As I write this blog for you all, I am deep in pregnancy, almost 39 weeks with just one more to go until our “due date”. This post will be live on my actual “due date” and Baby G has either already arrived or will be here at any moment!

It’s been a time of awe and wonder, magic and mystery, tenderness and emotions, anticipation and excitement, grief and fear. Truly a full range! 

“Is it time yet”

One of the first things I hear whispered in my ear as I slowly open my eyes and stretch my tight body in the morning.

Aaron’s arm wrapped around my big, round belly! We both take a sharp and excited breath as we feel the baby’s foot kick on my right side. Even after 20 weeks of feeling the baby move around, every kick or movement of the baby’s booty feels so special!

Time is speeding up and slowing down all at once. Savoring every sweet and quiet moment but ready for this next chapter to begin. 

Something that has become so clear to me on this journey, we are not meant to do it alone!

As we enter the final weeks, I could not feel more held, supported and loved by Aaron. I know I have a true partner in life, love and family. The greatest blessing in life. 

And I am in a bubble of gratitude and love for the women I have in my life and all I have received from them as I enter into motherhood. I’ll never forget this rich moment in time, the love and intentions that were poured into me during my very special baby blessingway, a few weeks ago. 

As women, we are meant to do it together, as a tribe, as a collective

Supporting each other, lifting each other up, in a giving and receiving exchange

🪽Overflowing 

🪽Resourced

🪽Connected 

🪽Receptive

🪽Nourished

🪽Embodied

🪽Well rested

🪽Relaxed

For many years as the independent, boss babe, high-achieving maiden… I held the identity of doing it all on my own, without a man, without mentors, without practitioners, without sisters I could really vulnerably share with. 

As I have been journeying into motherhood and matriarch, I’ve been letting this old identity fully die and stepping into receiving as much (or if not more) than I am giving.

This means having all the support, a connected community and the mentorship I desire. 

It takes a village, and I’m letting myself fully receive from them!

Some of my village and tribe through this pregnancy, business and life this year include… 

✨ Sisterhood 

✨ Family support 

✨ Doula 

✨ Massage therapist 

✨ Acupuncturist 

✨ Chiropractor 

✨ Birth, lactation and Pelvic floor classes

✨ Business Mentor

✨ Holistic Life coach

✨ Wedding planner

✨ House cleaner 

✨ Virtual assistant 

✨ Couples therapist 

✨ Financial advisor

✨ Mama community 

✨ Home stylist

Not to mention my fiancé who’s holding our family in the most strong, devoted way.

And I have prepped my mind, body and spirit in all the ways too, with…

❤️ Hypnobirthing meditations 

❤️ Pelvic Floor PT

❤️ Prenatal massage 

❤️ Chiropractic care 

❤️ Acupuncture prenatal protocol 

❤️ Bouncing on my birth ball daily with lots of stretching

❤️ Long daily walks 

❤️ Lots of water and electrolytes 

❤️ Recently started eating dates

❤️ Prayer every day 

Some may say it’s too much, I don’t think there is such a thing. After trying to do it alone for too long, I know now there is never enough. 

And this will continue to shift, expand, evolve overtime and that’s the most beautiful part too. Always a chance to adjust and change for what’s most resonant and alive at any moment! 

I have a visual of my baby in my hands and then a collective of many hands holding me.

Whether you’re single, married, a mama or on your own unique journey… you deserve to receive this kind of love and support too.

Create your tribe and village babes!

For my next blog, Baby G will be earth side! And I am beyond excited to take you on this next chapter of my journey with me!

All my love, 

Whitney XOXO
