Speaker 1 (00:01):
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
Hi and welcome back or should Iwelcome myself back to this
podcast.
It's been a little while andI'm so excited to introduce to
you my rebrand.
For the last little bit it feltlike there was an evolution at
the tip of my tongue.
(00:22):
Almost I couldn't quite put myfinger on it.
I love Naturally ProsperousWoman.
I think that it is the core,the heart of my work in the
world.
But I felt a need to speakdirectly to the heart and soul
of conscious mothers, of leaders, of way showers.
(00:42):
And then, all of a sudden, thisname came rolling through my
conscious awareness lead like amother.
It almost jolted me for amoment Lead like a mother.
And so I have to apologize.
I don't have official intromusic or any of the fancy bells
(01:03):
and whistles, yet it is coming.
I'm somebody who kind of likesto roll with things and allow it
to organically evolve ratherthan getting gridlocked in that
kind of final perfect product.
So here we are, we're justgoing to drop into the
authenticity of it all and Iwant to introduce to you Lead
(01:28):
Like a Mother.
And there's so many waves ofwisdom and consciousness that I
can speak to around this titleof Lead Like a Mother, and I
think my biggest and deepestinvitation is for you to explore
and to open to what it means toyou to lead like a mother right
(01:52):
To lead like a mother.
So I want to talk a little bittoday about a few things and I'm
going to share a little bitabout the intro, what some
things I'm going to be divinginto.
So, if you don't already know me, my name's Tara Preston and I'm
kind of in this metamorphosisright now.
(02:13):
To be completely honest, Idon't actually really know what
to call myself.
Right now.
I'm the founder of the AkashicWomen's School that school
existed for a good five yearsthe creator of the Flower of
Life Akashic Certification.
I've been doing this work for along time in the online space
almost 14 years and have helpedhundreds of women from around
(02:37):
the globe move through pivotalembodied soul level
transformation from around theworld.
And as of now, I'm planning toclose out the Akashic Women's
School and I'll just besimplifying some of my offers
and my message and my work inthe world under my original
(02:59):
brand, taraprestoncom.
So that's going to be kind of amassive undertaking for 2025,
because the Akashic Women'sSchool has been around for so
long.
I've got so many bodies of worktucked underneath that, but it's
time to simplify, it's time fora new direction.
It's time to solidify and alignand simplify and amplify and
(03:25):
all of the juiciness that comeswith embodied feminine
leadership.
We get aligned, we get anchored, we get activated, and that's
just some of the process thatI'm moving through right now.
I just want to share that withyou.
So that's a little bit aboutwho I am.
And two, for those of you whoare listening to the podcast and
(03:48):
some of you have been listeningfor a little while and I know
because I see the podcast, thenumbers, the downloads growing
you know, feel free to reach outTara at taraprestoncom and just

I have so many tools andresources.

sparking some awareness, pullingyou to go deeper, please reach

Please reach out because I dohave so many, so many free tools

coming.
I have a Akashic 21 Day WombActivation Journal coming, which
(04:31):
I'm super excited about.
I've got a lot of resources andtools coming.
So just stay tuned.
And so I digress.
So let's go ahead and jump intoLead Like a Mother.
I'm going to be working on theintro and the music and all the
fun pieces.
But here we go.
Welcome to Lead Like a Mother.
(04:53):
I of course am your host, taraPreston ha and all the fun
pieces.
But here we go, welcome to LeadLike a Mother.
I of course am your host, taraPreston, hailing all the way
from the great Canadian North.
We're just getting out of thevery cold deep freeze.
This is a podcast for consciousmothers and leaders, really, who
are ready to align with theirembodied feminine leadership.
(05:17):
All right, you want to embracefeminine leadership for these
new times.
You want to create prosperity?
You want to really be congruentto your deeper purpose?
Right, because you know thatyou're here to live from a very
rooted, very full, very radiantplace of mother right, of being
(05:46):
the mother.
Right, which is a completeparadigm shift for so many of us
, where we've seen our mothersoperating from push go, do,
hustle, contraction, disconnect,depletion, depression, right,
we don't typically live in aworld that values the archetype
of the mother on a lot ofdifferent levels and yet a
(06:09):
mother who is connected androbust and in her power,
activated, awakened in her turnon, connected in her leadership
right, like that soulful wisdom,that soulful vision that guides
her path, is a powerhouse Is apowerhouse.
