Hello!
I hope this blog finds you in peace and wellness. I am excited to finally explain what it means to be a part of the Spirited Mama Tribe. Many ask me,
“Alex, What is the Spirited Mama Tribe and What does it mean to be a part of this elite group of powerful, courageous, bold women?”
Ok, Ok, so the last part about the “elite group of powerful, courageous, bold women,” isn’t usually part of the question, however when you are referring to the Spirited Mama Tribe that is exactly what resonates whether you know it or not. Let me tell you honey child it is not for that faint of heart, but for women who desire to connect, love, and be bold at the very core of their existence. The Spirited Mama Tribe is for women who uncomfortably are able to press into their fears, vulnerabilities, shame, guilt, and other negative thoughts that troll their minds. To be afraid and unafraid at the same time in order to speak their truth. You may be asking, Hey, this Spirited Mama Tribe sounds dope, but I am not a mother? Being part of this tribe is for Birth Mothers, Earth Mothers, Spiritual Mothers, God Mothers, Grandmothers, Auntie-Mamas, or any Mothering archetype you identify with at your core. The Spirited Mama Tribe is also available as a resource for your support network, your husbands, partners, children, friends, etc.
There are six attributes that reflect the members of the Spirited Mama Tribe:
