Mother Shame: The MOTHER of All Releases
Affirmations to use instead of worrying about your kids:
“We are innocent, guilty of nothing! We are perfect and unlimited.”
“Spirit has perfect expression in this child. The Divine Design now comes to pass in his/her mind, body, and activities.”
We GOT this, Sisters! Let’s surrender that shame, which is NOT real and NOT true, and replace it with ONLY Mother LOVE!
I love you!
(Tuesday June 19th, I’ll be pulling affirmation cards for commenters.)

Holy shit!! I love this video! The best, most honest topic you could’ve done. I feel like I’m a fantastic mother BUT I still have guilt about various things like my son wants to go to Disney World and we don’t have the money and even if we did I’m too scared to fly! So stupid. Anyway, I really enjoyed your honesty and thank you for being so brave as to share your personal experiences.

I love ANY comment that starts with “Holy Shit!!” Damn straight, Sister!
Here’s your card. “Source: Change me, Divine Beloved, into one who knows that You are my Source. Free me from the illusion of rejection, competition, and scarcity. Fill me with confidence and faith, knowing I never have to beg, just gratefully receive. You will open every door.”
Sister, I LOVE this card for your comment and I have an additional affirmation for you, “Divine Mother, if it is your wish for our son to go to Disney World please effortlessly supply us with the means and transportation necessary. Let this happen under grace in a perfect way.” SO much could happen just from that statement, but most of all, saying it will release YOU from having to figure it out or brave yourself up for it! It’s in the Divine Mama’s hands now!
Amen, Sister!

Yes, so much love your message. This has been weighing me down as we walk our son through grief, and feel as if we’re failing him. I’m not sure there’s a mother in our culture that doesn’t feel some shame. Release, RELEASE!! It’s all done out of LOVE.

Oh, SO MUCH LOVE for your son and you, Sister. Here’s your card from Tosha Silver’s Change Me Prayers Deck: “Guidance: Change me, Divine Beloved, into one who can offer You even the most baffling problems, knowing You’ll carry me to the right solutions at the right time…if I am open, receptive, and available. I AM OPEN.”
And from me: “Thank you, Divine Mother, for comforting and protecting my son. Let him feel LOVED at all times no matter what.” Amen.

I love you, Sister. Your card: “Grace: Make me ready to call on You in even the most confusing situations, large or small. Let me include You. May I lean on Your strength, knowing Your grace can unravel any dilemma. I lean on You.”
May the Divine Mama lighten your burdens in ALL ways, Sister.
So much LOVE!

Kate such a relevant topic these days!! I’ve felt mother shame in the past thinking I’ve been letting my babies down by not being able to bring them to the physical for so long and I see it every single day at work (part time preschool teacher) from the mamas who bring in their littles!!

Sister, I LOVE your card. “Spirit: Change me, Divine Beloved, into one who knows my Spirit is eternal and ageless. Let me release any old ideas of constriction or limitation. My whole being is filled with joy, energy, and beauty, a vessel for the Divine Shakti. I am filled with LIGHT.” Yes, you ARE a vessel of Divine Shakti, Sister! And a HUGE beam of LIGHT! Love you!!

Hmmmm you know what, for the first time EVER, I almost didn’t listen to one of your vlogs. At first I thought it didn’t apply to me since I’m not a mother yet. But what has resonated is that I have alwaaaays been a leader, went my own way, done my own thing, even as a kid I only had a few close friends, I never followed anyone or never had a need for validation really for the most part from my peers. I’ve always thought on this journey “how the hell am I gonna have “mom” friends when I’ll be at FTM at 47! “ Lol talk about not fitting in. I guess this is what my baby needs. A mom whose not following the crowd or needing validation or feeling insecure lol. Esp when You said that’s not what these babies want/need is our crap. Hmmm so interesting.
I’d love a card!