(06:31):
Oh, I just had.
Okay, here we go.
I had a little tight glitch.
I'm still recording Beautiful.
(06:54):
So every episode we'll be divinginto things that touch in on
what it means to lead like amother, so that mothers can
contribute to the evolutionright, to the freedom, to the
collective healing, to thefinancial liberation of
themselves, of their families,communities, the planet right,
and what it really means to diveinto these unique challenges
(07:15):
and opportunities that mothersoften face, conscious mothers,
leaders often face when they'recalled to way show right Into
this new paradigm.
I think it's important that wehave these resources and that we
stay connected, because thechallenges are definitely there,
because we push up against somuch, collectively really, some
(07:41):
of the outdated consciousnessand structures that exist within
the family unit, in ourcommunities, through things that
run even through the sisterhoodwound, even through the mother
wound.
It's there and these challengesaround parenting right, what it
means to instill authenticleadership in our children.
So these are really importantdiscussions to have right, so
(08:03):
that we don't stay stuck, so wedon't stay isolated, so that we
continue to move and grow andexpand and find freedom right
and take up space and really bethe leaders that the world needs
.
Right, mothers do have a uniqueperspective because they are so
tapped in, tuned into the nextgeneration.
(08:27):
Right, they're listening andoften conscious.
Mothers are seers.
They see, right, they're veryempathic, they see and they feel
.
And they see and they feel notjust the structures and systems
of oppression that they push upagainst, whether it's
internalized or external.
Right, they can see it withintheir children as well, what
(08:52):
they're pushing up, and so theyget a bigger, broader framework
of what it is that we'renavigating, and so we often we
need mothers to be able to trusttheir instincts, their
intuition, their impulses.
Right that soulful knowing andclarity, because they're not
just way showing for others,right who they're in community
(09:15):
with, they're way showing fortheir children, advocating for
their children.
So trusting your own leadershipbecomes crucial.
So we're going to have soulfulconversations, practical tools,
transformational insights.
We're going to talk aboutanchoring into motherhood and
leadership with authenticity,embodied feminine power from our
(09:36):
flow, from our freedom, fromour prosperity and impact.
We will be talking abouthealing generational patterns
right, generational patternsrooted in scarcity.
Right and pushing and going indepletion and disconnect, in
(09:57):
survival, right, we'll betalking about all that.
I'm going to weave in Akashicwisdom, kind of mini, bite-sized
, two or three little prompts.
So I invite you to bring yourjournal, a pen light, a candle.
So I invite you to bring yourjournal, a pen, light, a candle.
(10:28):
Right To receive, but also toshow up as a student, right,
reach out the Flower of Life.
Akashic Certification is such abeautiful pathway really for
all of these pieces.
And I want to also drop us intoa little bit of embodiment work.
Specifically, today we're goingto be talking about the womb.
(10:50):
So if you're ready to lead fromthat soulful, embodied place of
feminine leadership, ofintention, right To create
meaningful impact and to thriveas a mother and a leader, this
is the place we're going toredefine leadership together,
(11:10):
right Together, to really openthe way to this new paradigm of
motherhood.
Okay, so today we're talkingabout like why conscious mothers
are the leaders the world needs, which I already really touched
in on and why we need mothersto take themselves out of places
(11:32):
of distraction, out of thatswirling energy and out of chaos
, and why it becomes soimportant to come back into a
place of connection, tocultivate sacred space to claim
space to tend to your ownautonomy, your own sovereignty,
your own connection to selfright.
And so part of you knowdismantling and kind of breaking
(11:55):
down this idea of mother rightand what it means to lead like a
mother is by coming into thisdeeper relationship to self and
this place of robust, radiant,expansive energy as a mother, as
a leader, right Becomes veryimportant so that we can anchor
(12:18):
this frequency of nourishmentright, so that we can really
start to mirror for our childrenwhat it means to show up with
two feet on the ground, centered, anchor in our radiant feminine
power right, heart open,connected, clear on who we are
and who we're being called to be.
(12:41):
These are things they don'tlearn in school.
These are things even if you'rea homeschooling mother, right,
and you've taken the courageoussteps of pursuing that.
And again, side note,homeschooling doesn't work for
every mother and that isperfectly fine.
It didn't work for me, but wefound a pretty happy balance.
