Maiden's Path, Mother's Roots
in our nature: familial roles

This week we’re talking about our ideas around natural rhythms and roles that exist within our families - the mother as nurturer and nourisher, the father as protector and provider. Not as boxes to fit into, but as energies that bring balance and wholeness to the home. We explore what it feels like when we live within these roles, and what happens when they’re forgotten or flipped. It’s a nuanced conversation about remembering who we are sprinkled with a little bit of humor.

Maiden's Path, Mother's Roots
no one will save you

We are exploring what it means to truly take ownership of your life - as a woman, a mother, a creator. We are often given the message to wait for rescue, for permission, for the right moment or right person. But what if no one is coming? What if you are the one you’ve been waiting for?

We talk about stepping out of the victim mindset and into radical responsibility. Reclaiming the power to shape your reality, your home, your motherhood, your days. This conversation is about remembering that everything begins and ends with you.

Maiden's Path, Mother's Roots
when we stop pathologizing


In this episode, we explore what it means to support our children without rushing to label, fix, or intervene. So much of modern parenting assumes that babies need constant correction or management but what if the opposite were true?

Welcome to the practice of watchful waiting: a space where we step back, hold presence, and allow our little ones to reveal their own capacity to adapt and grow.

Maiden's Path, Mother's Roots
everything is a choice - everything

This week on Maiden’s Path, Mother’s Roots, we dive into a freeing and confronting truth: everything is a choice.

We share our own stories of moments when we realized we were living in a victim mindset — and how choosing differently changed everything. From how we respond to our kids, to how we care for our bodies, to the stories we tell ourselves about what is possible — we talk about how each choice writes the next chapter of our motherhood.

This episode is a call to wake up to the power you already hold. You are not at the mercy of your circumstances — you are actively creating your life, choice by choice. When you own that truth, you unlock the freedom to change how you feel, how you live, and how you mother.

Maiden's Path, Mother's Roots
her energy, her home

Episode 1: Her Energy, Her Home 

Welcome back to season two of Maiden’s Path, Mother’s Roots. In this opening episode we welcome you to our living room to share stories about how our own inner state has shaped the atmosphere around us — the way the home feels, how our children respond, how we move through our days. We talk about the power mothers have to shift the “weather” in the home: from chaotic mornings to soft evenings, from overwhelm to grounded.

This is an invitation to notice how your energy sets the tone for your family’s space, to tend to your own nervous system as a way of tending to your home, and to step into your role as the heart of the household intention.

radical responsibility: owning our path as parents

In the season finale of Maiden’s Path, Mother’s Roots, we explore the transformative idea of radical responsibility—what it looks like to take full ownership of our choices in pregnancy, birth, and parenting. This isn’t about blame. It’s about empowerment.

This conversation is for the woman ready to walk her own path—rooted, aware, and willing to show up fully.

We don’t promise ease. But we do promise truth, encouragement, and a reminder that you are the expert on your baby, your body, and your family.

Maiden's Path, Mother's Roots
birth as the initiation

In this episode of Maiden’s Path, Mother’s Roots, we honor the sacred terrain of birth—where the maiden begins to root deeply into her transformation. We explore the innate wisdom of birthing bodies, the importance of dynamic movement in labor, and how reconnecting with feminine rhythms can support a more embodied, intuitive birth.

Join us as we reflect on the roles assigned to us versus those we reclaim, and how embracing femininity and body awareness during pregnancy can shift the way we show up to birth—not as passive patients, but as powerful participants.

troubleshooting common breastfeeding challenges

In this episode we are holding space for the bumps in the road that can come with breastfeeding—sore nipples, latch, ties, and more. While it’s natural, it’s not always easy—and knowing how to navigate the hard moments can make all the difference.

We also reflect on the emotional side of breastfeeding struggles and how to stay connected to your intuition even when things feel hard.

You are not alone, and this episode is a gentle reminder that there is help, healing, and hope on the other side of challenge.

taylor’s birth stories

episode 2: taylor’s birth stories

In this week’s episode, Taylor shares the deeply personal stories of her two birth experiences—one that was long, dramatic, and filled with unexpected, unwanted interventions, and another that unfolded with calm, confidence, and clarity.

We explore what happens when birth doesn’t go according to plan, how to process and grow from those moments, and how Taylor’s first labor shaped the grounded experience of her second son’s birth. This conversation is a testament to the strength of mothers, the wisdom we carry from one birth to the next, and the transformation that comes with putting trust in yourself.
