Has anyone got tickets for Taylor Swift that they don’t want???? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💓💓💓✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

THE TIME IS ALWAYS NOW

Did anyone catch this exhibition ??

It was one of the most moving and thought provoking shows I’ve had a pleasure to visit in recent years.

Sad not to take my girl as I went on a school day. Is it okay for a 15 year old to miss school to see important art??!! I feel like the answer must be yes!!

A dream of a day with 🌚🪐✨

In all our everyday whirl I realise how much I need to punctuate the weeks and months with full days of beauty, art, dance and magic.

Amongst the quiet slow beauty of the everyday I need a scattering of bright shining stars!

Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron 👌🏽 ❤️

B***S.

Probably my very favourite thing to draw!! 🥰

Hey there 👋🏼 it’s Nissa here!!

Lots of love, Nissa xx

Whether you are tall or short, skinny or fat.

In vibrant health or deeply exhausted.

Your periods are comfortable or you suffer every month.

Conceived first time or had years of IVF.

Pregnancy was breezy or you felt rotten throughout.

Birth was easy or you had a catalogue of interventions.

You made a surplus of breastmilk or none at all.

Sailed through menopause or sweated through anxiety and overwhelm.

Grow old with vibrant health or illness and pains.

Your body is just an ✨old friend✨ trying her best.

Whatever your experience, body is not broken, your body is a miracle. 🙏🏼

💗

Birth is the liminal space between your old self and your future self.

A rare gateway for radical metamorphosis.

Shedding layers and growing new ones is a painful exquisite process.

Years in the making, mother made.

You are a mighty lioness.

✨Motherhood is SO big. ✨It turns you inside out and then you shed a hundred layers 💗

And eventually after mostly a few years you emerge transformed. Different. Stronger. Rebuilt. Fierce. Soft. An incredible metamorphosis has occurred.

Because the beauty of it is as BIG as the pain and both co-exist together. The process is wild!!

What would you tell your best friend if they were pregnant for the first time, to try and prepare them without terrifying them? 🫣😍

Answers on a postcard 👇🏼⭐️✨💗⭐️🤩✨✨⭐️✨⭐️✨

Anyone else’s Mum do this????

LOVE my Mum 👵🏼 💗💗💗💗💗

Just found these words I wrote the week after my second was born. I can tap back into those feelings, SO big SO raw. The biggest feelings of your life 😳😍

You know it’s coming with the second baby but it knocks you sideways with your first, like a high speed steam train!

FIRST WEEK

Overwhelming love for your baby that is so big it feels like deep sadness. Connection with others in the world who are suffering.

Emotionally wide open.

Easily moved to tears, very sensitive to people’s words and actions.

Physically open and sensitive. Feel the cold, need to be wrapped up warm, cosy with softness.

Tiredness heightens all of the emotions and physical sensations.

Overwhelmed.

Visitors can feel overwhelming. Need a cocoon.

Things that help

Surrender. Accept night feeds. Accept he won’t sleep in a basket. Accept you will be tired. Enjoy every little moment, even the sore ni***es and the mad tiredness.

✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

How did you feel the week after birth? I think it’s a mixed bag for most new parents 💗

!!!

SO MUCH EXCITING news!!!! -

SO MUCH EXCITING news!!!! Hello my lovely ones, After spending the 2 weeks of Yule in deepest hibernation... I am back!! And boy have I got some absolute gems to share with you today. 

As the year draws in I’m sending out so much ✨love✨ from my family to yours☺️ 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

It’s time for me to listen to every fibre of my body which is telling me to hunker down for the season. To get off social media and email. To take chilly walks in the forest, drink hot chocolate and get under the blanket with a hot water bottle as often as I can!! 😏

So I’ll look forward to seeing you again in January folks, when the days are starting to get longer. 🙏🏼 🌞

And 2023…. that’s a wrap!!

Yes yes yes yes YESssssss

👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I rattled through this over the last week and wow, wow, WOW!!

An astonishing first book from writer ✨ ✨

If you haven’t come across the book before it’s an autobiographical tale, navigating childhood and adolescence with a narcissist mother.

It’s witty, astute, nuanced, heartbreaking, full of hope and humanity. An immersive read!

Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Have a great week,
Love Nissa xx

Anyone else tired this week? 🖤😎

Sending love and good vibes to all my new Mums and Dads and also CAKE!!

Life after birth, it’s a big adjustment isn’t it?

There’s all the practical changes, lack of sleep, newborn to care for, physical recovery and then there’s matrescence.

Matrescence is the process of becoming a mother, it incorporates ALL of the profound development that you experience throughout this process.

It considers the subtleties that we don’t quite have the language for yet, and the exquisite beauty and dark challenges.

Its tricky to prepare for when it’s your first baby because in some ways it’s unknowable and everyone’s experience will be unique.

Simultaneously it’s good to acknowledge that becoming a mother or father is both a rupture in your psyche AND an opportunity for exponential growth. It’s BIG!

I’d definitely suggest you do a little reading about it before you have your first child. Two of my gentle tips for the transition are…

1. What you are feeling is normal, talk about it often to dispel the discomfort/ guilt or heaviness.

2. Offer yourself the compassion you’d give to your sister or best friend 🩷

Just like teenagers, new parents need a lot of love and care as they make the greatest transition of their lives.

BEAUTIFUL!

Go follow 👑

This little pickle starts pre-school tomorrow! He’s been home with us since birth so it feels like a new chapter for us all ❤️

Like so much of motherhood it feels full of ambiguous feelings.

Exciting to have so much more time…. I’ve got lots of ideas - cold water swimming, yoga, long walks, baking bread, seeing friends without our children, life drawing, oh AND a bit more work 😆

And simultaneously a longing yearning feeling touched with sadness. An acknowledgment that our baby years are done.

I’m going to spend today being mindful and leaning into ALL of this.

❤️

You heard it right, I’m offering a ✨FREE✨ HYPNO POWER HOUR✨ every month.
