So proud of my daughters Sophia and Jasmine. They’ve survived so much at such a young age, and still they shine their light so brightly. The next generation of Wisewomen Warriors carrying the flame gathered from the ashes of their mothers’ fiery descent to heal the ancestral mother-wound. Your presence, and those of your sisters […]
Are you a woman who wants to step fully into her power? Do you feel like you’ve reached an impasse or lost your way in life? Are you unsure what you’re meant to be doing with your life? Do you know deep inside that there’s more to you than the woman who is just going […]
