A question that's asked far too often, of far too many. This is Kiren's story of searching for and choosing her own identity, alongside her Soul Sign Energy Portrait.
This is lovely, thank you for sharing Kiren's story. Doulas hold a special place in my heart as I work with many women through all stages of their pregnancy in my role as a chiropractor. I had a doula at the birth of my son as well. The world needs more doulas!
My favorite part of the article was Kiren's journey with her family, to go from hurt to open-hearted love. In today's world, we often hear of the opposite happening so it is wonderful to hear about a person doing the work to move forward with their family and embrace their roots.
That's so true, and I was so excited to hear about her decision to become a doula because she is so perfectly suited to it. I think she'll do an amazing job.
That's so true, I think the courage it takes to heal stuff with family is a whole next level. Not easy, and so encouraging to see examples of where it has been done. I was so moved by her story from that point of view too.
Thank you, as always, for your generous and kind comment. It means so much to me!
Incredible story and photos! I would be curious to know who else walked with her on this process. Sounds like she talked with her family of course. With community, we can heal and grow more deeply. Thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you so much Jodi. The lovely thing for this process was that I travelled to her for a few days, so we had a very intense but wonderful deep look at all that she's been through and healed over the last few years. It was a moment to pause and reflect, to really notice all of the lessons learnt and progress made. Such a celebration and a way to mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. I feel so lucky to be a witness sometimes, to listen to people and reflect that through visuals and words ❤️
You're not wrong! I paused my weekly letters in July to take some intentional rest. But in that space I've actually made a lot of new connections and have a lot of upcoming collaborations I'm really excited about!
In other news, we're still getting ready to move at the end of the month, so a lot of logistics and planning happening.
Expect an update in your inbox soon! And thanks for checking in. Sending love 💞
Oh I think the intentional rest is such a good idea. I've cut back on posting and trying to take a slow Summer too (which so far means a very unproductive one!) Really glad to hear though that some new connections have come your way and exciting collaborations ahead. I look forward to seeing and hearing more!
Hope the move goes well, planning to move soon too and I can understand the exhaustion/overwhelm it can cause!

Just a beautiful story and amazing portrait of a woman who is walking her path to truth of her soul. Such a gift 💝

Keep swimming, the trying, the journey, the going. That is where life is. ❤️
The process all-round!
Beautiful!
Thank you so much Mariah. How are you by the way?! I know you've been a bit quieter on here lately (I have too though so maybe I'm wrong!)
