I would love to see the Return of the Divine Feminine & some of the topics around sexual health, relationships, and sexual energy since I have children and would like to be able to talk to them about this without it feeling weird or taboo. I would love to write a post for you about Body Image & Awareness and loving ourselves unconditionally since this is my passion & so necessary to increase the Love & societal junk around what we “should” look like.

I have a lot of energy for those topics and would love if you would write a post on Body Image and Awareness! Please email me a [email protected] with your post or with any questions you have writing a post. If you’d like to also submit *attributed* images with your post, I will take a look at them as well. Thank you!
The Solar Feminine, the gift of circle work, the importance of a talking circle, self care, sovereignty, skill building in girl’s circles…so many things to talk about!

I am truly with you! So much to talk about!!!! And those topics are all juicy and liberating. Thanks so much for stopping by and giving those topics a boost!
Facilitating a young girls circle, womens cirles, helping our teens navigate this culture while remaining true to themselves.
Stephanie – Topics after my own heart. You can count on seeing these! Thank you!
Raising emotionally healthy kids is a huge challenge, in so many ways. You can do everything in your power and still feel outnumbered by all the other influences that can undermine the dreams you have for your kids. There’s a lot of letting go along the way, too.
I think that would be a topic ripe for a blog post and follow-up discussion. Another idea: asking people to send you their stories, and then post them (no names attached, of course) and suggest that your readers provide feedback if they have ideas, solutions, or things that have worked for them.

Thanks, Jayna, I love what you wrote including the suggestion to share stories and create space for an exchange of ideas. ~ Katharine
