Golden Nurture is a heartwarming read highlighting the beauty to savour, generous gems of nourishment and ways to care for ourselves. I love how Emily creates much-needed connections between maiden and mother — it always feels like a warm hug.
The Moon Shed feels like both a considered and magical space to spend time. I love the way Claire blends the tarot with practical pointers and brilliant insights into wellbeing in midlife. Claire is always a supportive presence, I often feel 'seen' by her and always appreciate her musings.
Savour brought me to Substack and I always appreciate Alice's writing. I love her insights into life, mothering, creativity, writing, gardening, travel and culture, as well as all of the delicious things in life, of course. Alice's words always stay with me, I often learn something new, and something about myself. I am deeply inspired by Alice's words and work.
I have found Beth’s words and her approach to the craft of writing hugely inspiring, and life-changing in a number of ways. Beth’s SoulCircle writing community feels like both a sacred space and soul food — a place where Beth tenderly holds each writer, gently nudging each of us to uncover and put words to truths held deep within. I find Beth to be a deeply supportive presence here on Substack, she always makes time to give feedback and I deeply value her insights and wisdom.
I love Lindsay's writing for always bringing a new perspective in a refreshing yet comforting way. Lindsay combines the perfect blend of practical advice with soulful storytelling which is always very welcome!
Flourish & Fare is an evocative, whimsical and beautiful publication with Aimee's wonderful insights from the English countryside. It is as comforting as a cup of tea and as wild as a walk in a meadow.
Wild Soul Collective is a place I am drawn to endlessly for its beauty in noticing the subtle, sensitive shifts in life and the beauty in the liminal through the lens of the seasons. There is a sense of both wildness and home in Liz's words which always fill me with joy and inspiration.
Rooted & Rested is a place that I am drawn to for its creative and practical ways of allowing us to come home to ourselves within our busy lives. Carmen has much wisdom to share from her personal experiences, beautiful insights from her corner of the world and is so generous in celebrating others and creating a feeling of a supportive village.
I have admired Eminé's work and words for a long time — she explores the layers of life with care and reverence, always underpinned with a gentle fierceness. (More Than) the Crumbs is nourishment for the mothering soul.
Artful Movement is a beautiful expression of Bridget's life and work weaving in inspiration, insights, stories and movement in a supportive and nourishing way. I am so grateful for this space that allows me to come back to myself in a way that always feels gentle, sensitive and like a beautiful balm, often unlocking something within me.
A beautiful window into living a creative life with plenty of opportunities for getting involved and creating yourself. Océane generously offers invitations to connect with our creativity in a fun and inspiring way.
Telling Their Tales effortlessly blends the stories of medieval women with modern day experiences via Holly's beautifully insightful writing. It is a window into a mysterious world made engaging and relevant by Holly's way of relating events to today's realities. I also love the book reviews and the glimpses into Holly's world of early motherhood.
of rosemary and time is a place that I am drawn to for its delicate yet deep beauty. Julia shares her heart-filled experiences of mothering and living in the Italian countryside with raw sensitivity and a beautiful sense of wonder.
Sovereign by Laura Durban is a publication featuring exquisite reads that reframe what it is to be human, Laura is doing extremely empowering and inspiring work and a lot of her posts have shifted something within me.
The Gathering feels like both an inspiring and welcoming place to return to. A place that allows us to be ourselves in our fullness and values the sense of support, togetherness and community above all else. Allegra shares generously from her own experiences of living life outside of the lines, as well as her ideas for living a fulfilling, creative life.
Reading Natalie's writing feels welcoming and like a cosy chat with a cup of tea in a familiar village hall. I have loved seeing the evolution of Natalie's space and voice here on Substack and always value her honest and truthful insights into mothering and yoga teaching. Somewhere I always look forward to returning.
I love Claudia's beautiful and layered take on mothering, honouring the creative journey alongside our children. A generous, supportive soul and dream-weaver — I look forward to her words which always seem to speak to what I am experiencing...
A beautiful, empowering and insightful deep dive into the inner work required to build joyfully and sustainably on Substack. Thank you for your wisdom and encouragement as always Claire xx
One of the highlights of my festive season. It was the podcast I listened to when out in a wintry garden and whilst wrapping presents. Beth captures so much more than one day of Christmas but the deeper essence of the season as a state of being. A cosy and magical listen, thank you Beth xx
A brilliantly written take on mothering in the early years. Hugely relatable, raw, poignant and yet often hilarious. Reading Charlotte’s tales is like catching up with a friend at a playgroup whilst we watch our kids in trepidation of what could possibly happen next…! xx
