Higher Self.
Aspiring Matriarch.
Future Ancestor.

“Growing up, I never knew a relaxed woman.
Successful women? Yes. Productive women? Plenty.
Anxious and afraid and apologetic women? Heaps of them.

But relaxed women? At-ease women?
Women who don't dissect their days into half hour slots of productivity? Women who prioritize rest and pleasure and play?
Women who aren't afraid to take up space in the world?
Women who give themselves unconditional permission to relax?
Without guilt? Without apology? Without feeling like they need to earn it?
I'm not sure I've ever met a woman like that.

But I would like to become one.”

— Nicola Jane Hobbs

There wasn’t a template for the kind of woman I longed to become. So I conceived her.

I opened a yoga studio. I released a marriage, a non-profit career, an identity built on struggle and perseverance. I followed the promise of my inner truth. I studied, healed, meditated, rested, traveled, and remembered. From Belize to Bali, Costa Rica to Oaxaca, to the quiet corners of my heart and the oldest iterations of my soul, I recovered from burnout, healed generational trauma, and built a life aligned with reverence.

Now, I live in rhythm with the seasons, my cycle, and the sacred. I teach. I write. I create. I receive. I mother a vision. I tend a field. I am a co-creator of the Matriarchy.

This is a soft revolution.
This is a sensual reclamation.
This is what becoming well-resourced looks like.

I believe in tending the small things as holy. In keeping quiet promises to ourselves. In choosing softness without surrendering strength. In beauty as a bridge to the divine.

I offer my life as living proof that joy is not just the path — it’s the whole point. I am here to lead by embodiment, not instruction.

Whether you’re seeking sacred structure, spiritual nourishment, or simply want to live more slowly … you’re in the right place.
