In Awe: A Guide Through Your Sacred Transformation
In Awe is a complete journey through change: a learning experience that reaches beyond information to become transformation itself. It welcomes parents, partners, children, and the wider community into an unfolding conversation about agency, culture, and legacy. Access In Awe as a full online course or download the app.
Here, pregnancy is understood as a series of living thresholds, each one an invitation into identity, purpose, and cultural change. The work begins with you: your body, your relationship with yourself, your history, your connections with others, and the systems that shape care. It asks what to keep and what to release, and offers ways to actually do that, through reflection, ritual, practices, and advocacy. Whether your path leads to parenting, loss, or unexpected outcomes, this work remains here with you, and so does a new understanding of self. It helps you step into the person you are becoming and begin shaping a world more just, compassionate, kind, safe, and courageous for those who will follow.
In Awe also offers clear, grounded guidance for the practical realities of pregnancy, birth, and loss. You’ll learn how to communicate with providers, understand medical and legal rights, and make informed decisions about care. The course includes support for recovery, rest, feeding, and the changing rhythms of body and relationship, helping you navigate not just ideas but daily life. It is strong enough to serve as your central pregnancy guide beside your medical care so that your preparation, healing, and growth are held in one coherent rhythm of reflection, action, and care.
Each edition of In Awe is tailored to the realities of its community—honoring how age, identity, culture, and circumstance shape both experience and need, and providing practical support to meet you in the moment. The flagship Older Parents Edition, available now, holds this same depth for everyone drawn to the work. It meets later-in-life parents directly while still welcoming all who wish to begin their journey here, until new editions open for the communities they most reflect.
In the course
Part I: Living Transformations
This first half of In Awe traces the arc of preparation, birth, and renewal. You will explore foundations of belonging, embodied change, advocacy in systems, recovery, and the practice of community care. It moves from early expectation through postpartum integration, helping you see both your own transformation and the culture you are shaping.
Part II: Loving Legacies
The second half holds the painful work of loss, remembrance, and continuity. If you lose your baby, In Awe still walks with you; you just move to Part II where the course holds this new reality. Here you learn to carry love forward, through ritual, reflection, and advocacy, and to re-enter the world with presence and purpose. Loving Legacies is part of In Awe, yet also stands on its own, offered freely for those who arrive in their hour of need.
Together, these two parts form a single movement: from creation to legacy, from private experience to shared change.
Alongside the course
Transformation deepens through practice and connection. Alongside the learning journey, you’ll find:
Community Circles: facilitated gatherings for reflection, storytelling, support, and shared learning
Advocacy Pathways: step-by-step tools for naming and transforming harmful systems in healthcare, workplaces, and communities
Partner & Family Guidance: for couples and children to move through change together
Affirmations: gentle, powerful phrases written for both you and your partner to anchor daily life in awareness, gratitude, courage, and choice
Journals: creative tools that turn daily moments into family legacy; included for you, your partner, your children, and your community (to return to you as a keepsake gift) (coming soon!)
A Storybook: to be read to children, to memory, or to the part of you still becoming; a practice to help turn love into something you can hold, share, or return to (coming soon!)
Resource Banks: including appendices from other editions of In Awe to offer intersectional resources (coming soon!)
These layers turn reflection into practice and practice into culture.
Loving Legacies (Standalone Edition)
While Loving Legacies lives within In Awe, it also has its own doorway. The standalone edition focuses exclusively on loss and memory, walking with parents, partners, and communities through the work of continuing love. It addresses the unseen labor of grief: navigating medical and legal systems, creating ritual, rebuilding relationships, and transforming silence into witness. Every reflection is paired with advocacy tools, helping you turn remembrance into legacy.
It is the complete Part II of In Awe, including everything listed in Alongside the Course above. Its Resource Banks are devoted to the work of loss, grief, advocacy, remembrance, and renewal, offering what is most relevant and sparing what is not.
Loving Legacies is offered separately if you’re arriving here at the threshold of loss, because your transformation is sacred, your loss is holy, and care must answer with courage and become what love demands—open, unconditional, and immediate.
