Simona Mustață - Supporter For Moms In Fully Embracing Their Mothering

🌹 You becoming a mother is a way in which you transform into the next version of yourself.

Like the old clothes that no longer fit because you’ve outgrown them.

Like the tree who has to shake her leaves in order to make room for new ones to grow.

🍂 You are making room for the next version of yourself.

Motherhood is supposed to change you.

🌹 Becoming a mother is asking you, like all other massive life transformations, to become a new you.

Just like your first bleed and your adolescence turned you from a girl into a young woman.

Just like menopause turns you from a young woman into a new woman, wiser and more experienced.

Just like death will turn you from this shape into another.

🌹 Matrescence is offering you all the questions and the tools to set up your new path: aligned with who you are becoming.

So, becoming a new you is the way you receive the gifts of matrescence and its full power.

Yes it is uncomfortable. Yes it hurts. Yes it stretches and contracts. It asks the hard questions and it mirrors the tough truths you need to face.

💔 I see so many mothers trying so hard to remain unchanged or refusing to think about how they’ve changed or clinging on to ways of living and of being that no longer fit, just because they don’t want to change, they want to remain the same.

✨ Embracing the single most tangible truth motherhood brings will only open you up to meeting a version of you beyond imagination.

🌹 You will change. You will grow. You will transform.

That is power. That is something to be proud of. That is wisdom.

🫶 Why does being aware of your matrescence matter?

All the times when you feel like there must be something wrong with you, like this is surely just happening because you did something wrong, all these moments hit differently when your know that what youre feeling is normal.

🌀 Knowing of matrescence and of its ebbs and flows and knowing it’s a process that takes time & is experienced by all mothers, helps you feel less alone and magically connected to mothers all over the world.

Matrescence impacts the way you live and perceive yourself and others.

No wonder it also influences your parenting.

🤰🏻 Holding a Mother Blessing ceremony for my best friend takes my work to a whole new level.

I work with mothers and I hold space for them to integrate their experiences, to make sense of them, to feel supported and empowered. Whether it’s Mother Circles or 1:1 sessions and group programs, it’s an honour to be able to do this with them.

Holding space in ceremony for my best friend, now that has been special in so many different ways.

✨ This Friday I held a special Mother Blessing ceremony for my best friend, to welcome her into motherhood as she is soon to step into this new realm.

Holding this space for her made me realise 2 things:

🌹 how grateful I am for this synchronicity of doing what I do as a matrescence guide and her pregnancy now, as I get to support her in so many ways I couldn’t have before.

🌹 how deeply touching and humbling it is to be in the presence of life being created, with intention, with the awareness that this is truly an out of this realm miracle.

We see mothers holding babies inside them as common and we forget not to take this for granted. We forget to rever the deep power we are witnessing.

We forget to be grateful that we get to witness the deepest power ever known to humankind.

🌹 As I bathed my best friend’s feet in rose petals, as we talked about fears and doubts and we let them go, as I offered her a true and deep recognition of the immensity of what she’s experiencing, I felt like I remembered.

I remembered this is not to be seen as common, taken for granted or ignored.

✨ A mother becoming a mother is in itself a piece of immortality and of supernatural.

Honored to have held such a powerful and deeply nurturing ceremony for a woman I admire in so many ways. Thank you for this chance, love🫶!

❗️Mother Blessing ceremonies should be a given for all future mamas!

Holding space for mothers,

🧡 Simona

🌹 Telling your birth story in a safe space is in itself healing.

Safe space might sound like empty words.

Specifically, think of it as the space
✨ held by someone who has a deep understanding of your matrescence and all you experience as a mother.
✨ in which you aren’t taught, fixed, but welcomed where you are.
✨ in which all of you is allowed, no taboo topics, no expectations to meet
✨ in which you’re guided to dive into your inner life with gentleness and curiosity.

🥰 Witnessing a mother’s inner life is something I consider a privilege.

Hearing a mother’s reflections on her life and her transition into motherhood is holding a mirror into her personal universe.

Listening to her birth story and allowing her space to integrate it, to become aware of her courage and the great transformation she experienced through it is deeply supportive for her.

🌹 Having your birth story witnessed by a professional who treats it with the utmost care, understanding its immense value and sacredness, allows you to remember it in a way that feels empowering and healing.

