During winter, the inner goddess draws inward and rests beneath the surface. This is not disappearance, but dormancy… the sacred pause echoed in the energy of the Four of Swords. It is the season of rest and repair, when the body, mind, and spirit are invited to soften their grip and exhale. Nothing is being lost here. Everything is being restored. This quiet is an invitation to internal reflection. To gently look back at where you have been without judgment, and forward toward where you are being called without urgency. The stillness offers clarity that motion cannot. In the hush, truth speaks more clearly. Repose is not weakness. It is an act of self preservation. A conscious choosing to protect your energy, tend your wounds, and honor your cycles. The goddess does not bloom year round. She knows when to sleep… and she trusts that spring will come. 🌿✨️

Let’s keep this space bold, loud, and alive… true Badass Momma energy. Post the thing. Start the conversation. Invite your women. This group only hits different when we actually show up and use it. There’s no shrinking here. No asking permission. No tiptoeing. Use it. Shake it. Take up space. Most of all, this is a safe container for real women… raw, honest, fiery, tired, rising, and unapologetically themselves... 💪💥✨️

I'm getting ready to begin Rosemary Gladstar's Herbalist course. Do any of you use herbs medicinally? I've had a hard time in the past finding an organization based on medicinal culinary practices. I've been sick once in 15 years, and I attribute part of my strong immune system to using a lot of herbs in cooking and infusions. I'm much more interested in prevention than in needing a cure.

Alright, let’s break the ice… Introduce yourself in the comments and tell us why you joined Badass Mommas Rising. No need for a polished bio. Just your name, where you’re at in life, and what stirred you enough to walk into this space. Maybe you’re exhausted and done pretending you’re fine. Maybe you’re craving strength, clarity, or your spark back. Maybe you’re standing at the edge of a new chapter and you can feel it calling. Say as much or as little as you want. Lurk if that’s what your nervous system needs today. Speak when you’re ready. This is how we start… by being real, together.🔥🔥🔥

You are officially allowed to opt out of chaos this week. You don’t have to attend every gathering, overcook every meal, or perform holiday magic for everyone else. Protecting your peace is productive.💪🎄❄️
