My doula asked me the other day, “What else do you need me to know to create the environment you need for birth?” And she asked in a moment that caught me off guard, so the answer wasn’t sitting at the tip of my tongue. (Unusual for a woman who’s always sharp on tongue and answers. ;)) […]

When Men Get Upset About Woman Rising
About a year ago, I sent out an email asking you to define the successful women you saw leading from the feminine. There was a rise I was experiencing. This for me, was the first spark of DIVINE FEMME. Boy oh boy, some dudes didn’t like it. I got back LOTS of emails from men, […]
