***This post is NOT an invitation to discuss your opinions about Lindsay or what you think the outcome of the trial should be, please refrain from debates about that.

This post IS an invitation to share your experiences, if you feel called, to read those comments from other women, and to LEARN.

Most importantly, this post is for INFORMATION, and to offer RESOURCES to anyone who needs it. And to remind everyone that this is heavy, you’re not alone, you can heal from these illnesses and help is available.

I’ve been feeling a lot of heaviness around the Lindsay Clancy trial. I have the desire to watch, I think it’s important- and- I know I need to protect my own mental health and I have been struggling to balance those two truths.

I experienced pretty severe PPD and PPA- and still struggle with anxiety. It is hard to listen, and I feel strongly that part of my purpose in this lifetime is to be an advocate for women and mothers.

I know there are many of us out here struggling as we watch trial this play out. Reading some horrible comments online. Dealing with so many confusing and overwhelming feelings.

Maybe you are reliving your own experience, maybe you are in a post partum period and struggling right now. Maybe you are worried about a friend or family member.

Maybe you didn’t struggle with this and you’re finding it hard to have compassion or understanding. Maybe you have a lot of anger toward Lindsay and moms that have been through similar experiences- I understand that too. I encourage you to also visit websites like postpartum international- we need to have more knowledge and understanding about these illnesses. The more we destigmatize these things, the more people will talk and learn, and accept that these very real illnesses are part of life- the more women will feel comfortable about asking for and accepting help.

♥️♥️♥️
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID
IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING- THERE IS HELP.

Postpartum Suport International has a lot of resources. Mass General has resources.

Please check on each other. Talk about these things. We need to bring this out of the shadows. No one should be suffering alone.
♥️🙏

When I founded ROOT+RISE, my vision always included sharing this space with other heart-centered practitioners.

Recently, that vision has become even clearer, and I’ve updated our messaging to more authentically reflect the heart of what ROOT+RISE is all about.

If you’re a heart-centered practitioner looking for a warm, welcoming space and a collaborative community to grow your practice, I’d love to connect and hear what you’re building.

And if someone comes to mind, I’d be so grateful if you’d share this with them. 🙏❤️

A message for whoever needs it right now:

Acceptance IS the answer to all your problems.

This is a prayer that has helped me a lot.

if you focus on what is wrong- nothing will ever be good enough.

Nothing is ever going to be perfect, it’s not going to be “done”.

Everything we do- there is always going to be something else that needs to be done

Your happiness, your peace, your comfort- needs to come from inside yourself.

And it IS hard. It’s hard for everyone. Because our brains are naturally designed to see the bad. Our brains were not designed to keep us happy- they were designed to keep us safe and alive.
So they are naturally programmed to find things that are “wrong”.

You have to consciously decide to look for the things that bring joy.

There are many things that are not perfect. And it’s totally OK and good to want to improve things.- AND at the same time- you have to accept things the way they are.

I know there are things you want to improve or change- And things take time and everything is never going to be “complete”. There will always be something that could be better.

So- you need to try to find peace with what is.

Try to find 5 things you love about your room. 5 things you love about your life. And try to keep focusing on those things when you start to get overwhelmed with things that feel unacceptable.

Accepting things as they are DOES NOT mean that you never improve or change. It just means that you trust in Gods plan and Gods timing, and you can be at peace with what is while you wait for what is coming.

🙏🏼♥️

I am birthing a new version of myself.

I think in some ways we are always birthing new versions of ourselves… but this particular gestation and labor has been a long one.

🌑♉️ The other night- Under the New Moon in Ta**us, I asked Hecate to walk beside me through this portal.

I was reminded of giving birth to Allie.
The ring of fire.

My midwife telling me to slow down, breathe, and allow my body to open.

But I pushed hard and fast.

I couldn’t stay with the intensity of the moment.
I forced my way through it—🩸bleeding and tearing.

❤️‍🔥I see now how often this pattern has lived in me:
pushing past myself,
clenching through discomfort,
trying to force transformation before it is ready.

🧘‍♀️This time, I am choosing to stay with myself and my big feelings as this new chapter reveals itself.

📿To let myself be held by God, by Hecate, by Mary, by the unseen support that surrounds me, so that this new version may emerge in her own time, with as little bleeding and tearing as possible ♥️🙏🩸

🫶The room does not need to be spotless.

Life does not need to be fully figured out.

You do not need to wait until you are healed, certain, rested, enlightened, or “ready enough” to be with yourself.

🕯️Sometimes spirituality looks less like an aesthetic ritual and more like lighting a candle in the middle of your messy life.

🧺 Pulling cards beside a pile of unfolded laundry.

🙏Praying while overwhelmed.

Calling in support while things are still uncertain.

🙌You do not have to wait for perfection to work your magic.
