Thank you for taking this stand, it's so ridiculous how much pressure there is in the entire system, students, teachers, administrators, all. This is important.

Being the eternal sunshine is a glorious practice, thank you for that wording... Weirdly for me, taking meticulous care of myself makes being the sunshine more natural - now I prioritize early mornings and don't miss workouts unless i'm on a plane. I know it sounds rigid but it does work for me.

Meticulous care of yourself..thank you! and absolutely. Not rigid at all- it sounds more like deeply self honouring. 🤗 I believe in this fully-

Sacred Motherhood as a conscious choice that needs to be rooted in our own capacity to nurture ourselves so that we can be of high service to those we love and our community.

Thank you 🙏 for inspiring me to write this post—which I sent in haste out of excitement and with many typos...now edited.

On another note these pictures are so precious. They reminded me of many moons ago when we met again ♥️

this is so true... it would be great if more mothers (and fathers) could give their children this wisdom to help them navigate through the world and their transition into adulthood. thank you for voicing it Delphine x

My daughter Thalia is in her last year of A Levels and the pressure is so intense that I actually had to tell her on more than one occasions that it’s absolutely fine to take a gap year if she doesn’t achieve all those high scores that are required in order to behave like a circus act.

Nobody should be expected to have everything figured out by the age of 20. This system is designed to crash people and their creativity. We need to be fierce in protecting our children.

yessss... different countries but same experience of needing to protect and to guide especially our young maidens..who need to honour deeply their feminine energy. Thalia is blessed to have you as her mama 🤗

I wish every young person who is still at school could read this!!!! As someone who resonates so much with school burnout/anxiety and who has been in the intense school system for so many years (and still is in it) this speaks to me so much… somehow the system makes you feel so

burnt out and also like you’re not doing enough. It’s a hard system to navigate - your kids are soooo lucky to have a mom who guides them in this way especially when school can be so draining and we are soooo beyond lucky to get to learn from your advice and guidance too 🥰❤️

yes - this is exactly it " the system makes you feel so"- this is how we become institutionalised if we do not reclaim our sovereignty and self advocate!! and you are already well on that path Mia 🤗🤍
