The sweetest things….

I’ll never get tired of hearing this one.

My morning sunrise breath and movement practice on the beach.

Simple. Silent. Profound.

(even with a little one and a 🐶 running around)

A reset to my system.

Helps me feel connected, balanced, whole, and happy.

Sharing a tiny slice of my world with you.
Do I need a caption for this one?

Full moon morning embodiment.
What does taking up space
Freedom and trust feel like?

I might be half-assing this social media launch, but I assure you my full ass is inside this creation.

Of all the things that are hard with a baby, I find making time for social media one of the hardest.
I typically spend loads of time crafting my captions and pouring my heart out when I have the time to do so.
I find it cathartic and I enjoy it.
But I try to not be on my phone in front of my baby. And he doesn`t like not having full attention.
So I`ve been rushing through my posting as of late.
Even before baby, when time was limited Instagram is one of the first things I don`t do.

But when I`m trying to really share something dear to my heart connect, well, 🤷🏼‍♀️
I`m grateful to be a recovering perfectionist
(as opposed to a full blown one, which would have been stressing about it.)

I hope you enjoy this most adorable photo bomb.

I`d love to talk to you more about the pleasures of imperfection, which we will most certainly do inside of the Revolution.

Reminder that you have one week left to reach out and sign up.

I want to hold you in Life, Love, Magic, Trust, sisterhood, Imperfection, and slowing down.

I needed a good sunrise to resource this morning. 🥰
It`s be a few days.

And I`ve been feeling a bit off
in like an Aries full moon hangover. 🤪

A comedown from his very outward energy.

Plus I am trying to sell women`s work
which is a polarizing challenge 🙃

Plus we are moving right now. 😰

(Oh yeah and we just bought a house. 😳)

Feels like a lot.

How are you feeling?

Sending Sunday love that slows you down like honey
so you can feel a little more magic today.

Grateful to be feeling tapped back in,
for now.😘 …

Does the thought of slowing down make you feel uncomfortable?
Do you just not have the time,
don`t know how, or
beat yourself up being "unproductive?"

I get it. I was the queen of being productive, and badass, always "getting shit done"
I felt SO uncomfortable and incapable of doing nothing.

And, I can promise you, you are missing out on SO much joy, enjoyment, and pleasure from experiences and from life by moving through it too quickly.

What do you think/fear would happen if you slowed down?
Why?
Where do those stories come from/where did you learn that?
(Journal prompt these!)

In this society we glorify "busy"
We wear it like a badge of pride
A crown of "success"

And Why?
when no matter how "busy" we are, we still don`t ever feel like we`re doing enough, never getting to the end of our todo list, don`t feel successful enough, are never earning ourselves "more time."

That`s because working harder and moving faster doesn`t buy us more time.

Being present does.

Slowing down does.

It allows us time to feel ourselves, know ourselves, and move from a place of purpose.

Priorities become clearer
Choices become easier

The less we do on a day to day basis, the more enjoyable life becomes.

Did you know we often over estimate what we can do in a day and underestimate what we can do in a year.
Read that again.

The irony is we drive ourselves to so much stress, we are actually less productive humans. when really if we slowed down and filled our own cups first, and moved with a clarity, devotion, and purpose to our lives,

Mmmmmm….. life can feel soooooo much sweeter.
Like newborn baby on a swing for the first time sweeter… seriously

I know this doesn`t sound easy.
It takes practice.
Daily devotion to self and practice.

This is one of my main goals for The Revolution,
to celebrate the fuck out of slowing down.

If any of this sounds like you, let`s chat. I would be honored to help.

💛 and 🍯,

Our conversations are one of my favorite ways of divining.

Divination: Knowing by Intuition, God, or Supernatural Power.

(Yup, real witchy shit.
Professor Trelauny style)

🧙‍♀️🌕😉

She also provides an entire lunar guidance system that matches perfectly with our cyclical womanly nature.

She`s a keeper and a teacher of our planet`s rhythmic intelligence.

Tonight is the full moon!
Not only is this my favorite time to receive guidance from conversations with the moon,
Basic Moonology teaches us that the full moon`s peak illumination helps shed light on certain aspects of our lives. Usually things that are not working so well for us. As a result it can feel overwhelming and people can get a bit "looney" at this time.
It`s is the best time in the lunar cycle to practice releasing and letting go that which you don`t want to carry in to the next.

As I sit here writing this, under the October full hunter`s moon, in north GA, all the leaves are changing colors and beginning to fall. (I am camping right now in a gorgeous wooded wonderland!🍂🍂🍂)
Perfectly symbolizing what we and all of nature are being called to do at this time. It`s time to shed for the winter, reflect, and let go.

I believe one of the biggest reasons we feel so disconnected from ourselves is because we have lost our connection with nature. We are designed to cycle with her and we have forgotten how.

I want a group of women with whom to teach, share, and practice this rhythm with month after month & moon after moon.

My new mentorship and magic coven will contain within these lessons and so much more. It`s called the Revolution. We start October 30th.

Love and Lunar wisdom,
Seychelle

Loves, I am seeking women to join my circle.
There is a movement happening across the planet.
Can you feel it?
We are waking up.
I`ve never felt so grateful, excited, or proud to be a woman. In fact I spent most of my life feeling less than or needing to prove that I wasn`t less than, or feelings just plain inconvenienced for being and like I needed to work harder because I was a woman.
And how crazy is that?!?
(And I bet you can relate)

All of that is changing (for women and men) right now!
And I want to help guide you through this reclamation in the most empowered and sovereign way.
We have so many collective and personal wounds to heal.