If you’re postpartum and we work together that is a beautiful experience I can guide you through.

🌀 Anywhere in your motherhood journey, having your birth story listened to and held with care is an experience you deserve.

✨ Becoming a mother is not just a singular moment a time.

It's not as simple as a baby is born and you're suddenly a mother.

🌹 Becoming a mother is not just a physical experience.

It is an entire life being altered, reshaped, rebuilt.

It is a spiritual experience and a deeply emotional one.

It is a social and cultural phenomenon.

It is at its very core the birth of a new woman.

🌹 Matrescence.

Stepping from one stage of your life into another.

From maiden to mother.

,,M-a surprins ușurința cu care am reușit să mă analizez să-mi las la suprafață emoțiile dar și să le exprim. Am descoperit sentimente de mult uitate, mici povești din viața mea care așteptau să fie iar trăite.”
Loredana

,,Da, da, da! Aș recomanda cu siguranță. E o experiență minunată și deschide sufletul, ochii către propria persoană și oferă perspectivă asupra unor trăiri din călătoria asta a maternității pe care nu prea le explorăm.“

🏔️ You might think that if you’ve reached a certain point in your mothering, then you’re supposed to be better at this, find it less hard, be more în control, fulfill more of the expectations.

And if I ask mothers when that point is, the endpoint of Ok, I’m done, I got this now, they all give me different answers.

· I’ve been a mother for 2 years, I should know this by now, I should find it easier to take the tantrums without getting angry.

· I’m a mom of 3, surely I don’t need support and care anymore, because I know what to do, I shouldn’t feel it’s so hard.

· I’ve been a mom for 6 months, I should be more settled in my role by now, I should keep my emotions in check and handle all the tasks easier.

💔 Pressure to be done with it, expectations you've internalized, patriarchal society that pushed you to come back unchanged and handle it, the perfect mother myth.

They all play a role in forming the idea that motherhood is a finite journey, to be handled alone, without complaining.

🌹 YOU SETTLING INTO MOTHERHOOD is personal to you and you alone. It is not the final destination, the top level of the game and it’s done.

Transformation, growth, healing, self-development, you becoming a mother, they’re all cyclical, they’re ebbing and flowing.

🌀You’re constantly learning something about yourself. You’re spiraling upwards and expanding your perspective.

🧡 You’re allowed to find it hard and challenging at any step of the way.
Because guess what?

You’ve never been there before. You’re not the same you, your child is not the same, your life, relationships, resources are not the same.

🫶 Allow yourself the grace to look at your constant transformation knowing this:
You’re always learning something about yourself and gaining new gifts from each experience.

Needing support in any stage of motherhood is normal.

✍️ What stage of mothering are you in? What do you find hard, what comes a bit easier?

Holding space for you, mama,

🧡 Simona

🌹 A lot of the conversations I have with mothers circle around a theme that burns and challenges them. I often hear them say:

I don’t know who I am outside of being a mother.
I don’t really know what I like anymore.
I find it hard to think about myself as separate to my child.

🌀 The identity shift a woman goes through when she becomes a mother is real.

It is completely disorienting and many times confusing.

One day you're someone who leads her life a certain way, you're a separate individual and the next you're someone who somehow has lost all individuality and her borders fade in and out of sight.

👁️ As I guide mothers through exploring this shift inside them in our work together, I'm often reminded of how easily our roles can come in and out of focus, how swiftly we can contract and expand our perspectives based on where we are in our lives.

✨ How do you see yourself? As a woman? As a mother? Do they pull you in separate directions or have they found a common ground, coexisting peacefully inside you?

📲 Read my article to reflect on your own experience of embodying your mother identity and the challenges of birthing a new you.

Ah, cm am savurat fiecare cuvânt al mamelor care au participat la Mother Circle!

Știu că puterea unui cerc de femei este neașteptată și că cine participă nu pleacă la fel de acolo. Schimbarea e în corp, în minte, în suflet.

🫶 Și totuși, mă surprinde de fiecare dată să văd cm se așază în fiecare mamă experiența asta. Să văd cm ele însele găsesc bucățele pe care le-au crezut uitate sau cm aprind lumina în colțuri care au nevoie să fie văzute.