But, more than anything, Itruly believe that the
(13:02):
authenticity and sovereignty andbeing rooted in our power and
being able to hold and manageour own energy in really
powerful ways that don't take usoutside of ourselves right
Become one of the mostinstrumental things that we can
embody for our children.
Right, because if you can teachyour child how to anchor into
(13:23):
sovereignty and to hold thatenergy in our relationships, in
our communities, in the world.
Right, advocating for our ownvoice, our own needs, our own
dreams, what better teacherright Is there than embodying
that as a mother?
Right?
(13:44):
Embodiment means that weunderstand deeply what it means
to be these things and we are it.
So our children learn throughtransmission and then we also
understand how to build thatwithin our children, to build
that within our children.
(14:05):
So part of this leadership asmothers is looking at and
noticing where and when we gettaken out of our sovereignty and
our leadership.
What systems, what oldrelationship dynamics, what
communities, what environmentsright take us out of that and
then being able to establishboundaries and then also pivot
(14:26):
our life experience in a waythat honors our values and our
truth as mothers, women, asleaders.
That honors our values and ourtruth as mothers, women, as
leaders.
Right.
That becomes very pivotal andimportant for you, for your
leadership, for who you are as amother and also for the next
generation.
(14:47):
So often when I'm talking tomothers, you know they are like.
They put the emphasis on thechildren and I think that's
really beautiful.
But when we're talking aboutmothers as leaders right, and
being in our sovereign creativepower we have to have a creative
vision that actually aligns towhat we want.
(15:10):
Aligns to what we want,prioritizing the mother's vision
, needs, wants, desires, almostto the point that it's first
right, so that the mother'snourishment, expression and
freedom takes precedence, sothat her vision includes that
expansiveness of her radianceand her nourishment and it's
(15:34):
anchored in the scope of thevision that she's being called
to birth, because that truly issuch a gift for the family, for
the children and for herself.
So one of the invitations that Iwant to make today is what do
(15:56):
you value?
Who are you being called to be?
What does the vision that youwant to birth for yourself look
like?
And then, where does yourfamily, where do the children
fit into that?
And two, because our creative,our divine, creational energy
ignites through a deep space ofour unique wants, needs, desires
(16:17):
, as sacred women.
So it's like how do we get todesign the life that we're being
called to live in a way thatreally really ignites us, turns
us on, moves us into joyful,co-creative energy?
(16:40):
So I'm making that invitation tojust start to open up, because
one thing that mothers often dois they take themselves out of
the equation.
Well, I want this and this andthis for my child, I want this
and this and this.
Okay, well, what about you?
Where's your nourishment in allof this?
Because, truly, if we want toshow up and be able to hold the
(17:01):
vision that we have for ourchildren in a way that actually
feels nourishing for our systems, right, in a way where it
creates expansion andrecalibration for who we are as
mothers, right, we'll always beusing our own vital life force,
energy and tending to the needsof others without fully tending
(17:22):
to our own energetic resourcesand desires.
When we can place precedenceover that.
It actually feeds and nourishes, it actually anchors in a whole
different vibrationalexperience for who we are as
mothers, and it feeds and itnurtures our children by osmosis
(17:43):
.
So it's important that we gofirst, that we start to explore
what our dreams, what our visionfor freedom is, and, by nature,
it will include our children,it will include our families, it
will often include ourcommunities, so starting to
understand what it is that we'rebeing called into.
(18:12):
So I wanted to kind of touchinto I don't want to make.
I didn't want this to be superlong, but I want to give a few
little nuggets and I also wantto just take a couple minutes to
tap into the Akashic field.
I want to make that invitationand so if this speaks to you
grabbing your journal or justhands over heart I'm going to
guide you through a fewprocesses.
(18:33):
Journal or just hands overheart, I'm going to guide you
through a few processes.
If you want to hit pause andjournal away, you can.
We're going to very shortmethod access the Akashic
records, the Akashic field,which everyone has access to.
Naturally.
If this is something that youwant to go deeper with, you can
head over to theakashicwomenschoolcom slash free
gift.
There's a whole seven dayjournal there.
You can access and explore thatmore fully.
(18:55):
So go ahead and settle into acomfortable position.
The Akashic records are apowerful tool for connecting to
your soul's wisdom.
