A New Book is Coming Through (and I’m Sharing it With You)

In the summer of 2024 my partner and I spent our first night away from our daughter, time for just us to reconnect at one of our favorite hot springs. Our daughter was approaching age 2.5, a milestone that marked not only her growth, but also a return to myself.

~ A return to who I was and what I loved, but it was also a return to someone new who was still emerging.

That night I woke before dawn with creativity pouring through me. The outline and chapters of the book landed almost fully formed. I’ve carried the idea for over a year. Just last month I had a rare pocket of space to write, and already three chapters have come through.

This book is a collection of rituals and reflections to honor the passage from maiden to mother, drawn from my own season of unraveling and becoming.

I don’t yet know when—or if—it will become a physical book, but I want to honor the muse, so I’ll be sharing each chapter on Substack as it’s written.

We’ll journey over three years, from preconception through early motherhood, witnessing how profoundly a woman is changed along the way.

If you’d like to receive the full book as it unfolds, make sure you’re subscribed on Substack, and consider becoming a paid member to access all the chapters.

The first chapter will arrive December 15th. 🎉

With love from my writer’s desk,
Meredith
