Being a Muse Mama
🎨Being a Muse Mama🎨
Sometimes being a Muse Mama is doing your creative work, painting in the studio...
Sometimes it’s being interrupted 10x a minute & finding ways to get back into flow
Sometimes doing creative work is designing marketing materials for a client
Sometimes it’s releasing old visions for your work & pivoting towards the new & therefore scary
Sometimes it’s finding ingredients for an impromptu cookie baking session that is kid friendly.
Sometimes being a Muse Mama is being ready to face your battle with Resistance with a warrior spirit
Sometimes it’s using that fierce spirit to hold back the frustration because baby won’t nap. So your battle is still with Resistance, but involves cuddles on the stairs.
Sometimes being a Muse Mama is weaving your creative work with your mama duties.
Holding both worlds, both demands for your full attention & giving your heart fully to both.
Sometimes being a Muse Mama is recognising you need to recover your own well. Embracing the ‘selfish’ desire to DO nothing and just BE. For no one else except for YOU.
So you can come back to your Muse Mama warrior self with an overflow of heart & energy tomorrow.
Sometimes being a Muse Mama feels like the easiest, most fulfilling & empowering privilege you have been honoured to be called to do.
Sometimes being a Muse Mama feels like slavery & self-imposed prison which you have somehow been burdened and mistakenly taken on FOR LIFE
Sometimes being a Muse Mama is just one thing. Following your calling. Do the work, the creative work, the Mama work, the self work, the connection & cultivation & communication & courageous work of weaving it all in relationship with yourself & the divine.
Sometimes being a Muse Mama is an overwhelming avalanche of demands, expectation & guilt. Leading to shame & old habits and beliefs about not being enough
Good enough
Worthy enough
Smart enough
Brace enough
Disciplined enough
Maternal enough
Loving enough
All are normal & common. You are not alone.
All are part of this life you yearn for, being all that you are in ALL your roles. While also striving for your next chapter.
All are a practice. A constant, daily practice.
A moment by moment, mindfully & intentional choice.
To choose to pick yourself up
To choose to celebrate all that you are
To choose to embrace all that you are longing to be
To choose to acknowledge your ambition & your practice
To choose to be grateful for what IS while also choosing to go after what is NEXT...and being grateful for the CALLING
To choose to see BOTH the gap between where you are now & where you hope to be
AND
the gap between where you are now & where you were. No matter how small your inner critic thinks it is.
To choose to pick up your warrior armour
To choose to drop that armour when you need support instead.
Being a Muse Mama is a choice
And also NOT a choice. It is who you ARE
Being mindful in your choosing, again and again to come back to your Muse Mama-ness
Embracing all the multi-facet parts of you
Acknowledging your ambition, your spirituality, your call to connect deeper with your creativity.
Know you aren’t alone
Know you ARE capable
Know you ALREADY ARE a Muse as well as a Mama.
All the shadows and falls and valleys and dark, foggy, tunnel days are just the many dimensions of your Muse Mama-ness.
Know you are doing AMAZING

p.s 💖ARE YOU A MUSE MAMA ?💖
Do you find yourself feeling this sense of DISatisfaction in your life?
Don’t get me wrong, you totally are GRATEFUL and your life is totally FINE…. Yet there is this BUT….
There is this sense that something is missing
You LOVE your kids — but you’re finding that they don’t need you as much anymore. Whether leaving the nest, starting full time school or just finding yourself coming out of the fog of those early months.
You are tired of only having stories about your kids to share. Something THEY did, something THEY achieved or learnt or did that was horrifying.
You had promised yourself that you weren’t going to be the mama that lives through their children!
That thing you’re missing? It’s the creative spark. It’s the spark of fulfilment that comes with feeling ON PURPOSE. It’s the spark of joy that gives life meaning.
You LOVE your kids — but they are NOT your identity (you want to find it or explore it more. Working out who you are in this new chapter)
You want to find YOU again
There is something MORE you are being called to do. You don’t need to be clear about what exactly that is…but you know that it’s there and you can’t ignore it anymore.
You know that ignoring that call, ignoring that inner voice is actually affecting the way you show up in your mamahood. You give EVERYTHING to your kids — but you need help to give that same love to YOURSELF
And you know that creativity is the seed from which the blossom of your next beautiful chapter will bloom.
Then I want to invite you to join us as a Muse Mama!
