MM Nov 26th We are officially in our hygge era. Candles glowing, warm drinks in hand, soft blankets everywhere... Start to soak in the slower pace of the season. (I'm gathering inspiration for a little how-to-hygge blog that will be landing soon so we can all have some simple reminders.) In this little sweet spot of planning and play, the MM leaders are celebrating one another, playing elf for their Secret Santa leadership sisters, and reflecting on everything we have harvested this year. It...

MM Nov 18th Are you a midnight mermaid? 🌙 ↓ A Midnight Mermaid is the woman who comes alive when the world quiets down. She is the late night thinker, the barefoot kitchen dancer, the one who finds clarity at 11 pm while everyone else sleeps. She is soft, silly, and slightly feral in the best way. She texts her friends memes at odd hours, whips up creations while the moon accompanies her, and somehow wakes up with a full heart even on low sleep. She deserved her own winter uniform. So tonight...

MM Oct 31st As the veil thins... ↓ This moment between equinox and solstice invites us to slow down a little more, to listen, to honor both what has ended and what is quietly beginning.

These simple reminders serve as...

MM Oct 27th Working Closer Together This Winter ↓ I've been reaching towards the darker months... the way this season invites us to slow down, to go inward, to find warmth from within. I realized that outside of my usual classes and events, I feel called to something more… seeking deeper connections with each of you, a chance to share the skills I’ve gathered over the years in meaningful and intentional ways this winter. I’ve walked down many paths during my decade of exploration in wellness,...

MM Sept 28th Move for Our Midwife ↓ Today is my birthday, and I want to share what’s on my heart. This past week, our community experienced a heartbreaking loss. On September 21st, Christina’s partner, Brock, passed away. Brock was a magical soul, and his absence is felt deeply. You may recognize him as the founder of Nourish The Mama and the only male to ever be published in MM Publication, but he was so much more than that. Christina is walking through profound grief, and she’s also facing...

MM Aug 30th To the Women in the Workforce... ↓ This weekend, as we pause for Labor Day, I’ve been remembering its roots: a day created to honor those who fought for fair wages and conditions, and the feminist voices that insisted women deserved the same rights and opportunities. Their efforts laid the groundwork for the freedoms we hold today, and stepping into the workforce came with side effects many of us now feel in our bodies, hearts, and homes. In honor of this Labor Day, I wrote about...

MM July 24th It's Christmas in July! ☀️🎄 Elfie (our very devoted family Elf) and I have officially teamed up today to plan a fabulous Christmas in July celebration for the fam. There’s a Christmas tree in the living room, cookies baking in the oven, and that familiar twinkle of delight that only this season brings—no matter the date on the calendar. With the spirit of giving on my mind, I can’t help but reflect on all the ways MM, as a living, breathing ecosystem, continues to nourish and...

MM July 1st June fueled the fire— July will fan the flames... ↓ We rose from the ashes into the golden blaze of Solstice, and already we begin to descend. Such is the Wheel of the Year.

Now, in the full blaze of summer, a new season begins. A season of leadership, embodiment, and the return of our sacred work. 🌀 Free Webinar:...