⭕️ Te invit și pe tine, femeie și mamă, să-ți oferi o experiență unică, doar pentru tine.

Te invit să te lași ținută, văzută și să expiri poate după multă vreme cu totul, lăsând deoparte așteptări, presiune, cutiuțe în care trebuie să încapi și liste de rezolvat.

Te invit să cobori în tine și să-ți spui bine ai venit. Te văd, te simt, te ascult.

📆 Următoarele cercuri în persoană sunt luni, 22 IUNIE și vineri, 2 AUGUST, de la 5 PM, la FAR Coworking, Iași.

❗️Sunt doar 4 locuri în fiecare cerc, așa că nu aștepta prea mult pentru a te înscrie.

Durată: 2 ore

Preț: 200 ron.

Bilet: îl poți achiziționa prin linkul din BIO/pe pagina evenimentului pe Facebook/dă-mi un DM și îți trimit linkul de plată.

*După cumpărarea biletului, te rog să mă contactezi pe email ([email protected]) sau DM ca să-mi spui pentru ce dată te înscrii.

Honoured to be holding space for mothers,

🧡 Simona

💔 I felt these words painfully resonating with what I’ve seen around me too many times, as girl growing up, as a woman observing women being mothers, as a professional working with mothers and hearing their experience.

Disappearing as a woman because this is what you know is expected of you once you become a mother.

Putting yourself last and thinking this is the only way.

A toxic binary of me or my child that keeps mothers trapped and their womanhood snuffed.

🌑 There’s a new moon coming up and it’s under the sign of Cancer.

It’s a perfect time to reflect and be with the archetype of the mother, of the wounded child, to explore our relationship with caregiving and nurture.

A good time to examine our relationships with our mothers and observing how that is reflected in your own mothering.

Examine gently but discerningly what relationship you have with sacrifice.

How does your conditioning and socialisation into believing martyrdom is a characteristic of motherhood and an immutable truth, impact the way you mother?

I’d love to hear your reflections 🫶

Sending love,

🧡 Simona

I see you struggling to juggle it all, mama.

The day to day, the cooking, cleaning, bathing, the planning, the holding the family together, keeping your composure, not complaining, giving and giving.

🫠Thinking that
It’s because I\m not doing enough. That’s why it feels hard, that’s why I suck at this, that’s why I’m feeling guilty and like I’m failing to be the mother I wanted to be.

I’ll do more, I’ll loosen my boundaries, I’ll protect my partner’s time and sleep, I’ll give up on that h/week for myself. That’s gonna fix it.

And it doesn’t.

Giving all of you, more, better, harder is not gonna work.

Because this is what fills you with resentment. Towards yourself and others.

The more you give and the less you’re seen, the more resentment and anger bubble to the surface.

🫶🏻I know you’re doing your best, I see you!

It’s not you who needs to do more.

It’s the expectations you judge yourself by that are off the charts and probably not reflecting what really matters to you.

It’s society asking the world of you and offering zero support in return.

✨Starting to shift the way you experience the motherhood load, the guilt, the overwhelm is a game changer.

🪄There’s many ways you can work on that and being supported in the process helps you do it with more clarity and intention.

🌹Let’s take you out of the toxic pattern of not enoughness and let that light of yours shine. DM me to start working towards that together!

Holding space for you,

🧡 Simona

⭕️I hold Women Circles, specifically Mother Circles. I love them.

They fill me with a newfound and yet extremely old familiar feeling of power. Not the power that comes from domination. No, the power that flows softly, yet determined, the power that comes from vulnerability.

⚡️The power of women gathered together.

I am grateful to each and every mother who joined Mother Circle on Wednesday! It was magical. ✨

Feeling honoured to guide and witness such amazing women.

The way the group connects and finds common threads in their told stories is truly not something you experience every day. It’s unique.

The way tensions dissolve and we tap into parts of ourselves thought forgotten.

The way the circle holds all our stories without judgement.

📆 Next Mother Circles in person are on July 22nd and August 2nd.

🫶 I am looking forward to holding more amazing women in circle.

I felt inspired by the last gathering, so I wrote a blog article.

Here’s a little taste:

✍️ Why is it that whenever women gather together in a sacred, intentional space like a circle of women, they leave changed? What happens in the circle that alchemizes parts of themselves they thought lost, forgotten or lacking?

