Welcome to episode 7 of the Dare to Flourish Podcast. This week I'm chatting with Mothering Mentor, Marion Rose.
“I long to live in a world where every child's feelings are heard, no child is left to cry, no baby is left alone to cry, no mother is left alone to cry”. (Marion Rose)
She helps mothers to be compassionate with themselves and offers effective and long term parenting practices to help our children thrive. In addition to being an inspiration as a mother and providing powerful tools and techniques that we can embrace on our own mothering journey, she is also a savvy business woman and prolific course maker. If you go to her website (and I recommend that you do) you'll find about 16 free courses available together with the same amount of paid courses.
In this conversation we explore the concept of guilt and talk about replacing our internalised dialogue. Marion explains her Inner Loving Presence Process. We of course talk about self-love and sisterhood and she shares her gorgeous recommendation for having empathy buddies – friends who can just be with you while you let your feelings flow and why you may need different friends for different feelings.
We chat about Marion's take on spirituality – love and compassion in action and listening to our intuition and Marion explains why it is never too late to listen to our child's feelings or our own feelings.

![Co-created Ceremony
One of the joys of on-line circles for me is exploring the ways we can co-create ceremony.
In today’s Sharing Circle, those of us who could, spontaneously gathered a stone, a feather, a bowl of water and a candle. We each created a simple altar aligning earth, air, fire and water with the four directions and we then shared a simple ceremony.
To our circle altar I added a sculpted fly agaric mushroom to represent the online eco-system of our own mycelial networks of interconnection and inspiration, a ceramic butterfly to represent the transformation that takes place in circle, a silver horse to represent the Celtic Goddesses and a small copper bowl representing the strength of our relationships.
Our closing invitation was to find a guiding myth for this season. After Circle I pulled a card from my Tarot of the Divine deck (@yoshiyoshitani) which is inspired by deities, folklore and fairytales from around the world. My card was the story of Donkeyskin, a French fairytale representing being caught up in your own insecurities 😳The message was a wonderful reflection of what came up for me in Circle and an invitation to step out of those insecurities.
The Grove really is a wonderful collective of wellbeing practitioners, creatives and community organisers who are seeking authentic community and are willing to collaborate and conspire with imagination and integrity.
We are open for new co-conspirators to join us until Thursday and currently have 5-spaces available to reach our current capacity.
Leave a 🌳 in the comments or message me if you’d like full details.
With you in Circle in these (r)evolutionary times
