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.
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.
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.
The Wildflower Way has been my go-to resource for creative inspiration as well as a beautiful sense of community and connection in motherhood. There is a sense of beautiful reverence around the act of mothering, as well as honouring the different ways of being within the role and the depths it takes us to.

Being in Motherhood is a safe place to share from the wilds of mothering, with support from Emma. Emma writes of her experiences generously and wholeheartedly allowing space for others to share their stories too. It feels nourishing to be in company of others navigating a similar life chapter in a way that excavates the often unexpected depths of the mothering experience and provides a path to healing in its community too.
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.
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.
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.

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.
I am always inspired by Sarah's writing about creativity and seasonality, her approach has depth and meaning whilst being accessible. Sarah is a generous spirit, her writing is always deeply thoughtful and considered with connection and collaboration with others at its heart.
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.
I love Hunter's openness about her experiences of motherhood and beyond, her words are incredibly tender and relatable. I also find her take on slow, magical, everyday living a source of inspiration. Connecting with Hunter feels extremely supportive (like the hug we all need) and I love the community she is fostering here.
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!