Women heal in circle. When they are seen, held, and supported in community with other women.

And when we heal,
the world heals.

Does this sound frightening to you? Too much…something… woo woo perhaps?

It would have to me not so long ago.
AND, I can`t express enough how being a part of a community for feminine and spiritual emergence has changed my life.
How much this work means to me and how differently I show up for myself as a grounded, connected, balanced human because I felt the call and had the courage to dive in.

I`m starting a mentorship program, sacred circle, and women`s revolution and you`re invited to join.

All the details are in the link in my bio.
I`d love to chat with you more about this.
Love and magic,
Seychelle

Good morning.
Daily devotional, gratitude, movement, and self love practice…

Love is… the foundation
the place from which to build your (home) relationship

Love is… the easy part
relationships take constant work
the best and most fun and most challenging kind of work

Our relationship has been through several ringers recently,
loss, trauma, becoming parents, and a spiritual reawakening
We are constantly re learning how to support, pleasure, and connect with one another.

We grow closer and deeper in love for it.

People often fear change
fear the people they love won`t love them if the ways in which they relate to one another change.
and that is simply not true.

We are constantly in a state of change, growth, flow, evolution.
To deny it is to become stuck
To feel stuck blocks the flow of love

communication
truth &
trust
are sacred
and must be practiced to be maintained

The mantra I keep going to recently with my partner (which is repeat softly and gently to myself in my head as a reminder) is
Open
Soften
Receive

This drops me into my feminine, embodied presence.
It works especially well for sex 😉

(And since I know you are reading this, I love you babe! Thanks for always being open to me using our story to help elevate others)

If you have one minute to pause, this video will leave you smiling. 🐢🌊🌅🙏🏻 …

Nature is magic. Nature is medicine. Nature connects us back to ourselves. Nature is home.

Everyone lives somewhere they can be in nature everyday. Yes a park totally counts. It doesn`t have to be a secluded beach or a deep forrest. All you need is a single tree and to slow down long enough to feel yourself drop in.

"I was wrong about home birth. It was way easier than I thought." – Husband
Why did I share my home birth video? Why did I share such an intimate, private, and sacred part of my life with the internet? Part 1/2

Because I believe it`s important
To show what childbirth can look like when a woman gives birth on her own terms.
To empower more women to take responsibility for their birth.
To inspire women to make choices outside the conventional medical interventions that are pushed upon us during one of the most powerful rights of passage that she will ever go through.

For me watching positive birth videos and stories was super helpful, so I`m giving back the gift of mine.

AND
for all the dads and partners out there who need to see it as well.
His role in our birth was, as you can see, the most important person present.

AND
For all the fear that surrounds childbirth.
I`ve know I wanted a home birth since I first learned of it.
My husband took some convincing.
He works in EMS, has delivered babies in the back of an ambulance, and had shown up at houses where things were not going as hoped.
AND as our conversation yesterday (and this video) highlighted, he admitted that when the time came, he needn`t have been so afraid.

People say to me "you`re brave to do a home birth." And I feel the exact opposite. I think going in to a hospital, for any reason other than a true emergency is terrifying (which the natural process of child birth, certainly is NOT an emergency, nor terrifying)

Can things go wrong, sure.
Can it turn in to an emergency, sure.
And preparations can be made for this.
BUT, the statistics of a low risk pregnancy needing "medical intervention" are SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER for home birth than for a hospital birth.
Meaning, you increase your chances of needing medical intervention by being in a medical facility.

My Birth Story
After 2 weeks of frustrating and discouraging prodromal (start/stop, "it`s happening! No, it`s not") labor,
On march 15, one day after my "due date" the surging started and it didn`t stop.
Everything was ready. It had been for weeks.
I put on my birth play list, essentials oils, and spent several hours dancing, swaying, rocking, and journeying within my body.
We went for a walk, had a picnic, and it started to rain.
Things got intense.
I remember describing the surges as "excruciating" and "nauseating" and also knowing it was just the beginning.
I took a bath filled with rose petals.
I felt like a birthing goddess.
Will squeezed tight around my hips during every surge to relieve some of the pressure in my pelvis. (He did this for the next 9 hours.)
Things started escalating rapidly. Our Midwife and doula arrived around 9pm and I got in the birthing pool around 11.
I would vomit after the hardest of the surges. (I actually preferred the puking to the contractions)
I was so grateful for all the practice I`ve done breathing and relaxing my body between surges.
Labor was more intense (and agonizing) than I expected but I never felt as if I couldn`t handle it.
Soften, open, surrender.
I position I found the most "comfort" in was on my knees with my head, chest, and arms laid over the couch or over the side of the birthing pool with Will squeezing my hips.
I moaned, a primal birthing call.
Outside a storm was raging. I remember hearing the strength of the wind and rain, the thunder and lightning.
It was midnight and I remember feeling tired and falling asleep between some of the surges.
I kept repeating my calming birthing affirmations, but at some point I stopped trying to remain calm while riding the waves.
I started crying. My primal moans turned into wild wails
And then, I started to push…continued in the comments …

You know how reading a book can change your life?
I read/listened to 28 books in the last year.
