These girls got each other’s backs. Their mamas do too. #thefutureisfemale #brooklynbornandraised #nolasbirthdayparty #ecinaceaflower #calendula #rosemary #sweetannie #tulsi on the menu this week. Tinctures, oils, infusions and smudges all in process. Loving my plant medicine training with @gatheringground. It’s opened up a whole other world for me... my family thinks I’m crazy, always talking to the plants in the house and on the street, but their aliveness is suddenly so apparent to me. Happy to be forming these new relationships with other life forms.. 🍃🌺🍀🌼🌿 🐅DURGA🐅 flag planted on my street offering everyone protection as they pass by. Thank you to the soul who offered this up! We need it more than ever in this wild world. 🖤🧡🖤🧡 🌿🍀CBD 🍀🌿 I can’t walk down the streets of NY without hearing about it at least a few times per week!! As a person in the wellness space, my inbox and instagram is filled with it. We all want it, NEED IT, esp in this fast-paced city. This ancient/new form of medicine is changing lives, one testimonial at a time. I was lucky enough to get my hands on this beautiful product from @iammastergrowers and have been quietly sharing it, researching and educating myself on it’s uses and benefits for the past year. #CBD is so well received into the body because we are born with systems to receive it. The #endocannabinoidsystem. Cool stuff. Consider it a nervous system superfood. For more info, feel free to DM me or to try it for yourself, stop by @minkabrooklyn! They carry the full line. We have formulations for every body! #CBDtincture #CBDvape #CBDointment #CBDturmericpills #worldbreastfeedingweek got me remembering the good ol days of boob in the mouth to soothe her. Now we comfort and communicate in a different way, which has stretched our communication skills. Our needs have changed! (This doesn’t last forever, new mamas!) This bond we created by doing what felt right even when tested allowed for beautiful trust to be built between us. I’m grateful for our persistence through what felt completely uncontrollable and her need for that connection and sustenance. I often say now I would do it differently if I had a chance to do it again. Put baby on a schedule and have them sleep separately from me, but every baby is different. Nola would have never let me!! Idk if I would have let her. I’m so grateful we were able to meet each other needs through our natural inclanations. I see it paying off as she grows into her bigger self -- confident and ready for the world, knowing mama always there even if we're apart. Now I support lots of families through this experience from this lens: that each mama:baby dyad is unique. Every family needs something different. It's all about figuring out what's right for the whole. 💗🤱🏽🌎🤱🏻🌍🤱🏾🌏🤱🏼💗
