Honestly… can I just say this out loud for a second. Does anyone else resonate with this??
The throwbacks of conscious parenting and understating energy
It’s still the Year of the Snake.
We’re still shedding.
Still tired in weird ways.
Still not quite who we were, but not yet who we’re becoming.
And this morning my 12-year-old wakes up slow. Sluggish. Flat.
No drama. No illness. Just… off.
Old me would’ve gone into autopilot:
“Come on, get up. You’ll be late. You’ve got school. We’ll deal with feelings later.”
But here’s the thing… does she have to?
If I really believe what I teach, about energy, transitions, nervous systems, and not overriding the body, how can I ignore hers because it’s inconvenient to my plans?
At 12, everything is shifting.
Body. Hormones. Identity. Emotions.
It’s already complicated enough without learning, this early, that you should push through and disconnect from yourself.
So instead of rushing her…
I stayed.
I held space.
I made her feel safe.
And yes, full transparency, I had such organised, motivated plans this morning.
Like really together plans.
And then I didn’t do any of them. FFS 😅
I taught my morning energy session for the circle…
then I climbed back into bed with her.
Pyjamas back on. No fixing. No forcing. Just presence.
I don’t want to teach her to ignore her energy.
I don’t want her to grow up thinking her body is something to override to keep the world happy.
But why this morning when I had everything planned!
And honestly… I’m so grateful I’ve built a life that allows this kind of parenting.
Not perfect. Not polished.
But human. Regulated. Conscious.
Some mornings aren’t about productivity.
They’re about showing our kids it’s safe to be human while the old skin is coming off.