How the course is structured
Each section of In Awe moves through a rhythm of learning and reflection. They begin with Around the World features, grounding you in global wisdom and cultural perspective, and an Invocation, calling you into presence and offering grounding and strength. They conclude with Insights Prompts, invitations to share reflections and lived experiences with institutions that help shape future care, Advocacy Scripts to use for yourself and for others, and Affirmations Highlights, drawn from the section’s larger collection. Together, these turn understanding into practice and practice into change.
Within each section, every chapter holds five complete essays, each one a threshold of its own. Every essay begins with a Cultural Lens that both names and offers a counter to harmful cultural norms and ends with an embodied Pause before offering Reflection Prompts to help you author your own story. Each chapter closes with Words to Carry, everyday scripts and journal invitations for continued reflection; a Blessing, to honor your movement through the threshold; and two Bridges, to help you cross into new understanding and connection, one for you, and one for your partner.
This rhythm carries through the entire course, weaving reflection, practice, and legacy into a living journey of sacred transformation.

Begin the journey
When you’re ready, you can step fully into In Awe: A Guide Through Your Sacred Transformation—Older Parents Edition (Parts I and II) or enter Loving Legacies, wherever you find yourself. Each path is part of the same movement: reclaiming sacred change as shared work, personal and collective, intimate and vast.
The In Awe suite
The work is not finished until every family can move through this season of transformation with care that honors their full humanity. In Awe keeps growing toward that future.
Care should not depend on age, identity, income, race, or ability—yet it does. Across the world, families still navigate systems shaped by exclusion: medicine that distrusts difference, workplaces that punish caregiving, and policies that privilege some parents over others. The In Awe suite was created in defiance of that pattern.
Each edition meets a place where belonging has been denied, offering practical guidance shaped to each audience’s lived realities and to every possible outcome—pregnancy, parenting, loss, and renewal. Each one weaves reflection, advocacy, and tools for change, including ways to share experiences and insights with institutions that shape care. Together, these editions help people turn inner transformation into cultural legacy, building connection and moving the world toward a future rooted in courage, justice, and love.
In Awe: A Guide Through Your Sacred Transformation—Older Parents Edition (Available Now)
Older parents often face a quiet bias in medicine, work, and family narratives: assumptions that transformation has an expiration date, or that energy and possibility belong only to the young. This edition refuses the idea that age limits potential. It reclaims the power and possibility of every timeline, guiding you through pregnancy, parenting, loss, and renewal as acts of strength, wisdom, and wonder, with reverence for what you’ve lived and what you’re still becoming.
In Awe: A Guide Through Your Sacred Transformation—Queer & Trans Parents Edition
Queer and trans parents still meet systems built to exclude them, from medical forms that erase identity to laws that question family legitimacy. Yet these families have always rewritten what creation can mean. This edition celebrates that living truth: that to make life as yourself, and for yourself, is an act of courage and authorship. Here, pregnancy, birth, loss and parenting expand beyond biology into a practice of becoming, chosen kinship, and freedom embodied—proof that love and courage can build a world wide enough for everyone.
In Awe: A Guide Through Your Sacred Transformation—Parents of Color Edition
Parents of color still move through systems that were never built for their safety: healthcare shaped by bias or ulterior motives, workplaces structured by inequity, histories marked by survival instead of support. Yet those same lineages hold deep resilience, turning scarcity into art, injustice into movement, and love into continuity. This edition rises from that legacy, affirming transformation as a continuation of strength already carried forward—an act of power, pride, and belonging that was never lost.
In Awe: A Guide Through Your Sacred Transformation—Survival & Resilience Edition
Many families live within the impossible math of modern life: working without rest, caring without leave, building futures in systems that measure worth by output instead of contribution. Here, survival is not a lesser story but a revered one. This edition honors the everyday heroism of keeping love alive under pressure and offers practices and tools to help you turn endurance into strength, and exhaustion into collective renewal.
In Awe: A Guide Through Your Sacred Transformation—Disability & Chronic Illness Edition
Parents living with disability or long-term illness know the quiet fight it takes to move through systems designed for other bodies: clinics that question capacity, spaces that exclude, policies that forget. This edition grows from generations of embodied wisdom—the art of adaptation, the practice of interdependence, and the unshakable truth that every way of being can hold life and love. It recenters your agency as the quiet power that moves through every body, widening what the world can hold as care, connection, and possibility.
