Mothers at Midnight PodcastEp 46 Birthing and being Birthed ~ Indigo & RoseWhat do you know about your birth? Was your mother supported? What was her experience? Our birth stories are also origin stories and they can offer you powerful insights into your life and the stories and patterns you carry with you. Likewise, our experience of giving birth can reveal things about ourselves that were previously hidden.

Mothers at Midnight PodcastMini Ep 41: Releasing Old Habits & Vital tip ~ Guided by RoseHow this exercise will support youWe will be focussing on releasing any habits that aren’t aligned with our intentions.

Mothers at Midnight PodcastEp 38 Gestate to Create ~ Indigo & RoseIn today’s episode we explore the importance of incubation (or gestation) in the creative process. In creating Mothers at Midnight we’ve found that we needed space and time to allow our ideas to form, when we tried to push things along we inevitably ran into more challenges and things just didn’t feel right. Learning to slow down, follow the creative process and allow it to take shape in a way that feels authentic for us has been a big learning curve.
