Holding space for all kinds of mothers
We just ended Sunday May 11th here in Japan. Jaiden (my only one at home!) made us eggs benedict with a side of avocado. We ate breakfast together, chatted and planned the next 6 weeks through IB exams, prom, graduation, trip to Thailand, and relocation. Deven facetimed from California. And Rohan called in from London. I'm a boy mama X3 and about to be an empty nester (except for the cuddly 85lb fur baby!) . This day was extra special for me
And to my own beautiful mom Lalita Gupta —thank you for being the kind of mother who shows up with love, consistency, and grace. You’ve been my rock, my greatest teacher, and the example I return to again and again. So much of how I mother and how I lead women today is because of you. Your strength, your warmth, and your belief in me are gifts I carry in my heart every day. I love you endlessly
Today, I want to hold space for all women.
To the mothers raising wise, wild, and wonderful souls…
To the ones who have lost their moms and carry her essence deep within…
To the mamas who have said goodbye to little ones far too soon…
To the women whose hearts are still whispering the hope of motherhood…
To the fur baby mamas who pour their heart into their four-legged companions...
To the bonus moms, the aunties, soul sisters, and healers who show up with boundless love…
And to the soul mamas—the teachers, mentors, and caretakers who mother the world in quiet, powerful ways...
You are all part of this tapestry of motherhood. You are all seen. You are all honored.
Motherhood isn’t one role—it’s an energy. It’s that nurturing, intuitive, life-giving frequency that pulses through women in every chapter, in every form.
Today, if you can, take a moment to breathe in the soft, sacred aroma of rose—the oil of divine love and the highest vibration in nature. Or perhaps clary sage, long known for supporting feminine flow and intuition. Add a touch of geranium, the oil of compassion, to round out your ritual. These are not just oils… they are plant whispers from the earth reminding you of who you are: powerful, radiant, whole.
You are the heartbeat of this world. You deserve to be cherished not just today, but every single day.
