Indigenous and Matrilineal teaching and wisdom
I want to offer this as a gift, and as an honouring. What I’m sharing now doesn’t come from theory or trend. It comes from matriarchal, matrilineal, Indigenous and ancestral teachings— and from my own lived journey of becoming. Of being chosen. Of being called. Of remembering myself as womb, seed, and birthplace. In our old ways, the womb is not just biological. It is the place where life begins, where vision is carried, where stories, leadership, and legacy are first dreamed before they are made visible. As women, as mothers, as leaders, we are life sources for what we carry into the world. For our families. For our communities. For the futures we are responsible for shaping. For a long time, I knew this—but I couldn’t always live it. There were seasons where it wasn’t safe, or allowed, to honour myself as the source. Survival required disconnection. That wasn’t weakness. It was wisdom in the conditions I was living through. What I am reclaiming now is not self-focus. It is obligation. It is responsibility. It is law. As the Barkindji Warrior, as a woman walking with Warrior Heart, I am learning to tend the source with discipline as devotion. With clear decisions. With personal protocols for how I live, love, lead, and serve. Not so I can do less—but so what flows from me is clean. Restorative. Regenerative. I am choosing to walk and weave these teachings into the world—not as something I’ve mastered, but as something I am living into, day by day. And I want to acknowledge you—this community. Those who have honoured me. Those who have served me. Those who have challenged, influenced, and shaped me. Your presence, your questions, your courage to do your own work has helped refine this next iteration of my wisdom, my entrepreneurship, and my story. This is a shared remembering. I offer this as a seed. If it nourishes you, tend it. If it calls you, listen. And if you are on your own journey of becoming— know that honouring yourself as the source is not selfish.
