Life and Death with Kelly

No matter how ambitious, our resources are finite. We are allotted 24 hours each day.

And while parenting does require quite a bit of our resources, it cannot require all of them. We cannot survive that way, let alone thrive.

It’s such a tricky balance, how much of ourselves to give to our children. A part of me feels this is a balance we will reckon with every day of our lives. And I’m ok with that, just as long as I am making an effort to take up some space in my life, each and every day.

Being a mother cannot mean I no longer matter. I tried that. It didn’t go well.

Some days I might feel like I’ve taken up too much space, and some I might feel not enough, but I’m comforted by the fact that my efforts are more than enough. I’m here for this delicate dance. I’m here to learn. Probably forever.

During my death doula training, we were each asked to meditate on these contemplations developed by 11th century Buddhist scholar Atisha.

Ironically, I find that facing these 9 contemplations actually brings me more peace than it does fear.

I think I'll be adding them to my morning meditation!

Which contemplation resonates with you the most?

Which one do you struggle with the most?

Which one inspires you the most?

I’m SO excited to hold my first VIRTUAL Your Good Death workshop!

Sunday, October 8th at 11a PT on Zoom.

Get cozy with a beverage and treats of your choosing, and let’s support one another in facing our fears and beliefs around death and dying, and empower one another to envision what a “good” death means to us individually.

We’ll lift the veil, acknowledge the elephant in the room, and leave feeling inspired to live as fully and authentically as possible.

It’s going to be delightful ❤️.

Tickets can be purchased through the link in my bio.

I want to live deeply.

To experience every last inch of my life.

I want to live as liberated as possible.

Unapologetically, authentically, daringly me.

I don't want my life to be something I get through.

I want it to be something I experience fully.

Sitting with the uncomfortable, celebrating the joyful, staying curious during the mundane.

Always learning, always growing, always persevering.

I want that for you, too.

For my caregivers out there:

Whether you're raising children, caring for an ailing loved one, or both, time to honor your needs is scarce.

We often tell ourselves: I'll (insert dream, goal, or desire here) when (they leave the house, they are older, they die).

One day the dust will settle. The kids will leave the nest. The ailing loved one will get better, or they'll die. And the tornado sweeping through your life will cease to exist.

Plan for that. Know that one day, your house will likely be filled with a silence you haven't experienced in quite some time.

And then you'll have to take care of her.

She's not lost. She's still there. She just needs you to acknowledge her, one scarce moment at a time.

You're doing it all, but not well.

You're stretched beyond your means, and every moment is spoken for from the moment you wake, to the moment you collapse into bed.

How can you know what you want, need, desire when you don't have a moment of time to think about it?

She's not lost. She's still there. She just needs to move up on that priority list.

It's impossible to reconnect with your mind, body, soul and purpose when you feel like it's taking all of you just to keep your head above water.

Being everything to everyone else is exhausting.

It leaves no room for self-discovery or development.

It can feel like you're constantly failing someone or something, no matter how hard you try to balance it all.

You’re not lost. She’s still there. She just needs room to breathe.

Whether you're a mama, a caregiver, or a human working full-time hours, summer can often be ANYTHING but relaxing.

Keeping that in mind - I'm now offering summer hours for my coaching!

If you're looking to take up a little space in your life, but can't find the time in your schedule to do so, this might be just the thing for you!

Now, thru August 7th (when my two...angels?...return to school), I'll be offering evening and weekend slots!

Book your complimentary consultation now and claim your spot. Spaces are limited.

Not a mom, or just not into Mom Life Reimagined? Cool!

I'd love to work with you!

As proud as I am of what I've created in Mom Life Reimagined, I'm looking to spread my wings as well! I'm not just a coach for moms. I'M not just a mom.

I started out my coaching journey supporting women in various places in their lives, and with unique and inspiring goals and aspirations outside of motherhood.

So, if you're looking to work with a coach on living a life that you're excited for. One on your terms. One that digs deep to uncover and celebrate what makes you, YOU, I'd love to support you.

Because motherhood isn't for everyone, but taking up space is.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I’m offering the entire Mom Life Reimagined private coaching series for $625. That’s half the price!

Because we all deserve to take up a little more space in our lives 😉.

Book your discovery call by 5p on 5/14 to be eligible.
