Incoming lengthy read....
I know, at first glance, this new direction for Earth Mothers might look like quite a big shift. For many years, our work was primarily centred around the seasons of motherhood ~ consciously conceiving, fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, nourishing ourselves and connecting with other women through these incredibly transformative seasons of life.
And now we're talking much more about gentle business and ethical leadership. Which might seem like the complete opposite.
But after five years of growing this community, I've come to realise that it actually isn't. The packaging has changed yes, what Earth Mothers is all about is really no different.
You see, what I've noticed from the very earliest stage of planting this seed is that although women and families might have arrived at Earth Mothers because they were looking for support with their fertility, pregnancy, birth, motherhood or connection with other women, the deeper layer of our community and the conversations we've had have often been about...
How we’re actually living our lives? What does our everyday look and feel like? How are we navigating the world around us?
What are we questioning? What perspectives are we beginning to see differently? How are we finding our voices?
And ultimately, how are we showing up in our own version of leadership?
Whether that's how we're leading our families, creating businesses, showing up in our workplaces or contributing to our communities. Because so many of the women I've connected with over the years have felt that they don't want to do things simply because that's the way society has always done them.
We know there has to be another way to live, lead, mother, create and be in the world. And so much of modern life asks us to squeeze ourselves into a conditional, superficial and disconnected box.
And the women I've met through Earth Mothers don't belong in that box.
Continued in the slides as it was wayyyyy to long to fit here.