We're going to reflect on whatyour leadership looks like when
it's aligned to your higherpurpose as a mother and as a
(19:16):
leader.
So the Akashic records are abeautiful, ancient spiritual
healing tool that connect us toour soul both the beauty, the
purpose of our soul and thenalso sometimes, where we've got
(19:37):
deeply entrenched energeticpatterns that keep us
disconnected from the fullerexpression of our purpose in the
world.
So I want you to go ahead andjust start to take a deep breath
, in through the mouth, downinto the energetic womb space
(19:58):
and then up and out through themouth, and we'll do that two
more times, bringing to thecount of three beautiful.
(20:19):
We're going to visualize your,ourselves, stepping into a
sacred space.
So closing your eyes, droppingyour chin, visualizing yourself
stepping into a sacred space,and this could be a golden
library, it could be a beautifulgarden or any space that just
feels aligned with your soul'senergy and just trusting, just
(20:45):
allowing yourself to center intothat space, to attuning to the
peace, to the solitude, to thevibration, to the energy, to the
color, to the texture, to theinformation that's present in
that space.
And once you're in there,you're just going to take a
(21:11):
moment and attune to your soul.
I'm going to go ahead and calldown the temples of divine love,
light, truth, abundance, wisdomand power to descend, grow, to
be revealed now, and you're justgoing to stream of
(21:38):
consciousness right.
Here's your first question whatdoes my unique leadership look
like when it's aligned with myhighest purpose as a mother and
or a leader.
So at this point you can goahead and press pause, if that
(22:06):
works for you, and you cancontinue journaling.
And you can continue journaling.
Here's the next question whatstrengths do I already have as a
mother that make me a naturalleader?
And you can press pause andyou're in a stream of
(22:35):
consciousness, writing.
You want to write down any words, any images or feelings that
came through to you.
All right, there are no rightor wrong answers.
(23:05):
You're just going to trust whatyou receive.
And maybe it wasn't words thatcame through, maybe it was a
visual, maybe it was an animalright, our intuition speaks in a
(23:26):
lot of different languages andso, just allowing this to be a
playful process of discovery andagain, if this is something
that you want to go deeper with,definitely check out the seven
day journal.
All right, we're going to go alittle bit deeper.
So, now that we've connected toyour soul's perspective on
(23:46):
leadership and your authenticleadership, we're going to move
into just a very briefwomb-centered meditation.
We always want to feel in ourleadership, our feminine,
embodied leadership.
We're anchored, we're aligned,we're activated.
So the womb's not just aphysical space, it's an
energetic center of creation ofwisdom, of intuition, of power
(24:14):
of healing.
So, of course, by groundinginto the space, we can embody
the leadership insights thatwe've just explored.
So I want to get once againinvite you to close your eyes
and place one or both hands overyour womb space, and this, if
you have a physical womb or not,it does not matter, it does not
(24:36):
matter.
So you're just placing bothyour hands over your lower belly
and you're going to take a deepinhale in through the nose,
filling your belly with air, andthen exhaling through your
mouth, releasing any tension.
And you'll do that a few moretimes, feeling your body begin
(24:58):
to relax and your awarenesssettle into your womb space, and
you can just notice what.
You notice any feelings, anysensation.
Begin to imagine a golden,glowing light in the womb space,
and it is just glowing sosoftly.
With each inhale you're goingto see that light grow stronger
(25:24):
and with each exhale, feel itradiating out into your entire
body.
As you focus on that light, askyourself what am I ready to
create?
(25:44):
Or how am I ready to lead inthis season of my life?
What wisdom does my womb holdabout my leadership journey?
Okay, I just want you to trustwhatever comes up.
(26:04):
It could be sensations, itcould be a word, it could be
emotions.
If it's emotions, I invite youto breathe into that.
It could be emotions.
If it's emotions, I invite youto breathe into that.
You could even stand up andjust kind of gently, like you
know, shake your legs, shakeyour hips, just kind of shake it
(26:27):
out and breathe.
Connecting to the womb isactually so simple, but it does
require devotion, requires,practicing, connecting, bringing
our love, attention, focus,over and over again.
It's like a relationship and itbegins to speak and sometimes
we have to heal some layers.
We have to just bring thatmindfulness, that intention,
(26:49):
that listening, so just trusting.
Maybe you have a visual, maybeit's sensations or a word.
