It may be spooky season, but there’s nothing scary about what I’m about to share… MamaGenas.com – the online hub for all things SWA – has rebranded and is full of delightful new features to fill your cup with! My team and I have spent the past few months upgrading the site so that it’s …
This is not an easy time for those who are paying attention. This is not an easy time for hope. But these are exactly the times that require our attention and our hope. Active hope. Because the feminine grieves when grief is needed and rages when rage is needed but never does she remain still, …
I want to check in with you, with all of us: How’s your energy? Are you bouncing through the day, boundless and joyful? Or slugging it… Getting-it-all-done, but feeling depleted, running on fumes.
