Martyr or Mother?

Who are you being?

A martyr or a mother?

This is a question I’ve been sitting with deeply, and one I’ve been sharing in my mothers’ circles.

So many of us carry the story that we have to do it all alone. We tell ourselves there is no village. We believe we should be able to hold everything, give everything, and need nothing.

Maybe the bravest thing a mother can do is ask for support.

But when we ignore our own needs and don’t ask for support, we reinforce that story and step into the role of the martyr.

The truth is, as human beings, we are naturally designed to be of service. Love, care, generosity, and devotion are already woven into our nature.

But receiving is part of the cycle too.

When we allow ourselves to be supported, we create space for others to give and strengthen the flow of true community.

As mothers, this is especially important.

When we’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, exhausted, and silently carrying the weight of everything, it’s easy to believe the answer lies somewhere outside of us.

“If only my partner changed.”
“If only I had more time.”
“If only life looked different.”

But transformation begins when we take responsibility for our needs and honour them.

When we ask for help.

When we choose self-care without guilt.

When we remember that our wellbeing matters.

Because when a mother is supported, everyone around her benefits.

Our children feel it.
Our partners feel it.
Our communities feel it.

This isn’t about carrying more pressure.

It’s about reclaiming our power.

It’s about choosing to stop waiting for life to change and instead becoming active participants in creating the life we desire.

We are not prisoners to our circumstances.

We are here to create heaven on earth.

We are here to experience joy, connection, beauty, and support.

But it begins with asking:

Where am I still believing I have to do it alone?

Where am I waiting for something outside of myself to change?

Where am I still unfree?

Perhaps this is the next stage of motherhood.

Not sacrificing ourselves for everyone else.

But remembering that when we nourish the mother, everyone thrives.

In love Mama Joy xx

The Revolution Is Here Mama 💛

Building a new kind of Village takes time, but it starts with you.

Saturdays Village Mothers Circle at was so potent. The energy in the space was palpable with a theme of birth stories, isolation and sleepless nights with many other ones too.

The main thing which I want to point out as well was the safety in the room.

When mothers come together in the need for connection, community and being seen we often open our hearts to the safety we all share as mother nurtures. This allows for deep empathy and compassion to be shared. In turn allows all mothers to have a sense of belonging and understanding of each other.

This is not something you can fully receive in an online connection. There is an energy of felt sense perception that happens only when coming together in a space of love and openness.

Overall woman need each other to thrive. They say isolation for woman/mothers can be a detrimental as smoking a pack of ci******es a day…

We are wired for connection at our core. It’s essential to gather, it’s primal and needed.

We have been gathering as woman for centuries. We have just forgotten. We have been awakening to this remembrance for a while now and it’s now come to my heart for the greater change of this and to show up as best I can to be the bridge of change.

If you want to be apart of this growing motherhood community reach out or join us at our next mothers circle on June 13th from 10am-12pm!

For bookings either go to my website under mother circles or check the link in bio 🦋

Motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

Babies in arms welcome, if you have a toddler or child that needs support we will have someone to be with the kids each circle! Just let us know prior.

In deep love and reverence,

The lonely part of being mother, partner, woman...
Whether we choose to birth children in this lifetime or not, Women tends to and mothers others through the essence of her being, with a selflessness that emanates through her very core.
We hold and serve and nurture and care, we manage, and orchestrate and tend, we shape-shift, contort and ofter endlessly, trom an inherent well of care, and Maybe, we only realise once we are hollow and exhausted, that we’ve abandoned ourselves again.
Even if we’ve done the nourishing things,
the bath or the quiet moment with ourselves here and there, sometimes we allow a deeper sense to emerge... that a raw core longing has not been met.
A longing to be held too. Really held. To be cradled and bathed in the generous presence of another.
To be tended to with the same fierce loving kindness that moves through us.
We give...endlessly, and there’s a moment where we may crumble, or life slaps us into a halt...with illness or circumstance or the ghosts of old stories and patterns and they ask us “what is the song of your own heart?” What do YOU need?”
And then maybe, someone holds us.
A sister, a beloved one, an angel in human form.
To simply be seen.
To be known..in the wild freedom that has no name, no role, no archetype, no tasks or expectations or frames.
To be met and acknowledged, through a generous gaze, an affirming word, a touch...we find our way back again...

