We're Maryn + Margo

We are mamas and birth workers who decided to do birth differently– and bring others along with us. We are kind, fun to work with, and great at (lovingly) calling people on their bullshit. With 12 children and 20 years of midwifery between us, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way, and Indie Birth is our space to share it all with you.

The light is returning: What is YOUR intention for what’s to come?
**
Tonight, my family and close friends will make a fire together. We usher out the old, and invite in the new by way of writing our intentions on paper and burning them, tied onto a log. I always look forward to this winter ritual and this year there is no exception. Huge with an in-belly baby, I am extra emotional this year. I look at how big my kids are already, and how much growth has happened in the last 12 months. I’m not sure of the exact wording of my intention yet, but it’s somewhere along these lines.
**
I intend to see the beauty of each person more fully, more uniquely, and this includes myself. I saw a quote the other day, something about if we knew each person’s story, we’d love everyone. Well, we can love even without knowing the story but it takes some deliberate focus. I know for me the intention of seeing the world this way makes me love myself more, and makes me more accepting of everything. It makes me conscious of spending my time wisely too, on projects and people and are so obviously beautiful. And I think it will bring more joy and laughter to life, too. What’s funnier than humans?!
**
Spend a few moments alone today feeling into YOUR solstice intention. The light is turning, and we have the opportunity to make the most of new energies. As a fun gift to you, we are giving away our “Pleasurable Eating in Pregnancy” webinar today! You don’t have to be pregnant to get some gems from this presentation, and we hope you love it! All 12 Days of Indie Birth specials are “good” till 2019!!

Happy Solstice!
