Yesterday our air bnb host had to cancel our reservation for the retreat. We’ve had this place booked for months. 😱

It’s amazing how calm and trusting and collaborative Brian and I stayed through that experience.

We were able to find a replacement at a comparable price last min.

Thank you god, source, universe! ✨

How do we take our power back as parents without overpowering our children?

This morning I found myself meeting with a familiar frustration.

You know those moments when your child wants to join in on something, there’s limited time to get ready, and you find yourself really wanting them to move faster?

Meanwhile, you can feel the tension building in your body?

We have a morning to move through and a timeline for getting out the door.

And I really hate when I fall into the dynamic where I’m pushing her to move faster.

So where does my power lie in this dynamic? By choosing not to engage in it.

If I don’t want to be in the role of pushing, I need to create the conditions that keep me out of that role.

“Sure you can join for Neo walk in the mornings as long as you’re ready to be out the door at 6. I’ll help out by asking you if you want to go as soon as you wake up so you have time to get dressed.”

And then we follow through. Brian is out the door at 6 for the walk.

Not Brian or I being annoyed. Not either of us being cold.

Not, “well, you didn’t move fast enough.”

Just simply, “sorry love. It’s time and we need to keep the morning on track. Let’s try again tomorrow.”

Even if she’s disappointed.
Even if she’s angry.

We can love her through her disappointment and still let the walk leave on time.

Brian has my back, and hers. He’ll support by also holding a grounded, clear, and loving boundary.

And this morning, I came downstairs after they got back from the walk, apologized for getting frustrated and we collaborated on a plan moving forward.

The real moments. The frustration. The repair. The growth. And finding our power while staying connected to ourselves and our children.

That’s what we do in A Felt Life Parenting Community. Come join us…

In less than two weeks, you could be lying beneath Mount Shasta, feeling the sound of crystal bowls move through your body as you finally let yourself rest.

You could be punching hand pads, giving your feminine rage the honoring and witnessing she’s craving, while Brian and I hold space for every sound, every tear, every part of you that’s been waiting to be loved and witnessed.

You could be walking beside three beautiful waterfalls, feeling the mist on your skin and sharing the trail with other women on their own soul journeys.

You could be sitting in a sharing circle, speaking something you’ve held close and being met with open hearts. You could be held and hugged. You could sing at the top of your lungs and hear other voices rise up to celebrate you.

There will be room for the tender parts, the fierce parts, and the parts of you that are simply ready to play.

Our Mount Shasta retreat is October 9–12, and this is our last call. If you feel yourself longing to be there, message me. I’d love to tell you more. 💖✨ by @mandy_jay222

Exciting news!!

Our new website is live you guys!! 🤩

We proudly present to you… drum rooooll… AFeltLife.org

… complete with our new landing page for ✨A Felt Life Parenting Community ✨

This site feels like a beautiful melding of my essence, Brian’s essence and our deeply held values during our stay here on Earth.

I have poured my heart and soul into this creation and I’m so proud. I am not a website designer but I’ve learned so much and really enjoy building. Brian has felt into every choice with me, the colors, fonts, photos, each word.

Along with this launch, I am relaunching Mom Embodied, my signature 1:1 program for moms who are ready to step into wholeness and meet their unique frequency of heart centered leadership. This is the place where we heal core wounds for good, dismantle control/compliance patterns, and master boundaries.

You can find out more here…

💖💖💖And for the next 2 months, up until Harper’s birthday (11/25) I’ll be offering the payment plan at no extra charge! 💖💖💖

Thank you for being on this journey with us. We look forward to serving you. 😘✨ by @mandy_jay222

Ok! My timing was off. Today is the three day countdown!

If you want to help Harper win the galaxy-kitty-eating-pizza blanket, now’s your chance. 🤣

They have great wrapping paper you can order too and other items, not just cookie dough. by @mandy_jay222

Tomorrow is Touch of Chico! 12-4pm at the Chico Creek Nature Center.

Brian and I are so excited to be volunteering again this year!

And this year we have a special treat! Miss Dayna Willis will be supporting us by handling sign ups so Brian and I can hold space together in our outdoor tent haven set up in the shade of Bidwell Park.

We can’t wait to serve and spread the love tomorrow! Hope to see you there!

Thank you Dayna for coming out to support.

I’m so grateful I have a partner who hasn’t judged me for how many times I’ve watched Harper’s cookie dough videos. #obsessed 🤣 love you Brian!

Harper went back to her dad’s today but we made one more video for me to post on Sunday. Five days left! Here’s the first one she made in case you didn’t see it.

Thanks again for your support, whether that’s been through orders or messages or loving comments. by @mandy_jay222

✨ A weekend to soften, laugh, release, connect, and remember yourself. ✨

Join us in Mount Shasta October 9–12 for our second women’s retreat. We have ONE SPOT LEFT! 😍

Is it yours?

$1,500 total, including all group healing experiences, 3 nights of lodging, and all meals. 😮

✨ A glimpse of what awaits… ✨

• Sharing circles

• Crystal bowl sound healing

• Sacred rage expression with punching gloves and mats (you’re invited to participate without pressure, in a way that honors your body and process)

• Excursion day: a group hike to a waterfall, lunch in nature, and a visit to the Mount Shasta Headwaters

• Group experiences focused on silliness, joy, and self-expression

• Delicious meals

• Karaoke and tea on the last night

• Additional activities may unfold during the retreat (we like to leave some spaciousness so we can feel into what’s needed for the group)

If you have any questions, please reach out to me or Brian!

We can’t wait to see who claims this last spot! by @mandy_jay222
