Welcome @Nova Maree-Prophet so excited to have you here with us in Grounded Roots Parenting! You’ve just stepped into a space full of support, real conversations, and people who truly get it. Slow down, settle in, and explore at your own pace — you’re part of the roots now 🌱 If you feel comfortable, come say hello and share a little about you or what’s helping you reconnect lately — we’re really glad you’re here 🔥🤍

I want to give a genuine shout-out to the members whose engagement this week is helping Grounded Roots reach more parents and carers 🌱 Every comment, reaction, and thoughtful reply doesn’t just support each other — it also helps new people find this space. ✨ This week’s leaderboard: 🥇 @Oddysey Campbell 🥈 @Krystal Strickland 🥉 @Jason Dobbie 🔥 🌿 @Morgan Davis 🔥 🌿 @Fria Charlane A… 🌿 @Sylv Davies 🌿 @Mel Gram 🌿 @Robin Lewis 🔥 🌿 @Ptim Pellerin 🌿 @Roslyn Hill Your voices are helping this community grow further than you probably realise — and I truly appreciate the energy you bring 🤍 If you’re enjoying the conversations, keep sharing your thoughts, asking questions, or supporting others in the comments.

I want to introduce someone who’ll be another member stepping in as a collaboration partner alongside our space 🌿 I’d love you all to meet @Oddysey Campbell ! Some of you already know how awesome she is! @Oddysey Campbell runs The “Organized” Mom — a community built around realistic time-management, lived experience, and practical systems for mums navigating busy, chaotic days. It’s a free space focused on support, productivity, and learning together, with regular tips, challenges, and hangouts woven in. Blending community support with digital design and voice work. What I really value is how her approach complements what we do here — different focus, same heart for supporting families. If you’re looking for structure, motivation, or new ways to reduce friction in everyday life, she’s definitely worth checking out 🤍 You can explore her community here: https://www.skool.com/the-balanced-mom-6729/about?ref=23b2fdaaa6614c0db929f47263a5814c?sc=1

It feels a little softer and slower everywhere today — and that’s something worth noticing. When spaces go quiet, it doesn’t mean people aren’t engaged. Often it means people are resting, reconnecting with family, getting outside, or simply giving their nervous systems a pause after a full week. Taking time for yourself isn’t stepping away from growth — it’s part of it. Whether you’re fully offline, gently scrolling, or just sitting with a warm drink, I hope today gives you a moment to reset. If you’re around, share one small thing you’ve done for yourself today!🌱
