What if the way we mother is also one of the ways we shape the future?

In this final episode of I Am Mother, I’m joined by Karine Ricard—a mother of three, storyteller, facilitator, and lifelong student of what makes life feel truly alive. Through her work with Mother the Future, Karine creates spaces where women can reconnect with their hearts, voices, magic, and the living world. Her work weaves astrology, human design, ancestral connection, ceremony, and embodied practices into the many transitions of womanhood and motherhood.

In this deeply intimate episode of I Am Mother, we sit with Nicole Jones — mama, guide, ceremonialist, and Maven at Maman Cacao — to explore the many layers of what it means to become a mother.

Nicole has spent more than 20 years immersed in the wellness world, but it was her own experiences, initiations, and seasons of being brought to her knees that ultimately shaped the path she walks today. Her journey through healing, ritual, plant medicine and sacred Cacao became part of a much deeper relationship with herself — and, in many ways, a preparation for the profound initiation of motherhood.

Together, we move beyond the polished image of what motherhood is “supposed” to look like and into the truth of what it can actually ask of us.

What happens when becoming a mother completely changes the person you thought you were?

In this episode of I Am Mother, I sit down with Viktoria Piechowitz—a mother of two, pre- and postnatal yoga teacher, and holistic nutrition consultant specializing in fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and baby nutrition.

Originally from Germany, Viktoria came to Canada to work in the animation industry. Then came a global pandemic, two babies, two very different birth experiences, and a motherhood journey that completely changed the direction of her life.

This episode is a deeply personal life update and the beginning of a brand new chapter.

I’m sharing some big news—I’m pregnant.

Alongside this new season, I’m also opening up about selling our home, preparing for our move, the recent release of my book, and the practice that’s helped me (and so many of my clients) navigate life’s transitions with more ease: The Season of Life ritual.

a candid episode about how we silence ourselves — why it’s somatic, where it shows up in our work and marketing, and how I’m learning to move through it as I redesign my business (and lean into sales without shrieking). personal, practical, and grounded.

Julie and I quietly ended our two‑year retreat collaboration — not with drama, but with detail, tenderness, and boundaries. In this pop‑up episode we walk through why we stepped apart, how we navigated the logistics and feelings, and what a model for dignified endings can look like in the wellness world.

A dive into what it means to be a resourced woman — not a status, but a felt, everyday capacity. Erin shares a personal cacao/dance moment that cracked open old patterns and offers four practical pillars and somatic practices to begin receiving and living with more steadiness.

In this episode, she explores vitality through the lens of embodied entrepreneurship — not as productivity or high energy, but as a relationship with the nervous system during seasons of change. Speaking from a personal period of grief, recalibration, and quiet rebuilding, she shares reflections on learning to listen beneath reactions and lead from presence rather than pressure.

In this episode, Erin explores what it really means to build a business from the body: where vitality, creativity, rhythm, and structure meet. She breaks down why entrepreneurship isn’t just strategy or branding, and why the ability to make art, make money, and make money from one’s art are three different skill sets women in business rarely get support around.

As you move toward a new year, it’s easy to feel the pressure to reinvent — to refine your brand, pivot your offers, or finally “get it right.”

In this episode, Erin invites you into a more grounded and sustainable approach to growth. Rather than chasing strategies or forcing a new identity, she explores how Human Design profile numbers can support self-trust, embodiment, and aligned leadership as 2026 approaches.

In this solo episode, Erin drops into a grounded and honest reflection on her relationship with her body and the energy of this moment in time. She explores what it means to be in a year 9 — a year of completion, release, and revolution — and how the structures we’ve built, both in the world and within our minds, are being dismantled to make space for what’s next.

This conversation touches on grief, endings, and the messy beauty of letting things fall apart to rebuild from a place of deeper truth. Erin shares how a year that felt scarce transformed into one rich with human abundance and nervous system regulation — reminding us that staying rooted in the body is how we hold steady through change in life, relationship and business.

This episode extends the conversation from Letting Go (Even When It Hurts Like Hell) and dives deeper into the death side of the death-and-rebirth cycle. Erin explores the way death shows up in our inner world—the unraveling, the shedding, the spaces we step into when we release what no longer fits.

She speaks on the seasonal pull of fall and the darker side of the year, reflecting on how these cycles mirror our own inner process. The episode closes with an invitation to explore your core needs and what they mean for your life and relationships right now.
