our incredible community, by whom they are already so celebrated and loved. They’ve shown us our highest and most capable selves and asked us to trust them. They’ve raised our capacity for connection, partnership and loving union in preparation for parenthood. They’ve illuminated our shadows so we may challenge ourselves to instead make the choice to live from our light. They’ve initiated ancestral healings and clearings so they may be born without heavy inheritances of those before them. They’ve shown us how wildly powerful and radiant our loving presence is
& so much more
It’s been almost two years. With the guidance of this child, and the other spirits that have since joined her, we have spread the fertile, steady and abundant foundation from which they will emerge when they’re ready. Their presence has been the most unexpected blessing of this lifetime and as we continue meandering along our path of conscious preconception, we accept each step as the rite of passagethat it is.
& That’s why I’m here.
Preconception is a potent portal of becoming that is often overshadowed by the tunnel vision and “end goal” of getting pregnant. I’m here to help women reframe and re-empower their journey toward Motherhood.
You’ll enjoy following Becoming Mothers if you:
are hearing the call of Motherhood rising with you
envision yourself becoming a Mother: you’re on your preconception journey now, are already a Mother, or are looking forward to be in the future
are curious about tuning in to and trusting your intuitive gifts, especially as you approach Motherhood
would love to receive inspiration on daily rituals of self-love + deeper connection
wonder what (even just the idea of) parenthood might do to your partnership? (My husband and I may offer some co-written pieces)
are a little witchy, have a spiritual practice, or are interested in cultivating rituals that will support you, regardless of Motherhood, but as a woman
are looking for an opportunity to slow down, listen more deeply to your body and develop a deep sense of self-trust
By the way, I’m Roe
I am a woman that has been deeply immersed in the ripe opportunity of my preconception path.
I have been challenged, stretched, empowered, awakened, deflated, and reborn on this journey. My life in many ways has not changed but, in all of the ways that matter, is completely new. I’ve entered an existence of receptivity, I’ve laid back into cosmic trust, I’ve cleared ancestral traumas and beliefs that kept me small. I’ve roared myself back to life and found my fierceness. I’ve co-created an unbelievably breathtaking relationship with my partner. I’ve said no and set necessary boundaries. I’ve opened my arms to a new way of life. All for our babies.
Sharing our journey on instagram has ignited a spark in me. It revealed that so many women embark on this journey alone. Let’s try something different, my sisters.
Becoming Mother is not meant to be lonely work. Join me + prepare to expand.
Send me a message & tell me where you are on your journey, what’s been challenging, what’s been supportive, what you would like to see here in this communal container.
I can’t wait to hear from you, dear one.
