Guys!! Hi!! I have a huge announcement to make and we’re going to do it the old fashioned blog way for mems. Drum roll please: THE SPIRITUAL MOMS CLUB HAS ARRIVED! The mom and baby merchandising of our literal dreams. It’s here! It’s live! Just in time to get our hands on it for Mother’s Day. 🙂
(YAYYY! And if you subscribe to my newsletter, you’ll have twice the fun today because moms, we’re celebrating!)
OH MY GOD. That’s right. This crazy, fun idea that I’ve dreamed up in my head since Atticus was born has become a reality, and I’m so excited about it. Since the blog is where I share all of my deepest thoughts and deepest feelings, you are going to get the FULL story.
Are you ready ? !
Can you even handle Atticus in the toddler t-shirt of the line ?! I CAN’T! Agree with mom! And he was the most natural model ever! I die.
The full story of Spiritual Moms Club //
When I became a mother for the first time, I was truly in shock and in awe of the life change that had just taken place. I was caught somewhere between euphoria and exhaustion, joy and panic, happiness and confusion, love and pain (so much pain, lol), and JUST as they say, it’s something that absolutely no one can prepare you for, in the best and craziest way.
It was both emotionally blissful and extremely exhausting. In fact, I’m STILL exhausted just thinking about that time. You may know this if you have read or listened to our birth story, but when Atticus was born he had extremely severe jaundice. It’s not like the cute/”no big deal” kind of jaundice that a lot of babies are born with, where a little sunshine and some good poo will do the trick to get it out of their system.
Like the jaundice guy “these bilirubin levels are so alarming we don’t know what to tell you and we don’t know what’s wrong” where we immediately had to become his health advocates and settle right in there. children’s hospital when I was still hours away from recovering from the birth. The kind of jaundice that can damage the liver and brain, and our precious little man dropped to about 5 pounds during that time. It was dreadful and terrifying.
So…we were in the hospital for two weeks while they performed test after test. We spent Christmas and New Years in the hospital. Days turned into nights and we didn’t know up and down or right and left. We bonded immensely with our angel boy, but we also had to keep him in a bed of blue light for 23 hours a day. Jonathan and I have seen the sides of each other that no one should Never must see. Two sleep-deprived, worried AF, brand-new parents are truly a sight to behold, let me tell you.
That’s when I learned that Atticus was born with inordinate strength that could shatter the whole damn earth, I swear. He didn’t stop smiling once. He is definitely a spirit being from the realms beyond. But that’s a story for another day. He pulled through and has been the healthiest little bean ever since. He is strong, vigorous, cheerful and a ball of joy. He is perfect.
On that note, I always say the best thing about getting into motherhood was joining the MOTHERS CLUB who immediately supported me. When we were in the hospital with Atticus during those terrifying, cloudy-eyed, sleepless days and nights that all blended into a senseless existence…it was my mother friends who came to see us 10 times a day.
Like, mom friends with whom I wasn’t even necessarily super close: they just understood. It was tacit. Every time I looked at my phone, my friends who were moms (not to mention my OWN mom who never left us once!!) had checked in, sent love, sent food, sent a good energy, and I could feel their presence and the love surrounding us. It’s something that I will Never forget. And like I said, they weren’t all my best friends to begin with. They are all fellow moms who have just had it.
From there, I made it my mission to pass it on to every longtime new mom in my life. Being a mother has given me a new appreciation for ALL the mothers I know. And not just a mother, but a spiritual mother. Someone who lives in this world and feels connected to all spiritual realms at the same time.
We are not just a moms club, we are a spiritual moms club. AND I know that a large part of our community has not yet entered into motherhood, may not want to have children, or may be trying – and I want you to know, I see you. This club is for everyone. Even if you just love a mom friend, a sister, a mom of yours, this is for you! No one is left behind.3
How it was channeled:
So now you’ve heard the birth story in a little more depth and understand how becoming a member of the motherhood club has changed my life and made me feel so nurtured and supported. Beyond that, an idea for a merchandising line, a hub, a community, a spiritual community for mothers started to come to fruition… (because I’m a serial entrepreneur, triple air sign that never stops to dream and do, what can I say).
I loved connecting with other moms right after having Attie, but I also had a lot of experiences where I felt out of place. I signed up for so many moms groups and many of them just weren’t my vibe at all. I’m kind of alternative out there, spiritual, different, deep, you know… you get me. I didn’t feel the connection in a lot of these groups where at the end of class the mothers were running to their cars with their strollers and refusing to have a conversation with anyone, lol. It was like no one was there to make friends?
But then, through my doula and my postpartum doula, I really connected with my people. Moms who felt a lot like me. And although we are all different, we share many similar values. People I’d like to be friends with even though we weren’t all exactly the same age, you know?! From there, I felt this deep, innate desire to create a community of moms that I could really vibe with that extended beyond that small group. I felt like it was something I had to bring to the TBB community.
Then one day, when Attie was about 8 weeks old, it hit me: Witty. Moms. Club. I am in the process of creating a club of spiritual mothers. I imagine it’s so huge for you guys – like meetups, classes, events, everything. But the first thing that was passed down was the clothes. I’m a merch girl at heart, always have been since my days at OG TBV Apparel.
It’s just fun! It’s not like the clothes are even super lucrative (it’s never about that for me), it’s just like a tangible way to connect. If you see another mom on the street rocking a Spiritual Moms Club tee and their baby wears Spirit Babies Club, wouldn’t you immediately strike up a conversation with them!?!? I’m sure the hell would!
Mixing my spirituality with my motherhood is ultimately what kept me cool all this time. And finding a community to do it with was the icing on the cake.
So the merchandising is here!! Launched today! Just in time for Mother’s Day !! For you. for a mom friend, or for your own mom! And beyond matching mommy and baby t-shirts, we also have crewneck sweaters (two styles!), yoga shorts (HELL YES!), and stickers!! The stickers are so fun and cute for your water bottle, notebook, journal, computer, iPhone, what have you!!
You can shop on this link. Feel free to let me know your questions below, and send me a comment and some love if you decide to purchase!! Also, follow @spiritualmomsclub on IG for all the up-to-date magic, photos, videos and motherhood content. I could even start writing poems there again. You never know. 😉
I’m so excited about this new direction and so excited to bring it to you. Thank you so much to my longtime designer Anelise (who is an amazing mom of two) for creating these designs, to my Dear Media team for helping bring them to life, to my TBB team for all the amazing work in making them a reality, and to all the mothers for your support along the way.
And above all, thanks to Atticus, for making me a mom. <3 🥹
I LOVE YOU ALL!! Let’s celebrate today! WOOOO!
