Do you feel free?
June 5, 2022
When I think of summer I feel free.
Free from schedules, routines, and layers of warm winter clothes.
But this idea of warm weather freedom goes much deeper than flip flops and long summer nights.
I believe freedom is something we are all seeking.
As parents we are not really free are we?
We are tethered to cultural and childhood conditioning, our past and our fears, and our responsibilities.
We worry for our kids’ futures and work hard to make sure that they will be ok.
And this makes sense — we are human after all, and we care deeply about our family’s well-being.
But what if we believed there was nothing to actually worry about?
What if we believed it was all going to be ok no matter what?
What if we trusted everything that was occurring whether we liked it or not?
Can you imagine that kind of freedom? Not worrying about what college your kid got into or if they go to college at all? Not worrying about their grades, the kind of friends they have, the school bully pestering them…?
What if you were truly free in your role as a parent and in your life?
What if all you had to do was show up every day with your arms and heart open wide fearing nothing and allowing it all.
When we become deeply aware of the ways in which our ego fools us into being afraid we regain control of our lives and can take responsibility for the impact we are having on our kids’ lives.
This is the power of conscious parenting.
We get to look closely at our fears and wounds and begin to take responsibility for our own healing so that we don’t pass on our wounds to our children.
This radical act of awareness is the greatest gift you can pass on to your child.
When you let go of your fears and instead surrender to them, you become a space of unconditional love for your children to drop into.
This summer I invite you to indulge in this kind of freedom. To let it all go and just BE in all your parenting moments. Truly let your hair down and stop worrying about getting it right and trust that it will all be ok.
You got this! I am here with you.
To parenting authentically and not perfectly,

“Working with Annmarie was a liberating experience. Not only did I learn how to use my body as a guiding tool to go within, but I also became more familiar with a part of me that I was never taught to recognize – my physical language. Thank you, Annmarie, for your wisdom, guidance, kindness, and stillness. Through your questions, I was able to find the answers within for what I needed.“
