With winter just around the corner, I can’t help but think about how this season invites us to slow down, reflect, and just be for a while. And honestly? It feels like such a relief.

You know, life has a way of getting overwhelming, doesn’t it? We juggle work, family, our health (oh, the health curveballs), and so many expectations. But winter, with its quiet chill, kind of gives us permission to step back. It whispers, “Hey, it’s okay to take a breath.” So, that’s what I’m doing, and I’d love for you to join me in this pause.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Chaya of Shomrit Momtana to talk about the sacred path of birth guardianship - a term I hadn’t heard until we connected. Chaya supports women in reclaiming their sovereignty throughout the birthing journey and her presence is so grounded and nurturing that just listening to her felt like being wrapped in the wisdom of generations.

As women, we all want to feel safe and empowered, whether we’re out running errands, spending time with loved ones, or even just enjoying a peaceful walk. But with everything going on in the world, it can be hard to know where to start. How do we stay aware and prepared without feeling overwhelmed or fearful? I’m sharing some practical, big sister-style safety tips that I recently discussed in an episode of The Freely Feminine Podcast with two incredible women, Taalyr and Annah.