Whatever it is, you can justtake a moment to write it down,
(27:10):
take a few more cleansingbreaths into the womb space.
I did just get a visual.
Actually, my visual is I'llhave to sit with this one.
It's actually a big gray rock,is what came through.
Pretty big, I'd say, three feetlong, four feet high, and I
(27:31):
feel like I've met this rocksomewhere.
I was actually in the Rockiesthis summer and I love rocks.
I'll often stop and spend timewith them if I'm drawn to one
and it's not uncommon for me tosay hello.
I love their presence, I lovethat ancient wisdom that they
bring, I love the medicine ofthe elders that they bring, so
(27:56):
I'm going to sit with that.
I definitely have also beenfeeling, especially with this
January, energy.
I'm finding my flow becauseI've been tending to the
cauldron of the womb space againand moving into my embodiment
practices in the morning.
So that's been really juicy andI'm finding flow again and I'm
also noticing the melt come alittle bit with the changing
(28:18):
temperatures.
But the rock also is kind ofit's speaking to me about
presence and power, but alsosometimes feeling a little bit
too present, too grounded, whereI'm not necessarily getting the
flow, which is actually notnormal for me.
That's something that I'venoticed the last little bit.
(28:41):
So just to give a share Now.
If you would like to share withme, please come on over to the
Facebook group which I'm goingto be renaming renaming, but

To be completely honest, Idon't actually really know what
to call myself.
Right now.
I'm the founder of the AkashicWomen's School that school
existed for a good five yearsthe creator of the Flower of
Life Akashic Certification.
I've been doing this work for along time in the online space
almost 14 years and have helpedhundreds of women from around

It's time to solidify and alignand simplify and amplify and

all of the juiciness that comeswith embodied feminine
leadership.
We get aligned, we get anchored, we get activated, and that's

And so I digress.
So let's go ahead and jump intoLead Like a Mother.
I'm going to be working on theintro and the music and all the
fun pieces.
But here we go.
Welcome to Lead Like a Mother.
(04:53):
I of course am your host, taraPreston ha and all the fun
pieces.
But here we go, welcome to LeadLike a Mother.
I of course am your host, taraPreston, hailing all the way
from the great Canadian North.
We're just getting out of thevery cold deep freeze.
This is a podcast for consciousmothers and leaders, really, who
are ready to align with theirembodied feminine leadership.
(05:17):
All right, you want to embracefeminine leadership for these
new times.
You want to create prosperity?
You want to really be congruentto your deeper purpose?
Right, because you know thatyou're here to live from a very
rooted, very full, very radiantplace of mother right, of being
(05:46):
the mother.
Right, which is a completeparadigm shift for so many of us
, where we've seen our mothersoperating from push go, do,
hustle, contraction, disconnect,depletion, depression, right,
we don't typically live in aworld that values the archetype
of the mother on a lot ofdifferent levels and yet a
(06:09):
mother who is connected androbust and in her power,
activated, awakened in her turnon, connected in her leadership
right, like that soulful wisdom,that soulful vision that guides
her path, is a powerhouse Is apowerhouse.
(06:31):
Oh, I just had.
Okay, here we go.
I had a little tight glitch.
I'm still recording Beautiful.
(06:54):
So every episode we'll be divinginto things that touch in on
what it means to lead like amother, so that mothers can
contribute to the evolutionright, to the freedom, to the
collective healing, to thefinancial liberation of
themselves, of their families,communities, the planet right,
and what it really means to diveinto these unique challenges
(07:15):
and opportunities that mothersoften face, conscious mothers,
leaders often face when they'recalled to way show right Into
this new paradigm.
I think it's important that wehave these resources and that we
stay connected, because thechallenges are definitely there,
because we push up against somuch, collectively really, some
(07:41):
of the outdated consciousnessand structures that exist within
the family unit, in ourcommunities, through things that
run even through the sisterhoodwound, even through the mother
wound.
It's there and these challengesaround parenting right, what it
means to instill authenticleadership in our children.
So these are really importantdiscussions to have right, so
(08:03):
that we don't stay stuck, so wedon't stay isolated, so that we
continue to move and grow andexpand and find freedom right
and take up space and really bethe leaders that the world needs
.
Right, mothers do have a uniqueperspective because they are so
tapped in, tuned into the nextgeneration.
(08:27):
Right, they're listening andoften conscious.
