I totally know how you feel and I AM part of the moms club. I sit and just listen among groups of moms because I just can’t relate. I don’t have the typical complaints of motherhood and my kids are my buddies, I enjoy being with them but they also know I mean business! Talking back to adults Um 🤔 NOâ˜ðŸ»ï¸ It never happens in our house and not because we’ve punished it out of them, but they have never really even tried. I find that most new behavior comes from the friends they hang out with.
I also feel bad for woman who are consumed with motherhood because we are so much more than just people who clean up their mess and make sure they all eat and sleep! One of my goals is to show moms that, you don’t have to stop being sexy and uniquely you, just because you’ve popped out a baby!

I’m one of those “breeders” and I’m doing my best to drain this world of its resources by producing little me’s because I think babies are fun and it’s my job as a woman. hahah. Just kidding!
Let’s be serious though, I could careless if a woman doesn’t want to have babies, why should it bother me or anyone else, unless you’re married to someone who really wanted kids. What someone has chosen to do with their body and life is really none of anyone else business. This doesn’t apply to only woman but everyone!
As a mom of 4 this has been my experience. I use to say I didn’t want kids, at all! I was mostly a tomboy and I’m not a “let me hold your baby” person, unless it’s family. I don’t like other peoples kids for the most part. Yet, there was a part of me that felt drawn to this mom thing. Maybe it’s because I like to teach? Anyway, I’m glad I listened to my inner voice. I know usually women talk about the terrible aspects of pregnancy and birth, but let me tell you, nothing has made me feel more powerful than giving birth to my kids. It’s the most profound experience I’ve yet to have. I felt as though I could conquer the world. That feeling wears off once you haven’t slept for days haha, but it’s a powerful memory that I try to keep close to my heart and draw from when I feel like shit.
The hardest thing for me has been that I don’t fit into the common mom mold, “kids ruined my body” they “drain my energy” they’re “uncontrollable” and “I can’t have a life of my own or be successful”. I feel like my kids have always fit rather easily into whatever was going on in my life. We really haven’t changed our lifestyle, instead each child was brought into OUR way of living. I didn’t want toys all over my home, so I didn’t let toys take over my home. They don’t make the choices, we do. Yes, times were rough when we moved away from family and didn’t have money for sitters, but we figured it out and that was only a short period of time in our life. We wanted to travel or move, we did, because guess what, babies and kids are moveable!
As far as moms always taking about their kids or child birth, I know for myself, it’s never been about trying to convince other women to have kids too, it’s because I’m proud or because its something that I have in common with moms. Think about how much we like to talk about pole and how those who haven’t tried it, just don’t get why this is such an interesting thing to discuss. lol
I have recently given up regular performance opportunities, because of how time consuming it would be, I used the kids as an excuse, but honestly I know I wouldn’t have done it even if I didn’t have the kids. I value my time and staying out late to be on stage for a few minutes did appeal to me. I like my nights at home and being able to workout in the morning! I couldn’t do that if I were out all night. I think it’s important for my kids to see that I have always taken time for me, and Chris and I, have always taken time for us. Our life doesn’t revolve around them, they are beautiful accents to it. I don’t understand where this idea of giving up your life to have kids came from, I think it’s made for some very spoiled kids and stressed out moms!
My point of that boring “motherhood is great” rant, is that I’m glad that I did listen to myself and I did have kids. In fact if Henry hadn’t been born this site wouldn’t exist. However, If you know that you really don’t want kids, then do… not… do it! It’s a lifetime choice that isn’t of everyone. xoxo

Good question!

I’ve been away for a month myself. I hope you’re feeling better!!!
-
Yep, take it down. Some people might not understand that it’s not permanent. They might also think I has damaged the home in some way (we know better of course!). I’ve had guests think my pole was a support for the ceiling before! 😂
-
It’s not uncommon to feel that way, you’re asking your body to do something new and everything is more connected than we realize between body and mind. There are a lot of theories discussing how becoming more flexibility is more about programming of your nervous system than physical limitations of our muscle and tendons.
If you haven’t tried the flowmotion routine or the stretches yet, you might find them less stressful, because we’re not stopping and holding, it’s about relaxing and moving through your ROM.

Here’s the intro for the Caterpillar Program for those who don’t have access to the lessons yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD1wSd_9zuY

Shoulder mount will be one, yes!
-
That’s great to hear!!!!!! I’ve got the Invert program almost finished!
-
Follow the advice in the lessons always try and work both sides, condition, stretch and rest. Foam rollers and tennis balls are our friends!
-
The pole is too tight if it catches when you spin it, creeking can also mean it’s too tight. I hope you got it worked out!

I haven’t tried the spray stuff for aerial or pole, guessing it would work for anything silks related but become slick on poles or other metal/powder coated finishes. So that’s a good idea! I haven’t found anything, so I try to limit my time in the sun while poling, hooping what have you or place my apparatus in the shade.

I’m finishing up the invert program and hope to have it released by the end of the month!

It’s a good one, I hope you enjoy!