Meet us at our next mother’s circle this Saturday from 10-12pm for a moment of shared reverence of the constant giving of a mother’s love to be witnessed, seen and held to hopefully find your way back again. Bookings link in bio.

Happy Mother’s Day!

To all who hold the title, all who hold life, all who show up day to day without recognition.

I see you mama. I thank you mama. I feel you mama.

Honoring my own birth mother, my step mother that loved me as her own, and my step mother that pushed me beyond what to learn how to love myself more than I could ever imagine by your pain you inflicted on me. I bow to you all that did the best you could.

Now we can do better, because we know better. Let us change the way we honor our mothers in pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

I will be doing all that I can to make this shift, even if I don’t see the full bloom of this intention isn’t seen until after I die. I am on mission.

In reference and devotion to the Ma 🌹🙏🏼

Ps. Next mothers circle is happening on May 30th, Saturdays 10-12pm

“Joy is a walking contradiction in the best possible way—part earth mama, part cosmic portal, part “don’t test me unless you’re ready to be emotionally seen at a cellular level.” She’s the kind of woman who will hand you a cup of cacao, gently guide you into your deepest shadow work… and then casually remind you to hydrate and eat protein because enlightenment doesn’t hit the same when you’re underfed.

She builds community like it’s second nature—gathering mothers, souls, and seekers into circles that somehow feel both ancient and brand new. One minute she’s talking about nervous system regulation, the next she’s planning a future on land with fruit trees, children running barefoot, and a life that feels like a prayer instead of a checklist.

She moves between worlds effortlessly: grounded enough to meal prep and keep toddlers alive (no small feat), yet spiritually tuned enough to read energy in a room before anyone’s said a word. Her version of balance isn’t perfect—it’s real. Coffee in one hand, intention in the other.

Joy doesn’t just “do” motherhood—she reveres it. Sees it as sacred, messy, holy work. The kind that cracks you open and rebuilds you into something softer, stronger, and a little bit wild.

If you meet her, expect to feel both held and called forward. She’s not here for surface-level anything. She’s here to build, to heal, to love deeply—and to remind you (whether you asked or not) that you’re capable of doing the same.”

Mother’s Day has had me in deep reflection…

On how much a mother holds.
On how sacred this journey truly is.

To create life, birth life, nourish life, and raise life…
It is one of the most holy rites of passage a woman can walk through.
And yet, it is so often not honoured in the way it deserves.

This is why I feel so deeply called to gather.

This Mother’s Day, I will be holding a Mother’s Circle at
a space for you to be held, seen, and nourished.

We’ll begin with a gentle, somatic yoga practice…
dropping into the body, the breath, and the temple that created your baby.

Followed by a heartfelt circle with cacao, connection, and remembrance…
that you are not alone.

And we’ll close with a deeply restorative yoga nidra.

Because self-care in motherhood isn’t a luxury.
It’s essential.

It’s time for the mother to be mothered.
To tend to your inner mother.
To receive the support you truly need.

Because when mothers are supported…
our children, our families, and the world feel it.

I would love to hold you in this space.

I hope to see you there 🤍
Mama Joy

3 signs your nervous system is asking for support ✨

1. You’re not sleeping through the night.
Whether you’re up with a baby, breastfeeding, lying awake replaying the day, or carrying the constant mental load of motherhood… your body is running on empty. When we don’t get enough rest, our nervous system stays in survival mode and everything begins to feel harder.

2. You’re reacting instead of responding.
You feel touched out. Overstimulated. You hear yourself snapping at your partner or children and afterwards feel guilt or shame. You want to be calm, present and patient… but underneath it all, you are exhausted and carrying too much on your own.

