People talk a lot about secure attachment — about being there for your baby, responding to their cues, being a safe base they can return to. And yes, that’s real and it matters deeply.
But here’s what nobody really told me: it goes both ways.
She needs me — my voice, my smell, my heartbeat close. And somewhere along the way, I realized I need her just as much. The weight of her in my arms settles something in me. Her smile at a stranger across the room makes me proud in a way I’ve never felt before. Watching her sleep, knowing she feels safe enough to rest — that heals parts of me I didn’t know needed healing.
Secure attachment isn’t just something I’m building for her. It’s something we’re building together. She’s anchoring me just as much as I’m anchoring her.
To every parent out there — it’s okay to admit you need your baby too. That’s not weakness. That’s the whole point.
Soft life is hard work. 🦢
Not because softness is difficult by nature,
but because taking full responsibility for your life is.
People love taking credit for beautiful results:
the thriving business, the healthy body, the peaceful relationship, the freedom, the confidence.
But when the results are disappointing,
most people look for someone else to blame.
The moment you stop outsourcing responsibility for your life, you become powerful.
A soft life is not built on luck but on decisions, standards, discipline. On honesty with yourself.
Your life changes the moment you stop waiting to be saved and start creating the reality you deeply want to live in.
My pottery is now made ten times slower 🦦♥️
But that’s for a good reason.
I have to admit, that was one of the things that used to worry me most about having children: the idea that my life would be put on pause, that I wouldn’t be able to do the things I love, that I might lose this part of myself.
This is the first piece I made entirely while wearing my baby.
It’s hard, but not impossible.
And now my worries are gone, because there’s so much more joy than I could have ever imagined. My hands are full — and so is my heart.
Children aren’t a burden. Motherhood isn’t a prison.
I’ve transformed in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I couldn’t have done it without this new role. It has expanded my life in the most beautiful way.
And I trust that I will continue to navigate it the best I can.
I could never have imagined creating something that would grow beyond me and serve such a beautiful purpose. I’m happy to share my way of working with clay and decorating my pieces.
The Handbuilt Pottery Course teaches you how to create ceramics from beginning to end, exploring all the handbuilding techniques, as well as firing and glazing your pieces. It’s perfect for beginners.
The Surface Decoration Masterclass explores my approach to surfaces. It’s a simple process with no glaze recipes, and is suitable for those who already know how to shape and fire clay.
Enrollment closes soon, and the Early Bird offer ends in one day! 🦦💫💌
The ceramic pieces I make are fired in an electric kiln, using simple materials and a thoughtful process.
If you’ve ever felt limited by your setup, this is your sign to begin anyway.
Whether you’re just starting with clay or looking to deepen your surface work, I share my full approach inside my courses.
Enrollment is now open.
You don’t need a wood kiln or complex glaze chemistry
to create pieces that feel alive.

You will find strength within you that you didn’t know existed.
Eight weeks into motherhood, I feel more efficient, more resilient, more grounded.
Life has softened and sharpened at the same time.
Less noise, more truth.
Less rushing, more meaning.
Clay teaches you to slow down. To feel more than to control.
In my courses, I share not only techniques, but my way of working.

The past three weeks have been a whole new life. It feels big, messy, happy, raw, and intense. I won’t lie — the hormonal cascade is real, and I’ve cried more than I expected, sometimes from tenderness and sometimes from helplessness. But I’m so grateful to our little miracle for making me a mom 🤍
Baby Yasmin joined our family on February 21, expanding our world with a love we’ve never known before.
Birth was powerful and transformative — intense and wild. Thanks to my preparation, my husband, and our holistic OB, I had a positive experience in a hospital setting. I went into labor spontaneously and labored for 38 hours. No epidural — just full readiness for the intensity. You don’t get a medal for that, but there are many benefits, truly. The pushing was the wildest part, and it all happened so fast. Time and space collapsed between transition and the moment I held the baby on my chest.
I’m so grateful for how it unfolded, and we are recovering well. It still amazes me what a woman’s body can do and what it takes to bring new life into this world. It feels like a magical realm.
