Sacred Quotes from Alison Jane Ryan:
“As I got deeper into my own practice of taking care of myself, how I went about doing that and really feeling myself on multiple levels~ going from a massive people please, codependency, mindset work, all the beliefs coming up for me related to motherhood~ I dove deeper into those practices and recognized such a need to show and teach other mothers how to care for themselves.”
“When I learned to put myself first ~ that is when my life really shifted.”
“I had choices and control over how I wanted to move forward.”
“What is it that I need? Not what do my children or my spouse need, but what do I need to thrive in life?”
“This generation we are in is really willing to pull back the curtain a little bit more…to learn from each other that we can really create our experience and choices we are making and enjoy the motherhood journey that is a part of who we are, but not all of who we are.”