Mothers are seers.
They see, right, they're veryempathic, they see and they feel
.
And they see and they feel notjust the structures and systems
of oppression that they push upagainst, whether it's
internalized or external.
Right, they can see it withintheir children as well, what
(08:52):
they're pushing up, and so theyget a bigger, broader framework
of what it is that we'renavigating, and so we often we
need mothers to be able to trusttheir instincts, their
intuition, their impulses.
Right that soulful knowing andclarity, because they're not
just way showing for others,right who they're in community
(09:15):
with, they're way showing fortheir children, advocating for
their children.
So trusting your own leadershipbecomes crucial.
So we're going to have soulfulconversations, practical tools,
transformational insights.
We're going to talk aboutanchoring into motherhood and
leadership with authenticity,embodied feminine power from our
(09:36):
flow, from our freedom, fromour prosperity and impact.
We will be talking abouthealing generational patterns
right, generational patternsrooted in scarcity.
Right and pushing and going indepletion and disconnect, in
(09:57):
survival, right, we'll betalking about all that.
I'm going to weave in Akashicwisdom, kind of mini, bite-sized
, two or three little prompts.
So I invite you to bring yourjournal, a pen light, a candle.
So I invite you to bring yourjournal, a pen, light, a candle.
(10:28):
Right To receive, but also toshow up as a student, right,
reach out the Flower of Life.
Akashic Certification is such abeautiful pathway really for
all of these pieces.
And I want to also drop us intoa little bit of embodiment work.
Specifically, today we're goingto be talking about the womb.
(10:50):
So if you're ready to lead fromthat soulful, embodied place of
feminine leadership, ofintention, right To create
meaningful impact and to thriveas a mother and a leader, this
is the place we're going toredefine leadership together,
(11:10):
right Together, to really openthe way to this new paradigm of
motherhood.
Okay, so today we're talkingabout like why conscious mothers
are the leaders the world needs, which I already really touched
in on and why we need mothersto take themselves out of places
(11:32):
of distraction, out of thatswirling energy and out of chaos
, and why it becomes soimportant to come back into a
place of connection, tocultivate sacred space to claim
space to tend to your ownautonomy, your own sovereignty,
your own connection to selfright.
And so part of you knowdismantling and kind of breaking
(11:55):
down this idea of mother rightand what it means to lead like a
mother is by coming into thisdeeper relationship to self and
this place of robust, radiant,expansive energy as a mother, as
a leader, right Becomes veryimportant so that we can anchor
(12:18):
this frequency of nourishmentright, so that we can really
start to mirror for our childrenwhat it means to show up with
two feet on the ground, centered, anchor in our radiant feminine
power right, heart open,connected, clear on who we are
and who we're being called to be.
(12:41):
These are things they don'tlearn in school.
These are things even if you'rea homeschooling mother, right,
and you've taken the courageoussteps of pursuing that.
And again, side note,homeschooling doesn't work for
every mother and that isperfectly fine.
It didn't work for me, but wefound a pretty happy balance.
But, more than anything, Itruly believe that the
(13:02):
authenticity and sovereignty andbeing rooted in our power and
being able to hold and manageour own energy in really
powerful ways that don't take usoutside of ourselves right
Become one of the mostinstrumental things that we can
embody for our children.
Right, because if you can teachyour child how to anchor into
(13:23):
sovereignty and to hold thatenergy in our relationships, in
our communities, in the world.
Right, advocating for our ownvoice, our own needs, our own
dreams, what better teacherright Is there than embodying
that as a mother?
Right?
(13:44):
Embodiment means that weunderstand deeply what it means
to be these things and we are it.
So our children learn throughtransmission and then we also
understand how to build thatwithin our children, to build
that within our children.
(14:05):
So part of this leadership asmothers is looking at and
noticing where and when we gettaken out of our sovereignty and
our leadership.
What systems, what oldrelationship dynamics, what
communities, what environmentsright take us out of that and
then being able to establishboundaries and then also pivot
(14:26):
our life experience in a waythat honors our values and our
truth as mothers, women, asleaders.
That honors our values and ourtruth as mothers, women, as
leaders.
Right.
That becomes very pivotal andimportant for you, for your
leadership, for who you are as amother and also for the next
generation.
(14:47):
So often when I'm talking tomothers, you know they are like.
