So grateful that our little guy gets to grow up watching his parents do what they love, chase their goals, follow their passion, lead a healthy lifestyle and be surrounded by people consistently showing him WHY exercise is so good, endorphin dopamine hits constantly creating the good happy vibes âď¸ @tulummuaythai
Birth! What a wild ride..
Our second home birth, but this time just us, born free, straight into the arms of her dad and it couldnât have been more perfect. (Will love to share more about this in the future)
I woke up at 2am with mild contractions, I stayed resting in bed for hours, contractions continued for about 11 hours like this, able to breathe through while laying, standing or on all 4âs. Flame and Eddie painting and playing. Then I started feeling they were going to intensify. My mum started making her way to help with flame and our doula did too. Both about an hour away. I got into the shower, still able to stand for a few, then all of a sudden they got really intense, I dropped down to the floor, Eddie holding my hand and I began to roar like I never have before, so much intensity in a short period of time.. and my body started to push on its own, no words to describe the feeling of a tiny humans head descending⌠i thought it was way too soon⌠then I was telling Eddie to get ready to catch her, and with the next two contractions she was in his arms.
Caught our little girl in the shower myself, came so fast. Brooke is a warrior. What a primal experience to do that together at home alone
We found out the gender at birth was an epic suprise.
Had a lot of time off the internet lately, what I can truly say is. Life begins properly when you disconnect đ
Mum. A word, that truly transcends language, impossible to even touch on with words.. To become one and be one.
How do you begin to touch on the process of becoming, of going to the stars and bringing a new soul into the world, what it is to hold, carry and nurture life, to channel and allow another life force to move through and out of your being.
The word mum feels so small compared to what it truly is, something that is also so fluid, ever changing and in a constant state of evolution.
Big ups to @eddie_fightingfarrell and flame for gifting me the blessing and title of âmumâ
And to my own mum, a true âinfluencerâ the embodiment of what it means to be a women, fierce and nurturing, that itâs ok to follow your own path even if it goes against the main stream, that a womenâs intuition should never be ignored, that self acceptance, self love and self respect is at the core of whatever we do, that we donât need anything outside ourselves to be whole â¤ď¸

Not just through fighting, BUT through fighting he showed me what true support really is, whatâs possible when someone believes in you and shows you how to believe in yourself, to build confidence in yourself and to do things you thought you never could. This ripples out into our lives, through over 17 years, through so many transformations and evolutions of each other. Love you so much big dog â¤ď¸ @eddie_fightingfarrell
Donât overlook the basics. In fighting⌠and in life⌠the foundation is everything. Iâve felt just how much sleep quality impacts everything⌠especially since becoming a mum⌠recovery, energy, mood, and how I show up every day!