🌀 Comment WOMEN MAGIC for the link to my latest blog article on the power of women gathering together.

🇷🇴For my awesome Iași mamas!

Te invit la un cerc de mame intim, în persoană, sacru și puternic să celebrăm împreună nașterea ta ca mamă.

Temă: Celebrarea nașterii tale ca mamă.
Dă voce versiunii tale autentice ca mamă și femeie și onorează-ți transformarea.

Da, odată cu copilul tău te-ai născut și tu ca mamă. Și sunt sigură că nu ai avut timpul și contextul care cu adevărat să facă loc acestei versiuni noi ale tale și să o onoreze, să o sărbătorească!

Transformarea ta ca mamă e uriașă, plină de daruri și foarte puțin spre deloc recunoscută și celebrată.

Ritmul alert care te-a luat pe repede înainte de când ești mamă și societatea în care trăim au luat ca un dat devenirea ta ca mamă și acest proces intens prin care treci.

Vreau să facem loc versiunii tale de acum, să îi dăm o voce și să o susținem, recunoscând-o, alături de alte mame. In sisterhood, in kindness and compassion.

E momentul să vezi ce rămâne după ce dai deoparte presiunea altora, grija pentru ceilalți și tiparele care îți cer să te încadrezi. Să vezi ce minunăție cere să vorbească, să fie hrănită și ascultată.

Detalii:

Cercul de mame e format din 10 mame, pentru a crea un spațiu sigur, de conectare și de acceptare.

Durată: 2 h

Preț: 200 ron

La ce te poți aștepta pe parcursul cercului:

🤍 Meditație și relaxare, pentru a putea să te conectezi cu tine și să faci loc a ceea ce are nevoie să fie văzut să apară.
🤍 Conectare prin ritual și cerc cu celelalte femei care vor fi acolo pentru a crea un spațiu sigur de susținere și acceptare.
🤍 Spațiu de reflecție și journaling, precum și posibilitatea de a împărtăși ceea ce apare pentru tine.
🤍 Un spațiu doar al tău și doar pentru tine, în care vii așa cm ești, ești primită cu totul și susținută.
🤍 Atmosferă relaxată, cozy, încărcată de puterea pe care o dă un cerc de femei fabuloase adunate împreună.
🤍 Ceai, cafea, gustări și apă.

Poți cumpăra biletul pentru cerc folosind link-ul din BIO sau pe Facebook pe pagina evenimentului. Vei primi un email după cumpărarea biletului cu toate detaliile de care ai nevoie.

Abia aștept să te cunosc și să te susțin!

Holding space for mamas,

🧡 Simona

⭕️ Cum ar arăta să te accepți cu compasiune?

Cum ar fi dacă ți-ai da voie să simți știind că nu ești judecată, nu e nimic off limits, nu e nimic taboo?

Ce ai simți dacă te-ai așeza într-un cerc alături de alte mame, cu o mână pe piept și una pe pântec și ai respira adânc?

Ce ai simți să te uiți la tine cea de acum și la tot ce ai trăit de când ești mamă, cu mândrie și cu blândețe?

🫶 Te invit să treci pragul care duce imaginea asta din mintea ta în viața reală.

⭕️ Vino miercuri la MOTHER CIRCLE.

Tema cercului: Celebrarea ta ca mamă.

Dată+oră: 26 IUNIE, 5:00 PM.

Locație: Iași, FAR coworking space, Str. Golia nr. 4.

Durată: 2 ore.

Preț: 200 ron.

Bilet: îl poți achiziționa prin linkul din BIO/pe pagina evenimentului pe Facebook/dă-mi un DM și îți trimit linkul de plată.

✨ Petrecem împreună 2 ore delicioase și relaxante, care să îți reamintească cât de faină ești ca femeie și mamă și să te reconecteze cu puterea care vine dintr-un grup de femei care se adună împreună pentru a se potența una pe alta.

Meditație, ritual, journaling, sharing, gustărele (ceai, cafea, poate un vin).

Te aștept să ne cunoaștem și să dăm voce noii tu, născută odată cu copilul tău, șlefuită și încercată, descompusă și reconstruită în fiecare zi prin tot ce trăiești.

Holding space for mothers,