They put the emphasis on thechildren and I think that's
really beautiful.
But when we're talking aboutmothers as leaders right, and
being in our sovereign creativepower we have to have a creative
vision that actually aligns towhat we want.
(15:10):
Aligns to what we want,prioritizing the mother's vision
, needs, wants, desires, almostto the point that it's first
right, so that the mother'snourishment, expression and
freedom takes precedence, sothat her vision includes that
expansiveness of her radianceand her nourishment and it's
(15:34):
anchored in the scope of thevision that she's being called
to birth, because that truly issuch a gift for the family, for
the children and for herself.
So one of the invitations that Iwant to make today is what do
(15:56):
you value?
Who are you being called to be?
What does the vision that youwant to birth for yourself look
like?
And then, where does yourfamily, where do the children
fit into that?
And two, because our creative,our divine, creational energy
ignites through a deep space ofour unique wants, needs, desires
(16:17):
, as sacred women.
So it's like how do we get todesign the life that we're being
called to live in a way thatreally really ignites us, turns
us on, moves us into joyful,co-creative energy?
(16:40):
So I'm making that invitation tojust start to open up, because
one thing that mothers often dois they take themselves out of
the equation.
Well, I want this and this andthis for my child, I want this
and this and this.
Okay, well, what about you?
Where's your nourishment in allof this?
Because, truly, if we want toshow up and be able to hold the
(17:01):
vision that we have for ourchildren in a way that actually
feels nourishing for our systems, right, in a way where it
creates expansion andrecalibration for who we are as
mothers, right, we'll always beusing our own vital life force,
energy and tending to the needsof others without fully tending
(17:22):
to our own energetic resourcesand desires.
When we can place precedenceover that.
It actually feeds and nourishes, it actually anchors in a whole
different vibrationalexperience for who we are as
mothers, and it feeds and itnurtures our children by osmosis
(17:43):
.
So it's important that we gofirst, that we start to explore
what our dreams, what our visionfor freedom is, and, by nature,
it will include our children,it will include our families, it
will often include ourcommunities, so starting to
understand what it is that we'rebeing called into.
(18:12):
So I wanted to kind of touchinto I don't want to make.
I didn't want this to be superlong, but I want to give a few
little nuggets and I also wantto just take a couple minutes to
tap into the Akashic field.
I want to make that invitationand so if this speaks to you
grabbing your journal or justhands over heart I'm going to
guide you through a fewprocesses.
(18:33):
Journal or just hands overheart, I'm going to guide you
through a few processes.
If you want to hit pause andjournal away, you can.
We're going to very shortmethod access the Akashic
records, the Akashic field,which everyone has access to.
Naturally.
If this is something that youwant to go deeper with, you can
head over to theakashicwomenschoolcom slash free
gift.
There's a whole seven dayjournal there.
You can access and explore thatmore fully.
(18:55):
So go ahead and settle into acomfortable position.
The Akashic records are apowerful tool for connecting to
your soul's wisdom.
We're going to reflect on whatyour leadership looks like when
it's aligned to your higherpurpose as a mother and as a
(19:16):
leader.
So the Akashic records are abeautiful, ancient spiritual
healing tool that connect us toour soul both the beauty, the
purpose of our soul and thenalso sometimes, where we've got
(19:37):
deeply entrenched energeticpatterns that keep us
disconnected from the fullerexpression of our purpose in the
world.
So I want you to go ahead andjust start to take a deep breath
, in through the mouth, downinto the energetic womb space
(19:58):
and then up and out through themouth, and we'll do that two
more times, bringing to thecount of three beautiful.
(20:19):
We're going to visualize your,ourselves, stepping into a
sacred space.
So closing your eyes, droppingyour chin, visualizing yourself
stepping into a sacred space,and this could be a golden
library, it could be a beautifulgarden or any space that just
feels aligned with your soul'senergy and just trusting, just
(20:45):
allowing yourself to center intothat space, to attuning to the
peace, to the solitude, to thevibration, to the energy, to the
color, to the texture, to theinformation that's present in
that space.
And once you're in there,you're just going to take a
(21:11):
moment and attune to your soul.
I'm going to go ahead and calldown the temples of divine love,
light, truth, abundance, wisdomand power to descend, grow, to
be revealed now, and you're justgoing to stream of
(21:38):
consciousness right.
