A life of purpose

“To be strong does not mean to sprout muscles and flex. It means meeting one's own numinosity without fleeing, actively living with the wild nature in one's own way. It means to be able to learn, to be able to stand what we know. It means to stand and live.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

Sustainability Fangirl……. Blockchain gives me the warm fuzzies.

A little bit more about me…

I live in beautiful Whitefish, Montana. With my three-year-old daughter Sophia.
I spend the majority of my time at the gym, whether it be there for my job, or as my favorite hobby it seems to preoccupy the majority of my time.
I'm an active mother who enjoys all of the wonders Montana has to offer from hiking to paddleboarding we are always on the go.
I share my daughter with @kevinrussell.
I also became familiar with blockchain during my time in San Francisco, and have continued to find its expansion to be extraordinary and empowering.

I have always identified myself as an artist, from the way I view the world to how I wear my hair and clothing …
Art is in everything I do.
I'd like to think I cloak my self in authenticity and ask those around me to do the same.
I enjoy the raw vulnerability that comes from self-expression.
However, my purpose in this life is my Doula work, what is a doula you might ask…..

"a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period" (DONA.org).Jan 13, 2016

Yeah,that kinda sums it up…. I’m a birth Coach.

I can genuinely say I had no idea my own personal strength until I started my voyage as a mother, not even hiking the Himalayan mountains did I ever feel so much accomplishment as the day I held my beautiful Sophia in my arms for the first time.
With support from a strong community, I was able to stand steadfast in what intuitively felt right for the both of us from delayed vacations schedule, to co-sleeping.
My job as a fellow traveler on this path called parenthood is to support, educate, nourish, and hold space for those who need it….Whatever path you take.

Much like you can’t pour from an empty cup, a mother too must be nurtured and emotionally filled.
So, Steemit..... I hope you will join together with me through this community, and make the world a safe, healthy place.
so that we all might have the opportunity to grow ourselves and our future generations to come.
