🎨: @lauravazquez_art | Raise your hand if your relationship with your Mami didn’t give you fuzzy warm feelings growing up? 🙋🏽♀️
A lot of the work I do with mothers and parents has its roots in the healing I’ve been doing around my own relationship to my mom, my Madre Wound, and the way I’ve been formed by that relationship.
Growing up, there was more disconnection than connection and as a result, there is sometimes destructive messaging in my subconscious that isn’t actually my own voice but the voice of her wounds.
She did her best with the resources and tools she had and I love her (but also, boundaries) and I have no desire to blame because my life is mine.
HOW-EV-ER, because of this, I’ve had to constantly remember to nurture myself and give myself what I may not have been given growing up, even though it feels like a new muscle.
It is MY responsibility to meet my emotional needs. It is MY *privilege* to have the tools to love myself and talk to the little girl inside me with a firm and loving voice.
Daily, I choose to re-Mother myself and re-program this beautiful wrinkly squishy computer I call my 🧠.
Join us on Saturday, May 28 @ 11 am PST for a FREE Madre Wound Healing Circle. Where we'll open to healing in a supported and guided way and gain comunidad in the process.

The heaviness of this post is real. There are so many of us who didn’t receive instruction of some basic aspects of being human in the world.
We all don’t come with the same knowledge and skills. We all didn’t receive the same care.
Let’s approach each other with compassion. Let’s share what we know without pretense of
superiority.
Also go support Lee Shevek @ButchAnarchy, she spits fire with her words for us all to ponder on and and is in need of support these day.
Love you, mis amores 💗

We heal with each other, amores!
When we hold space for each other's wounds, when we show up with listening ears, when we got bat for each other’s needs, when we open up to allow the parts of ourselves that have been hurt to receive witnessing, holding, and love.
