Welcome to Raising Consciousness

This is an experiment in publishing things that I philosophize about privately: motherhood, personal power & responsibility, child psychology, psychology of healing, relationships and relating, through the psychosomatic and spiritual lenses steeped in my decade-long yoga therapy background. I’ve been racking my brain about how to make it all fit into categories and realized - substack it gurl!

I’m taking up Simone Seol’s garbage substack challenge. That is writing one post a week for 8 weeks no matter how garbage-y, not finished, not good enough I think they are.

Why RAISING CONSCIOUSNESS?

I didn’t think parenting was going to be challenging. The day-to-day realities of raising little humans prove wrong every day!

Parenting has made me question the ways in which my own upbringing conditions the way I parent and relate to my partner, calling for resolutions in places I didn’t know needed attention. The little fruits of my loin push me to my edges and reflect back to me all the ways I need to grow and expand - to raise my consciousness, take an evolutionary perspective, and a long-range vision.

Personally, I find reading the stories of other mothers to be tremendously inspiring. It reminds me that I'm not alone in my struggles and that we're all in this together. We all face the same issues and share the same desires for our children - to raise them with love, kindness, and a sense of purpose. Reading about the stumbles and falls, aha moments, and pep talks of other mothers uplifts me in my own parenting struggles.

Raising Consciousness is a place where my notes on the topic, research, best practices, musings, epiphanies, resources and everything in between lives.

Sharing my story and reading others’ has been a vital resting place on my parenting path and I hope it will do the same for you. Dive in! I wanna have a conversation!

So glad you are here.

eeek. Thanks for reading!
