FREE WORKSHOP!

Becoming a mother changes everything, and it can make you feel like you’ve lost yourself – like you’re not sure who you are anymore.

In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to explore some of the changes that have happened in your life since you became a mother.

You will reconnect with who you are and what matters most to you,

and begin to explore who you want to be as a mother, too.

Then, you will create your own "Momifesto."

I created the Momifesto when I was in the early postpartum time with my own daughter, eight years ago, and since then, hundreds of women and clients have completed my Momifesto Workbook.

A Momifesto is a promise to yourself, and to your tiny human(s).

It is a declaration of your devotion both to motherhood, AND to yourself.

It is how you want to be, as a mother, and as a woman who happens to be a mother.

It is the kind of thing you keep tucked in your handbag or the pocket of your favourite cardigan for the times when you feel lost and unsure of yourself as you traverse through the foggy days of early motherhood.

It’s a compass for your motherhood, and a map back home to yourself.

One woman recently said:

“I started the momifesto last night. And I was in tears right from the first page as I finally felt like someone could see me and feel with me and help me come to grips with the reality that I’m in transition. I am now very excited (but patient) to meet the new me. And to introduce you to her too."

Hello all! Just sharing that today is the day to register for MotherSHIFT, which begins tomorrow.

It's a program for women in their first few years of motherhood, to support you to integrate the massive changes of motherhood, tap into a sense of community, and go from surviving to thriving!

Here's some details:

Imagine if we saw Motherhood as a sacred rite of passage that allowed women to access their deepest power. MotherSHIFT is an online program to support women as they transition into Motherhood.

Offering up some information about an upcoming program I am offering:

Motherhood is one of those changes that changes everything.

It's not just about learning how to change diapers or make really strong coffee...it's a total shift to your identity, and it often catalyzes shifts to your relationships, your sense of community, your career, your body, your values, and so much more.

MotherSHIFT, a 3-month program (yes, an entire trimester) to support you with this transition, begins in one week, on September 24th.

MotherSHIFT is open to women in the first handful of years of motherhood. It consists of (short, doable!) written modules, weekly women's circles, three group coaching calls, and transformative journaling practices in your beautiful MotherSHIFT guidebook.

To learn more about MotherSHIFT and to register, head over to www.jessieharrold.com/mothershift

In the meantime, I want to offer you a *FREE* copy of one of the powerful practices we do in the program - the Momifesto Workbook. Think of the Momifesto Workbook as a compass for your motherhood, and a map back home to yourself.

Registration for MotherSHIFT ends TOMORROW at 4p.m.!

We have a growing and eager group of mothers in every stage of their mothering journey - from a few months to five years - joining together for a more meaningful look at what motherhood means, how it has changed life for each of us, and what we want to claim as we step more confidently into motherhood.

It's my dream to see FOUR more women join me for the program. Will you be one of them?

Hello brilliant women!

I am thrilled to be offering a brand new iteration of my MotherSHIFT program this Spring.

I’m feeling the pull of what I’ve found, after 10 years as a doula and 6 as a mother, that I do best: helping support women through the transition to motherhood through having the kinds of conversations no one else is having.

This is what MotherSHIFT is all about:

MotherSHIFT is a six-week group coaching program, with boutique-level support from me, and weekly virtual women’s circles to support your growth.

MotherSHIFT is MEANT to be done during naps, between diaper changes, and during feeds. It’s meant for the realities of motherhood; it helps women embrace the realities of motherhood.

I stand by this work and this program so strongly - it is a beautiful amalgamation of the traditional Heroine’s Journey, everything I have been teaching women in my doula practice for ten years, and what I did, personally, to find myself in motherhood.

To find out more about the program or to become one of the just TWELVE women participating in this intimate initiation, head over to the link in my profile. EARLYBIRD PRICING ENDS THIS FRIDAY, MAY 4TH!

Hello!

I know many of you have attended or expressed interest in the Sacred Pregnancy weekend retreats that I offer.

I have another retreat coming up on April 7 & 8.

Registration for the retreat closes this Monday, March 26th, and until then, I'm offering up bursaries for people who want to attend but are experiencing financial barriers.

There's more detail on the webpage below, but think of this as a totally different way to prepare for your birth and motherhood (whether it's your first or your fourth!), an invitation to explore how motherhood changes everything, and also...really good food, belly henna, pampering, chocolate, and sisterhood.

Here's a little something I think many of you will appreciate:

I remember the weekend like it was yesterday. It was cold, for July, and I was writing so frantically in my journal that I had forgotten to collect firewood and light the fire. …

An ode to breastfeeding mothers, and the transition to motherhood:

http://www.nalumana.com/on-breastfeeding-and-being-that-mama/

My heart leapt into my chest when the courier truck stopped at the bottom of my driveway. I knew the package was on its way; I had been waiting for it all week. I’m not sure why…

I will be holding a Sacred Pregnancy Weekend Retreat on September 16 & 17.

This is a beautiful time to connect with your body and your baby, and to prepare for birth and motherhood in a way that is truly different than you'll find in any book or prenatal class.

As a doula, I have seen time and time again that it is emotional preparedness and well-established support networks that impact women’s birth and motherhood the most.

And so, this retreat isn’t about learning about your options at the hospital or breastfeeding 101, this is about you becoming someone different than you were before: a mother, a mother of two, a different woman.

One past attendee said:

"I feel the content is great for both first time and multiple-time mamas. I loved this weekend. It brought out feelings I didn’t know were there, which surprised me because I thought I had a good idea of my thoughts/fears/hopes etc… So perfect to spend time 100% focused on me and my pregnancy, birth and motherhood without guilt or judgement. Thank you, thank you!”

The retreat is $250 and includes two full days of healing conversation, birth art, amazing food, sisterhood, belly henna, a Tibetan singing bowl sound bath, and so much more.
