When Fear is Upon Us - Healing Samskara
When Fear is Upon Us - Healing Samskara

What if you found out your worst nightmare is a figment of your imagination?

Self Care as Soul Connection

I stepped into the familiar brick building on Broad Street for the first time in over 6 months.

Wild Heart | Wild Mama
Wild Heart | Wild Mama

Some of us were born with a wild heart – a heart that wants to remain open, despite any risk of being discovered and damaged.

Let Us
Let Us

Let’s talk about pedestals and comparisons and jealousy. Then, let’s take it a step further and talk about racism and sexism and hate.

We are

We are all soul-mamas, kindred spirits, joined together through our shared experience of motherhood. It doesn’t matter what we believe, or how we parent. It doesn’t matter how we got here …

“Why, if it was an illusion, not praise the catastrophe, whatever it was, that destroyed illusion and put truth in it's place?” ― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own. . . Damn,,,, she's right. ✨✨✨ #virginiawoolf #femininerising #writerslife #soulmastyle

When your heart is open, you experience reality. Your vulnerability allows for truth - in the way you feel, and the way life unfolds. We're seeing vulnerability everywhere now, in marches and voices and disbelief and tears. We're also seeing the reality. . . There’s an instinct to protect ourselves – don’t feel it and we don’t risk feeling pain. . . But then we also miss feeling the love. Do you remember what it feels like to fall in love? To put your entire heart in someone else’s hands? To let go completely of outcome and ego and separation, and melt into someone’s soul with true understanding? An understanding that love is real. And when we lead with our heart, in any situation, there can’t be any consequence other than truth. . . Women standing up and speaking our truth is a lovely, unashamedly beautiful thing - but it won't come without vulnerability and pain. {new} blog post coming soon... #yougotthismama #soulmastyle #metoo #powerofwords #femininerising
I love meditating in the morning. After a few yoga poses to wake up my body. I sit on a pillow on the floor. With my eyes closed, waiting for the sun to brighten the entire sky. . . But I also love meditating on a run. With headphones in my ears. Music loud. Solid ground beneath my feet. Wind on my face. Water by my side. . . What’s your favorite way to meditate? To revel in the beauty all around you? To seek peace. To go within. To listen. #yougotthismama #soulmastyle #dailymeditation #ohheymama #findyourtribe #modernmama #momlife #momsofinstagram #motherhoodthroughinstagram #unitedmotherhood #motherhoodrising #momwarrior #yogamom #yogastyle #yogalifestyle #breastfeedingstyle #maternitystyle #breastfeedingfriendly #mindfulmama #newmom #beyondmotherhood #dailyaffirmation #lifestyleblogger #mamalife #femininerising #meditationinspiration #powerofone
Guess I wasn't the best one to ask Me myself with my face pressed Up against love's glass To see the shiny toy I've been hoping for The one I never can afford The wide world spins and spits turmoil And the nations toil for peace But the paws of fear upon your chest Only love can soothe that beast. - Indigo Girls. . . I've always had my face pressed up against love's glass - wanting it but not feeling worthy. Eyeing it without understanding that love must first come from me. . . The world spins. But love isn’t sitting elusive and expensive behind a window display - love has been here the whole time. #loveistheanswer . . #soulma #soulmastyle #yougotthismama #ohheymama #findyourtribe #modernmama #momlife #momsofinstagram #motherhoodthroughinstagram #unitedmotherhood #motherhoodrising #momwarrior #yogamom #yogastyle #yogalifestyle #breastfeedingstyle #maternitystyle #nursingtank #breastfeedingfriendly #mindfulmama #newmom #beyondmotherhood #dailyaffirmation #lifestyleblogger #mamalife #femininerising #meditationinspiration #powerofwoman
It’s impossible to stay the same. . . You are no more permanent than the seasons or the day, so stop resisting it so much. And stop expecting it from everyone else. Change wakes us up. . . Anger is like an alarm clock, resistance like a warm blanket on a cold morning. It holds us yet warns - I know it’s comfy in here, but you have to get up. #votenov6 #womenempowerment #feminist #feministfashionista #soulma #soulmastyle @meganswederskiphotography ❤️ . . #yougotthismama #ohheymama #findyourtribe #modernmama #momlife #momsofinstagram #motherhoodthroughinstagram #unitedmotherhood #motherhoodrising #momwarrior #yogastyle #yogalifestyle #breastfeedingstyle #maternitystyle #mindfulmama #beyondmotherhood #dailyaffirmation #lifestyleblogger #mamalife #femininerising #meditationinspiration #powerofonewoman
My yoga instructor always tells me, “lead with your heart.” . . So I point my chest to the sky and fold over my standing legs. I arch up into monkey pose, and jump back into plank. Curling and rippling like a wave, I flow mindfully into upward facing dog, and float my gaze upward. . . Lead with my heart - I think my teacher is onto something. #yougotthismama #soulmastyle #yogaforlife #yogaforsurvival #ohheymama #findyourtribe #modernmama #momlife #momsofinstagram #motherhoodthroughinstagram #unitedmotherhood #motherhoodrising #momwarrior #yogatank #yogamom #yogastyle #yogalifestyle #breastfeedingstyle #maternitystyle #nursingtank #breastfeedingfriendly #mindfulmama #newmom #beyondmotherhood #dailyaffirmation #lifestyleblogger #mamalife #femininerising #meditationinspiration #powerofonewoman
You can mind bend it all you want - gab about it with all your friends, read all the books, research, write, plan, work, control, push. . . But until you stop, you’re not standing still.

“Only from the heart can you touch the sky.” - Rumi . . Always lead with your heart - what’s true in a yoga pose, is true in life. #yougotthismama #soulmastyle #yogawarrior #shineyourtruth
Having babies and starting a business - who's done that? . . I have. I remember the beginning and the weight of it all. I remember the nights feeling inadequate and scared. I remember the sacrifice of my body and my faith. . . And now I invite in a new path. The past year-and-a-half has tested me in ways I never knew - seemingly all at once. So I had no choice but to listen. This is my story - and you mamas and entrepreneurs and women and feminists and nurturers and lovers and goddesses... I hope you love it.

Soul Ma clothing

formerly Molly Ades Maternity

Designing my maternity and breastfeeding clothing line was inspired by motherhood, and my experience as a brand-new, breastfeeding mom. I felt majorly jipped that I couldn’t wear what I wanted - that I couldn’t breastfeed comfortably and easily while also remaining true to my fashionista self. My clothes are perfect for pregnancy, motherhood, and breastfeeding, but they are also just REALLY CUTE, comfy, high-quality clothes!

Running my business for the last 8 years has been an immense learning experience, and the greatest gift. Like most things in life, my clothing line is moving in a new direction. New partnerships and exciting adventures await, so stay tuned!

For now, please visit the Soul Ma Shop to take advantage of liquidation prices!
