About In Awe
The invitation to rise
There are moments when something inside you recognizes what the mind has not yet named. The world goes still, your breath catches, and you know something is ending, or beginning, or both. You can’t go back, and the map you carried no longer fits the terrain.
Pregnancy is one of the most profound thresholds of human transformation. It begins as a physical event but soon reaches into everything: memory, hope, identity, time itself. The past comes forward with its unfinished stories; the future presses close, asking who you will become. It is beautiful and it is brutal. It demands everything. The stakes are high: life and death, joy and grief, beginnings that arrive beside endings. You may feel both wonder and dread, often in the same breath. Nothing is certain: not the path, not the outcome, not even the person you will be when you emerge. Every relationship shifts: with your body, your story, your partner, your community, your sense of what it means to belong.
In Awe meets you in this sacred territory—in the splendor and the fear, in the love that builds and the losses that reshape it. Here, every outcome is honored, every change is held. And here, you are invited to do the work that this moment makes possible and the future demands: to turn upheaval into insight, vulnerability into strength, and uncertainty into authorship. This is not just transformation for a birth, but for your life—for your own becoming, and for the world that will unfold from it.
In Awe is a call to remember your own power, to walk through great change with open eyes, and to claim the legacy that only you can begin. This is not theory. This is practice that remakes you from the inside out. It is not a retreat from the world, but a return to it—with courage, clarity, and power.
What transformation means here
Transformation is not self-improvement. It is truth-telling in the language of the body. It is choosing to face what shapes you even when every instinct says to turn away. Here, we do not shy away from complexity. We speak plainly about systems, bodies, and histories. We offer real, practical tools for communication, advocacy, and care—and help you (re)connect with the strength you have always carried. Even when you walk this path in solitude, you are not alone. The same strength that sustained generations still moves beneath your feet and offers itself to you.
Guided by lineage, not inheritance
When we say lineage, we do not mean family trees. We mean the long, unbroken river of those who have faced change with courage: the hard scrappers, the reformers, the healers, the builders of refuge and the singers of new songs. Their hands once caught the same kind of light you see now, lighting birth rooms, protest lines, and kitchens where stories became survival. To walk in awareness is to join them, to become part of a lineage that turns endurance into artistry, and memory into change.
What we offer
Unlike anything else, In Awe is not only a guide through your physical pregnancy or a preparation to become a better parent. It is a whole-person, outcome-inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally grounded journey through the thresholds of transformation and change, leading to a new understanding of self and more intentional ways of being in the world, in relationship, and in community, whether through preparing, through parenting, through unexpected turns, or through loss. It weaves grounded research, ritual practice, practical tools, and deep reflection until learning leads to new choices and transformation itself. You can access the full course online or through the app.
Practical Guidance Woven Throughout
Transformation is not only reflection; it is action lived through the body. In Awe offers grounded guidance for every practical dimension of this passage: how to speak with providers, understand medical and legal rights, and make decisions about care, birth, and recovery. It helps you prepare for what comes after birth as well: rest, feeding, physical healing, and the changing rhythms of partnership, family, and work. In Awe is strong enough to stand as your only pregnancy guide beside your medical care, to help you bring your full self into every conversation and decision, or you can layer it with other resources you find helpful. Here you’ll find tools for navigating systems that don’t always see you, language to advocate for yourself and for families coming beside and after you, and rituals for returning to strength. The sacred and the practical are never separate here; every insight is paired with something you can actually do.
In Awe: A Guide Through Your Sacred Transformation
The complete course: an immersive arc through preparing, birth, loss, should it come, renewal, postpartum, and legacy. Each section includes essays, reflections, advocacy scripts, and transformation bridges that connect personal growth to collective change.
Loving Legacies
A full Part II within In Awe and also offered separately for those who find it in their hour of need, Loving Legacies walks with families through loss, helping them remember, rebuild, and advocate in a world that often turns away. It continues the structure and holds space for grief, for memory, and for love that continues.
The Free Sample Chapter
The complete Welcome & Orientation chapter plus the section’s highlights are offered freely through our Circle community, so you can experience the rhythm, depth, and integrity of the work before you begin.
Advocacy and the world beyond
We do not stop at naming what is broken. We empower with understanding, with words to carry, with ways to start ripples now. Every reflection becomes an action; every action becomes a seed of policy, culture, and care. Our courses include tools for naming and challenging harmful systems, from medical hierarchies to cultural silences, and pathways for creating change in families, workplaces, and institutions. When you engage with In Awe, you are not only learning; you are helping reshape culture itself.
The world we are building
In Awe is both a curriculum and a movement: a gathering of people who choose to step fully into sacred change and let it shape the world around them. Together we are building a world where courage and compassion become power, where knowledge leads to justice, and every act of awareness carries forward as legacy.
In Awe continues to grow. Each new edition creates space for parents and families who have always been doing transformative work—often without recognition or rest, without being centered or celebrated. Later-in-life parents, queer and trans parents, parents of color, parents living the daily math of survival, and parents navigating disability or chronic illness have carried this labor of love for generations. Each new edition honors that endurance and creativity, inviting parents of every identity and circumstance into a shared rhythm of reflection, renewal, and belonging. The growing In Awe suite offers a place of restoration and resonance—a home for your own becoming, and for the change that begins within you.