Especially if you grew up not feeling deeply mothered yourself, motherhood can bring old wounds to the surface. The parts of you that never felt safe, seen or held can begin to cry out for care too.

3. You feel forgetful, foggy and unlike yourself.
You walk into a room and forget why. You leave the grocery store without the one thing you needed. You feel scattered, disconnected, low in energy, and like you’ve somehow lost yourself amongst everyone else’s needs.

Mama, this is not because you are failing.

This is often what happens when a woman has been giving and giving for too long without being held herself.

From the early postpartum years through the first 7 years of motherhood, many women are carrying not only the weight of raising children, but also the unmet needs, grief and wounds from their own mothering.

You do not have to keep pushing through.

You deserve support. You deserve rest. You deserve to be mothered too.

If this feels like you, my sessions are a space to soften, exhale, be deeply cared for, and gently begin to come back to yourself again 🤍

With this New Moon in Aries ♈️ I’ve decided to finally launch 🚀 my website for the world to see the evolution of how I’m now working with mothers.

This has been in the making for over 6 months, with many moments of dreaming, refining, questioning, and allowing it to unfold in the way that feels most aligned. Today felt like the perfect day to finally share it.

I feel so deeply passionate about supporting mothers through every season — from pregnancy, to postpartum, to the ongoing journey of motherhood. I believe mothers deserve to be deeply held, nourished, supported, and surrounded by community.

So much of motherhood can feel isolating, and I truly believe we are being called to create a new village. A village where women are seen, heard, nurtured, and reminded that they do not have to do it all alone.

My work is here to hold space for mothers in a more holistic and heart-led way — through healing, touch, rest, emotional support, circles, connection, and coming home to themselves again.

Launching this website feels like more than simply sharing what I offer; it feels like sharing a piece of my heart and the vision I carry for the mothers in our community.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, and believed in this journey.

If you feel called to work together, or are interested in any of the services I offer, I would love to hear from you. Please get in touch 🤍 Joyjackson.com.au

Becoming a mother is not just a moment… it’s a complete transformation.

And yet, so many women are expected to “bounce back” as if nothing has changed.

But everything has changed.

Here are 3 powerful shifts that happen after birth that deeply impact a mother’s body, mind, and heart:

✨ 1. The Body is Open + Healing
After pregnancy and birth, a woman’s body is in a state of deep repair. The womb is contracting, hormones are shifting rapidly, and the nervous system is often raw and sensitive. Without intentional rest, nourishment, and care, this can lead to depletion, pain, and long-term imbalance.

✨ 2. The Identity Shift
You are not the same woman you were before. There is a shedding, a becoming, a rebirth. This can feel beautiful… and also disorienting. Without space to be witnessed and held in this transition, many mothers feel lost, unseen, or disconnected from themselves.

✨ 3. The Emotional + Mental Load Expands
The constant tending, the lack of sleep, the responsibility, the love that can feel overwhelming in its depth… it’s a lot. When this isn’t supported, it can quietly turn into anxiety, overwhelm, or postpartum depression.

Mama, you were never meant to do this alone.

You were meant to be held while you hold.

This is why Mother’s Circles exist 🤍
A space to land. To be seen. To soften. To receive.

If you’re feeling stretched, tender, or simply craving connection with other mothers who get it…

I invite you to join us for the next Mother’s Circle.

Come as you are.
Baby in arms, heart wide open.

You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.

Mother circles are not a trend.
They are a remembering.

A return to how we were always meant to mother
in connection, in honesty, in community.

Somewhere along the way, we were taught to do this alone.
To push through.
To disconnect from our instincts.

But something is shifting.

Women are coming back together.
Choosing slowness.
Choosing truth.
Choosing each other.

The village isn’t gone.
It’s being rebuilt one circle at a time.

✨ If you’ve been feeling the call, I see you.

In deep devotion to the mother, Mama Joy 🌹
