Shara | Cycle, Birth, Postpartum, Lactation Educator, shared a post on Instagram: "Look, not, everybody needs to cut bangs as they navigate the month.

Squeeeee!!

YOU GUYS.

I received a grant to participate in Soul Seed Academy's summer cohort. I spent 14 weeks with powerhouse women who are passionate about their businesses. We were in an incubator designed to guide us and push us to deepen our understanding and skills in marketing, development, creating, and thriving in our unique skill sets and interests. I now have a logo and....drumroll... I am thrilled that the work of website building is *done* and it is ready to share!

Check it out--there's a link to a free mindfulness guide for you as well!

INTRO TIME!

My name is Shara (share-uh), I grew up in the South, have been bouncing around the Midwest for the last decade, and am currently nestled near a rocky mountain in the West (someday maybe I can add PNW and east coast to my collection of addresses 😂)

Funny things about me:

I love the sound of the snow plow clearing a street in the winter, I am not your go-to friend for strategy games, and I once took a basket weaving class in college for an “easy A”.

(I got a B instead)

I am a woman’s wellness educator. I actually started as a curious new Mom gathering information from wise women around me.

Between the lines of nourishing childhood wonder, I became a doula, childbirth educator, lactation counselor, purpose workshop creator, and hormone+cycle guide.

MY MESSAGE:
You don’t have to navigate normal life changes alone.

You are uniquely equipped for growth.

You are cyclical. You are not the same every day or every week and YOU have permission to lean into the rhythm of your season.

I AM SO EXCITED about the next hormone + cycle workshop. At the last workshop there was connection, laughter, open sharing, and so many ah-ha moments that created a kind of untangling that you can’t ignore.

This workshop is AN EXPERIENCE.

Virtual on Saturday Sept 17th 8am MST🙌🏻

I can’t wait to see you there🫶🏻

September's LEVEL UP: Hormone + Cycle workshop is VIRTUAL, you guys!!

This means that you and *ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS* from Maine to Montana--we got you covered. REGISTER TODAY to reserve YOUR spot. It's on a Saturday--hang out with us in your comfiest clothes, blanket, maybe a notebook to take notes. Definitely chocolate on hand. I mean. Just sayin'.

From the last workshop, 100% of the attendees who responded USED THE SAME WORD to describe how they felt leaving the event.

You know what that word was?
EMPOWERED.

One definition of empowered: "support someone to be stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights"

I don't know about you--but I definitely am here for strong, confident, more control, and claiming mySELF.

I want to see you there. And your three best friends.

YOU ASKED FOR VIRTUAL OPTIONS!

Here it is you guys--LIVE ZOOM virtual WORKSHOP in ONE month! Share with your friends & register now--September 17th will be here before you know it.

The class format will be the same--two focus parts, rich discussion, and I promise you will leave with a greater understanding of your body and answers to questions about WHY you show up so differently throughout the month (and how to work WITh your blueprint!)

I will facilitate conversation about female hormonal rhythm of 28-30 days, 4 distinct phases, traditional archetypes, moods + energy levels + brain chemistry, and what the superpower is for each hormonal-impacted phase.

My colleague Lacey will teach us all about the biomedical markers our body's give us, the value of tracking and ways to do it, women's health choices that are impacted by knowing your body, your cycle, your rhythms.

You will leave feeling more connected to your body, more curious about your patterns, and more prepared to LEVEL UP your experience!

Register here: https://classesandworkshopsgrowthinherseasons.as.me/schedule.php🙌

PS I AM SO EXCITED!

Summer lights
+
Summer super moon behind the clouds.

Like the moon, women are made to wax and wane, be full and new, over and over again. It’s a dance, a twirl, a rhythm that the whole earth can witness, in awe.

Several years ago, I made the shift. Instead of fighting my energy, moods, and changing self —I learned how to work with the rhythms.

I noticed patterns of clarity, creativity, rest, and release.

You might have been noticing for awhile or maybe now you might start to notice them, too. You are cyclical. You are awe-inspiring, too.

Hello, moon.

Let’s take 3 deep releasing breaths together, shall we?

Hello, I’m Shara. I’m glad you’re here🫶🏻

It’s a tricky one to pronounce—so I usually tell people it’s like “Share a piece of pie” (share-uh). 🥧

I am a birth doula, birth-postpartum-lactation educator, and social work graduate student with a passion for supporting and normalizing important conversations about women’s issues (ahem: mental health, hormones & cycle, perinatal + postnatal + breastfeeding).

In 2008, I attended a small class at a tiny hospital—so excited to be pregnant with my 🌈 baby, I remember thinking: how cool would that be to teach women about the power of their bodies?

This is page is perhaps just a shout out to my young, enthusiastically pregnant self… Yes girl—it *is actually* SO COOL.

I hope we can connect through conversations that reflect the growth YOU are experiencing in YOUR unique season…menstruation, pregnancy planning, prenatal education, postpartum planning, and turning from weary to whole-self thriving🌿

You are made for growth.
I am here to be a nourishing guide by your side.

Also I’m here for sweet potato fries. Honestly, though, where’s the best place to get them?

Tell me your favorite snack & what season of life you are in right now🌿

WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK 2022

From the website:
“ will focus on strengthening the capacity of actors that have to protect, promote and support breastfeeding across different levels of society. These actors make up the warm chain of support for breastfeeding.

Target audiences including governments, health systems, workplaces and communities will be informed, educated and empowered to strengthen their capacity to provide and sustain breastfeeding-friendly environments for families in the post pandemic world.

WARM CHAIN CAMPAIGN
Breastfeeding is key to sustainable development strategies post-pandemic, as it improves nutrition, ensures food security and reduces inequalities between and within countries.”

It's the FIRST day of a new month AND a Monday- Inviting us all to sit in this truth from 's affirmation deck---give yourself permission to NOT be 100% in every moment. You are human. And if you are a female human, your rhythm is actually a delightfully changing 28-30 day cycle! Every week is NOT the same but DOES offer you specific super powers that you can lean into for minimizing stress and maximizing your best self. Want to know more?
