Powerful! Desire and want has definitely been suppressed in me but a lot less so than it used to be! Definitely here for going after what I truly desire now. Love that you are creating your own show here on Substack! How wonderful we get to do this!! Xxx
I think for a long time I was just so overwhelmed in the depths of new motherhood that I couldn’t work out what I wanted! I’m excited- I love experimenting and trying new things so I figured I’d give it a go 🤣🤣
Absolutely. My littlest is 3 in May and it’s breaking my heart that she’s getting so much more independent. But I can also see its opening up space for me to sparkle more ✨ Here’s to shining our light brightly in 2025 😍
👏👏👏 this is brilliant and inspiring Kendall! I absolutely love your message to stop asking for permission, it is something I knowingly and unknowingly do a lot, certainly a hangover from the ‘good girl’/people pleasing tendencies I was raised to have… thank you for this reminder and also a timely reminder to not allow my daughter (or son) to fall into this trap. LOVE the sound of your garden show, sounds fabulous and ideal for me, 5 minute gardening is very familiar! xx
A Great Garden Rebellion, oh yes! I'm not much of a gardener myself, but I've felt the urge in the past few days to buy seeds and start thinking about what to grow this year, which until now I've left to my husband. I love that you're creating your own garden TV show – it reminds me of a few writers I know who have decided to self-publish, rather than wait for approval from the gatekeepers.
Oooh thats so interesting that you're feeling called to grow this year Annette. What have you got your eye on? I'm just making a cuppa so will have a read of your siren song while I take my afternoon break :) Thank you so much for sharing 🌱
Not sure where in the world you are, but I’m going live tomorrow at 12.30pm (UK time) answering all your questions on ‘How to get started in your garden’ would love to help you with any questions you have xx
Well written!

I love that! I felt a shift just after 2 with both of mine. Still very much in the trenches a bit but there is a fraction more sparkle!! Xx

I think you’d struggle to find a woman of our generation who wasn’t raised to be a good girl- it’s so goddam pervasive!
I’m glad it resonated with you and awareness is the first step in breaking the cycle and not passing it on to our children 😍
Come join us on Tuesday if you’re free- or do pop any gardening questions you have here and I’ll answer them on the show 🌱 xx
Looking forward to your TV show! Your post reminded me of a phrase that was repeated to me often as a child - "I want never gets" 🙄
Oh goodness! Yes that phrase brings up awful memories for me too. Here’s to sticking two fingers up to it hey?! Xx
