A little more about Chelsea Solorzano.
I’m a lover of sharing time with my husband and three little ones, connecting with family and friends, walking my dog, reading in bed while eating dark chocolate, hearing new perspectives, collecting shells along the beach with my kids, window shopping, finding new bookstores, and - always - drinking coffee.
Mothering continues to be the most exquisitely heartbreaking, beautiful, and complex thing I’ve ever done. I am still coming home to myself — imperfectly and daily, but with far more self-compassion than I used to be able to offer.
Why I created this space.
I created this space because of what I know to be true, after years of this work both personally and professionally:
You cannot give your children what you will not give yourself.
Not really. Not in the way that matters. Not in the way they will carry with them.
But when you begin to mother yourself — when you learn to notice your own inner world with kindness, to tend to your parts with warmth, to lead from the best of who you are rather than the most depleted version of yourself — something changes in the home your children live in.
You come home to yourself.
And your children feel the shift, before you say a word.
Next steps.
If any of this resonates — if you recognized yourself somewhere in these words — I’d love to offer you a place to start.