Here's your first question whatdoes my unique leadership look
like when it's aligned with myhighest purpose as a mother and
or a leader.
So at this point you can goahead and press pause, if that
(22:06):
works for you, and you cancontinue journaling.
And you can continue journaling.
Here's the next question whatstrengths do I already have as a
mother that make me a naturalleader?
And you can press pause andyou're in a stream of
(22:35):
consciousness, writing.
You want to write down any words, any images or feelings that
came through to you.
All right, there are no rightor wrong answers.
(23:05):
You're just going to trust whatyou receive.
And maybe it wasn't words thatcame through, maybe it was a
visual, maybe it was an animalright, our intuition speaks in a
(23:26):
lot of different languages andso, just allowing this to be a
playful process of discovery andagain, if this is something
that you want to go deeper with,definitely check out the seven
day journal.
All right, we're going to go alittle bit deeper.
So, now that we've connected toyour soul's perspective on
(23:46):
leadership and your authenticleadership, we're going to move
into just a very briefwomb-centered meditation.
We always want to feel in ourleadership, our feminine,
embodied leadership.
We're anchored, we're aligned,we're activated.
So the womb's not just aphysical space, it's an
energetic center of creation ofwisdom, of intuition, of power
(24:14):
of healing.
So, of course, by groundinginto the space, we can embody
the leadership insights thatwe've just explored.
So I want to get once againinvite you to close your eyes
and place one or both hands overyour womb space, and this, if
you have a physical womb or not,it does not matter, it does not
(24:36):
matter.
So you're just placing bothyour hands over your lower belly
and you're going to take a deepinhale in through the nose,
filling your belly with air, andthen exhaling through your
mouth, releasing any tension.
And you'll do that a few moretimes, feeling your body begin
(24:58):
to relax and your awarenesssettle into your womb space, and
you can just notice what.
You notice any feelings, anysensation.
Begin to imagine a golden,glowing light in the womb space,
and it is just glowing sosoftly.
With each inhale you're goingto see that light grow stronger
(25:24):
and with each exhale, feel itradiating out into your entire
body.
As you focus on that light, askyourself what am I ready to
create?
(25:44):
Or how am I ready to lead inthis season of my life?
What wisdom does my womb holdabout my leadership journey?
Okay, I just want you to trustwhatever comes up.
(26:04):
It could be sensations, itcould be a word, it could be
emotions.
If it's emotions, I invite youto breathe into that.
It could be emotions.
If it's emotions, I invite youto breathe into that.
You could even stand up andjust kind of gently, like you
know, shake your legs, shakeyour hips, just kind of shake it
(26:27):
out and breathe.
Connecting to the womb isactually so simple, but it does
require devotion, requires,practicing, connecting, bringing
our love, attention, focus,over and over again.
It's like a relationship and itbegins to speak and sometimes
we have to heal some layers.
We have to just bring thatmindfulness, that intention,
(26:49):
that listening, so just trusting.
Maybe you have a visual, maybeit's sensations or a word.
Whatever it is, you can justtake a moment to write it down,
(27:10):
take a few more cleansingbreaths into the womb space.
I did just get a visual.
Actually, my visual is I'llhave to sit with this one.
It's actually a big gray rock,is what came through.
Pretty big, I'd say, three feetlong, four feet high, and I
(27:31):
feel like I've met this rocksomewhere.
I was actually in the Rockiesthis summer and I love rocks.
I'll often stop and spend timewith them if I'm drawn to one
and it's not uncommon for me tosay hello.
I love their presence, I lovethat ancient wisdom that they
bring, I love the medicine ofthe elders that they bring, so
(27:56):
I'm going to sit with that.
I definitely have also beenfeeling, especially with this
January, energy.
I'm finding my flow becauseI've been tending to the
cauldron of the womb space againand moving into my embodiment
practices in the morning.
So that's been really juicy andI'm finding flow again and I'm
also noticing the melt come alittle bit with the changing
(28:18):
temperatures.
But the rock also is kind ofit's speaking to me about
presence and power, but alsosometimes feeling a little bit
too present, too grounded, whereI'm not necessarily getting the
flow, which is actually notnormal for me.
That's something that I'venoticed the last little bit.
(28:41):
So just to give a share Now.
If you would like to share withme, please come on over to the
Facebook group which I'm goingto be renaming renaming, but
