I choose to breastfeed my babies for as long as makes sense for us, there is no age that they’re “too old.”
I’ve never nursed with a cover because I believe other women, children and men need to witness babies being fed and that feeding from the breast isn’t taboo or suppoed to make anyone feel uncomfortable.
I have chosen to age naturally and refuse to succumb to imposed beauty standards or attempting to look younger than my actual years.
My children are taught to respectfully question authority and develop their critical thinking skills.
I originally chose to become a midwife to offer a safe alternative to women not wanting to deliver in restricted hospital settings. To become a voice for and protector of women and babies so that they receive better care.
We homeschool because I don’t want my children to spend more of their awake time plugged into the system than spending quality time with their family while receiving a richer education. It’s difficult and time consuming AF, and I make a lot of sacrifices to make homeschooling possible.
I choose my role as a mother over career and income advancement. This means money is tight and spent frugally. We only purchase what we need and create or reuse what we can. It also means I don’t contribute to gross consumption and consumerism. I vote with my dollars.
I don’t vote in the presidential election. I refuse to pick the lesser of two evils, or to decide which wing of the same bird should pretend to have power for 4 years. Until there are better options I refuse to put my energy towards it.
My children are taught that men and women are opposites and have different strengths and weaknesses. That we are not equal in these qualities but complimentary, and equally important. That every person should be allowed the freedom to be themselves and take up as much space as anyone else. This is true feminism.
In our home we see color, and respect and celerbrate other cultures and races. We develop opinions of others based on their actions not the color of their skin.
There are no gender roles in my home. My boys are expected to do the same chores that my daughter will eventually. They are taught terms like: weaponized incompetence, manipulation, gaslighting - so that when they are older no one will take advantage of them and they won’t take advantage of others.
Emotional intelligence, respect, building self-worth and being a thoughtful human are all more important to me than following any standard educational timeline. Building a resourceful and empathetic human is more important than learning algebra.
I am modeling for my children how to grow and support our own community and how to care for others that care for us. They are learning how to differentiate between safe and tricky people and putting their energy towards positive experiences with others.

While our world feels truly insane and some of us don’t know what can be done or what we can do to make a difference - we can go within.
What do I need to heal?
Where can I grow and change?
How can I radically accept my life and take steps towards making it as unique and beautiful as myself?
In what ways can I refuse to comply with a system that doesn’t have the average human’s best interest in mind?
How can I help others?
We have the power to rebel and revolt against the system and all its atrocities, and it starts in our own homes.
If you’re angry and feel hopeless, what micro changes can you make to take your power back and make a difference?
