Comment SOURCE to receive my weekly newsletter and these musings straight into your inbox.

I’d love to create a direct channel between you and I because I don’t particularly appreciate the fact that the robots and tech lords are the intermediaries deciding whether you should see my messages.

This is something I’ve been sitting with for a long time. This absurd notion that feminists are cold and heartless mothers, leaving newborns to rush back to work and generally ignoring and neglecting their children.

Folks, if feminists would be in power, we’d implement a two year paid maternity leave and direct payments to mothers to support them for their caretaking labor. We are loving and tender mothers, advancing the MOST motherhood-friendly movement.

What’s in the way of these measures? Conservatives.

Conservatives have co-opted motherhood.

The design: convince conservative women that motherhood is uniquely theirs to get their votes, because you don’t want to be like those cold progressive feminists over there do you? Then behind closed doors block any attempt to implement mother-supportive policies.

Keep the mothers tired, unsupported and lonely so they do not have any bargaining power and stay isolated and dependent on men. This is an ANTI-mother agenda.

Have you tried micro-dosing a strike? When women

Have you tried micro-dosing a strike?

When women withhold their labor (in homes, in workplaces, in nations) the world stops spinning. They should be terrified of that power. And we should remember that we hold it.

What to do during your micro-strike? Sleep. Walk. Eat. Read (for pleasure!). Dance. Write. Soon, you’ll remember what an unexploited nervous system feels like. Then when you return to your responsibilities, you’ll be stronger: more resourced, less resentful. Amazing. Celebrate yourself. Now we do another lap.

Your micro-strike might look different. Maybe it’s leaving a conversation early. Ignoring one after-hours email. Maybe it’s feeding no one but yourself for a day. Start small. Start playful. Keep it experimental.

Every “no” is a muscle fiber in the body of collective liberation. Over time, it gets easier.

After a while you’ll see: “No” will become your default boundary, your recalibration point.

Yes, withholding labor is terrifying, especially when survival feels fragile. I don’t dismiss or minimize that fear. That’s why we microdose it, so we can practice resistance without collapsing our lives. Each small act of refusal builds capacity for bigger ones.

This isn’t about laziness or rebellion for its own sake. It’s about re-centering life. Your life. When we withhold our labor, our energy, our caretaking, and pour them back into ourselves, something alchemical happens: we come back to life.

And that aliveness, the rested, resourced, unapologetic aliveness, is the revolution.

Try it. Withhold your labor. Withhold your energy. Withhold your endless yeses. Pour it all into your own replenishment.

Let your body remember what power feels like when it’s not being siphoned off.

That’s the foundation of every future worth building.

Start with one micro “no.” The rest (and the rest) will follow.

Comment MOTHERLAND 👇

Moms will create a whole human life and then say “I don’t know if I can figure out how to set up and run a business.”

Does any of this sound like you? (even though I’m a lawyer, this is a judgment free zone)

💳 Are you using your personal credit card to cover biz expenses because getting an EIN number feels too confusing?

🫠 Or maybe you’re still operating like an independent contractor because you googled “How to start an S-Corp” and your eyes glazed over after reading “Articles of Incorporation”?

🙈 Have you avoided hiring a CPA because if you can’t see the mess then maybe it doesn’t exist?

🥸 Are you opening yourself up to risk by working with contractors without understanding misclassification rules?

You are not alone. I’ve worked with so many business owners who struggle with these things because they can feel scary and confusing.

MAMA, you BUILT EYEBALLS from scratch. You can click some buttons. You can set up a system. You can build something of your own.

Inside The Motherland, we make contracts, business formations and hiring s-e-x-y (come find our thirst traps). Because all the legal stuff is not supposed to overwhelm or scare or confuse you. It’s supposed to protect you.

This is one of the things that sets this course apart. We don’t just offer community and strategy, we also cover the nitty gritty of what you actually need to legally protect yourself and your children.

I want us to have access to a simple life. I want

I want us to have access to a simple life. I want us to have ease. I want us to be able to embrace home and hearth without sacrificing our passions. That’s what all of my work is about.

Contrary to the rhetoric out there, feminism does not advocate for mothers rushing back to work after birth, or generally the separation of mothers and babies. That’s actually exploitative capitalism.

The Lords of capitalism want us to put our babies down so our hands are free to keep serving them. Feminism includes the mothers too. It’s an imperfect movement (because it’s up against capitalism) but we all benefit from it, including tradwives.

True traditionalism would mean women working together communally, and raising babies together as village moms.

The nuclear family is a recent trend, and not in line with how animals or indigenous tribes raise children. Or how we used to raise children. It is not natural. Matriarchy is natural. Matriarchy is true traditionalism.

For mothers to achieve domestic bliss and professional power at the same time, she actually needs to have access to wealth. She needs to learn how to bend the rules in her favor. She needs to set up systems that support her choices and her lifestyle.

I created the Motherland because I want mothers and children to have wealth and freedom. True freedom, independent of men. This frees the entire family ecosystem.

Mothers are the true regenerative source. When mothers create wealth, power imbalances will start to restore. We are bringing power back to where it belongs. The Matriarch.

If we’re going to be creative boss moms and also be present at home, at least have the right business structures set up to protect you.

Comment ‘MOTHERLAND’ to get access for life.👇

Join us for a tour, and listen to me explain the Motherland to my children. (Watch all the way until the end for some laughs). 🤣

It was a fun challenge to explain complex concepts to my children. Concept like contracts, misclassification, branding, tax hacks, operations, management, automations, S-corps, tech tools and second passports.

With every concept I explained, the end goal was moms and children having more freedom and money. So that’s what I’m inviting you into.

Inside The Motherland, you’ll be held inside a small inner circle of mothers who will stay with you on your journey as an entrepreneur and through motherhood. 🫂

💼 Business courses were not specifically for mothers - until now.

‼️Once you join The Motherland, you have access to the material for LIFE. That means you can come back to the curriculum whenever you need, whether that’s days, months or years from when you sign up.

This course was curated to center and honor your motherhood.

There’s nothing else like this on earth: a seasoned employment lawyer sharing all of her secrets harnessed through the lens of the regenerative raw force of motherhood.