Sister, you are ahead of the game in sooooo many ways! Your card: “Guidance: Change me, Divine Beloved, into one who can offer You even the most baffling problems, knowing You’ll carry me to the right solutions at the right time…if I am open, receptive, and available. I AM OPEN.” So much LOVE to you! Glad you decided to watch. 🙂

I love this so much. The mother guilt and shame is real. I just found out I’m pregnant and while I’m so excited, I worry my 2 year old son will have a hard time coping or not feel special anymore. I know it’s silly and everything will work out. Love and light to everyone 🙂

Sister, I had those exact same fears when pregnant with my second. I wish I’d known about surrender back then. You so got this. I’ll give you the same affirmation I gave Lori about her son: “Thank you, Divine Mother, for comforting and protecting my son. Let him feel LOVED at all times no matter what.” He’ll know he’s loved. I see him LOVING his role as a big brother.
Your card: “Longing: Change me, Divine Beloved, into one who offers You my deepest longings, trusting You know exactly how to handle them. Lead the way completely; free me from my chains. Let me know my wholeness and freedom most of all. I offer my deepest desires.”
Divine Mama, can take (and WANTS to) ALL your burdens from you, Sister.
So much LOVE! Congrats on being reunited with your little one.

Sister,Omg I just had a meeting with a homeschool family today and I encouraged the mom to continue doing what she’s been doing. So much shaming and judging going on out there. It needs to stop and turn into unconditional love. I’ve been working with homeschoolers for the past 6years and hear about the shaming in public school system and homeschooling world,it breaks my heart. I must admit that when my girl came into my world as a newbie I was so affected when I’d get even a sense of being mom/child shamed. I was not your typical mom/aunt/godmother back then and definitely not now. I still have my human moments when I wonder if I could have done a better job with my girl….in her education(now I homeschool her by letting her pick what she’s interested in learning),spiritual walk,etc. I’m doing/did the best I could. Thanks for doing this for us.

Anna, I can say for sure that you are doing an AMAZING job with your girl! Thank you for your beautiful comment, Dear Sister. Your card is one I love and have definitely used as a homeschoolin’ Mama: “Balance: Change me, Divine Beloved, into one who can fully offer my schedule to You so my life can be in balance. May I take rest whenever necessary, trusting that one way or another all needs will be met. My needs will be met.”
So much LOVE!

Oh my gosh, I felt such a release while I was listening to this. Like some old wounds healed. I jumped in with both feet becoming a full time stepmother 9 years ago when my stepdaughter was 9. She and her dad had been through some really tough times and I didn’t really know what I was doing. I felt judged by so many people in the community and I questioned everything I was doing. My (now) husband and I also socialized with very few people at that time. With huge support from family and friends we made it through and our daughter is an amazing young woman, but still I could feel those old wounds as you were speaking. As my sister says, it’s the hardest job you’ll ever love and it’s so intensely personal. I hadn’t thought about Chantal’s points while I was listening to the video, but she makes great points. I tell very few people that I still want a child and I really don’t tell anyone that I’ve held out hopes of having my own. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this wonderful video!! xoxo

Thank you SO much for sharing your experience as a heart-centered step mama, Sister. It helps so much to know what others are going/have been through. You’re amazing. Your card: “Protection: Change me, Divine Beloved, into one who is protected from all negative energy and predictions. Fill me with Your dazzling and radiant Light; make me a vessel for your Love. I now release all fears I’ve absorbed from others! I am safe.” I love, love, love this one. I came across an affirmation that is similar yesterday and I love it: “The Divine is my shield and my reward.” And so it is!

Kate!!!
This couldn’t have come at a better time. Although I’m not being shamed for my parenting, I am being shamed for the way I handled the trauma of my angel baby’s passing around his birthday/anniversary. It’s all contrived and stupid and in someone else’s head but it hurts nonetheless. I have already handed the situation over to a Divine Mother because if I respond the way my ego is telling me to… well, as my mother in Ireland used to say ‘there’ll be skin and hair flying’. It won’t be pretty.
Friends really do come and go as we ebb and flow on our journeys. Some people make things better by entering a room, some by leaving it!
Loving all the videos but especially the focus on Divine Mother xx

Sister, you have such a good head about all this. Good for you for standing your ground no matter what. I can’t imagine why anyone would shame you for handling such a personal trauma in any way ~ as you know, it’s got nothing to do with YOU. So awesome that you’ve already surrendered this over. And so it’s done!
Your card: “Grace: Make me ready to call on You in even the most confusing situations, large or small. Let me include You. May I lean on Your strength, knowing Your grace can unravel any dilemma. I lean on You.”
So much LOVE to you AND your angel baby.
