Unpacking Mother Mule
Hi, friends!
Welcome to the ‘Unpacking Mother Mule’ hub!
Unpacking Mother Mule is a series of conversations surrounding the themes we find in my children’s book, Mother Mule. We’re looking at burnout, self-care, serving others, connection, and more, through the lens of therapy, art, movement, storytelling and motherhood. These conversations feel very timely and needed. I know I’ve found so much joy in connecting with others and recognizing that we are not alone in carrying this weight of overwhelm.
In each ‘episode’ we’re exploring topics that are often swept under the rug or have a filter slapped on them. We’re having honest and real conversations about mental health, listening to what’s happening within our bodies, setting boundaries, and seeking connection. We’re also providing tools that may help you walk through difficult times in life. A season like we’re experiencing right now, two years into a pandemic and global unrest.
This series is very near and dear to my heart. Not only do I personally struggle with burnout, anxiety, and the unrealistic idea of carrying the load all on my own, but I know in my heart that others need these conversations, too.
I hope when you visit this page you will feel connected. I hope your shoulders drop and you take a deep breath. I hope you know that you don’t have to carry it all on your own. And I hope you know that it’s okay to give yourself some grace.
